Randy Jackson, now looking forward to his tenth season as a judge on Fox’s landmark reality show American Idol, has joined the Walmart-P&G effort to develop and promote family-friendly TV movies. 

Utilizing the singing talents of Jordin Sparks and Brooke White from AI, as well as other new artists, Jackson has produced soundtrack CDs based on the effort’s first two films, Secrets of the Mountain and The Jensen Project, both of which recently aired on NBC.

Jackson says he was eager to become involved in a project that promotes the sort of family entertainment he enjoyed growing up. He says the songs chosen for the CDs feature positive lyrics that are in keeping with the tone of the movies they’re an extension of. For more of Jackson’s thoughts on the project click here.

I recently spoke with Brooke White about her involvement with the project. Along with the opportunity to work with Jackson (who she expressed great respect for), she said she was excited to work on something so positive.

The singer, who placed fifth in Idol’s seventh season, says she grew up on family shows and would like to see more of them produced.  Among her favorite shows as a kid in Mesa, Arizona was the intelligently warm family dramedy The Wonder Years. 

Here she is performing Change which she sings on the Secrets of the Mountain CD.
