Theatrically released in August 2012 and now,(drum roll) rushed out on DVD for your hard earned coins, "Sparkle" with a few scenes of Whitney Houston. This is a real turkey. See the original. Jordin Sparks has half-baked soul. The kind of soul that gives me gas. Never will she come close to the original and more believeable "Sparkle", Irene Cara. Priviledgedand manufactured, sub par upfart (upstart) Jordin Sparks, the perky American Idol/former NFL player's daughter should have spent time in the 'hood. Perhaps, she would have sparkled and not fizzled in this forgettable bad remake.R.I.P. Whitney Houston fans! Her voice was gone before she died.
