	Lindagt	Jeez Josh - pick one and it'll be great! LOL! I would say go Urban or Country/Soul - I love the NeYo like songs and I loved hearing you with Broussard!   Posted by Lindagt on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:45 AM [Reply to this]

	Linda	Country/Soul!! because you do that so well...... :) (Good luck on your own solo tour!!!!)   Posted by Linda on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:45 AM [Reply to this]

	Tiffy LeShea Tiffy Gann	First of all, this is way overdue, but... YOU KICKED ASS ON THE EARLY SHOW! I am so proud of you, babe. As far as the next album goes, I'm good with anything 'cause you can do no wrong. Well, musically at least. LOL But I'm pretty partial to Country/Soul since "Take It Or Leave It" is my favorite song. But I love the Throwback'ish idea as well 'cause I'm a big Duffy and Adele fan. Anyway... see you soon! Love ya, bitch. ~Tiffy   Posted by Tiffy LeShea on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:45 AM [Reply to this]

	IT'S VICKI Vicki Torres	country soul is YOU!!!!! all your music sounds great - so just keep doin what your doin...makin terrific music   Posted by IT'S VICKI on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:38 PM [Reply to this]

	squince Sarah Q	all of the above! :)   Posted by squince on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:38 PM [Reply to this]

	Priscilla	Man, this is hard. I honestly cannot pick one. I mean Josh, you could pull off any of these styles. I mean hey, why can't you just make an album that's a mixture of all four? But shoot, if I had to pick one, I would pick "Urban/Track." And, the only reason I picked that one is because growing up, that's what I listened to. But like I said, you could def do some of each on an album. But anywayz, see you in a few days buddy. And get ready, 'cause the Puerto Ricans are taking over the Tin Angel. Oh smack. LOL!! HaHa!! :0)   Posted by Priscilla on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:38 PM [Reply to this]

	*Twisted MacSista*	You could do any of the above & I will buy & listen to it! You are amazing....i'm so addicted to 'Everything She Was'. I like when you mix it up...put a little of everything in there. It's allllllll good! Keep it up & I will see you April 25th in Portland, OR...can't wait! You Rock! ~Tracy~   Posted by *Twisted MacSista* on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:38 PM [Reply to this]

	Hmacc	I love all of those kinds of music so do a little of everything. I love it when an artist is versatile. The best albums are when you're not listening to the same song 10 times. I think you would sound fantastic with any of those choices. My vote is something of everything. Variety is the spice of life! I <3 you! P.S. Can't wait to see you next month in Portland, OR! :)   Posted by Hmacc on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Just Joe Joe Hendrickson	Ya know what? You gave us four choices of genres and you want 3-4 songs. Write a couple of each genre and then pick the best of each. Then you can have one of each genre. That'll equal to more outlets to market to and hopefully lead to more sales/exposure. Make Blackledge work those segmentation skills! See you in Evanston!   Posted by Just Joe on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Michelle Danielle Michelle Mitchell	Country/Soul (I would say like down south/gritty "Take It Or Leave It" style album that is more country roots based). Throwback'ish (you know like James Morrison or say Duffy. With the kinda vintage feeling vibe. These would be awesome...just a thought   Posted by Michelle Danielle on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Misty Dawn Misty Dawn	I think a little mix of them all would be awesome.. But i am lovin the style u have going now, You could TOTALY pull off the J. T/Ne-Yo stuff too and it would be great! Hell I would buy anything you put out so its all good with me! LOL See ya soon! Have a blast on Tour!   Posted by Misty Dawn on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Selena	What about a combination of 2 and 4, with a splash of 1? A bit throwback'ish with an urban/soul feel? Get the vintage groove with a little Johnny Gill finesse. Anyway you slice it though, I'm sure you'll tear up the tracks. It's a joy listening to your music and a kick to see you in concert. Have fun on the tour!   Posted by Selena on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Carol's Gone Hoge-Wild	OK Josh... I'm voting for down south/gritty as my first choice 'cuz you do it soooo well! ... and "Throwback'ish" ala JHoge sounds intriguing also. (But you know I'll buy a ton of anything you record 'cuz you're just amazing..... I'm still paying off my credit card bills from ESW! Oh, and I'm thinking that the name of this album should be: "Cheers, JHoge" (original, huh?) Also looking forward to the Christmas CD! Love ya! Can't wait for the upcoming shows!   Posted by Carol's Gone Hoge-Wild on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Jess Jessica Baker	Hi Josh, I saw you in Portland awhile back with Marc Broussard and am moving to LA soon so will hopefully be seeing you at that show as well. I definitely think you should focus on Throwback'ish, with an urban feel as well. You have an amazing voice, so I like to hear you belt it out, but I think that vintage feel fits you well. Good luck, hopefully I will be seeing you in LA. Take care.   Posted by Jess on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Kelly Kelly McCarthy	No matter what you do it is going to be good. Can't wait to hear the Christmas stuff! You are an awesome singer! Can't wait to see you in San Fran!   Posted by Kelly on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:40 PM [Reply to this]

