American Idol tends to have weeks that are dedicated to a particular style of music or a specific artist. Michael Jackson, Elvis, and Sinatra are only a few of the artists whose songs have been imitated or reworked on the show with some good and some god-awful renditions . There are several things to watch for in the clip. Notice: the crowd's response to Tina and Nancy's appearance on the show (a genuine respect for the legend), Simon's obvious hero-worship and respect towards Sinatra when receiving a monogrammed handkerchief, the singer's strained approach to "Fly Me to the Moon", and Simon's description of qualities which were distinctly Sinatra. This clip reminds me that sometimes it is beneficial to see someone imitate in order to gain a better perception of what makes the original so special and unique. Enjoy!
