Tony Bennett showed you why I love the 40's. That 80-year-old blew the place away. Amazing pipes to a 40's style song written by a Motown writer in 67. "For Once in my Life." Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. GET RID OF YOUR MAKEUP ARTISTS! They both looked like they were trying to cover up a 40 year old face. Just slathered on. Kelly's combination of appearance and song were awful, IMO. Carrie at least, sang good material. Sanjaya Malakar and Aerosmith's Joe Perry performed "You Really Got Me." And proved again how bad he is. Bette Midler performed "Wind Beneath My Wings," and was awful. She is going into Vegas as a replacement for Celine Dijon in Celine's show during Celine's vacation? Good luck. They went for a "name" instead of a great Diva. I thought The Beatles Sgt. Pepper singing was excellent. Too bad about Rubin Studdard. Great voice, bad package. You will never see his like win again. The good news is that "So you think you can dance" starts again tonight. I think it will be even better than it was last year.

Speaking of Kellie she looks been badly used and abused, and her first song overflowed with anger... which seemed genuine. She's getting panned everywhere, but I liked her last night. Never really paid much attention to her before. It was fun to think of her standing up to Clive Davis. Her Never Again was one of the few numbers last night that didn't sound like "product." Tony Bennett -- man, it's so nice to see someone inspiring all that love and admiration. Bette Midler -- maybe needs some Tony Bennett lessons? Loved watching Melinda when Gladys Knight came out. Noticed Glady's positive reaction when Lakisha turned it on. Was nice to see the guys digging their backup roles behind Smokey Robinson. A good-spirited bunch. They seem like old friends now, like I've been watching them for years instead of weeks. Lots of character. On the dark side: What's up with all the cruelty and sadism that's been slipping into TV programming lately? Putting up that picture of a bushbaby?! What's next -- Everybody Loves Caligula?
