If I Cant Have You by Adam Lambert, American Idol

Oh I just can't wait. American Idol on April 21, 2009 with the top 7 contestants still has not shown on Australian telly. It will air this evening for us Aussies.

But I hear good things. One of my favourites, Adam Lambert apparently has wowed everyone again. (Well, okay ... not everyone coz there will always be people with opposing views as evidenced in this instance by this comment "This was the one performance where I didn't agree with the judges so much, since I thought the song was so slow that it lacked much spark..." ~ Claire Zulkey ~ )

I am hanging out just to watch it tonight. Don't anyone dare come visit at the wrong time this evening otherwise I will have to put on my witch's garb and my big and nasty broom to whack unwanted visitors!

Tonight will be "Disco night" on American Idol. Adam Lambert will be singing "If I Can't Have You" by the Bee Gees. And since I am not able to "see" anything yet ... not even on the internet ... here are the lyrics for those of you who want it to sing along tonight ..

If I Can't Have You

(by Bee Gees)

Don’t know why I’m surviving every lonely day
When there’s got to be no chance for me
My life would end and it doesn’t matter how I cry
My tears of love are a waste of time
If I turn away am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you ah ah, I can’t have you
I don’t want nobody baby, if I can’t have you ah ah

Can’t let go and it doesn’t matter how I try
I gave it all so easily to you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

I do confess it is very biased of me to concentrate solely on Adam but to date, he is my top favourite and has more than wowed me every time. And though I am blown away by Susan Boyle and 12 year old Shaheen Jafargholi from Britain's Got Talent, 2009 ... if they were all in the same contest, I think I would still choose Adam Lambert at this stage.

Unfair as it seems, he does have all the "star-look" but much more than that, he seems to have what critics used to call, the mysterious "it" factor. And maybe it has something too to do with the ghostly experience of seeing Elvis Presley peek out of Adam's persona once in a while.