	♥~♥ Nikki ♥~♥	Okay, I'm new to your music...just found ya a week or so ago but after listening through most of your songs I have to say Take it or Leave it is one of my favorites. I think its a good rockish country and you sound great on it! So I'd go with the country/soul option. Hoping to catch you on your March 31st stop at the Southgate house. ...btw, its listed wrong your page. Southgate house is in Newport, Kentucky not Covington :)   Posted by ♥~♥ Nikki ♥~♥ on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Kelly Kelly McCarthy	Don't care! You are awesome no matter what you do! Love your music! Can't wait to see you in San Fran!   Posted by Kelly on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:41 PM [Reply to this]

	christina * maria™	i'd say a little bit of everything. you can do it all. :)   Posted by christina * maria™ on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Daryl	1. Pop/R&B/urban would be awesome   Posted by Daryl on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Michael	I have to say that Everything She Was is one of my favorite albums! Such good music man!! Try not to change it up too much and stay away from the Ne-yo/Timberlake style. Also, where can we get a copy of the Hall and Oates cover? Sounds great! Maybe you should do like Broussard and throw an album full of soulful covers in between.   Posted by Michael on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Veronica	I agree with Music City Mel, go for the country/soul with blues thrown in just because it'd sound amazing.   Posted by Veronica on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Joyscandalous	hmm lovin the country/soul but not tooo country :) youll sound great either way and ill be listening either way!   Posted by Joyscandalous on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Mandy♥Watching Waiting 4 Todd Carey♥	Country Soul fer sure and work that body should be on the next one i heart that song so creepy but amazing!   Posted by Mandy♥Watching Waiting 4 Todd Carey♥ on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Annette Annette Smith	I love the dirty gritty sound, but it's not as easy to sell. Look at Marc Broussard...dude's got mad skills but it's not what the kids wanna hear right now! (unless those kids are us of course). Track driven music gets lodged in your brain and drives ppl to buy the album out of neccessity but is easily forgotten. Pop will come and go but my vote is for Throwback. Smooth, sexy, gritty and poppy all together LOL (can you tell I'm indecisive?) Do what makes your fine ass happy and get to it soon! Annette   Posted by Annette on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:42 PM [Reply to this]

	Rosa	Well... first and foremost I firmly believe you should cover "Christmas time is Here" from the Charlie Brown movie for your holiday album...I'm just saying... Secondly, you make my heart swoon when you sing do the R&B/Pop songs. Slow ones please and thank you. I'm also a huge fan of "throwback'ish". "Keeps Getting Better" gave me a classic, smooth-vibe, like buttah. Whatever it is you do just make it you.   Posted by Rosa on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:42 PM [Reply to this]

	Lil Kim	Your voice is amazing, so anything you pick should be great! It would be cool to do a random mix of all 4 options, but I'm not sure if you could do that. :o) I saw you open for Marc B. in Charlotte in December, and while I can't make it to Charlotte on Friday, I will DEFINITELY be in Chapel Hill on Sunday. I'm bringing at least one friend and can't freaking wait!! Woohoo!   Posted by Lil Kim on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:43 PM [Reply to this]

	♥Ashley♥ Ashley Le Master	country/soul with a little r&b! But anything you pick will be great! Your awesome!!   Posted by ♥Ashley♥ on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:43 PM [Reply to this]

	Cynthia Cynthia Rogers	I never thought of James Morrison as a throw-back...but I love his sound. I actually liked his first cd better then his last one, but "Precious Love" on this last cd is great. Adele is beyond amazing. I haven't gotten your latest cd yet (I'll be picking that up in Evanston) but my favorite cuts on Bedroom Sessions are "Leave" and "Goodbye Again". Now that I think about it, they do have kind of a James Morrison feel to them. (Any chance they might make the Evanston set list? hint hint) So I guess my preference is #4, but you do have the talent to do it all. Make yourself happy.   Posted by Cynthia on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:43 PM [Reply to this]

	SARAH. Sarah McTamney	Just do you Josh, whatever comes out.   Posted by SARAH. on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:43 PM [Reply to this]

	*~MEG~* Meghan Lovelace	I love all of your songs and I think you're amazing at any of those styles! Why not mix it up a little and incorporate everything? But if you have to pick just one...I love the country/soul sound! I can't wait until your Knoxville show! =D   Posted by *~MEG~* on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:43 PM [Reply to this]

	Heather Heather Berg	I'm gonna go Country/Soul is really suits your intense voice well. Songs like Take it or Leave It, and Space are so uniquely you! I think your voice is too strong for light pop songs. I just get this dirty country soul vibe from you.   Posted by Heather on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:44 PM [Reply to this]

	S.a.r.a	Most def Country/Soul. Take It or Leave It is my favorite song!!!   Posted by S.a.r.a on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:44 PM [Reply to this]

