Usher rivals the master's romantic vocal style with a luscious "Superstar," while American Idol vet Fantasia conjures up his sunny onstage demeanor on "'Til My Baby Comes Home." But it's the old-school divas who land knockouts the lifelong "confirmed bachelor" would have applauded: Aretha Franklin tears "A House Is Not a Home" up from its very foundations.
