Which would you rather do: laze on a sun-soaked beach, or share a stage with the Princess of Pop?

For Jordin Sparks, it was a no-brainer.

When the American Idol star was coming to the end of an exhausting tour with the JonasBrothers and putting in countless hours on her new video at the same time, she was beginning to fantasize about taking a break from the road.

But then came that once-in-a-lifetime call from Britney Spear’s camp.

“They said: ‘Britney Spears needs an opener and we want to know if you want to do it, today.’

“And, I was like ‘I don’t get time to think?’ At the time a was planning a vacation after the tour.”

“But, who thinks about that kind of thing?

“It was a lot of fun and watching her on stage was great — being able to see her up on that stage again with everything going on around her, like her costumes changes and she was dancing and she was doing her thing and it was really cool out there.

“Because, I mean, she has been a part of my life since I was 9 years old. She’s been the epitome of celebrity since I was little, so to see her up there doing what she loves was really, really cool.”

You’ve just finished supporting Britney on tour. How did that go?
“Great! Before one of the very last shows, I got to chat with Britney and say thank you for having me on the tour. She told me she really liked my show, which was cool to hear. I didn’t have chance to hang out with her too much because she’s Britney and she’s always doing something, but I bumped into her a few times and she was always really sweet. And of course she killed it onstage! Her production’s just crazy with all the dancers and contortionists and aerialists. It’s an amazing spectacle to watch.”
