What is the world going to do when Burt Bachrach kicks it? It will be a sad, sad day. He should be in charge of song writing on this show, instead of whoever the LOSERS are that did Taylor and Katharine’s singles. I guess they can’t afford Burt? Whatever.

Here’s a run down on each of the 12 finalists singing Burt. . Do they do him justice?

Taylor Hicks - this is the kind of music Taylor should sing, instead of that “wish I were black” stuff
Katharine McPhee - gorgeous. . . perfect for her
Ace Young - he was the best he’s ever been
Melissa McGhee - not really her brand of tunes, but she was sultry enough. . she needs to do Carly Simon
Kellie Pickler - I hate her but she put a nice country spin on Dionne’s classic
Bucky Covington - uh. . . it was nice for your middle school musical
Mandisa - SHE IS A GODDESS. She and Burt should definitely do an album.
Lisa Tucker - Mind blowing! She IS the next Dionne.
Elliott Yamin - I actually liked him the best doing Burt. I’ll give him his props.
Kevin Covais - Cute as a button!
Chris Daughtry - Not his thing. . . Sorry, Chris. . you know you’re hot.
Paris Bennett - Not quite up to Burt’s standards, I’d say. . Sorry girl. . not your thing.

Then, HOLY HELL. . Dionne Warwick appears. . This show is really pulling out every stop! Now they will see a real master. . of course, Mandisa and Lisa Tucker can stand besider her head up high. Dionne is getting old but she is still a master. This was great musical television.
