Just 18 months after her own reality show win, Jordin Sparks took to the stage of another competition show - So You Think You Can Dance - but this time, she came as a fan!

“[Katee and Joshua] did a routine to my song, “No Air,” and it was crazy to see how they moved to it. It was beautiful and I totally saw the story. I got chills,” Sparks tells Us of the pair’s June 11 performance. “I played it 100 times!”

What’s it like for Sparks – who performed “No Air” on SYTYCD’s June 29 results show - to see American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe take a seat at the SYTYCD judging table? “So crazy!” she says. “We [got] to see him behind the scenes on Idol, but here he talks about so much more. With Nigel being the producer of Idol, he’d [tell us] 'How about you try walking here? Do a note here. A jig here.' He knows what he’s talking about [on both shows] and knows what looks good on TV.”

As for Lythgoe’s co-judge, Mary Murphy, Sparks says there’s no contest if Murphy challenged her to a scream-off. “I couldn’t scream if my life depended on it,” Sparks says with a chuckle. “Nothing comes out when I try.”
