He's def the best judge on Idol. He actually judges based on actual musical skill. Quantifiable musical skill. and he's blunt and honest without necessarily being rude. PLUS i love his singing
As much as I love Ellen, I find it a little bit irritating that she values her own opinion so much more than others, and even though it isn't about who's right or who's wrong, I wish she wouldn't force her own opinion onto others so strongly. Harry is a musician and has been for such a long time, so he wouldn't have just said no to someone for the sake of it.
I didn’t realize how lucky I was to be on the crew for in San Francisco, American Idol when Harry Connick Junior was the judge and his positive criticism of every single contest paint was spot on, and so genuinely engaged that I was so enamored with his ability to engage and construct each person‘s performance, it was enlightening.
Harry Connick Jr has to be my favourite judge since Simon. I feel like a lot of the newer judges are more focused on ass kissing and refuse to speak the truth. It's understandable though with popular artists with large fan bases--I can imagine how many fans they'd "lose" if they were as harsh as Simon was lol. But that's definitely why this show has gone down hill. Hopefully someone with actual guts like Harry will change that.
How funny is Harry Connick Jr on the show? I saw him a few years back when he was a mentor to the contestants on Idol and I thought he was really funny and I liked his personality.
Ellen can text " what is wrong with you " to Harry Connick Jr. looks like she is so close to lots of great people. i mean Hollywood people. which is lovely
***** I mean that she is so close to actor/ actress /singer " in general people in Hollywood" who are really down to earth, kind,most compassionate like Harry Connick, Jr and many more.
It's so easy for white people to say that it doesn't matter what colour you are when they're the ones who aren't discriminated against. I wish life was easy for ethnic minorities, yet the truth is we still face discrimination. Definitely not as much as before, but you can't say that racism has been completely removed from society.
I think Ellen's help did the 28 though. Not entirely on her own i feel. So it's a blessing in disguise for her, actually, to be rejected. BUT having said that, she's indeed amazing.
Best top 13 ever? My ass. One of the worst year I'd say. Some are really good but none are amazing or interesting to watch. Gonna be a boring year again my guess.
I like Jessica fo sho, and I thought that she should have made it to Hollywood week, BUT I will say that she could have come stronger for her audition. Her styling and energy were great for Ellen. She should have come to her audition the same way. First impressions are important and Harry didn't feel a confident vibe coming from her.
LMAO Best Top 13 lmao I'm dying. I can name the top 13 from whatever season Phillip Phillip was on...I think Season 11. Between that and season 3 were good. They should have picked that feminine man on the show Emmanuel. He was really good and had character. Briana Oakley should have been picked as well. Oh well. This year, like seasons 4-10 and 12 won't be getting ratings from my home
Agreed. Although, Season 10? Casey Abrams, James Durbin, Haley Reinhart? Honestly, Seasons 10 & 11 were the only good ones for me in terms of contestants. The two seasons with Steven Tyler brought a lot of talent. (whether coincidentally or not)
Typhoon792 I thought season 10 had a lot of great talent. I missed season 11 so I'm going to download it since you've said it's worth watching. Thanks for that.
Never said I didnt like him. He was awesome. The only thing I remeber from that season was him and the duet he did with the red head girl. I think her name was Alison. Also I think that was the year they did Michael Jackson tribute the first or second show in. That was an ok season. Each season has one or two people I may like but I only keep up with Idol to see if my favorites are still on there. After Hollywood week I stop watching really. Season 11 to me was made up of all my favorites so that's why I stayed glued to the tv.
Idol just needs to be cancelled and put out of its misery. I tried watching, but it is so unbearably boring and it is painful to see what they have to do to make things just a little bit interesting.
american idol got old and boring when paula abdul was at her last year in the panel many years ago...then the show got interesing in the beginning to people because nicki minaj was a judge and she was really huge at that time people would just watch to see what she does...then when they went live it was the same boring show with cliche contestants that have no personality that can match kelly,ruben,carrie...now its just an invisible show that only exists in word and our minds. does anybody even watch idol anymore
I have nothing against to the guy ppl, but there's something that i will never gonna understand about them, and is why do they have to be announcing the world that they are guy, I mean I'm a woman n nobody sees me creaming "Hey I'm a woman" After all it no matter whats your sexual preference, what really matters is that u r happy with your self. Just saying!
I don't hate him but I think he gets a little obnoxious and tries to take over the show. My favorite is Keith Urban, he is so talented and knows music from so many angles.
He's def the best judge on Idol. He actually judges based on actual musical skill. Quantifiable musical skill. and he's blunt and honest without necessarily being rude. PLUS i love his singing
he's hot
+Shandy Gillan omg what are you, 11? 😂😂

Exactly. I agree
Harry is such a good judge, I hope they keep him for other seasons
Well, its good to have Harry on the Judge panel, he really is strict

I can't believe American Idol still exists... Lol.

