Overheard today at PopWatch HQ, a convo between Slezak and resident country music expert Mandi Bierly:
Slezak: Country music question for ya.
Mandi: I’m here.
Slezak: Who is this "Josh Turner" person? And why don’t I have a poster of him on my office wall?
Mandi: He is totally yummy! And his voice is amazing.
Slezak: Also, on a related note, why doesn’t pop music have men that look/sound like him?
Mandi: Good question! Maybe because you need to be able to sing along to pop music, and therefore maybe a lot of men would find his deep voice threatening?
Slezak: Not a bad theory. I mean, next to Josh Turner, Justin Timberlake sounds like a 16-year-old girl.
Mandi: So how did you finally discover Mr. Turner?
Slezak: His new video for "Firecracker" premiered at Yahoo Music today. Click here to see it.
Mandi: Whoa. Okay, this is the hottest he’s ever looked.
Slezak: I like all his double entendres in the song… as subtle as a rock to the head, yes, but oddly charming.
Mandi: "Gotta be careful with a dynamite stick"? I like when religious boys get naughty-clever. I just wish they would have released this around the Fourth of July.
Slezak: Missed opportunity! Although one might say that every day’s the Fourth of July when Josh Turner is singing — badum-bum.
Mandi: Have you ever seen his Cross Country on CMT with Randy Travis? They sing each other’s songs. Seriously one of the greatest hours of TV ever.
Slezak: No, I have not.
Mandi: Here’s a YouTube clip of them doing a cover of "King of the Road."
Slezak: Okay, I’ll check it.
Mandi: And, oh my, here’s Josh singing "Always on My Mind" on PBS’ National Memorial Day concert.
Slezak: Sweet!
Mandi: And Josh signing George Jones’ "He Stopped Loving Her Today." Just listen to him sing the word "wall." And the spoken word part? Sigh! Okay, I hate you for starting this.
Slezak: You hate me? Thanks to you, I’m not getting any work done till after lunch.
Mandi: Well, then we’re even.
Slezak: Um, yeah, let’s resume this tiff later. I just found a clip of Josh singing "Folsom Prison Blues."
Mandi: You better send that link, or I’m forwarding this conversation to your husband.
Slezak: Fair enough. Look for it after the jump.

I’m not normally a country music fan, despite living in Georgia (yay, stereotypes!) but I really like Josh Turner.
I suppose I should hate him since he’s got that threatening deep voice Mandi talked about – plus my wife is practically in love with him – but he’s too talented to despise.
omg! i hate country music. but this guy is YUMMY!!!!
“Long Black Train” is what brought me into country music. Lurve me some Josh Turner.
My Mom had me buy her the Josh Turner album like forever ago and I fell for him-he is great!!!
I’m not much for country music and I’m really not much for pretty country musicians but that was a great rendition of He Stopped Loving Her Today. He should lay off the Johnny Cash though, he’s a little too vanilla to pull that off.
I love country music! Josh Turner’s voice is amazing and he can actually write too! Check out “Long Black Train” if you want to hear more.
So. Pretty.
Not much of a country fan either, but whoo-whee! He sure is purty. And his voice. Wow, haven’t heard anything that masculine for a while. Slezak, you’re going to have to cut this stuff out. I have to get some work done and all I’m doing is watching country videos. Sigh.
God sure did make him a PRETTY ONE did’t he and that vioce is – to sleep with – I mean die for -
Eh. His tumbre is unqiue, but emotionally he doesn’t offer much. Plus, most of his songs are corny.
He doesn’t have much of a stage presence, does he? But, George Strait has had a pretty successful career standing behind a mic and strumming a guitar. I’d much rather see stand behind a mic and sing real country music than all these other posers jump around singing country pop and wearing muscle shirts. Give me classic country, in such a pretty package and sung in such a unique, beautiful voice, and I’m a fan.
That voice comes out of that face? Yum.
Well, he’s gorgeous, and watching him makes the music tolerable. The voice coming out of that face is a little…unexpected, though.
I LOVE Josh Turner. I’ve been a fan of his when I heard his song “Your Man.” That is one of the best songs to dance to at a country club. Yes, I do enjoy country clubs, and I’m Asian!!
He is a sexy man… especially after he shaved his head. Hello!
For those who “get it” this will mean something – for those who don’t – oh well – Josh Turner is the next ELVIS!!!
Oh my GOD i love him!!!
I’ve seen him in concert and he actually did have pretty good stage presence. Not as good as Keith Urban, but still he was pretty good on stage, and that voice talking between songs…amazing.
I saw Josh perform at the Memorial Day concert dress rehearsal and he was incredible. His wife is the drummer with his band. He had a great voice and is just an all-around great guy. Can’t ask for more . . . Whew!

Reall cool and love the music http://ddlfrog.com
I have always been a HUGE country music fan, but became bored with it a few years ago because almost all the artists started singing about the bedroom. About this time Josh came along, and oh my stars alive! I am so thankful the Lord that he is a devout follow of Christ, as am I, and that he tries so hard to keep a clean reputation. I love his vioce, but am honestly sick to the core that all these grown married woman are fantasizing about him. Come on! Jennifer is the only one who holds that right!
The good Lord bless, and keep up the good work Josh!

I agree, Rebecca. Looking at a good-looking guy is one thing, but people also need to show some respect and not cross a certain line.
