After rumors that Adam Lambert was going to choose "Music Again" as the next single off of "For Your Entertainment," it has now been confirmed that the "American Idol" runner-up is going in a different direction. What direction is that, exactly? The song will be his up-tempo dance number "If I Had You." The song certainly seems radio-friendly with its catchy chorus, and it already has some high-profile airplay as it was featured on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

With this in mind, the plan is still for Adam to play "Music Again" on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," at least until someone comes out and announces otherwise.

In other "Idol"-related music news, Kelly Clarkson announced that her next single off of "All I Ever Wanted" would be the title track. Two songs off her album, "My Life Would Suck Without You" and "Already Gone," have already been top ten hits.

    Excellent choice!!...I was hoping Adam would choose this song! For Your Entertainment CD is one of the best I ever had in a long,long time in addition all of the tracks of this CD is very good! There are songs for everyone besides rock there are ballads beautifully sung by Adam.

    I love all Adam's songs and any one would be another hit

    It wouldn't matter which single he releases, the whole album is wonderful! It's the only one I have played in my car since it's release in November 2009!

    Yes!! this is perfect! WHen I heard his CD, that was my favorite song by far! I hope it is. Then, maybe... Strut??

    Couldn't have been happier to hear this was his choice as next single! He went dance with 'For Your Entertainment' slowed things down with 'Whataya Want From Me' and now he's upping the tempo again! After this I would love to hear 'Soaked' as another single as well! But I love all his songs so it's a touch choice! :D