:D And that's why I respect Harry so much, been learning more about him the last couple days and what a wonderful guy he is!!!
I just love the way he talks

Great to see him on your show. Loved it. Thanks.
:) And that's why he's so respected, love what he said about MKay
HARRY IS A GREAT JUDGE!!!! I actually agreed with his comments at auditions a lot!
He's great regardless :)
Jessica Bassett is an incredible songstress. good energy, great lyrics, and she's phenomenal LIVE!
Did anyone else hear sirens towards the end of this video???
You mean does anyone else live in NYC?
Ellen you HAVE to get Mk Nobilette to sing on your show! She's truely amazing and an inspiration to many in the lgbt community. Love you Ellen!
She was definitely quoting Arrested Development with "I've made a huge mistake."
Love,love,love Harry Connick Jr..not to brag(OK,maybe a little) but my BF looks alot like him..he can't sing like him,but he does look like him :)
Name two people you know that has a Harry Conick Jr. Cd...
i have several.
I just adore Harry. Some say he tries to be like Simon...NOT TRUE...Harry has ALWAYS been like this but he really is a good guy...just very honest!
Best judge on American Idol is Keith Urban. Keith tries to help with advice for the young auditioners.
LOVE LOVE HARRY
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE KEITH URBAN !!!!
Ai is amazing this year.

Yes heard the siren too BUT I like Harry on the show and I value his experience as a judge but his comedy is brilliant
I LOVE HARRY CONNICK JR'S TV DAYTIME TALK SHOW CALLED "Harry" WEEKDAYS ON NBC!!! 💛💙💚
such an amazing man! xoxo
Inviting him every damn week won't help the ratings for American Idol Ellen!
1:55 had me burst out laughing
I love Harry! :) The only time I didn't agree with him is when he said no to that one girl.
I think Ellen's help did the 28 though. Not entirely on her own i feel. So it's a blessing in disguise for her, actually, to be rejected. BUT having said that, she's indeed amazing.
they say its the best top 13 every year
It's okay everyone has to be critical in this world
Random fire truck sirens hahah
I like Harry he's got a great musical mind but I think I'll always miss Simon.
Wooh MK!!!!!
Love him!
Best top 13 ever? My ass. One of the worst year I'd say. Some are really good but none are amazing or interesting to watch. Gonna be a boring year again my guess.
i LOVE this cause my name is alison
Why top 13?! We haven't got to 13 yet
I know...that was a spoiler alert that they didn't catch. OOPS!
I think this week they whittle it down to the top 13 and then we get to vote.
yes! love mk!
Love Harry!&&&&&ELLEN!!!:)
Can somebody tell me why people don't watch American Idol anymore? Is it really just because of Simon Cowell?
I like Jessica fo sho, and I thought that she should have made it to Hollywood week, BUT I will say that she could have come stronger for her audition. Her styling and energy were great for Ellen. She should have come to her audition the same way. First impressions are important and Harry didn't feel a confident vibe coming from her.
I'm only watching idol because of Harry.
Only reason to watch for me is harry c Jr. This year's " talent" socks cheese balls
LMAO Best Top 13 lmao I'm dying. I can name the top 13 from whatever season Phillip Phillip was on...I think Season 11. Between that and season 3 were good.

This year, like seasons 4-10 and 12 won't be getting ratings from my home
You don't think Adam Lambert is good? I mean wouldn't you judge a season largely on whether it has amazing talent like him?
Agreed. Although, Season 10? Casey Abrams, James Durbin, Haley Reinhart? Honestly, Seasons 10 & 11 were the only good ones for me in terms of contestants. The two seasons with Steven Tyler brought a lot of talent. (whether coincidentally or not)

Take that Mr. Putin!

Love you Ellen
he's hot
Dr. Leo. Marcus. Always. and. Forever.
Best top 13 ever? Uhm, you can't tell me anyone there can compare to Candice Glover, last season's winner.
In other words the producers made then say no, ft this extra media coverage
3:10 Sounds like J.Lo
american idol got old and boring when paula abdul was at her last year in the panel many years ago...then the show got interesing in the beginning to people because nicki minaj was a judge and she was really huge at that time people would just watch to see what she does...then when they went live it was the same boring show with cliche contestants that have no personality that can match kelly,ruben,carrie...now its just an invisible show that only exists in word and our minds. does anybody even watch idol anymore
Name two top 40 stations that play Harry Connick music. So who is he ???
I have nothing against to the guy ppl, but there's something that i will never gonna understand about them, and is why do they have to be announcing the world that they are guy, I mean I'm a woman n nobody sees me creaming "Hey I'm a woman"
After all it no matter whats your sexual preference, what really matters is that u r happy with your self. Just saying!
Well Said but I'm sure its not the best season ever , I mean after I saw Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet , I mean Come on Harry :)
So Idol still exist huh?
I thought last year was better
She's the new Miley cyrus
Am I the only one who hates Harry as a judge? I really don't like his decisions and choices.
I don't hate him but I think he gets a little obnoxious and tries to take over the show. My favorite is Keith Urban, he is so talented and knows music from so many angles.
He's such a poop-pants!
Harry is a jerk sometimes
1:55 Ellen suuuuucks.
havent liked much of this season's contestant.
ya ya.blah blah. stupid excuse.
