Because I'm not Daniel.
DANIEL: I might be Pia.
[laughs] No, for those of you that may not know, we were both finalists on the number-one TV talent show, on dueling networks.
PIA: But I was actually on the one that started it all-- American Idol.
DANIEL: That's true, but Simon Cowell did leave your show to come be a judge on my show, America's Got Talent.
PIA: [laughs] Well, okay, that's true, but we did have some pretty awesome judges.
Randy Jackson stayed.
DANIEL: Oh, yeah.
PIA: We had J.Lo and Steven Tyler.
DANIEL: That is a great panel.
PIA: It is.
DANIEL: You know, Pia, I'm curious, what was your favorite song that you sang on your season of American Idol?
PIA: [laughs] It's funny you ask that, because my favorite song that I ever performed on American Idol actually got me voted off.
DANIEL: [laughs] What?
PIA: Yeah, it did!
DANIEL: Well, now we've got to hear this!
Ladies and gentlemen, the song that got her kicked off American Idol.

DANIEL: Amazing!
PIA: Oh, thank you, Daniel.
DANIEL: That was a killer performance!
PIA: Well, thank you.
I like that song, I do.
DANIEL: Absolutely.
PIA: Bad memories, but I like it.
[laughter] So, what got you voted off?
DANIEL: Which time?
PIA: Oh, there was more than one time?
DANIEL: Yes.
PIA: Do tell.
DANIEL: I did get sent home from America's Got Talent...twice.
[laughter] But I never let that stop me.
PIA: Good, I like the perseverance, Daniel.
That's how you have to be in this industry.
DANIEL: Oh, yeah, never let 'em stop you.
PIA: No, never.
DANIEL: You know, it's funny that you brought up Steven Tyler because, I have to say, my favorite song that I performed on America's Got Talent, from me, the guy that Simon Cowell called... [in British accent] "the opera boy"... [laughter] ...was an Aerosmith song.

You know, as Pia and I were putting this show together, we discovered we both have a mutual love for singing in multiple genres of music, which makes narrowing down a set list impossible.
[laughter] But there was never any doubt about this next song being in the show, because I think you'll all agree with me that Pia absolutely knocks it out of the park.
Ladies and gentlemen, Pia Toscano.

PIA: [laughs] Not only that, Daniel, but right over there is where Elvis would stand every night before he took the stage, and tonight, we get to share in that history and stand in that same spot before we take the stage for our show.
DANIEL: Now we'd like to sing for you one of his most beautiful and beloved songs.

They're overdone.
You don't want to hear them at karaoke.
[laughter] But there's a reason for that.
It's because they are some of the most beautiful messages and beautiful melodies that have ever been written, including this one, from the Righteous Brothers.

I very well may be the world's biggest James Bond fan, of all time.
PIA: This is true.
DANIEL: And I am pinching myself because we happen to be in the filming location for the 1971 blockbuster Diamonds Are Forever.
PIA: See, only you would know that, Daniel.
DANIEL: [laughs] That's probably true, but you know the theme song from that movie, it was awesome.
Remember it?
♪ Diamonds are forever ♪ ♪ They are all I need to please me ♪ DANIEL: Yeah!
PIA: [laughs] You know, that song was made famous by the great Shirley Bassey.
DANIEL: Yes, it was.
PIA: Well, you know what other song she made famous?
DANIEL: Tell me.
♪ ♪ Goldfinger ♪ ♪ Pretty girl ♪ ♪ beware of this heart of gold ♪ ♪ This heart is cold ♪ Now, how about a little Adele?

DANIEL: I have to follow that?
Well, the Bond franchise has a history of using the hottest artists of the moment, and in 1973, that was Sir Paul McCartney.
♪ When you were young ♪ ♪ and your heart ♪ ♪ was an open book ♪ ♪ You used to say live and let live ♪ ♪ You know you did, you know you did ♪ ♪ you know you did ♪ ♪ But if this ever changing world ♪ ♪ in which we live in ♪ ♪ Makes you give in and cry ♪ ♪ ♪ Say live and let die ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [cheering and applause] I can tell, we got some serious Bond fans in the house tonight, but just how serious are you?
Has anybody here ever written their own James Bond theme song?
Well, Vegas, I did, for the 2015 movie Spectre, and it went a little something like this.
♪ No one can run, no one can hide ♪ ♪ From the man in the shadows ♪ ♪ Prowling the dark, out in the night ♪ ♪ He's your secret protector ♪ ♪ Your spectre ♪ ♪ [cheering and applause] Thank you.
PIA: Daniel, that was amazing.
DANIEL: Thank you.
PIA: Did that make it in the movie?
DANIEL: No.
PIA: [laughs] It didn't?
DANIEL: No, it did not.
PIA: Well, what did?
DANIEL: They went with a track by Sam Smith, and I got to be honest with you, when I went to see the movie, I was a little bit bitter.
[Pia laughs] And I didn't want to like it, but I did, it's a great song, and I hope you all like it, too.

