Harry Connick Jr. vs Keane - Who Ya Got?

hey it's keane everyone

One's a middle aged crooner, the other are young bucks from across the pond. They're both playing concerts this month here in LA and we've got tickets for both of em.

Keane is a trio from Sussex and Connick is a Sinatra-fan from Louisiana who married a Victoria Secrets model. Although they're great piano-based artists, neither seem all that street-tough, which is why we ask Who Would Win in a Fight: Keane or Harry Connick Jr.

Write the answer in the comments below and we will pick two random entries. One who picks Harry will get Harry tickets for his show at the Greek on Friday May 18th, and one who picks Keane will get tickets for their show at the Greek this Friday.

Contest ends tomorrow at 4:20pm and we will announce the winner later that night.

Harry!!!!

 

Keane! Tom would hit Harry over the head with his white belt.

 

Um, Harry!! Did you see his physique for the pajama game???

 

Harry would win!

Remember, he stayed behind when Katrina hit New Orleans and helped save those stranded. He's got what it takes to knock down those pretty Brit boys anytime!

 

Simple mathamatics = 3 members of Keane vs 1 Harry....Harry's ass is whumped.

 

Keane! Nawnlins and fame makes one soft and mellow - Keane have that youthful angst going for them.

 

Keane, easy.

But thats if its three on one- otherwise, I'd go Harry. Harry's got that Sinatra/crooner-toughness. Hell, Frank could make these boys cry Rat-Pack Style.

 

harry obviously. all he would have to do is get his piano high enough in the air and let it go while keane is performing. as the great confucius once said, "rock, scissor and paper will always lose to piano..."

 

Harry!

 

Keane ... simply by the numbers

 

Keane would win. Have you seen the size of Toms (the lead singers) head?? One head-butt and Harry would be on his cute little bumbum. --Sorry Tom, I had to say it.

 

KEANE!!!!
Just b/c his name starts with a K. ( what a reason!)

 

Harry has way better hair! I think he wins on that alone.

 

My man Connick would win--he's got soul...(And as Billy Joel would say, "It's ALL about SOUL!")...Soul of New Orleans, the soul of countless prodigy pianists (Booker, anyone?) that taught Harry when he was just a wee little one, and soul from decades worth of fans... Not that I feel strongly about this or anything! :)

 

without a doubt Harry, because it's not really 3 against 1. harry's got a huge band that would rip keane brand new ass holes. :)

 

Many of you are under the impression that Harry Conick Jr. is such a rugged man, with his growling voice and side curled smile, that he could beat up a n angry mob in central park, but Keane, from what I understand through a mutual friend, are no spring chicks. He has been with them through a couple of bar fights in their native East Sussex and supposedly laid some guys out like crepes suzette. So basically, Keane would win and possibly with only one or 2 of the 3 members.

 

Gotta back Harry!
First the queen comes to the states and now these Brits think they can take down a Boy from the Bayou??? Where's Paul Revere when you need him?

 

Keane wins! ... Harry wouldn't be able to bring himself to beat up a guy with the face of an 8 yr old.

 

keane...because although in movies brits are bad guys in movies and lose to the middle aged guy...

in real life we love the way they speak and act (see keira knightley, james blunt, sienna miller, judi dench)

 

Keane all the way!! Because Tom Chaplin survived booze, coke and rehab and lived to tell about it!

P.S. Please give me the tickets because I love Keane!! :)

 

Tom from Keane could take this guy with one hand tied behind his back.

 

Oh, Harry easily... The guy's been playin' bars on Bourbon Street since he was like, seven! He had to learn a few moves that'd help him take out three scrawny Brits.

 

HARRY...no question. Any boy that has been singin' Sinatra behind a piano since he was 12-years-old knows how to take and give a punch. No matter how many brits you throw at him, Harry's the winner...hands down!

 

Harry! No doubt...He has a lot more street smarts than you think....

 

Keane has a bit of an urban London feel. Who knows what kind of riff-raff, they have encountered....or not.

I'll still go with Keane.

 

Keane...but only if it's the three of them together.

 

Tom would kick Harry's butt! We all know that Tom's thrust is way bigger then Harry's (*wink*wink*)

 

It has to be Keane. Three against one! And it's not just one band member that plays the piano- two of them play.

 

I have to go with Keane...just because it would be three vs. one. Also, I don't think they're as clean cut as they appear to be...

 

of course keane.. the other groups or artist are trash including harry

 

KEANE of course !
I want to see KEANE KEANE KEANE KEANE I'm a Keane Addict

 

Harry wins. The man has sparred with Bob Dylan and you gotta be tough if you're a Saints fan.

 

Harry -- didn't he marry a Victoria's Secret model? And I've seen pictures of him when he was younger. He's a nerd-turned-stud. He gets my vote.
