Oh he absolutely is. And in fairness, he has kind of earned it.
By that I just mean that when someone knows their business better than most and they have the credicials and the success to back it up, they are kind of entitled to come from a place of knowing what they are talking about.
Now I don't like arrogance in general. When it comes from someone like Niki where it is unwarranted and undeserved it is just obnoxious.
But assuming that Streisand or D.Foster or Cher or Madonna is going to have an arrogance to them is expected.
They are artists, not humanitarians and not ettiquite instructors.
I guess what I am saying is that I accept it sometimes with some cause they are who they are and they are entitled to be what they want. And I can just choose to ignore the arrogance.
It is arrogance and entitlement that is not earned that annoys me.
That said; yes, I imagine that Connick Jr. is going to be a bit off putting in the same way that Simon was.
And I can't wait. I really do want someone to tell these people in an unbiased way when they are doing well and when they are doing poorly.
And you need someone who has that strength of self and assurance of their own words to have that.
Jlo in many ways has that, but it bothers me to hear her talk about singers who are so much better vocalists than she could ever be.
If she were on SYTYCD I would probably accept what she has to say. But to listen to her talk to vocalists about singing????? What does she know about singing?? At her age she still has to take all her clothes off and wiggle around on stage sticking her butt at the camera to keep our attention.
