That Alicia Keys show I told you about earlier this week now has an opening act: "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks will open the May 11 concert at Arco Arena.

Now, just between you and me - Sparks (pictured in a photo courtesy of MTV) is cute, charismatic and definitely gifted - but does she really have the emotional depth to match Keys' extraordinary talent and range?

I guess that's why Sparks is the opening act - she's still honing her stage chops so why not learn at the microphone stand of one of mainstream pop's best?

Well played Sparks, well played.

Anyhoo, tickets ($37.75-$123.25) go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday via TicketMaster.com.
