harry connick jr. “your songs” album giveaway.

Oh Harry. So many people have so many opinions about you.

Take Cody for instance. He didn’t know you could sing. So when he saw your new CD sitting on our kitchen table he said “That guy is trying to be a singer too?”

Now you see, by “that guy” he meant the guy we had just watched as Renée Zellweger’s love interest in that Minnesota movie a few weeks ago, dontchaknow?

And when I think of you I always think of you as Grace’s husband from Will & Grace.

You were a good husband to her, she didn’t deserve you.

But come Christmas time I think of you as that guy whose Christmas album is parked on repeat on my iPod singing your version of “O Holy Night” to me. It’s a toss up between your version and Celine’s for my favorite holiday song.

But let’s take a little gander at this new album of yours.

Honestly Harry? No one can croon the way you do. Sure there’s other posers out there, but you Harry? Are irreplaceable. And here you are singing all these classical standards making me swoon all over again.

Want to win Harry’s new album? A soundtrack for any grown up dinner party or my personal favorite, getting ready for a hot date soundtrack. Leave me a comment and let me know if you like Harry better as a singer or an actor. Or both? Or maybe you didn’t even know he did either, or that it was the same guy.

Comments off.

[...] swoon! clicky clicky here for the details if you’re interested. [...]

I’d like a free copy! I like Harry and this track list is very interesting to me. I’m a fan of almost all the originals so I’d like to hear his interpretation.

oooohh Harry. I was the nerdy kid listening to Harry Connick Jr when I was in jr high. then when I worked a cd store and ‘Come By Me’ came out, I got to take home the big HCJ cutout. I love him as a singer, and I agree, he was too good for Grace!

Random integer generator, PLEASE pick number 2!

I loved HC Jr in P.S. I Love You. But his voice rocks too. He even tops Michael Bublé. And for me, that’s hard to do.

P.S., I meant #4

I enjoy him as both a singer AND an actor! My mom really likes him, too, and her birthday is a-comin’!

That just depends on whether you’re talking crazy psycho killer with red hair acting or the wooing Sandra Bullock with slow dancing acting.

Christmas is not Christmas without Harry singing to me.

P.S. Didn’t he cheat on Grace? Not sayin’ it’s a deal-killer, after all I forgave Ben for cheating on Felicity.

Heck, I’ll take him any way you’re offering. I {heart} Harry.

SINGER.
I met Harry once when I was like a freshman in high school. He signed my poster and I swooned. He was very kind. And short. But very kind.

Why yes I WOULD like to win this CD. I’d also like 5 minutes alone with him. Something tells me I have a MUCH better chance at the CD.

singer. My love affair with his voice goes back a long way. mmmmmmmm, harry.

I LOVE Harry Connick jr…his Christmas CD is my favorite, even tops Celine Dion’s. I would LOVE to win that CD!!

Singer! I love his voice!!

I’ve LOVED Harry for years….I so prefer him as a singer…..melty….

I like him better as a singer, but as an actor (for me) he will always be Justin Matisse from Hope Floats.

I actually like him better as an actor, not because I don’t like his singing, but sometimes I don’t like the choice of songs. (But I like the songs on this list!) And I liked that Minnesota movie.

But my husband… now HE loves HCJ’s music. In fact, that’s one of the things that got our relationship going – we were longdistance, and he used to sing songs off one of HCJ’s cd’s to me as we fell asleep on the phone together. (Yes, you read that right. We would talk all into the night, and some mornings I would wake up and the lines would still be connected; we could say good morning to each other. I’ll pause a moment while you wipe a tear, or gag, whichever.)

So yeah. Thanks for the giveaway chance.

I like harry as both a singer and an actor. I have always loved his music, but hope floats won me over as a fan of his acting!

I like him best as a singer. For sure.

However, I will also take my Harry anyway I can get him.

And just for fun…my all time favorite quote from Hope Floats…

Bernice Pruitt: At home we had a pet skunk. Mama used to call it Justin Matisse. Do you think thats just a coincidence? All day
long she would to scream, “You stink Justin Matisse!” Then one day
she just picked up a club and killed it.

Justin Matisse: Now that’s a sad story.

Bernice Pruitt: Yeah, if you liked the skunk, which we didn’t.

)

Singer!!!! LOVE his Christmas album!

Both. Love. Him.

Singer, for sure.

However, I’ll take him in a movie too. Hubba hubba.

