She's probably not used to people belittling her. I bet she was furious behind the scenes.

Or 10

everyone knows she doesnt even sing her own songs

@@daffo595 well her ghost singer is trash too lol

Tsssch u know too damn much 🫳🏽🫳🏽

I’m mean it’s just Jenny from the block..lmao 🤣 and she wants to argue with Harry..

He's been a hero for decades. Real musical talent from New Orleans.

@@santinabellydanceamazing entertainer and really funny

that's because she's an ignorant b**** who can't sing. Lol 🤣

Twice!

Ain’t that every woman though?

True privilege and delusion.

So that 50 million females who lack what she has can act just as entitled as she does.

he knows basic music theory too lol, shows talent isnt what makes you famous in America

Yeah, but I bet they waved a big fat check at him and he said "Sure, why not".

Shit, any musician knows this simple first grade mucic theory.

...which is exactly why he's needed!

@@auntjenifer7774 Not Jennifer Lopez.

Hail bacchus!

Proverbs 23:9? Or did you just hear that somewhere else? Or did you make it up, 'cause if so, your quite right.

pfffffffffffffttt

Narcissists will ALWAYS interrupt, mock, cajole, or otherwise brush off deep understanding and thorough intelligence about ANY subject. And why? SIMPLE. I mean, just listen to her. SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. And there is a lesson taught in the first book of my series--by the villain, no less: "Never interrupt what you do not understand. EVER." --Nitrozite Jennifer Lopez could learn by listening to BOTH Harry Connick Jr. *and* Nitrozite. 💪😎✌️ One is a Ghost Dragon, though. Slightly more intimidating, but both are more intelligent. 😂 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨

Her imposter syndrome got outed and she got freaked.

She is crap on the best of days

This reminds me of a liberal and a conservative debating. The conservative (connick) points out a fact and the liberal (lopez) can only respond emotionally.

Because he's making her look dumb

You were able to assume their political views, by a simple conversation about music. And aren’t liberals more educated than conservatives?

Not damning at all , it just reinforces the knowledge that a lot of us had all along that she is a talentless hack !!!!!!

Not talentless.. just spoiled with looks and being ignorant.

Careful, Jeff, the 'racist' card is about to be pulled by some snowflake.....lol

J Lo can’t sing so I wasn’t really surprised by her response lmao

She's a talentless hack lol.

+RiteofWriters Buy his album She. It's my favorite album of all time by any artist ever. LOVE it!!!

nah Blue Light, Red Light is better

@@alexanderleeart They are completely different genres of music, though. "Blue Light, Red Light" had a big band ensemble backing him, and "She" had a funk band backing him. "Blue Light, Red Light" got me into Harry Connick, Jr, and I still listen to it on the regular, but I also have "She" in the rotation just as much. I love them both and would never be able to put on above the other. I've also seen Harry Connick, Jr multiple times over the years performing with his big band, quartet, and even a full-blown orchestra, but my favorite concert of his that I've ever been to was when he was touring with his funk band in support of "She" and "Star Turtle" back in the mid-90's. They were just mind-blowingly awesome, and Harry was able to do a lot more spontaneous and improvised music with that type of band. It's a shame he has never wanted to revisit that era of his music. I'd pay so much money to be able to see him with that funk band again!

This is EXTREMELY basic stuff. Pentatonics is level 1 knows knowledge. But you’ve been led to believe it’s all about message and simple melody. Not about music.

Not to mention saying 7 notes is SEVERELY dumbed down for her. That’s 1 Western Scale, out of 10’s. And only Western music.

I 100% agree! He gave the show culture, as I would call it. Such a shame he’s not on it any more

I love Harry! I am sure Keith knows his music theory... Have you heard him play?

musicmaestrodj Funny story. A band I was in opened for Keith back when he first broke in the scene. I have a pic of our little trailer next to his huge bus.

...becuz he didn't know either.

@@MANHATTANBEEFMAN I think Keith is a good enough guitarist to know what a pentatonic scale is.

@@connorcampbell5551 How many are coming to Urban shows vs. Connick? Stating obvious, but it’s about the song, always will be. Urban has songs more people want to hear. Connick is a technician. Great. That’s his thing apparently. Still I’m on board with riffing. Empty riffs are just that.

So true. He wanted to educate...

How dare you highlight the fact that Harry IS a virtuoso!!!! AND JLO is just a lucky dancer that can sing in tune 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Harry is a MAESTRO and as a musician myself (classical vocalist) I have the UTMOST respect for his indubitable MUSICIANSHIP!!!!!

With pop stars only a basic standard for talent is necessary. As long as you look the part, producers and composers will make up for any shortcomings.

