Last week on the Idol result's show, season six winner Jordin Sparks performed her new single, the Ryan Tedder-penned and produced "Battlefield."
I can't decide if I love this song or not. It loses a couple of points for the stealing the whole idea behind Pat Benatar's "Love Is A Battlefield" but it makes up a lot of points by not re-using the "Halo"/"Already Gone" beat Tedder has already foisted upon us. More importantly, when Jordin leads the choir in "Better go get your armor" towards the end, I can't help but sing along. It's good pop music, even if it's not a totally new concept. Plus, she looks hot. (It's OK, fellas - she's legal now.) Watch:
PS: Pat Benatar & Blondie are co-headlining a tour this summer. Who else has their leg-warmers ready?

I like Ryan Tedder but I would love for him to write something either really slow or really fast. All these mid-tempo songs are starting to sound the same. Well done. But the same...
Although if Jordin does some choreographed dancing in a bar for the video all will be forgotten...
I find that to the problem with most big-name producers. They can get into a groove that the rest of us are over. Even when Babyface produced those Fall Out Boy tracks, I knew which were his without checking the liner notes.
