Jordin Sparks, in my opinion, is an above average singer at the most. She's definitely not a great singer, and I doubt she ever will be. I cannot see her ever being in the ranks of an Alicia Keys or Mariah Carey or Keyshia Cole (and in a couple more years, Leona Lewis may be in my list too...she has great vocal abilities reminding me of Mariah Carey). Jordin is good and I think she has a pretty voice but I think she lacks the vocal abilities and ranges to ever compete with Alicia or Mariah or Keyshia.