NickBlevinsGuitar I think he was just trying to explain it and give context in a way that Lopez would understand

NickBlevinsGuitar His explanation was actually perfect and 100% correct. He said there are 12 chromatic notes, and that the pentatonic scale is FIVE of those twelve notes. And that they are the five most consonant and melodious notes from the chromatic scale. 99% of the vocal runs you hear from Christina Aguilera to Aretha Franklin are based on that scale.

Robert Langslet Any student of music uses the term Chromatic pitches as notes outside of the home key area, so any tonal music will have 7 pitches in the scale it's based off and 5 chromatic pitches. But why even mention chromatic pitches if the scale he's trying to explain doesn't contain any? That doesn't make any sense. And I wasn't arguing that singers don't use pentatonic scales in their vocal runs. I was just stating everyone claiming this guy knows his shit when he clearly is just tossing around vague concepts he doesn't have a clear understanding of. (Major Pentatonic scale= Do Re Mi So La Do)

NickBlevinsGuitar Are you seriously suggesting that one of the most famous and skilled jazz musicians of our time doesn't know what he's talking about when describing a pentatonic scale? A man who arranges music for his band? Who has been reading music since childhood? He mentioned the 12 notes of western music because Jlo seemed confused and he wanted to start from the basics. He went on to say that a pentatonic scale is the 5 most sonorous notes out of the 12, and the most common notes used in fast scalar motion by singers and jazz musicians. Is that wrong? Do you know something he doesn't?

Stephen Leacock Clearly this man listens to a lot of jazz.^ /sarcasm

This is the reason why Harry has been so successful for so long. He knows his S#}£. 😃

Davina Lord any idiot musician knows this

+Beantown Swing Orchestra Make that worldwide

+Ping Pong you'll be surprised dude. i met many pro musicians who don't know this.

He's the only credible judge that any of these "music" shows has ever had. TV should enrich culture. But these singing shows take one of the most difficult disciplines out there and says, "you don't have to know anything about it, to do it." It's embarrassing, and insulting to the musicians who struggle to find work in America, or leave the country to find work. It's like saying, "you don't have to go to law school, to be a lawyer....you can just come off the street and do it." For musicians, this show is incredibly stupid and frustrating. I think that the majority of the population represents J.Lo's attitude. You know nothing about music, but can't accept the fact that you know nothing about it. :) Harry is way more tactful than I would be....almost all of these contestants shouldn't be anywhere near a stage....and these "judges" know next to nothing, and have no business judging singers. I could literally record myself and just play it back for every contestant: "it sounds terrible. go to school, study voice, learn your theory, take lessons, learn how to practice, PRACTICE, then come back in about 10 years. :) People need to stop calling this industry "music." It's NOT music. It's entertainment.

That sums up the state of the music industry right there....

Yet she’s sold more albums than all of the folks who are music theory experts.

@@JK-vc7ie - exactly. Lowest common denominator

Jimmy Clip you are confusing the entertainment business with something very different. It always was this way.

Is this a show about how to audition for music school or to see if you can entertain?

She stole most of the music she sang and when she actually sing its a horrible job

At least she has her looks to rely on

Cancel culture in a nutshell.

Story of JLo’s life right there

The best bit of that clip is the drummer behind him in pain because it's all he can hear so, when Connick drops in the extra beat, and moves everyone's clapping, he punches the air in celebration. 🤣

Here's the video w/explanation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/as6JjMqrkqeue4k.html

I just saw that vid today ( probably why this one was in my recommend) it was some really great stuff

@@CreamySpoon Thanks.

Nothing like a bar of 5/4 to fix a room full of white people

John, you have said it the best!

Of which Jennifer Lopez has an abundance of.

Man they seem to get more aggressive every year!

It's the American way.

They did that for the TV. AI is still a tv SHOW. That's their bit they were doing there..trying to emulate what Simon & Paula used to do on the show... Just chill everyone..they were only tryinna make the show more engaging. 🤷‍♂️

LOL

lmfao

Good one, sir!😂😂😂

That was hilarious. Well done.

😂

She can't even sing! Or act! Dance...maybe yeah. All she is famous for is her ass. Personally, I don't think she's that pretty... InThe face... It's all just ass.

You are right. She was too busy selling albums and having massive success and making millions in the music business. What a fool she is.

@@JK-vc7ie lol what a pathetic idea of success you have

Pop music is a craft? Nice joke bro if i could make a statistical approaximation of beats which would make sense to the mind of an average person i would get pop.

@@sriyansh1729 Of course it's a craft. It's not a particularly inspiring one but it's not a cakewalk, it takes quite a bit of know-how on the musicians' end. Plenty of pop songs are and were quite good too, though there are many bland and uninspired ones.

How would it be anything but? After they gave UTTERLY INTOXICATED American youth to think it’s about Lyrics and Message and Simple Melodies and NOTHING to do with music.