	ShortRound	Take it Or Leave It is my favorite song as well...I think it's a toss up between country/soul and the vintage vibe...   Posted by ShortRound on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:44 PM [Reply to this]

	Heather heather mcfarland	whatever works ..but i like the country/soul idea...that is what caught my ear the first time i heard you sing..take it or leave it!   Posted by Heather on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:44 PM [Reply to this]

	Tracy;) Request Chuck's song Man Of The House.	Well i believe that any album you make will be great.I think i would love to see a Country/Soul album from you.I get to see you march 30th in minneapolis can't wait Josh........   Posted by Tracy;) Request Chuck's song Man Of The House. on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:44 PM [Reply to this]

	Ashley Smith♥ Ashley Bood-Smith	I think pop/R&B with a little bit of country! Gotta satisfy us country gals too! =] Good luck on your tour! We'll probably be seeing u in Seattle!! <3   Posted by Ashley Smith♥ on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 1:44 PM [Reply to this]

	***Katryna***	Country/Soul is the one that caught my eye. I think you could pull it off. I would love to hear a bunch of songs that had a country/soul feel :) You could pull off any one that you mentioned.   Posted by ***Katryna*** on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 4:26 PM [Reply to this]

	April	I think you should do like you always do and create a melting pot of all the above options include tracks that showcase all of your many talents !:) (Prolly not the answer you were looking for). But when all else fails I love the R&B vibe that you put on your songs.. so I will go with that (if I have to chose)   Posted by April on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 4:26 PM [Reply to this]

	JusT a DreaM	I would defiantly say Country/Soul I love that feel of that "grittiness" in your voice! Cant wait to see you in Bridgeport Ct!   Posted by JusT a DreaM on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 4:26 PM [Reply to this]

	*~Mandi~* Amanda Boltin	Wow what a decision! I think you are awesome in all those areas but I have to say I like the others before me am totally loving take it or leave it! but i also love Summer Symphony.. so i would just say do a mix of them... hey you know i just went to best buy. com to make sure i had the title of the song right and it said your CD was backordered... thats great!! that means they are selling ur CD like crazy! Anyways hope all is well with you! Hope to see you soon!   Posted by *~Mandi~* on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 4:26 PM [Reply to this]

	Stacey ♥	country/soul! take it or leave it is my favorite ;)   Posted by Stacey ♥ on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 - 12:32 PM [Reply to this]

	ObAmA is my next president!!!! jennifer medina	Okay so I am no music producer or anything but i do love music. My thoughts... with your voice... DEF a mix between pop/R&B and urban. Your original Beautiful distraction is what made me fall in love with you! I can't wait to see you in Philly next week!!!!!   Posted by ObAmA is my next president!!!! on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 - 12:32 PM [Reply to this]

	Support Local Music	either country/soul or throwbackish. people dont get to hear enough of that stuff!!!! plus you're reeeeally great at it!! :)   Posted by Support Local Music on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 - 12:32 PM [Reply to this]

	cara	I think any of them would be great !! So why not do alittle bit of them all ! Can't wait to see u in NYC next week :)   Posted by cara on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 - 11:57 PM [Reply to this]

	♥B 3 ( l< Y♥ Rebecca Balliet	Hey Josh, you rocked on the early show we were all sitting around watching while you were singing 360 (of course we were all singing) in the middle of the song it went off -- we all screamed lol really ... but anyway maybe urban/track but whatever you do will be great !!! :~) ttyl Becky♥ PS. next tour you have to come to orlando fl   Posted by ♥B 3 ( l< Y♥ on Thursday, March 12, 2009 - 3:31 PM [Reply to this]

	Lynne	Hmmm. I would vote #3 and/or #4..I think a vintage feeling vibe would be super cool.. And oh yeah, NYC. Watch out. Just warnin' ya. ;)   Posted by Lynne on Friday, March 13, 2009 - 5:03 PM [Reply to this]

	Kathey Kathey Payne	Remember all the songs you use to sing to us in the car or on the beach or anywhere. You would be good singing anything you want to. We still love you. Thought about you while we were in Destin this week. K-K   Posted by Kathey on Saturday, March 14, 2009 - 5:01 PM [Reply to this]

	Mandy	I'd say a good mix of all of those would be a fantastical idea....ya know, Marc B style!! =)   Posted by Mandy on Monday, March 16, 2009 - 10:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Nikki	I pick country/soul cause that would be some awesome stuff! I love the gritty-ness of it and it would sound cool!   Posted by Nikki on Monday, March 16, 2009 - 10:39 PM [Reply to this]

	emmeli	country/soul all the way. throw in a little acoustic, with your voice all raspy the way it gets during a show, and it'll be played non-stop 24/7. that's what i missed on "everything she was" compared to the bedroom sessions volume 1, the raspy raw edge to your voice. i like it real and raw, none of this polished up stuff   Posted by emmeli on Monday, March 16, 2009 - 10:39 PM [Reply to this]
