I’m not what you’d call an American Idol fan. When the first season was on and I saw my first epidode alongside my buddy Toth the night before heading down to Bonnaroo, I said it was just a fad. Clearly I was wrong, but I’ve been overall unimpressed with the Idols the show creates. I’ll give you Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, but we’ll see in a year or two if Adam Lambert is still around. Damn his songs are annoying. “If I Had You” isn’t as annoying and I don’t think there’s anything particularly summery about it to be honest, but I imagine pop radio listeners will be getting inundated by it. I do like how the woods light up like a disco and Lambert’s gear seems inspired by Road Warrior. Tupac did it better, but it’s still fun.
