''Music Again''

(Written by Justin Hawkins; produced by Rob Cavallo)

Even cynics who think American Idol is the head horseman summoning the music-industry apocalypse will have a hard time denying the total awesomeness of this track, written by The Darkness' Justin Hawkins. The beats drive harder than Jason Statham in The Transporter, and Adam gets to showcase both his saucy rocker growl and his uh-huh-he-did-it falsetto while celebrating a love relationship — and his love relationship with music. (For some reason I can't shake the image of a Wall-E-esque video where Robot Adam has his humanity awakened by a fellow android. Is that weird?) Bonus points to the Idol Who Launched a Thousand Bra-Flings during this show's summer tour for having the cojones to kick off his album with the line, ''I want your body, mind, soul etcetera,'' then rhyming it with ''And I ain't ever met nobody better-er.'' Could that addition to the lexicon succeed ''unfriend'' as New Oxford Dictionary Word of the Year 2010? Here's hoping.
