Harry Connick Jr.

How do you feel about him as a pianist, a crooner
and as the alleged
"King Of Jazz"

"King of Jazz"?

Ahem.

That said, I like some of his older songs. "To Love The Language" is fun.

Prince should record that track himself finally. It's one of the best things about the Aladdin DVD.

That's like the Howard Stern regular "king of all blacks," who I believe is actually a garbage man.

He has some talent, yes, but does he even have any style? His singing is a rip off of Frank, but he has no range or emotion. His playing is better, but he seems to have stopped focusing on that in favor of his smile, which I think he ripped off from Elvis.

I love Harry!
Dislike the older stuff (the too brassy things and the first album hmm ) but just around When Harry Met Sally he struck gold with me.

Then his pop/funk albums! Wow! What a daring step! I loved them! And the musical album! I wish Tim Burton would tell Danny Elfman to ask him to sing a few songs... he did the Oompa Loompa song! And I love it!

I love his multi faceted ways of looking at music. He ain't the king of jazz, but hell he is the king of swing!
