That was a disaster.

They spent all that time making this bullshit?

I could’ve made this in my backyard in like 3 hours.

a video can make or break a song. The song gave the video so much potential to be great, but now she’s just rolling around in the grass ala Mariah Carey “Dreamlover” style. DISSAPOINTMENT.

It wasn’t even bad! No, it wasn’t incredible but i was still impressed. Sometimes a video with too many things going on takes away from the song. The song itself is amazing and all it needed was a simple music video. She also looks fierce!

It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t so great neither. I expected a big budget video for such a big song that this will be. But I guess…

Yall some haters, not only was the video great, but the song is too. She is shitting on the industry, respect her for what she is accomplishing!

at first i was like ….what is this shit..?

but you have to think: it’s like the best concept because yeah she could’ve done something a bit more literal or some lame ass modern clip with a love interest and their “love battle”.

But this video brought it to the basics.. a battlefield. it got dramatic, which is what the song needed.

one thing for me is, it needed way more energy. and it took so long for it to get started..

I thought this song was whack the minute I heard it and this video supports my theory.

Stop the hate please! Just because Jordin is not marching around in a leotard with a split personaity, does not mean that 1.) her music is not on point, and 2.) that the video is not interesting. I agree with some of the other posts in the observation that the video is not the best video of the year, but it is definitely a good video, for a good song, for an incredible talent, with an incredible voice. Great job Jordin!!!

i think the video is great cause they could have gone with the big cheesy theatrical a la beyonce style video, which would have ruined the song or they could have gone with a simple underwhelming video which focuses on the song more rather than bombarding our eyes with non relevant images.

guess which one they went with? i think this helps the song cause it would have been too much cause the song is so big. i love the juxtaposition of the simple video with the larger than life song.

take the video as you will, everyone has an opinion and i respect it.

@incognegro

Jordin sparks is just a average talent her debut dident even go platinum!
960,000

She stole american idol
From melinda doolittle

The only reason she still relevant is from no air

Which was helped by chris brown!

So dnt put other artist down who accomplish so much

And if dancing in the leotard is a dum concept shit was number 1 for weeks and inspired dance pariodys over youtube so get outta here!

The video is great cause u can feel the meaning of the song with her expressions; Such a beautiful lady, beautiful face, very good vocal performance on it. The video is quite simple and match the song, wich is the most important. Plus, she s very class with this classic style. Tired of punk glam rock vampire style like every singers wich starting to sucks. Great job
