I love Jordin but SOS was going to flop no matter how much promotion it got.
I don't know if it was Jordin or someone on her team who was responsible for picking it as single #2, but it was a stupid, stupid decision.

They also need to figure out who her audience is. Kids? Adults? Girls? Blacks? What?

Jive really needs to get this act together. I hope this era can play out like her first. No, BETTER than the era. This is her third album, so I expect there to be progress since 2007.

At this point I'll take 3 top 10 hits and a top 10 album, just like "Jordin Sparks"... She may not reach platinum but I know she can push Gold if given the right single treatments and a timely release.

What's disappointing is that I truly believe that It Takes More, No Parade, Walking on Snow or Watch You Go would have been hits if they were released as the second single. Even The Cure, Emergency (911), Let it Rain or Don't Let it Go to Your Head would have probably done decently. As much as I like SOS, I don't know what Jive was thinking - it was not a good choice for a single - at least not for her SECOND single which is crucial.
Anyway, what's done is done and I really hope that Jordin can regain the momentum she lost with this era. It might not be easy but I think it's very possible.
(Also, I think Freeze would have been a much bigger hit than One Step at a Time)

SOS was HUGE mistake. it had flop written all over it. WNS or E911 would've smashed. Watch You Go and It Takes More Second Album >>>>>>>>>>>>

It Takes More should have been released second, and they should have promoted the sh*t out of it.

I guess the Jordin threads were merged. We can't start a new album thread until there is an official press release / news of a single / anything official.

We know what went wrong with last era, so let's not bother talk in circles. I'm just excited that she's releasing more music.

Jordin attended the Cumulus Radio XMAS Party. Before she performed It Takes More she announed that she just recorded the lead single for her next album!

Jordin tweeted that she has recorded 3 songs and hopes to have the album released early in 2011 and a single at the top of the year. So I'm guessing we'll have a single by January/February and an album by April/May.
Hopefully we'll have a press release or something official soon so that we can start a new thread for era #3.

Looking forward to hearing this :). I'm hopeing the lead single is a midtempo. I personally disliked Battlefield (the single) and feel like midtempos are her strong point.

I would love to see her single more reminiscent of Battlefield and less like Tattoo.

Battlefield was amazing. I would love to see her single to reminiscent of that and not like Tattoo. According to Jordin, the first single is already pretty much a lock. She recorded it a few days ago. I hope she gives us some info about it soon. Midtempo? Uptempo? I'm really anxious to hear ANY news at all (even the first two words of the song haha)

I feel like her best bet would be to do something with a dance influence but still retain an R&b influence. I think Darkchild would be a great fit for her to get involved with production wise.

Even though Battlefield and No Air are my favorite Jordin singles, I actually agree 100% with this. I think that would definitely be her best bet.

I agree, too. Whatever direction she decides to go (hopefully Pop/R&B), I'm really hoping her single is radio friendly and a big hit for her. I want her to have a successful era this time around.