[applause] Yeah, that's amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, we are so privileged to be here with a dear friend.
DANIEL: David Foster.
PIA: David Foster.
[cheering and applause] PIA: The hit man himself, David Foster, everyone.
[applause] DAVID: Whoa, thank you.
[Daniel laughs] PIA: They love you!
DAVID: Let me just say, uh, please, stay standing.
[laughter] Please have a seat.
Uh, let me just say, I've been sitting back there, and I have been, first of all, so proud of both of you, but so thrilled at what I've seen.
The show is spectacular... PIA: Thank you, David.
DAVID: ...in every way.
PIA: Thank you!
DANIEL: Thank you!
DAVID: And now I'll just sit at the piano.

DANIEL: Without a doubt.
[cheering and applause] Thank you.
DAVID: Beautiful job, guys.
DANIEL: Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for joining us tonight and for being here.
It is the honor of a lifetime to get to work with you and to get to call you our friend, and I know that I've enjoyed every minute of our time together over the past year.
DAVID: Well, thank you, and I remember so clearly when you came to audition for me to be on my tour, and, uh, you were pretty scared.
[laughter] DANIEL: That is the understatement of the century.
DAVID: But you sang so beautifully, and I'm so happy that you're in my life.
Pia, of course, is another story.
We'll talk about that maybe in a minute, but... [laughter] I mean, no, I'm happy that she's in my life.
[Daniel laughs] But honestly, you're a real treasure, and the star is, is looming, man.
Your star is shining so bright.
So congratulations, Daniel.
DANIEL: Ladies and gentlemen, as David mentioned, I know we've only known each other a short time, but I would be remiss if I did not highlight the incredibly special bond that these two wonderful artists share, and I know that our audience would love to hear more about that.
So, ladies and gentlemen, Pia Toscano and David Foster.
PIA: [laughs] Can I just tell a little story?
DAVID: You sure can.
PIA: I'm gonna try to keep it as short as possible, but this man means so much to me, and I spent so long trying to get to you.
And I was so inspired by your music from such a young age.
I finally got the chance to meet you many years later.
We were both at Jennifer Lopez's Christmas party, and they asked me to come up and sing, and they asked you to accompany me with "O Holy Night."
Right, full disclosure, I saw that he RSVP'd, so I rehearsed all of his Christmas songs.
[David laughs] [laughs] I did!
DAVID: Well, cut to-- she killed it that night.
It was incredible!
PIA: Thank you.
DAVID: I mean, like a voice like I'd never heard before, and there may be more to the story, but eight years later, I mean, we've been touring for eight years, and, and you know, I'm, I'm so happy for you because your star is like, you guys are gonna explode, and I'm gonna be like, "Hey, you know, I have a gig, uh, could you come and join me?"
And she's gonna be like, "How'd you get this number?"
I know it.
I've seen the drill before.
PIA: I'm never gonna do that ever because you are the entire reason why I'm able to get onstage and do things like this.
DAVID: Well, I'm so happy to be here for both of you, and, um, that probably segues us to your other favorite singer, who I found in a little tent up in Montreal, named... PIA: ...Celine Dion.
[cheering and applause] DAVID: She's not here, by the way, okay?
Just in case you were wondering.
[laughter] This is a song we're about to do that I did with Celine, and Pia crushes it every night.
There's a long story.
I'll make it short.
There's a high note in this song, you'll recognize it, you can't deny it, and I made Celine do it eight times.
She went hoarse and hated me, um, but you'll notice this high note.
Anyway, Pia only gets one chance to do it, and every night, she gets it perfect.
[cheering and applause] PIA: Thank you, David.

PIA: Thank you.
[cheering and applause] DAVID: She does that every night when we're on tour.
Every night, she hits those notes.
I don't know how she does it.
Uh, she's truly remarkable.
Uh, so Daniel, Daniel Emmet.
[cheering and applause] In my show, and I'm sorry to keep referring to my show, but it's how I relate to these two singers mostly.
Uh, they, um, Daniel, he has another gear that he can go to.
And you haven't seen it tonight.
You've seen him do a lot of incredible things.
And he is amazing, and he's flawless, and like I said, you've seen two stars really be born on this stage tonight.
But he has another gear that he's gonna go to, and he's gonna show it to you right now.
I'd like to lie and say it's a song I wrote, but it's actually a song written by Puccini 120 years ago.
Um, in my show, I say that I wrote it and people don't know the difference.
They're just like... [laughter] Anyway, this is their show, I will get off the stage now, but please welcome back the incredibly talented Daniel Emmet!
