The song kind of reminds me of "Umbrella" - does any one else get this? I kind of get this impression from the production and some of the phrasing. Her singing "Battlefield...battlefield...battlefield" reminds me of the repetition in the "Umbrella." They both sound pretty epic, especially in the chorus.
I quite like it. It will be interesting to see what size hit this will be - if it's a hit at all.

This song is too big for her. She sounds country as hell on this song too. She's trying too hard, she's like straining. Poor baby...
.... Even if you are a million miles away, I can still feel you in my bed, near me, touch me, feel me and even at the bottom of the sea, I can still hear you inside my head, telling me, touch me, feel me, and all the time you were telling me lies

This song is moving very nicely up the pop airplay charts. Looks like it's gonna be a hit.

Really? I don't hear any country at all in this song.

I didn't like this track too much when I first heard it. But now I can't get enough. My fave part is "better go and get your armor". Loves it. However, I do agree that she does sound like she's straing a bit especially during the chorus. Still I think she did a good job, even if I prefer the Ryan Tedder demo.

From someone who is country him damn self, I can hear it. I always said she should be a country singer because she sounds country to me (more than Carrie Underwood, imo)

It was exploding into the top 40 in airplay but it looks like it's slowing. It's time for her to get out there and start singing it.

From that preview, it sounds like the songs are in a terrible order. The first 10 tracks start to sound very similar after a while, and then you stick the 3 ballads on the end? They should have been broken up. And why are "Tattoo" and "One Step At A Time" on here?

The link was for UK Amazon.
I don't think her debut album was ever released in the United Kingdom. This is her first international release. That's why I think they included those two songs. But if that's the case they're stupid to not include "No Air" since it was a bigger hit than "Tattoo" and "One Step At A TIme".

Ok, I don't know what to think after listening to the album preview. I can't fully judge the songs based on small clips. There's too many ballads and midtempos on this album. I wanted more uptempo tracks from her this time around.
