Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown - No Air

[Independent]

Don't like it, had it on my comp' for ages.

[Finkelstien]

It may be old but I still think its a wonderful tune.

[N-Dubz]

well clearly she did, otherwise they wouldn't have set her up with him.
she didn't work with him for the musical side as her label basically manage EVERYTHING she records.

they didnt just set her up with chris brown for the musical side - they know he sells bucket loads of albums.

and yeah the first single did do reasonably well but who's to say she'll have ANY success with the 2nd? one hit wonder is a possibility especially if the 2nd song is crap, after that no one would be likely to give her another chance considering she's a new artist.

Tattoo and No Air are her 'hits', theres no saying she will make it big but she has a beautiful voice. Your right that Chris Brown was probably brought in her song because he sells loads of albums, well hes only ever had 2.. :rolleyes: and they know Chris Brown is a black, rising rnb artist and has loads of fans but this dosnt also mean that he didnt decide to sing the song because he generally liked it, he could have turnt it down easy.
An I'm upset, how come artist's on X factor can't sing with these rnb greats, instead we get put with Westlife and Kylie minogue.

well tbh we're lucky that x-factor winners havn't been teamed up with indy crap like pidgeon detectives

imagine that

LEONA LEWIS & PIDGEON DETECTIVES looooooooooool cringe.

the song is old, but i still love it.

jordin can do quite well without chris brown.

[Eamonn]

jordin can do quite well without chris brown.

Exactly :S I don't know why anyone needs to doubt that. Cus seriously a big star doesn't even guarentee a hit, if your crap you gonna flop no matter what. E.g. Nicole from PCD, had Timbaland and Keri Hilson on a record and this is Timbaland who is bigger than Chris Brown :rolleyes: and it still flopped.

[stickwitu]

it flopped because they did no promotion, he can't exactly travel around with them when both keri and nicole are recording on other projects.. with way I are they did promo and that did well (eg. fashion rocks performances, several US award shows) and US radio didnt exactly jump on board when it's not really THAT mainstream and due to all the moaning lol..

and i didn't say she'd neccesarily fail without chris brown - but he's there to GUARANTEE a hit.
radios in the US LOVE chris brown and considering their charts are made up of sales and airplay adding him on a track would get both.

so do radios in the UK

but yeah okay hes not really a guarantee hit, not all of his songs have done amazingly.

[Eamonn]

there weren't much promo for 'No Air' either if I am to be correct, the only main promo was AI and it was already top ten then :S Radio in the US love Timbaland aswell :S because didn't he and One Republic hold the record for most spins on pop radio (which has now been beaten). Seriously you obv. don't like this artist but to say she needs Chris Brown to get a hit is **

[stickwitu]

I do actually like her, so stop making assumptions, but it is clear to anyone that Chris Brown would only be placed on this track to continue to catch the public's attention.

Her label (who control everything) want the safest options to make the album and single sell, and as the main fans of Jordin are likely to be of the same age as Chris Brown's, it makes sense to get Chris Brown on a track, especially as he gets HUGE radio airplay. Isn't that blatently obvious to you? :S

They wouldn't stick a nobody with her, they want an artist with a huge fanbase to feature to pick up that artist's fans as well.
