It's released 22nd June here. Hopefully they may push for an earlier release though judging from it's early success in America? No? Maybe.

 

Absolutely incrediable song, I don't think it will ever get old.

Let's discuss the new Jordin Sparks single

 

Thursday, May 14 2009, 11:32 BST

 

Last summer we all went a bit nuts for 'No Air', Jordin Sparks's uber-emotional duet with the then uncontroversial Chris Brown. Now the American Idol star has done it again. Her new single, which popped up online a couple of days ago, is already one of the songs of 2009.

 

It's called 'Battlefield' and it's co-written and produced by OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, the man behind 'Bleeding Love' and 'Halo'. It does bear a passing resemblance to the latter, but it's more bombastic, more overblown and, well, just plain better.

 

"Why does love always feel like a battlefield?" Sparks asks on the chorus, presumably awaiting a response from eighties rock queen Pat Benatar. Actually, Benatar isn't a bad starting point when describing what 'Battlefield' sounds like. It's got desk-rattling drums, lashings of guitar, a corking vocal performance, lyrics that really go to town with the "love is war" metaphor and a production job that's as subtle as Lady GaGa's dress sense. It's essentially a classic soft rock ballad pumped full of steroids and given a gleaming noughties makeover.

 

Oh, and when Sparks sang it on American Idol last night, she did so in true soft rock fashion - surrounded by industrial quantities of dry ice. Number one surely beckons.

Oh my, I loved that performance, she's so much sexier this time around :o

 

Ryan was completely useless though, we didn't even see his face!

Loved the performance and im very pleased to see it got a good review from DS
Amazing performance! Perfect vocals! And loved the attitude :kink: No.1 here we come! ^_^

Shame it's a shortened version.

Number 1 forever please :kink:

She puts soi much emotion into that its brilliant <3 She looks really demonic at the end though when the camera zooms in and the lights go out :o

I really hope the video reflects the song and is not as someone said, just Jordin crying in a room. There needs to be some special effects, maybe Jordin singing in the midst of an epic LOTR style war :P Well one can hope right?

More than a month away, but at least it's not something like September. :D

 

This is without a doubt, my favourite song of the year! :o
