Jordin Sparks Battlefield (Video)

Here is the official Jordin Sparks Battlefield video. See the music video, photos, lyrics of the lead single from the forthcoming album of the same title.

The Jordin Sparks Battlefield video is in support of the official lead single of the Grammy-nominated 19-year-old former American Idol and R&B and pop singer’s sophomore album which is set for release on July 14, 2009 on Jive Records/Zomba Label Group.

The Jordin Sparks Battlefield lyrics and music were written and produced by Ryan Tedder, frontman of OneRepublic and Grammy-nominated songwriter-producer and whose work with top music artists has produced a remarkable number of chart topping international hits, including the Timbaland/OneRepublic hit, ‘Apologize,’ and the Leona Lewis’ ‘Bleeding Love’ hit single.

Jordin Sparks debuted the new single in a live performance during season 8 of American Idol. The Jordin Sparks Battlefield video was directed by Phillip Andelman.

The highly anticipated album is a follow-up of her self-titled debut album, which was released in 2007 and certified platinum. Among the four hit singles the album produced were ‘Tattoo’ which reached No. 8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and ‘No Air’ which peaked at No. 3.

Regarding the title track and the album in general, Jordin Sparks revealed her intentions in a statement which read in part:

“To me, the title ‘Battlefield’ is about strength and perseverance. Things can go from good to bad in an instant - it could be family, friendship or work - and my favorite line in the song is, ‘You better go and get your armor,’ because it’s telling you to be prepared for that time so that you can overcome it.

“I think the range of songs and topics on the entire album are ultimately about strength in life, love and in staying true to yourself,”

Along with Honor Society, Jordin Sparks is a supporting act for the North American leg of the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 which kicks off on June 20, in Dallas, Texas.

2008 MTV Video Music Awards & American Music Awards

Sparks appeared at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards on September 7, 2008 where she was nominated for 2 VMAs for Best Female Video and Best New Artist. She is the second American Idol winner to have 2 or more nominations after the release of one album. The first being Kelly Clarkson with 3 nominations. Britney Spears for "Piece Of Me"[31] actually took home the award that night for Best Female Video, while Tokio Hotel beat out Sparks for the Best New Artist award with "Ready, Set, Go!".[31]

While at the same VMAs, Sparks caused controversy by responding to a joke made by host Russell Brand during his opening monologue, when he held up a silver ring, claiming to have relieved one of the Jonas Brothers of his virginity,[32] saying he would "take them more seriously if they wore it (the ring) around their genitals."[33] Sparks took umbrage, responding at the start of her introduction of rapper T.I.: “I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It’s not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody -- guy or girl -- wants to be a slut."[33] In response to controversy over her "slut" remark, she told Entertainment Weekly that she doesn't regret the remark, commenting that "I wish I would've worded it differently -- that somebody who doesn't wear a promise ring isn't necessarily a slut -- but I can't take it back now".[34] While presenting an award at the American Music Awards, she started by stating "I'm gonna stick to the script this time" in reference to VMA incident.

She has won a American Music Award for Favorite Artist in the Adult Contemporary Category. This was her first nomination at the American Music Awards.[35] Sparks has teamed up with Wet Seal to create her own clothing line. The collection, appropriately named 'Sparks', will begin with an assortment of holiday dresses delivering to stores just in time for the busy Thanksgiving weekend. The collection will later include casual apparel and accessories. Each piece will reflect Sparks's youthful and collected sense of style. The line is currently set to launch on November 19, 2008 and will come in sizes XS to XL.
