Sweet. I hope its good and he surprises us. I could see him doing Justin Bieber esque material. Except better since David's voice is 1000x greater.

I guess I wouldn't mind Bieber esque material but I'd hope it'd be a bit more mature.

Oh I think it will be. I just meant like production wise. We all know David likes those kinds of songs anyways. I'm mainly thinking of uptempos though.
However, I could also see him doing some OneRepublic esque stuff.

Yeah there are a lot of different ways he can go which is why this single will be interesting. I think production-wise a Bieber-like song could work on him except obviously he'd do it much better. But yeah I think the stuff would be lyrically much better than anything Bieber has crapped out. I would also like OneRepublic type stuff too. I think, however, his voice is most suited for soulful/R&B pop.

I agree, but I also think he did "Apologize" really well. I could also see him nailing a song like "Secrets" as well.

Yeah he could really nail the OneRepublic type stuff. There's really so much he could do. lol. I wanna know who produced this song, that'll give us a hint as to what style it'll be.

The title is (supposedly) Something Bout Love. I don't know if it's confirmed or not though.

Jive is still waiting on getting the one paper they use for press releases back from recycling after the Crystal Bowersox announcement so they can release the name of the single officially.

I think, however, his voice is most suited for soulful/R&B pop.This. While I enjoy the One Republic/Fray/Five For Fighting-type songs he covers, I think the R&B-sounding songs sound 1000 times better with the soulful tone and style of his voice. I really hope they focus the majority of the songs on the album in this direction.

While I do hope they focus more on a soulful direction, I don't want them to do it too much. Labels have a tendency of going overboard sometimes. I don't want a record of 12 tracks where 8 sound identical and the majority are generic. I do want him to do more soulful/R&B stuff, but I would like some other things to kind of balance it out. Also, there is a thing as soulful rock too.

Yeah, a variety would be nice. And soulful rock would be cool too.

what ever is released i bet it will have a great debut on the hot 100 at least top 40, this song will be bought on itunes a lot first week I think Sony/Jive is trying to grab some cash from the hardcore fans by selling it on his official site first (on July 13th). That's what the Jive announcements sound like to me, and Jive *just* set up his "official music store" to buy CDs and mp3s. I don't think that's a coincidence. Jive makes more money selling it themselves than they would if they sold it on iTunes. So they grab the hardcore fan *zomg must have it* sales so iTunes doesn't get them. Then the song goes to iTunes on July 20th, the next week. That means no iTunes ad because iTunes doesn't like to promote singles that they didn't get first. Also means they're not repressing the single for maximum first week sales. If you think about it, if an artist has a known teenage/young adult fan base, it's probably better not to repress sales since illegal downloads are so prevalent in that group. Crush sold really well, but Jive may know it could have sold better if ripped copies weren't circulating everywhere for the 3-4 weeks or so that it was repressed. In other words - I'm not expecting big first week sales. Unless they send it to radio right now (which they aren't) it's not gonna have any radio airplay when it goes for sale, and it won't have an iTunes ad. This song is gonna have to rely on airplay rise to get sales gains.

David has some hardcore fans. In reality, they could get it from his official site and then buy it again from itunes the following week. Its not like itunes would know. lol

Yeah, and I think some will do exactly that. I think it's gonna be the lack of an iTunes ad, more than anything, that will keep it from selling huge numbers. If people don't know it's out (casual fans), they won't buy it.

^Well, hopefully the official site (which is run by Jive/Sony) will report the first week sales to SoundScan. I doubt the numbers will be *huge* but should be okay.
Sales the following week on iTunes will probably be similar -- decent but not huge. Then I would expect a pretty big drop off in sales until airplay builds up enough to generate sales to casual fans and new fans -- of course, we can't assume radio will support it, but I'm thinking radio play will be necessary to generate *huge* sales.
