      As the two-hour mark approaches and the final float begins its trip down Colorado Blvd., the vibrant, unstoppable force that is Jordin Sparks, winner of American Idol’s electric sixth season, gears up to deliver a captivating performance to a global audience with her infectious energy and sensational vocals.

      By News Desk

      Jordin Sparks is a Grammy nominated, multi-platinum singer/songwriter and actress who, in one of the show’s highest-rated seasons, garnered worldwide attention as the winner of season six of American Idol. Cumulatively, Sparks’ popular singles have sold over 10 million digital tracks in the U.S. Sparks is also a gifted songwriter. Ariana Grande’s smash single, “The Way,” was co-written by Sparks and earned her a B.M.I. songwriting award. She has toured with superstars Britney Spears, Alicia Keys, The Jonas Brothers, New Kids on The Block, and the Backstreet Boys, and headlined her own tour.

      The Grand Finale Float is presented by Mansion Entertainment Group based in Branson, Missouri. Their soaring circular ceiling and magnificent regal staircase will be showcased on an unforgettable floral float.

      With its theme, “Celebrating a World of Music,” the 2024 Rose Parade is set to bring us together through music. In a world of different cultures, beliefs, hopes, and dreams, one language unites us all — music. The sound, texture, rhythm, form, harmony, and expression meld together to move, soothe, excite, and delight the world.
