American Idol‘s most underrated finalist Jordin Sparks performed for the Energizer/VH1 Save The Music event yesterday in New York City’s Times Square (July 28th). The gig was to celebrate the VH1 Save The Music Foundation, in which the 21-year-old serves as their ambassador. The under-promoted singer has been largely overshadowed by the new wave of Disney kids plaguing the music scene right now. However, Sparks has been hard at work recording her new album, which she is now taking her time with.

While we wait for Sparks to reclaim her dominance to the chart, she treated delighted crowds to live renditions of hit singles ‘Battlefield’ and ‘No Air’. The Arizona native paraded around her new trim figure once more in a summery little dress. Check out the performances below.
