Harry Connick, Jr. CD Review & Giveaway - CLOSED
I'd never heard Harry Connick, Jr. sing before I received this CD to review from the One 2 One Network. I really like him as an actor so I thought I'd give it a go.
While it's not really my favorite genre of music, I am familiar with most of the songs on this album and found them to be enjoyable to listen to.
My favorites are the songs originally done by Elvis Presley, The Carpenters and The Beatles. I also really liked his version of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.
And while his version of Just The Way You Are is good, I prefer the Billy Joel original by far.
Here is a complete list of all the songs on this album:
All The Way (Frank Sinatra)
Just The Way You Are (Billy Joel)
Can’t Help Falling In Love With You (Elvis Presley)
And I Love Her (The Beatles)
(They Long To Be) Close To You (The Carpenters)
Besame Mucho
The Way You Look Tonight
First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Roberta Flack)
Your Song (Elton John)
Some Enchanted Evening
And I Love You So (Don McLean)
Who Can I Turn To? (Tony Bennett)
Smile (Charlie Chaplin)
Mona Lisa (Nat King Cole)
Your Songs was released on September 22 and is available for purchase.
If you're lucky...you could win a copy from me and the One 2 One Network.

I'd be interested to hear "Just the Way You Are" because I've always loved that song by Billy Joel. I just can't imagine that it sounds as good sung by anyone else!

I grew up listening to Tony Bennett because he was my moms favorite singer, so I like "Who Can I Turn To?". Harry Connick Jr did a great job putting his on touch on this song while still staying true to the classic style of Tony Bennett.
I would like to hear him sing Can't Help Falling In Love With You because I am both an Elvis fan and a Harry Connick Jr. Fan.

'just the way you are' because jazz influenced songs are Connick's forte.

Just the way you are is a great song to begin with, love to hear his spin on it.
My favorite of those songs is The Way You Look Tonight... it's just such a romantic song, and I can't WAIT to hear Harry's version of it.
I'm such a huge fan of HCJ, and have fond memories of getting to see him in concert once.

Hard to pick a favorite, these are all MY kind of songs, maybe All the Way for a favorite
My favorite song here is Close to You. Why? We grew up with this playing in our home, and I love hearing my parents sing it.
I grew up listening to Ol' Blue Eyes with my grandparents, so "The Way You Look Tonight" would do it for me.

"Your Song" was sung at my first wedding - so it is a favorite of mine
You and I have similar taste in music, and my favorite on the list is Can’t Help Falling In Love With You (Elvis Presley). It was played at my wedding, so it has sentimental value. I have seen HC, Jr. twice in concert and loved him both times, he puts on a great show. Thanks for the chance to win.

I'm an old Beatlemaniac so my favorite is And I Love Her (The Beatles). Please accept my entry. Thank you.
Oh I love Harry Connick Jr. I have quite a few of his cds around my apartment actually. In the listing of songs on this cd, I would have to say The Way You Look Tonight is my favorite because it is always that sweet, romantic song that is played in movies and sounds so beautiful.

I love the song Smile. My grandmother used to sing that to me when I was young. It's also one of the few songs that my father ever sang to me because he said he wasn't a singer.
