Now where . . . Ah-HA! Children in Need. I saw his performance, but I
don't remember whether I liked it or not. That's usually not a good
sign.


I didn't say he was good, its just the present competition though I suppose
its good to try and support home grown talent. Personally I don't think
either of 'em gets close to Harry Connick Jnr.
Don't say 'Who?'


To my ears, Harry Connick Jnr. makes Christmas music. I like some of
it, but it's not always Christmas in heaven; I couldn't, I'm afraid,
sit and listen seriously to one of his albums. I did sit and listen to
Jamie's album and I really, really enjoyed it.

I am beginning to gather that Jamie is a somewhat controversial
artist. The traditionalists and music snobs find his 'dumbing down' of
the classics highly offensive. Good. **** 'em.
