Talk:Harry Connick Jr.

Stamford, CT Resident

I believe Harry Connick Jr. was a resident of Stamford, CT at Shippan Point. Is that accurate? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shippan_Point

Clerical Error in the Intro

Either a simple mistake was made or a reference was interpreted in the intro:

Harry Connick, Jr. (born Joseph Harry Fowler Connick, Jr.; September 11, 1967) is an American singer, actor, composer, and pianist. Connick has sold over 25 million albums worldwide. He is ranked among the top 60 best-selling male artists in the United States since 1952....

The way it is phrased is confusing since it sounds like he was selling albums years before his birth, but more importantly the reference itself makes no reference to a beginning date. I'm removing references to prior years from the intro, others are welcome to rectify it with an accurate revision that does not include original research.70.127.69.15 (talk) 18:12, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Something is missing

Im a big fan of Connick. Im in the computer technology business, so I bought a magazine not so much ago that stated that he invented (an received a patent) a method to display and synchronize musical sheets in computer displays. They even got a photo where Harry was in the middle of a circle made of G3 workstations. So you are missing another title for him: Inventor.

In this link I found an article related http://www.connick.com/hcjr/pages/articles/publications/nytimes040302.shtml

It starts with: Harry Connick Jr. is a versatile guy: crooner, composer, big-band leader, piano player, actor, comedian. And an inventor, as well.

Reaction to "Hey, Hey its Saturday" Red Faces sketch

Needs a rework. One part of the "Hey, Hey" format is the small segment known as "Red Faces", in which amateur talent performs under the highly critical eye of the panel of regular and guest judges, and always under threat of thus being gonged off (gong: essentially the Hook, for American readers). Red Faces has long been notable for its amateur acts of wildly varying quality, often sending up themselves or other well-known figures either by their piece, or (more often) by the very lack of their talent. The Jackson Jive piece was a pop-group costume parody in that tradition - more chutzpah than talent, typical of the genre. Whether it could be seen as, or criticised, as "black face" is highly debatable. Either way, Connick over-reacted but was given a polite hearing. In Australia, we're all too used to visiting Americans, from Ambassadors through over-paid executives and on down the food chain to minor show biz persons, who though guests in our country choose to abuse that privelege by throwing their weight around in the course of their brief stays. Being a tolerant society, we don't shoot people we disagree with or because of the colour of their skin. We simply let them shoot their mouths off and then let them go home. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.254.92.69 (talk) 10:36, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Reaction to "Hey, Hey its Saturday" Jackson Jive sketch

I think that this section is excessively long and comprises recentism. This is a very recent event and its context is not yet understood. While it deserves mention, I think the detail offered is unwarranted. Does anyone else agree? JEN9841 (talk) 03:43, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Challenged NPOV

The first 10 paragraphs at least read like a puff piece. Wikipedia monitors should review the edits for suck puppetry; and compare it to a biographical article about another entertainment figure of comparable importance, or unimportance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.161.253.218 (talk) 01:29, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Is he a conductor?

The intro states that Connick is a conductor, but the word "conduct" appears nowhere else on the page. As far as I can tell, he has conducting credits for his second Xmas album. I could not find any other mention of his conducting work.

Does a "one-off" piece of conducting on one of his own albums qualify him for this title? It appears he has done no training for the role.

I'd suggest removing this word from the page as it is an exaggeration and simply adds complexity, masking what he *really* is by adding to the long string of working roles listed. Marchino61 (talk) 00:57, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Photo update Harry Connick Jr

Photo was updated from a picture of Harry at Tulane to a more recent picture that his wife took of him with his daughter Kate. Approved by Artist's management, Wilkins Management.

Image appearing incorrectly on Safari

The new image of Harry Connick, Jr. with his daughter Kate does not appear correctly in Safari. It looks distorted as if it's being viewed through an x-ray machine. The image appears fine in IE and Firefox and it also appears OK in Safari on mobile devices (tested on iPhone and iPad). Does anyone know why this would be?

This page mentioned by Munfarid Zaidi on inaugural episode of American Idol

At the very end of the first episode of season 13 of American Idol, there was a sequence of how many of the participants don't even know who the "third judge" (Harry Connick, Jr.) is. Then we were introduced to a contestant from Texas of Pakistani origin Munfarid Zaidi, a 19 year old fan, who was visibly star-struck by Harry Connick, Jr. and said: "I read your Wikipedia page every day before going to sleep" which prompted Harry to respond: "You know who I am!" before running over and picking Munfarid Zaidi up cradling him and letting him sing a verse or two in his arms.... The two other judges Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez were just giggling as Harry was heard saying "Give him his ticket". "Why was he cradling you?" Ryan Seacrest asked. "Because I love him" the 19-year-old from Texas said. Here's the report. Another report about this in London's Daily Mail. So here's to all contributors to this page... And here's to our hero Munfarid who I sincerely hope reads the Wikipedia talk page of Harry Connick, Jr. just as well. We want to let you know you made us all so happy and we are just praying that you go ahead as far as possible in the contest... But seriously.... Wikipedia is getting real mainstream with so many checking it and referring to it. werldwayd (talk) 06:28, 16 January 2014 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 06:44, 16 January 2014 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 08:01, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Requested move 04 May 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved; subject does not have a clear preference of using the comma (non-admin closure) Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:04, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

