I'm very happy about Demi, I don't know but I do not think of her as a Disney star, and her album is good.

About Jordin, the album has a target problem + the dissapointing single performance, is a lil too boring and not interesting for teenagers and she's just not mature enough to be accepted by AC listeneres, she's stuck somewhere in the middle. She better solve this now, and 'S.O.S' sucks.

45k is very good for an album that isn't generic. Well done Jordin

Hope that thing in ur avatar comes up with an even less generic.

[fridayteenage]

Not generic? Let's see what reviewers say, who are not stans or haters for either artist:

Jordin: pure radio-ready product. not enough to give her some kind of identity. doesn't distinguish herself. half-baked. 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.

Lovato: has chops and spunk. fun. 16-year-old shows refreshing versatility. quiet surprises. Lovato sings with more yearning than Jewel and better phrasing to boot. a natural talent who could really take flight after outgrowing Disney.

Who gives a **** what the critics say. It only matters what the people have to say and that's it.

Please. Battlefield is not a "radio-ready" product. The music is not very accessible for mainstream North America. The vocals and melodies are on a much higher level than what most simpletons are capable of processing. The past 10 years mainstream radio has degenerated into the musical equivalent of a Happy Meal. Short term, unsubstantiated satisfaction.

Then you have Battlefield, which is full of different flavors and has been carefully and creatively prepared by some of the most talented visionaries in music, of which Jordin herself is the most important one. She reinvented several different genres with this album and has developed a sound that is uniquely hers and is also universally appealing to sophisticated listeners.

Unfortunately, that target demographic of sophisticated listeners is dwindling more and more, and she has definitely not reached them by going on tour with the Jonas Brothers. When Jonas Brothers fans hear an ingenious song like Battlefield, it is like presenting a beautiful mathematical formula to a toddler. Undeveloped minds will be unable to appreciate it.

In the end the dumbing down of America has led to sales that are disappointing considering her place in pop music but expected considering the artistic quality of her product.

I dont really trust what the critics are saying. They always give 4-5 stars to those boring albums.

It's flopping, deal wit it.
And no, she ain't got longevity.
Battlefield doesn't have a song that so gud as No Air to save it.

Exactly. Besides, fridayteenage only posted what ONE critic had to say. Come on, not every single critic has the exact same thinking.

[fridayteenage]

Actually, no. I took snippets from various reviews.

Billboard, LA Times, All Music Guide, Rolling Stone, Boston Globe.

Don't assUme.

Please, bitch, you think Aly & AJ's albums are amazing because the critics gave them 1/5 stars You go against the flow. You are pathetic.

Kworb.

There's nothing remotely "unique" or "sophisticated" about squealing the same word repeatedly, using every tired lyrical cliché in the book, and relying on the same one-trick producer as everyone else. I'm surprised a person as literate as you could actually appreciate music so tedious.

Dont blame on us. We simply think it is an generic album and downloading is good enough. Nothing really special abt that album, like a mediocre song played over and over. And yes, Battlefield is the best track and that's it.
