I think you guys are tripping. You have to understand what his audience is going to want to hear (appealing to the masses), and his new single is a straight up club banger. It's goes along well with the new wave of music that is taking over, certainly within my generation and younger, except it's a little better. I will also bet that not every song, or even the majority, will sound like that on his album. There will songs that are probably straight up rock, some club jump offs like this one, and a couple ballads (like the single for 2012, not to be confused with his new club banger). Who knows, but the bottom line is this dude is talented and I bet he has some talented people surrounding him to make sure he is a hit.
He will probably have all types of shit on there, but nonetheless I will be and some of you should be excited that at least someone new and fresh is on the scene who actually has some skill. He's better than American Idol, he just needed that as a platform, so I venture that he will fare better than previous Idol winners in terms of popularity, and the diversity in his music. Bottom line his new song has a hot beat.