---

Harry Connick Jr. → Harry Connick, Jr. – WP:JR does express a preference for not using a comma before Jr. It does, however, state that a "living subject whose own preference is clear and consistent" is one exception to the guideline. In this case, Connick always includes the comma in his name, which can be seen on his website and on album covers (see [1] [2] and [3] for example. Note that several categories, such as Category:Harry Connick Jr., need to be moved back to the comma'd version. – Calidum ¤ 20:07, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

@Calidum and Dicklyon: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:12, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

• It's not as clear as you say. Many of his albums drop the comma, as you can see at Harry Connick Jr. (album), 20 (Harry Connick, Jr., album), Come by Me, Thou Shalt Not (album), Other Hours: Connick on Piano, Volume 1, Occasion: Connick on Piano, Volume 2, Harry on Broadway, Act I, Chanson du Vieux Carré : Connick on Piano, Volume 3. We're still looking for someone who seems to insist on a comma, but this does not appear to be the guy. Dicklyon (talk) 20:20, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

• Note – due to some bot action, Calidum was not able to revert my move to the comma-free title, as he reverted all my other moves, taking related articles back to these titles:
• List of songs recorded by Harry Connick, Jr.
• Harry Connick, Jr., discography
• Forever for Now (Harry Connick, Jr., album)
• 30 (Harry Connick, Jr., album)
• She (Harry Connick, Jr., album)
• 25 (Harry Connick, Jr., album)
• 20 (Harry Connick, Jr., album)
• plus maybe some templates and categories.

So I presume this RM will be taken as applicable to the whole lot, with simpler disambiguator (Harry Connick Jr. album). Dicklyon (talk) 22:45, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose – per my note above, migrated here from the technical requests page, HCJ does not appear to be an example of a person who consistently uses a comma. At least a half dozen of his albums omit the comma from their cover art, so this suggests he has no particiular attachment to a comma in the styling of his name. Therefore, per the preference in WP:JR and all the RM precedents that support it, we should opt for the comma-free styling, the way it usually appears in news and magazines. Dicklyon (talk) 22:45, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose—as usual, in the sources we find plenty of usage without the comma. Tony (talk) 01:48, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose. I was going to support at first, but the facts do not support this move. Nom's statement that 'a "living subject whose own preference is clear and consistent" is one exception to the guideline' is incorrect, and wouldn't apply in this case anyway. A preponderance of reliable, independent, current sources using the comma is the exception, and probably the only time this will occur is when the subject is alive and is very insistent on the usage of the comma. Doesn't seem to be happening with Connick. I see no evidence establishing that a supermajority of recent RS about Connick are writing his name with a comma – in fact, it's the exact opposite, as I demonstrate below. As shown above, his own usage has not been consistent in his own works to begin with (I'd assumed it was, which is why I was thinking "support" at first). Absent a showing that a large majority of the sources continue to use the comma for him especially, we should go with the MoS default of no comma. I just did a search on "Harry Connick, Jr." at Google News, with settings leaning to both US publications (which is a bias toward usage of the comma) and recent sources, and the results are overwhelmingly no-comma [4], and same goes for a Google Books search [5], despite including results going back all the way to ca. 1990 when the comma was more common. While I thought this was possibly a case where the sources would continue to use the comma because Connick's own album covers usually do, it just isn't the case.
  PS: I originally tried to engineer into MOS:JR and the RfC about it an explicit exception for BLPs who prefer the comma, whether or not the sources did so. The closer of the RfC did not include this in the close (and he's correct that it did not garner much explicit support). When I tried to write it into the post-RfC text of MOS:JR anyway, the closer objected, so the BLP-related bit in it has since been rewritten as an observation of likelihood, not a requirement. If we want an actual exception to always use the punctuation, if any, clearly preferred by a living subject, we're going to have to have another RfC establishing that, sorry. And this case wouldn't qualify anyway, given all the examples above of comma-free album covers.

• Oppose, use consistent MOS like a real encyclopedia. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:59, 5 May 2016 (UTCuː)

Too bad our MOS doesn't isn't on such consistent use and says not to change from one acceptable style to another. Calidum ¤ 18:42, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

• Support, grandfathered in as an older article (to closer:the suggestion to grandfather in commas in older or feature articles should resolve this, even if I'm alone among the people "voting" - as some closers close these things by counting votes instead of sifting through and understanding discussion points), and that language from the close should really be written into the MOS:JR page/section, can someone please use the close language and add that? Thanks. Randy Kryn 2:35, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose per SMcCandlish. ―Mandruss ☎ 22:19, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

The Superbowl is fictional?

Seriously, if you put an extra table in for stuff like "sung the national anthem at XYZ" you should properly transfer the lines from the general TV category down there. Right now this looks ridiculous with Superbowl and Idol as seemingly "fictional" and the Nascar etc as "non-fictional"...

Young professional career

Harry also played professionally in local jazz clubs while he was under age. The current article makes it sound like he played some before age 18, and then had his "big break" when he was in his 20s. I've looked for sources, but as he was playing in clubs well before the World Wide Web, someone else will have to put in the effort to find references, or I'll have to do it when I have more free time.

Reference issues

Four projects have this as a B-class article. The criteria (#1) states: The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. Any format of inline citation is acceptable:

Considering this, references like IMDb and Film Reference.com, (#2, Not a reliable source for article use; use only for research purposes), are not considered reliable, and should have long been replace by those considered more reliable. Otr500 (talk) 23:44, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
