Tony Bennett is one of the most recognizable voices in American popular music history. He has always been a gentleman, always well spoken and proper. So it’s no wonder that he lit up the night at Fox’s American Idol set last night with positive input and that trademark smile of his.
Bennett was gracious to all the Idol contestants. He came off a kinder and gentler coach than any other we’ve seen thus far. Bennett spoke of beautiful Jordin Sparks voice, that she is “very much in tune, which is rare these days.” On Sanjaya, Bennett commented, “He comes up with something every week. He’s very interesting. He’s got a sense of humor."

From country music outcasts to winning 5 Grammy's is not a bad turnaround for The Dixie Chicks. The group, who jeopardized their career by criticizing U.S. President George W. Bush, won all five Grammy Awards for which they were nominated on Sunday, including the coveted album of the year.
"The victory for their work on the chart-topping album "Taking the Long Way" marked a stunning validation for the female Texan trio almost four years after their dream run as the darlings of Nashville came to an abrupt end," reported Reuters
Singer Natalie Maines told fans during a 2003 concert in London she was ashamed to come from the same state as Bush.
