Yes, with the backing tracks already recorded this song could be done in a day or two. I know with the studio versions of the idol tracks the contestants had just a few hours to record their vocals, and Adam's sounded magnificent (check out Change is Gonna Come, Feeling Good and If I Can't Have You).
I do think Body would be the best choice for the newest Steinman single, but I'm kind of torn as to if Lambert should do it. Of course if there was an actual chance of it I'd say absolutely. In my opinion Body is not nearly as accessible to the masses as Not Allowed to Love, Braver or even Still the Children. I just think more people could identify with the themes in the other songs a bit more, if that make sense. Body really breaks down to a lonely love song with a great melody. Always a possible hit, but I wonder if the masses would view this song in the same light as say Bleeding Love (which is the last huge song I can think of that may be similar).