What he’s talking about is Level 1 stuff. Extremely Basic. But it’s rocket science to her.

Yer GAEDAEMN right. 😎

Maybe he does know too much and can’t relax long enough to play by feel without overthinking the crap out of it.

Shane Dial nah he’s really not explaining anything too technical or crazy, pentatonics are first year music theory. J-Lo just thinks that because she never bothered to actually learn anything.

@@DontLetTheOldManIn you’ve got to listen to his music. He’s not at all lacking in feel or swing or emotion. Don’t get me wrong. Love Jennifer Lopez, who wouldn’t? (Alex Rodriguez, there’s something deeply wrong with you)

@@DontLetTheOldManIn or maybe you don't know anything about him either and just felt you had to give an opinion. Maybe.

Yeah, what the hell did they hire a musician for. And unfortunately Connick didn't teach anybody anything because they just don't care. They can't get past the image.

Keith Urban was one of the best studio musicians in LA, and is one of the best guitarist out there. JLO is a dif story.

It explains why I want to hear him sing and not any of the others. Because he can sing. Just belting or guiding or riffing through a song is absolutely irritating and meaningless junk. It isn't singing a song.

“She” is a good album. His live on broadway dvd is excellent

Mr. Harry Connik Jr.

+Jonathan Bengco To love the language (music), you got to be born on the banks of the Mississippi. Stayin by my mama's in slippers an pajamas where there's always something good to eat... Bettin strawberries, honey and cherries, and pecan pies oh so sweet! With a dew rag on my brow... Jasmine, wisteria and Fleur-de-lis... To love the language (music) you got to be born on the banks of the Mississippi!!!

*****=) I feel you brother... I wasn't born there, but I have family roots there and I think it really is something that gets in your soul. I can't explain it.

***** I kinda wondered if anyone would notice if my first comment was actually lyrics from one of Harry's songs, but I kind of doubt anyone will, which is sad, because SHE is my favorite album of all time. I LOVE that soo much.

***** I agree! He is an amazing artist... and an amazing man... After Katrina, didn't he start a musician's village or something like that? Brilliant. He is a really awesome guy... Love him!!! =) And it's really cool to talk to someone who appreciates him, by the way!!!

I was surprised that this show hired a musician, lol :)

This. I started learning to play piano a year ago and I learned about the pentatonic scale in the first week. Fucking hell the standards have never been lower smh

Has jlo ever put out a relevant album of true music or pure singing? No. She's a pop performer, not a musical artist.

Those "music stars" aren't actually musicians. Carry on with your studies.

Ya'll make these WEAK singers who couldn't CREATE a song for the life of them by buying and listening to them. They couldn't play an instrument or do the the audio engineering well another in a LIFETIME, which is where the magic happens. Producers can make ANYONE sound good with the right "plugins" which most people don't have any ideas what I'm talking about. They do know autotune but there's sooooooooo much more effect a vocal take ie compression, eq, saturation, exciters, etc. So ANYONE with the right look can be made to sound good. Though I want REAL music by someone who's DEDICATED to their craft

JWcolour "Its the new generation wohooooo..of PAAaaaarty peopleeeee" "Let.Me.Introduce.You.To.The.Party.People".

sure I'll carry on ;) I wanna know what I sing or play (or listen) eheh

Well do you wanna be a music star or do you wanna be a musician?

What Harry is saying is: Don't try to be flashy without learning the basics. Sing the song as it was written and don't try to over do the delivery. What is the song about and what emotions is it trying to convey instead of look how great I am.

Likewise there are a lot of rock band 'singers' who know plenty about music, but have never taken a singing lesson in their life and it shows.

they make less $$$?

Pop tarts...

@@ArnaudFTW McDonalds makes more money than any other restaurant chain and it's not even close, does that mean you'd rather eat there than have a steak dinner?

@@1missing that was a solid burn

You don’t have to know shit like pentatonic to be a true musician.

Mutated Hexadic Scales of the Supra-Diatonic Scale? Should've gotten Yusef on that show while they still could!

good point Mike

He was flexing and showing off I hated that

@@mysa.relind977 I don’t think he was showing off. There’s an extent to which the runs are there to hide when a voice isn’t that special. And, if you’re going to hang your audition on runs, make them good ones. It’s not that pentatonic can’t be good - there’s a ton of pentatonic playing on the Allman Bros. Album Bothers and Sisters, particularly on Jessica - but it can be boring if you don’t really get what to do with it. And this singer didn’t.

lol yes. vote Trump!

+Alexander Lee Why?

i'm joking. Trump kind of embodies anti-intellectualism in America today

Ah ok - the state of contemporary American politics makes it very hard to distinguish satire from sincere opinion.
