Battlefield

Video Intro (Why I Chose This Song):
I chose this song because I love the vocals in it. It was really hard choosing a song this week, because I couldn't a good cover. There are many good songs on the list, but finding one that was in my range was kinda hard. I hope you enjoy the performance, because after I saw the video, I knew that this was the song I had to sing this week! Thanks!


Lyrics:
Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute it's love
And suddenly it's like a battle-field

One word turns into a
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you don't
I'm not here without a shield
Can't go back now

Both hands tied behind my back with nothing
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield? (x2)
Why does love always feel like..

Can't swallow our pride,
Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mhmm
If we can't surrender then we both gonna lose what we had, oh no

Both hands tied behind my back with nothing
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again
I don't wanna fall for it now
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield? (x2)

I guess you better go and get your armor, (get your armor) get your armor
I guess you better go and get your armor, (get your armor) get your armor
I guess you better go and get your...

We could pretend that we are friends tonight (oh-oh-oh)
And in the morning we'll wake up and we'll be alright
Cause baby we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like..

A battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield,
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield

I guess you better go and get your armor...

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for (fighting, fighting for)

Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield? (x2)

I guess you better go and get your armor, (get your armor) get your armor
I guess you better go and get your armor, (get your armor) get your armor

Why does love always feel like...
Why does love always feel like...
A battlefield, a battlefield..

I never meant
to start a war
Don't even know
What we're fighting for

I never meant
to start a war
Don't even know
What we're fighting for

You did great this time around! The song fit with your vocals and the song is just right for your genre of music. I hope that you make it through this elimination.

[Paula Abdul]

I LOVE YOU ALWAYS

another great week


loved that song

[Jason Mraz]

I didn't expect you to sing this song. I was a little bit worried when I found out that you will do a Jordin Sparks song. But after that performance, I'm speechless... You really did great on that performance and it really fit your voice.

[Randy Jackson]

Elliot Yamin!

Alright alright! Jordan Sparks and Elliot Yamin are not two names that I normally put together like peas and carrots - because she is so pop friendly and you have so much more soul.

But that version of Battlefield that you managed to dig up was Spot On Elliot Awesome! I mean, I am dumbfounded to the point that if I didn't know better, I would have never thought that was a Jordan Sparks.

You made it yours .. and knocked The Dawg's socks off!