I love both his singing and his acting! Can’t go wrong with either.

I like him every which way… (oh! did I say that out loud?)

Singer! I like him as a singer!

xoxo

Do I have to pick? I really love him as a singer. I enjoy watching him as an actor…but really he is better as a singer.

Funny. I was just thinking about Harry yesterday. I have been listening to him since I was a kid. I much prefer him as a singer but I don’t hate him as an actor!

I love him as a singer. I love the style of music he sings…. so nostalgic.

HOTTT! Acting, singing, he’s talented as both….and HOTTT!

My first experince with HCJ was as a singer, so that’s definitely my favorite.

Decisions decisions. I love me some HCJ in any form I can get him. The music is great, but what a feast for the eyes!
Thanks for the chance to win

Cody’s comment makes me giggle, because I remember watching Independence Day and saying, “Gee, HCJ can act too?!” I wore the crap out of my (ahem) cassette of When Harry Met Sally back in the day. Of course I upgraded to the soundtrack on CD. His voice is gorgeous. His Xmas CDs are my fave holiday songs. He could sing the phonebook and I would totally listen!

My favorite is in Hope Floats when he is leaning against the truck at the end of the movie with flowers…((drool)).

I love him as an actor and a crooner.

I loved him in Hope Floats, back before I knew he was a singer (was only about 13 then). Then I discovered jazz and oh man…gimmee gimmee!

I’ve loved him as a singer since I was a teenager. The acting I can take or leave (but will most likely take just to look at him some more)

Harry can do no wrong. But seriously, Singer. that voice…. swoon!

I love him whatever he’s doing!!!! : )

I like Harry best in my dreams. He could sing, act, conduct, play the piano, wash my car, change diapers, or shovel manure and I’d like him.

I’m all tingly thinking about this prize!!! PICK ME PICK ME!!!

Ohhhh, love his music and who can resist those eyes!

I love his Christmas music. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I heard him sing, but I do like his acting too.

Ever since the did the soundtrack for When Harry Met Sally, I was smitten!

He was a crazy psycho in a movie with Sigourney Weaver that scared me. I’ll take him just singing, thanks!

The singing, the acting, the good looks! I think he may be married…but I can still listen!

I <3 Harry! But, I think I love him best as a singer…I mean after all when I picture him, in that way I do, I'm ok with him singing, but the rest had better not be an act! *Crossing my fingers* I hope I win!

Actor – Do you remember him in Memphis Belle? No wonder he married Jill Goodacre

LOVE HIM! Loved him in Hope Floats with Sandra Bullock and love his Christmas album too. He’s talented all-around…Did you know he did the soundtrack to ‘When Harry Met Sally’. *sigh

I also love to see him interviewed…he has a great sense of humor and he is a family man, which just adds to the sex appeal (I am married, but I can still swoon, right??).

I like Harry as both a singer and and actor…and would love him as my personal slave!

I love him as an actor & singer. I fell for him in Memphis Belle. He was so cute, and then he sang! Wow-za!!

I would love to win. I love Harry as a singer and an actor. We have at least one song on our wedding video of him. I thought that movie was a pretty cute flick.

I would love this album! The track list are all great songs…I can’t wait to hear the Billy Joel song! Harry is great either way!

I didn’t know he was a singer either, until very recently. Apparently he’s better at music than he is at acting, or so I hear from the in-the-know people. I would love to hear him sing more, he’s quite hot!

I only new him as a singer until I saw Hope Floats. He was also on Broadway in the revival of Pajama Game– and he was BRILLIANT!

I’ll take Harry anyway I can have him. He’s delish!

May the force be with me. And Harry.

And, I clearly cannot spell. Its KNEW not new.

{palms face}

Definitely as a singer…although he makes my heart beat fast in Hope Floats.

I’ve loved Harry since my older cousin came and lived with us while I was in high school and she was in college. I think he’s a super talented singer and very easy on the eyes on the big screen, oh I’m going to have to Netflix a movie with him in it right now!!

Singing. For me, preferably.

I think the first movie I saw Harry in was Little Man Tate, and I thought he did a much better job than his wife did in that one episode of Friends where she’s stuck in the bank lobby with Chandler. I love that he makes movies, too, but I much prefer to listen to him sing.

I personally like his as both. Call it a guilty pleasure, but I love Hope Floats. I’ll take him any way I can get him.

