Sparks graced the stage as the youngest AMERICAN IDOL winner and then
spent the following summer months crafting her eponymous debut.

while on the road during the 56-city Pop Tarts American Idol Live!
tour.

of more than 160 million units worldwide. In 2006, she took her show
on the road for the first time in more than three years. Her new
DVD, "The Adventures of Mimi," features footage from her highly
successful tour, which was a grand celebration of her 15-year career.

Lifehouse, best known for multiple Top-40 hits and having sold over 5
million albums in the U.S., are singer-songwriter Jason Wade, drummer
Rick Woolstenhulme and bassist Bryce Soderberg. The band has been
climbing the charts since the release of their multi-platinum debut
