Jordin or Jerry? You be the judge.

American Idol judge Randy Jackson last night called Jordin Sparks' performance of You'll Never Walk Alone "one of the best vocals by any contestant ever on the show ever in six seasons."

But forget Whitney, Celine, Mariah or Fantasia-- how does the rendition by Coca Cola's anointed Idol winner stack up against Jerry Lewis? After all, even though Idol used the song to kick off tonight's Idol Gives Back charity telethon-Idol elimination show, it's been Jerry's closing number for something like forty years.

THAT'S where I know the song from!!! It was driving me CRAZY! Ah, the Jerry Lewis telethon. And, may I say, her version kicks a@# to his.
