Don't try to explain your mind I know what's happening here One minute it's love And suddenly it's like a battlefield One word turns into a war Why... | See the rest of the song lyrics |

Battlefield actually contains enough ?potential hits to keep the singer in heavy rotation until well into Idol's 10th season.
-
Battlefield, her expertly constructed second album, upholds a darker, more experienced tone without losing an ounce of melodrama.
-
Lyrical themes get a bit murkier on her appropriately titled sophomore effort, Battlefield.
-
Britney Spears, Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, Beyonce and Leanne Rimes are all artists Sparks' music evokes, but very little of it could be said to be distinctly hers.
-
Because the sound is of paramount importance, this does succeed as pure radio-ready product, which is enough for Sparks to sustain her momentum if not enough to give her some kind of identity to build a career upon.
-
Sparks emotes about bad love amid beats that mix snazzy electro with stadium-rock bigness. She also comes off like a scrubbed-up deep feeler who doesn't distinguish herself.
-
Safe is only good in baseball, but in pop music it can be numbing, and such dull tunes like 'No Parade' or 'Let It Rain' find the singer trying to inject some life into music even she must realize is D.O.A.
