Let me know if you want on or off the 24 ping list too!
Harry Connick Jr.’s shoulder-ride for a young “American Idol” audience member during Wednesday’s (April 9) performance episode got plenty of attention. Some viewers (including more than half of the respondents in the poll on this post) deemed his actions inappropriate. Others thought it was fine.
“I am writing to set the record straight for both Harry AND my daughter Nicole,” wrote Javier in a statement forwarded to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune by “American Idol.” “We had the experience of a lifetime visiting ‘American Idol.’ Harry went into the audience and noticed that my little girl was shorter than everyone else around her and she could not see the stage or the singers. He very kindly asked her if she could see and she said no. He asked her if she wanted him to put her on his shoulders so she could see — Harry is a father of three girls and this is something dads do every day! I was there, and as a mom with keen mom instincts, I can assure you there was nothing wrong with this. Everyone in our section felt the same way. We were all screaming with excitement. He's such a kind man and I didn't feel uncomfortable in any way. Nicole is not accustomed to all the cameras and lights of live TV, but I know she felt very safe with Harry. We are huge ‘American Idol’ fans in our family and had the best time being part of the show in such a fun way.”
That woman sounds like the moms who used to drop their sons off at Michael Jackson’s place to party.

Well then that settles it. The mom OK’d it.
Thanks for that info. I really thought it had to be something like that.
