Next To You 《美国偶像》的冠军歌曲

英文歌词：

Two o'clock and I wish that I was sleeping
You're in my head like a song on the radio
All I know is I gotta get next to you
Yeah I gotta get next to you
Sitting here turning minutes in the hours
To find the nerve¹ just to call you on the telephone
Cuz you don't know that I gotta get next to you
Maybe we're friends, maybe we're more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby, call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I, just gotta get next to you
Oh, oh
Asked around and I heard that you were talking
Told my girl that you thought I was out of your league
What a fool, I gotta get next to you
Oh, yeah
It's five in the morning and I can't go to sleep
Cuz I wish, yeah I wish you knew what you mean to me
Baby, let's get together and end this mystery
Maybe we're friends, maybe we're more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby, call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I, just gotta get next to you
Whatcha gotta say
Watcha gotta do
How you get the one you want
To wanna get next to you
Watcha gotta say
Watcha gotta do
How you get the one you want
To wanna get next to you
Watcha gotta say
Watcha gotta do
How you get the one you want
To wanna get next to you
Watcha gotta say
Watcha gotta do
How you get the one you want
To wanna get next to you, yeah yeah
To wanna get next to you
Maybe we're friends, maybe we're more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby, call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
So baby, call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I, just gotta get next to you
Oh, oh
Yeah
Oh, oh
Next to you
Oh, oh
Yeah
I gotta get next to you

歌手介绍:

Jordin Sparks²
年龄: 17岁 黑人女高中生。是“美国偶像”冠军得主，中国超女等选修节目的鼻主。
出生地: Glendale, AZ

现居西雅图
在她会说话之前, Jordin 的歌声就频频出现在电视和广播里, 三岁的时候就在她妈妈的磁带里清脆放音. 在小学时她用厨房当排练室，站在橱柜上练声，初中时在教堂唱诗班唱歌, 并乐此不疲。
当Jordin的爸爸在纽约巨人和达拉斯牛仔队踢足球时，他的职业让她有了更适合与公众和媒体接触的机会。
闯荡在全美数年，她的父母让她在各种场合抛头露面，包括百老汇表演，她意识到作为一个小女孩，应当在舞台上表现。
当她爸爸从NFL退休，她的家庭在菲尼克斯区安定下来，Jordin更频繁地在教堂、学校、各社交场所。在她12岁时，也就是2002年，她获得了“亚利桑那州新星”，它是由可口可乐赞助的。后来陆续又有很多挖星的比赛跟风，她声名鹊起，还为菲尼克斯太阳队唱歌。

2006年九月，她陆续赢得了“亚利桑那偶像”，“西雅图偶像”，接着在那里获得了“美国偶像”的桂冠。该届“美国偶像”是福克斯电视台举办的第六季。
做为最年轻也是最新一届AI的冠军,Jordin很自然的会被拿去跟她之前的前辈们做比较.而显然,不管是本身嗓音的本钱和唱功Jordin都不算是其中最出色的,但正如评委们所说,她在处理歌曲时那种自然就溶入其中的投入度,并不是每个歌手身上都能找到的特质.这些在她处理一些中慢版的抒情歌时显得特别的突出,甚至有些超乎她年纪的成熟感.
而这张同名专辑里,就我来说,Jordin的表现做为一个新人来说算是可圈可点,丝毫没有一般新人的青涩和怯场.而除了象第一主打这样迎合现在市场的流行曲,和同算是新人的Chris Brown合作的是专辑另一个大的亮点.顺畅的旋律,默契的合作,很有大热起来的潜质.Shy Boy这样的流行电音舞曲的尝试却是出人意表,原来Jordin也能是这样的~
而个人很喜欢的却总是让我有种似曾相识的感觉,那种一层层不紧不慢迫近你的感觉象极了Take That的英伦流行曲调调,由Jordin唱来,格外的特别~当然不能不能不提的是Jordin的中低音比起她的几位师姐都更迷人,在这首里得到了相当好的展现.
最后收尾的是最早暴光的首发单曲.即使是过了几个月后的现在听来,仍然禁不住那样的感动.几乎可以说是历届AI继后最打动人的冠军单曲.
很快,Jordin的音乐之路就要真的在她眼前展开了,祝福这个美丽的小女生能走得精彩走得坚定
