American Idol Jordin Sparks does an excellent job with her sophomore album. The music on this album is way different than the music on her debut album. There are songs that you can get up & listen to, and there are songs that you can just sit back and mellow out. Here's my review on this album:

1.) Walking on Snow: Wonderful song to start the album off right. It's got a great, infectious beat that can just stay in your head for who knows how long.
2.) Battlefield: One of my favorite songs off this album. Jordin sings with such passion and strength, plus she really gives it her all.
3.) Don't Let Go To Your Head: This song was originally sung by Fefe Dobson, but in my opinion (agree or disagree), Jordin sings this song so much better.
4.) SOS (Let The Music Play): Wonderful, upbeat song that samples Shannon's "Let the Music Play" that's great to dance to and would possibly do wonders on the Billboard charts.
5.) It Takes More: Nice, upbeat power ballad that once again Jordin sings with soul, passion, and strength.
6.) Watch You Go: Cool, upbeat song that's fun to dance to and has a very catchy melody.
7.) No Parade: Another, cool catchy songs that reminds me of something that would be on Jordin's debut album.
8.) Let It Rain: Great, soulful upbeat power ballad that's amazing to listen to
9.) Emergency (911): Catchy, cool, upbeat song that's great to listen to and once again has a catchy melody & beat
10.) Was I The Only One: Sweet, soulful ballad that Jordin does a wonderful job on.
11.) Faith: Great soulful song with a powerful message.
12.) The Cure: Nice, soulful song that's great to listen to and could possibly do good as a single

Here are the bonus tracks on Jordin's deluxe version of the album:

1.) Papercut: Nice, soothing ballad that's good to listen to.
2.) Postcard: Cool, soulful song with a beautiful melody and great to listen to.

Her first album was alright, had No Air, and Tattoo. That was about it for me. This one has some amazing tracks. I didn't like S.O.S. (Let The Music Play) or Emergency (911) but I love Don't Let It Go To Your Head, No Parade, Papercut, Postcard, Watch You Go (Me and my boyfriend, definitely), Was I The Only One (me and my ex fiance), Walking On Snow, and Battlefield. It is rare that I like more than half of a disc, and if that happens, it's a five star. This is one amazing CD. I recommend it to anyone who likes pop music, even if you didn't like her first disc, you will like this one.

I knew sampling album that I was going to buy it. Found her first album too 'corny' but this album is much more my kind of music and very well done. Buy it trust me.

What's makes this cd most enjoyable is not the disposable usual pop tunes, its Jordin's magnetic larger than life voice. These songs coming from your average pop singer would sound boring and more often than not awfully annoying, but Jordin delivers them with an amazing stunning range. Even made for Sweet Sixteen party track SOS (let the music play) sounds fresh and dynamic coming from Jordin. Album Highlights:
"Walking on Snow"- The title sounds cheesy but after a few listens you won't be able to help but sing-a-long
"SOS(let the music play)- Its a guaranteed guilty pleasure.
"The Cure"- Her voice soars in this melodic ballad.
"Was I the only one"- I don't know if she's experienced such a heartbreak but she delivers this song with genuine emotion.
"No Parade"
"It takes more"- A true female anthem.
Jordin doesn't disappoint; what the lyrics lack in depth and originality Jordin's voice more than makes up for it.

Battlefield I have both of Jordan's albums and they are both very good. She is living up to her American Idol title. I listen to all kinds of music and would recommend this album to anyone. There is a nice blend of music on the album that gives you a sense that Jordan can deliver any type of song. Jordan's maturity and experience is very evident on her second Album. I can't wait to hear Jordan's next album.

I really love the tone and quality of this young woman. She has an incredible voice. I hope in the future she begins to sing some younger songs.

This album was awesome as my 7 year old says, she really loves Jordan Sparks song Battlefield.She danced through the whole album. It was a great joy to see her face light up when I gave it to her.

Jordan, this is one the best I have heard in YEARS! You have a great gift, you are the next Whitney or Mariah; keep the great music coming we love you!

Loved this album, entire thing is good. Should have several more singles from it , in my opinion.

I wasn't too sure how I felt about this cd. Depending on the artist, it usually takes a few times listening in order for me to figure out if I like it or not. After the 3rd time, I have to say that this is one of my favorites. I enjoyed Jordin's 1st cd very much and this one is even better. She has definitely grown as an artist and her voice has become even stronger. I highly recommend this to anyone who is a Jordin fan or just someone who wants to hear music with a catchy beat. I love listening to it at work when I need a pick-me-up!
