I really like "Christmastime To Me" from The Best Man Holiday soundtrack. It has that Phil Spector Christmas sound. It also has that slow start before kicking into an uptempo like "All I Want For Christmas Is You".

The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete added another $84,268 this past weekend, bringing its box office total to $441,073! Let's hope the film can pass the $500,000 or $1 million marks, which would be good for an independent film like this!

Jordin tweeted this new song . a nice 90's type R&B slow jam . not sure if it is going to be released or just something for her fans to hear. really good. edit she said it was free so just something for the fans.

Produced by Salaam Remi. The production is hot. It definitely seems like she's going in an R&B direction this time around.

I think "11:11" is my favorite Jordin recording to date! She sounds absolutely incredible!

Q&A: Jordin Sparks and Tatyana Ali Talk Holiday TraditionsBy njules FRI., NOV. 22, 2013 ,3:21 PM EST We caught up with Jordin Sparks and Tatyana Ali, stars of the all-new Lifetime holiday movie, “Dear Secret Santa.” Read all about their holiday traditions in this exclusive Q&A and watch them in the world premiere of “Dear Secret Santa” on November 30 at 8.7c. What is your favorite holiday tradition?Jordin Sparks: When I was little we used to go throughout my Nana & Papas neighborhood and sing carols in the back of their convertible with the top down. Not door to door but blasting the music and singing loud for all to hear! Tatyana Ali: My mom still gets my sisters and me matching pajamas, which was completely embarrassing when I was little. But now, if a year went by and she didn’t get us new PJs, we’d all be really upset. My sister recently got married, and her husband gets matching PJs as well. The holidays aren't complete without...TA: A tree! JS: My mom’s sweet potato casserole! What's your favorite holiday song?TA: "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause" by The Jackson 5 and "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole JS: I love "The Christmas Song" and all of Mariah Carey's Christmas music. What holiday dish does your family make every year? JS: My Nana makes a honey baked ham and amazing soup. My mom makes turkey legs and collard greens and of course we have an amazing selection of sweets. Caramel corn, fudge, almond roca, wedding cake cookies, pies…mmmm! TA: My dad is from Trinidad, so every year for breakfast my dad makes salt fish and bakes (kind of like a biscuit), with tomatoes and perfectly ripe avocados. It’s my favorite. What's your fondest childhood holiday memory?JS: Putting the angel on the top of the tree. I felt extra special getting to put her up there. TA: I loved Christmas in New York...there’s just nothing like it. L.A. has become my home, but lights on palm trees still seem a bit odd to me. Are you on the naughty or nice list this year? JS: Won't everyone say the nice list? ;) TA: Nice, I hope! What is the worst gift you've ever given/received? JS: During a white elephant gift exchange I got stove top burners. No stove…just the burners. Hahaha! TA: When I moved into my own place my parents got me kitchen utensils for Christmas. It was a great gift in retrospect, very useful, and they were actually quite nice, but at the time it was a tiny bit lackluster. What is your holiday wish this year? JS: I just want everyone to have a good time together and cherish it. TA: That every wish of the people I love comes true.

I don't know if these are older tracks and I missed them before or if they're for the upcoming album but there's two new tracks that I never heard before. They have them up at Leaked Early if anybody's interested.

Her version of Mirror is awful. It sounds like one of those random karaoke covers they do of popular songs that's completely devoid of emotion.

Who is picking her material? She either needs to fire somebody or, if she is doing it herself, hire somebody.

Yeah, I agree, Mirror is not Jordin. The singer has a mildly similar tone but her voice isn't nearly as strong as Jordin's. The other song on Leaked Early (Human) is Jordin though...I'm a bit 'eh' on that one. Message songs just don't do much for me most of the time.

So I'm totally having Jordin withdrawal! Where is this gurl!?
I've been bopping to her debut & Battlefield for the past two days!
Walking On Snow, It Takes More, Watch You Go, No Parade, Permanent Monday, Next To You, Freeze, Let It Rain were all gems!

But she does make a point of stressing the good things they’ve done to promote her career. “They’ve done so many amazing things for me,” says Jordin. “I don’t want this to come off like I hate them, cause I don’t!” That's polite of her but she's blowing almost as much smoke here as RCA has, considering that the last time she actually released any music of her own (not counting outside projects) she was not even on RCA. The most frustrating part about this is that she either has to chance her material being stale, or she needs to be periodically scraping things to work on something new - and if she goes back in the studio to do more work then the label can again argue that as a reason to delay her release again ("but you weren't ready!") and put her off more, which of course causes her to go find another movie b/c she has to work somehow, and then the movie leads to another delay excuse, and...blah. Like, it really should not even be this hard. They could have easily slotted her into the end of 2014 and I bet she would have a release-worthy album ready by then. I am thinking that the best thing for her to do now would be to get with a producer (like Avicii or Calvin Harris, except probably not them b/c it will be a while before their next projects) and release a song that way. It would at least reintroduce her to radio and (hopefully) warm stations up for her own eventual release later. Or she could try her hand at songwriting again. "The Way" was an unexpected source of success for her there, not sure how much she contributed but why not get in on some sessions with other writers and go for it.

So I'm totally having Jordin withdrawal! Where is this gurl!? I think she's just been on the road with Jason Derulo as of late. Her most recent projects from 2013 are all available now to view/purchase: "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete" (out on DVD today!) "Dear Secret Santa" (available to view on Lifetime) "Christmastime to Me" (from the "Best Man Holiday" soundtrack) "Everybody" (with Doug E. Fresh, Dr. Oz, the Hip Hop Doc) (from Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" compilation) "Is This Love?" (with Alex Gaudino) (available on his "Doctor Love" album & as a digital single)

So I'm totally having Jordin withdrawal! Where is this gurl!? It kind of amazes me what they've done to her. I mean, I know Battlefield didn't sell great--although on one hit single, maybe not as bad as it seems?--but it's almost like they've locked her away without a key. I was worried at the time that they might drop her, but this almost seems worse... It is a real shame Battlefield didn't do better; it's a great album. I really miss hearing her voice.

I've been really listening to Freeze from her debut lately. Even to this day that song still sounds like a smash waiting to happen. So tragic it never saw release.
