American Idol 2009 winner Kris Allen's official first single from his upcoming debut album is an upbeat track about seizing the day and not putting off until tomorrow what you can do today. It has all the right ingredients: positive message, radio-ready catchy melody, and Allen's unmistakeable Southern charm that makes you feel like he is singing the song to you and you alone. Too bad Allen is saddled with the unfortunate burden of being the dark horse that the string-pullers in the American Idol management (and various associated entities) didn't expect to go all the way. As such, he is given the "unwanted child" treatment, as evidenced by the lousy marketing and promotional push he's been getting thus far, which leaves this track (and probably all of the follow-ups) dead in the water before it can even set sail.
