Frank Sinatra Night "American Idol" begins with the cast rundown Tweener Girls God in your own text message voting:Lee DeWyzeCasey JamesAaron KellyMike LynchBowersox and Crystal.Anthony Hopkins is in the audience, in support of his new arthouse film, "The City of Your Final Destination"? Obscure! And Meathead! Apparently, in support of his tweener daughter nearby.
Unlike this season's other "Idol" drive-by mentor- Usher you know who you are - this week's mentor, Harry Connick Jr. is going to not only mentor the Idolettes but he's going to do their arrangements, sparing them the usual hit-or-miss orchestrations, and will play backup on stage. This man treats an "Idol" gig as seriously as jury duty. "What I'm trying to do is feature the contestants by writing a supportive arrangement," Harry says during a taped bit of him at the piano working out one of the arrangements for tonight's show. "I should be lying by the pool. Do you think Shania Twain was up here doing this?" he said, in re last week's mentor. Props to Harry Connick Jr. for first cross-mentor ding in "Idol" history.
Frank Sinatra's daughters, Tina and Nancy are in the audience. They present 'Idol' judge Simon Cowell with one of Dad's hankies - it's monogrammed.For me?!" Simon says, touched. He kisses Tina because Nancy looks scary. We wonder how many Frank Sinatra monogrammed hankies there are out there. Are they like Salvador Dali prints?
"Big Mike!" Harry shouts when Little Aaron walks into the rehearsal room for mentoring during Aaron's taped bit.
