video: purely because I feel like it...
Because the day needs a little modern day old school funkishness. So to speak.
I have to admit, I never thought I'd like Lambert as a performer. I mean, he was fine on American Idol (and he continues its recent rich tradition of having people besides the actual winner of their year having much more highly visible careers), but I didn't think he'd work for me. But he really really does, most of the time.
Also, allowing for the conceptual weirdness that this is a recording of a live show, the "live" version of this song is MUCH better than the album version, which is also pretty good. He sounds better when he's a bit less "produced", for lack of a better word. (And when the live show is professionally recorded.)
