has anyone heard of this girl before? and where has she come from?
im liking her new video, its been doing the rounds on mtv, the box etc.
its kind of a pop-dance-r&b tune.

Heard this the other day, good song!

the track samples 'brazil' by deadmau5, i recognise it because there's a kylie demo doing the rounds featuring the same sample

First time I'd heard it, it's good, definitely a grower. Reckon the song should do well.

She was a contestant on america's got talent season 1 and was eliminated at the semi finals, and later on got signed by jay z's label roc nation.

The song is a grower for me but i do think she has a great a voice and i do like the cover versions she's put up on youtube.

I've had this song for a while now. I do like it but I feel like it's missing something but I don't know what.

Been listening to this on 4music quite few times, it's really growing on me! It's a nice, summery catchy pop-dance/r&b song....shes been compared to Rihanna unlike her this girl can sing!!....xx

Shocking decision by deadmau5 to allow one of him better tunes to be abused like this.

Heard she was being managed by Jay Z.
Really like this song, looking forward to the next song she can deliver to see if she's really all that, she looks like a young Beyonce in the video.

I saw it on MTV Hits earlier and was quite annoyed by the fact it's just her singing over a Deadmau5 track... but it's definitely a grower and I've had it on repeat this evening. Hope she does well, she has a lovely voice

I love her voice, and as a popstar, she seems pretty perfected and ticks all the boxes. However I don't like the song.

I really like this song, I dunno why people are getting annoyed about the whole deadmau5 thing, it's just more publicity for him/her/them (?) because I had never heard of deadmau5 until looking up this song.

...The hook is also very melodic and has a Ciara-like quality to it which is highly endearing, whilst keeping its own sound. This is no Ciara cover by any means, although obvious comparisons can and will be made between the pair. The chorus is likeable and innocent, with Jordan skipping through lines such as 'through strength I found love..." etc...

For the whole review, search icespicevice on blogger.com

Wow cannot believe it but the song is #2 on the midweek charts behind Rihanna!

This song is my current guilty pleasure, I'm pleased its doing well, I didn't realise it was that well known because I hardly see it anywhere!!!
