Love is a Battlefield


is it just me who thinks that jordan sparks' new song is a total rip off of pat benartar's Love is a Battlefield?? it could be just me since this is my biggest pet-peeve when it comes to music. so i did some research and found this totally hilarious article.

by Jeremy Medina.
Sparks' new song is the Ryan Tedder-penned mid-tempo jam "Battlefield," off her sophomore album, which is due July 14. "Battlefield" definitely sounds familiar (and not just because of the Pat Benatar connection), but on the scale of barf-tastic ("One Step At a Time") to the hey-I-kinda-like-it ("No Air"), the tune comfortably falls in the middle. To quote the most eloquent Idol judge: For me, it was just alright. For me. But how about for you? And I could just have bad hearing, but I seriously thought Sparks was saying "bitch-er-ama" at the end. But then I realized a) that doesn't even make sense, b) the squeaky-clean daughter of Phillipe would never say such things, and c) she's actually saying "get your armor." My bad. Share your thoughts, Mixers: What do you think of Sparks' new song?
