Tony Bennett Finally Gets His "Idol" Moment...

8:45 We’re back…Ryan introduces Tony Bennett while standing next to Constantine. And was that Teri Hatcher in front of him? I bet that was awkward…Simon gives Tony a standing ovation…He does “For Once In My Life”…I think that’s nice that they let him perform after he missed his chance earlier. And that’s “Idol” arranger Michael Orland on the piano…That was pretty good. And he didn’t slur his words like Michael Buble…The crowd goes crazy…Justin Guarini gives him a standing ovation…Smokey does a fist pump…Jennifer Hudson looks like she has tears in her eyes…Jerry Springer is in the house…

8:49 Another Golden Idol Award…Best Buddies: Jonathan and Kenneth (The guy Simon said was a bush baby and his friend.), Amanda and Antonella, Simon and Ryan…Ryan says, “Good luck, baby.” Simon says he has his fingers crossed…Ryan tells him he doesn’t have an Emmy, and he doesn’t have one of these either…The winner is, of course, Jonathan and Kenneth…Kenneth says they’ve done a lot of red carpets…Kenneth has a beard now…Kenneth tells Simon he wouldn’t be where he is now if Simon hadn’t said what he did. Simon likes that. It is, after all, true…Ryan shows a picture of a real bush baby. He says that they adopted one at the Milwaukee Zoo in Kenneth’s honor and named it Simon…As they walk off, Simon gives them a standing ovation…

8:54 Melinda and BeBe and CeCe Winans…Ryan says she used to sing back-up for them…I don’t know the name of this one, but I presume it’s “Hold On to Light”…They should definitely record together…Break…
