9 pm/ET NBC New There are plenty of sparks in tonight's annual pyrotechnic spectacle, which is hosted by Natalie Morales and Tiki Barber. Not only will New York City's nightscape spark to life in fireworks-emblazoned color, but sparks of a different sort will light up as well. That would be Jordin Sparks, the
American Idol songstress, who performs her single "One Step at a Time." The performance bill also features Sparks' fellow
Idol alum Katharine McPhee, country artist Kenny Chesney, Brit popster Natasha Bedingfield and singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw. The New York Pops, conducted by Rob Fisher, add musical firepower to the night's theme, "America Dances," featuring patriotic tunes and classic dance songs. —
