"No Air" is a bland pairing between American Idol Jordin Sparks and R&B singer Chris Brown. They're both good singers, but the song is dull and uninspired. It's got laughably inane lyrics like the whiny "How do you expect me to breath with no air?" With a respirator,I suppose? The chorus of "no air/no air/no air" calls for sake-soaked karaoke. It's blandly formulaic song. There's no passion in it. It's a song without respiration or inspiration.

Jordin Sparks is an amazing singer. She really has a unique quality and people like to listen to her songs. Hope she's able to come back. She truly is blessed with a beautiful voice...
 You have no idea how big an improvement she's made. March 24, 2008

And I don't think she's writing any of her material but that's OK for now. She just started out.
But my point with the title was that Tattoo was safe. So safe that it bored me. I think I thought it was "cute" the first time I heard it but I still haven't seen the video and I don't care. I don't think I'll ever care for that song EVER.
And that's fine with me.
But this single...I heard it a few times and was like "I like it. I really do."
It's much more...her. I think. Still don't "know" the girl! But it just seems a bit less predictable. Sure, this love thing is tried and true to death, but this song is catchier to me, the production a LOT nicer (like a floating, "this can't be real" kinda feel) and it shows more vocal power. I will say at the end though, Jordin literally shrieks a note and it's just too loud. That could've been left out but if you don't mind belting, then this song is good pop music.
The vibe, playful and youthful (the eldest, Chris is only 18 after all).
And even though some of you are sick to DEATH of him (me excluded), Chris does a good vocal job here too. After hearing the SMASH, "With You" and a few of his older tracks, I can tell that even though they had no hand in the writing of this track, that at least Chris feels his part. Surely, Jordin does too.
I wish her luck in the future although I heard her album wasn't that great. Guess I didn't miss much!
3.9 stars (compared to the measly 2.25 i awarded the first single, Tattoo).
End note: I like Jordin. She's a sweety, got's a good set of pipes and she's damn pretty. However, I did have many gripes with her actually winning because although she was more marketable than Melinda (who got ROBBED!!!!!!), she didn't have the pipes like her nor quite like Lakisha.
It was sad.
But she won. It's over. Great voice. Hope to see her co-write 2 songs (at least) next go round and I wish her happiness. No surprises here.

Wow I gotta say I love this song! Jordin Sparks really shows off that she can sing...and Chris Brown in it as well? I love Chris Brown's singing...this was a perfectly matched duet.
