Washington, Nov 25 : American pop/R&B singer Jordin Sparks has no qualms about making a pledge to stay a virgin until her wedding night, but she does find being considered a role model a little daunting.

Sparks, 18, was very flattered when she was praised for her chastity pledge and for setting herself apart from so many other celeb troublemakers, at the American Music Awards, where she presented with an un-televised award as Favourite Adult Contemporary Artist.

“The role model tag has definitely been thrust on me and that''s something I don''t take lightly,” Fox News quoted Sparks as saying.
