Thanks for the heads up! Looks like a nice musical line up pverall.
I personally can't abide Michael Buble', he gets on my last nerve

But I will be watching for certain to see our girl! Won't it be interesting to see her in the "mumsy" way

I can't wait to see how Diana translates her great fashion sense into maternity clothing. Can't wait!!!

Thanks for letting us know. I do like Buble's take on "Quando, Quando," with Nelly Furtado and I like his song, "I Want to Go Home." I think he sings it from the heart.
I admire Tony Bennett for taking younger performers under his wing. He has great staying power. I think he's truly an artist on many levels -- mentoring and painting as well as singing.
