Wow! What a lineup.  A who's who of the music business.
I wonder why the song with Celine is the last one, right after the only solo song.

[ANewDay...]

very nice to have put CELINE's song at the very end of the album; as far as i'm concerned, traditionnally, the first and last songs are the most important on a CD, at least in terms of strategically placing them in an order...

go CELINE go!

[whosarahre]

this looks like great news for a new english album, we are now seeing a build up of songs not yet released!

I think it's also because of the duet with Celine seems like the last minute addition. In many press release about this album, the tracklist is 18 tracks without Celine.

[felixwhoals]

Does that mean there'll be jazz music ? Celine gonna sing jazz music? yipee!!!

[MichiG.]

that's awesome!! I really like the idea of antoher jazz duett, actually I like the idea ojazz sung by Celine a looooooot! can't wait to hear it and I think Celine can be proud to be chosen by Tony and being among all those fine artists!!!

[MichiG.]

guess what I just found on billboard.com:

And in December, Bennett will be presented with the Century Award, Billboard's highest honor for creative achievement, during the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. Happy 80th birthday, Tony!

can we hope for a live performance with a French-Canadian singer???

I really hope so. It's very appropriate to duet with the Queen of Las Vegas.

you can say that again!!! I can´t wait for listenning her again(with a new song)   

[stevo]

it would be so cool if Celine stole the show at the billboards- although a jazz song is hardly going to rock the place...I'd say the A New Day team will try and get Celine some proper promotion this coming winter as the show wraps up next year and they'll want her to leave her mark and go out with a bang- atg least they should do their best to get her nticed and playing all these big events. I want Celine to be celebrated to her fullest!!!!!

[vivezpouraimer]

AWESOME!!!

I wish Celine would make a duets album.

celine loves duets , we all know that - i think not alot of artists recorded and performed so many duets like celine .
however i truely want her next english album in 2008 to be all about her and her golden voice.

[celinefanonline]

how about on billboards Celine do the duet with Tony first and then after the song Celine sings another song just her with AND cast
or the other way around..
what do u think?

great idea , but it would never happen.

there is a slim chance celine will do the duet with him as part of the tribute but she would never get the chance to sing another song - she is just not hot enough this days for them to let her sing for more than 2 minutes.

Is Tony Bennet hot enough to get 10 minutes tribute on the show?        Also Celine is the hottest headliner in Las Vegas.

I almost can't wait to hear how this track sounds...

What a great idea! Something along the lines of Barbra Streisand's Duets album from 2002.  

I can't wait to hear this new creation from Celine and Tony!  

[kdw123]

I'm really excited about a new song!    I can't wait to hear it!    Hopefully a new English album is not too far behind.

[Chouchou]

I'm really glad about this duet... I hope this will open the door to a new jazz album... I think she has just got a perfect voice style to sing jazz...

Interesting news. Listen to a new celine's song is always wonderful for me.

Here's a Chuck Taylor review of "Just in Time", the first single off the album:

Quote

Just in TimeTONY BENNETT WITH MICHAEL BUBLÉProducer(s): Phil Ramone
Genre: JAZZ
Label: Publisher: Warner/ Chappell Columbia

Tony Bennett, who just turned 80 and is Billboard's 2006 Century Award honoree, becomes ever cooler as he matures. His latest album, "Duets," aligns him with a dozen artists known for their vocal prowess and tests the versatility of Bennett and his partners, a la Bono, k.d. lang, Celine Dion and Stevie Wonder. "Just in Time," his duet with newly crowned AC staple Michael Bublé, is an ideal treat with its vast melodic charms and instantly recognizable voices. Bennett isn't a core artist at AC radio, but how fun that grown-ups get to be the hipsters this time around as Bennett tosses out a seemingly effortless, whimsical performance against the grand match of Bublé's proven gifts. A premier opportunity for the format to own its niche. —Chuck Taylor

Who do you think will be the producer of Celine's song?

Well... There's no need to answer this question!
According to CelineManiacs.com, Phis Ramone produced all the songs of the album.

Celine Duets with Tony Bennett
In tribute to Tony Bennett's 80th birthday (August 3, 2006), SONYBMG will release a duets CD in honor of this milestone, to be in stores on September 26th. An impressive roster of vocalists joined Tony in the recording studio earlier this year to record duet versions of the songs most associated with Bennett's repertoire. Celine recorded a new duet called "If I Ruled The World" with the crooner. Among the list of guest duet artists are: Barbra Streisand, Bono, Elton John, John Legend, the Dixie Chicks, James Taylor, k.d. lang, Juanes, Elvis Costello, Tim McGraw and Sting.

Each artist performed live with Tony in studios in New York, Los Angeles and London and for many of these artists this "face to face" approach was a departure from their standard method of studio recording. Phil Ramone is the producer for this project.