I love him as a singer! I’m glad that there is someone to represent a simple, straight forward singing style of past decades. His arrangements of songs are really interesting but still fit the style very well.

I like Harry as both. I like his voice as a singer, and I really like his face as an actor. Harry Connick Jr. was fisrt celebrity crush at the ripe old age of 6. And he looks just as handsome to me now as he did those 20 years ago.

I like Harry as both, but probably better as an actor because I have to disagree with the statement, “No one can croon better than Harry.” He is a great singer, but I’d say Michael Buble is better. Even so, I love me some Harry!

I love, love, love Harry Connick Jr. I think he would be the best if he were singing in a movie–best of both worlds.

um, wow. i’ve loved harry since i saw him in hope floats.

Both. I swoon every time I see him Hope Floats in that dancing scene. Hurt me. He is so lovely!

I like him as both actually. I remember first seeing him in Hope Floats… he’s a looker!

Both. Love Harry. Listen to his Christmas album every year, repeatedly!

I like him as both….might lean a little more toward singer though….and his Christmas cd is definitely on repeat at my house *swoon* is right!

Like you, I like him both ways.

I think it was in 2001 that I took one of those fly-for-a-day trips to Naw’Leans for a mid-night in Mardi Gras and accidently ran into Harry Connick Jr. literally ! on the street in front of a hotel ! There was lots of revelry, he was with a big party, and like the tourists we were, my friends and I were looking up, not watching where we were going-and BAM – smacked right into him!

Now, I’m old enough to be his mother, and although I appreciated his courtesy and graciousness – I would have much rather twisted my ankle, had him take me up to his room to put ice on it and then heat up everything else ! I’m a big fan.

I loved him as a singer first, but then ohhhhh to see him on screen!!! swoooon!!!

Well he’s easy on the eyes, so I certainly don’t mind looking at him when he’s on screen! But *swwwwoooooonnn* I love a man who can sing! So I prefer listening to him crooning.

I love him more as a singer! I used to have all his albums until my car was broken into in college and all my CDs were stolen! But that voice! You haven’t lived until you’ve heard him sing “If I Only Had a Brain” from The Wizard of Oz!

I fell in love with Harry in H.S. when Red Light, Blue Light came out. Our wedding song was “It had to be you” from When Harry met Sally movie. I love him as an actor. He makes me melt with his songs.

I don’t think I could pick which one I like him as best! He’s dreamy and entertaining no matter what he does!

I love, love, love his singing — any type of songs. But especially his Christmas ones. I, too, have his CD on repeat during the holiday season every year.
He’s also a good actor, so I enjoy that, too!

I love Harry so much that I took my 3 week-old baby to a concert to see him!!! I can’t wait to hear it!

Harry was a singer first and will always be a singer rather than an actor to me.

I like him sooooo much better as a singer!

I like him best as eye candy!

Both! I started listening to his music many years ago-maybe the first time I watched “When Harry Met Sally”? And, I have seen every movie and show he’s been in (except Copycat, that was too weird to sit through). Seen him sing in concert and I have to say, that is my favorite-up close and personal, singing “just for me.” Swoon

I ADORE HCJ! I used to be a super fan — member of his fan club, made a bunch of friends from his fans’ message board, was an extra in one of his movies, saw him doing a taping of Will & Grace — but have let too many other things get in the way. I need to reconnect with Harry. I love his music AND his acting. I sooo need this album.

I just love Harry Connick Jr. in every way. He has been great on tv and he sings beautifully.
I would love the album.

Sue

I love Harry Connick Jrs music… he has that perfect end of the day relaxing in a hot bath feel but he even works as great background music to any ****tail party! I’d love to check out his new cd!

I’d love a CD! I knew him long before Will & Grace and the acting, but boy oh boy, I don’t mind. Lovely in ANY way!

I cannot pick. I love him as both – but I’d love to win this as I need some good ideas for the Father/Daughter dance at my wedding.

Um, when I got my first CD player, Harry Connick Jr.’s ablbum “25″ was the first CD I purchased.

I love his voice, so I have to vote for him as a singer over an actor. And he ain’t bad to look at, either.

I would have to say the question isn’t really Harry as an actor vs Harry as a singer. Singer wins hands down. The real question is Harry as a singer vs Harry as a pianist. His voice is good – almost Sinatra-esque. But watching him tickle the ivories .. . That’s really where he rocks.
