Norah Jones?


Like probably many other A-Gon members I'm a sucker for great female voices. Of course being recorded well is a priority to feed my audiophile addiction. When I read threads recommending great female voices and recordings I rarely see anyone mentioning Norah Jones. I happen to think her music is excellent and very well recorded. I'm just wondering what the audiophile community thinks of her. With that said please keep the music tips coming. I have picked up alot of great cd's due to suggestions from this forum.

Yeah, I've never understood her appeal. Or the Grammys.

She always sounded like she was singing with not enough lubrication in her vocal chords or something. Very boring to listen to and even more boring to watch. She's probably even worse in the sack!

Before you go into the studio to record your next album, make sure to bring along the Riccola.
I really liked her but once I got the second disc and the Peter Malick disc I have to agree that it is all the same. She has no range. It is kind of like Ana Difranco. Very nice at first but then the same guitar strumming on every song really wears on you. Nora has done great things for the recording industry and the interest in jazz.

Try Katie Melua's [i]Call Off the Search[/i] if you like Nora Jones.
Norah Jones is oneof those I just don't get. If she comes on while I'm driving I have to turn her off as she is instant nap time. Seriously, I could not keepmy eyes open through her first release.
Not the greatest voice, but there's something about it. Songs are interesting and catchy. Maybe a little ho hum, but there's something about them. She is dull in concert, but she, still, radiates a sweetness and nice energy. There's just something about her. Imagine; 25 years old, and she (the year she one the Grammy) earned $25 mil...I like her tunes. and her voice..Billy Holiday had no range, as well....Yeah, I know, she ain't no Billy Holiday, but she does what she can in that limited range...and she's adorable...like to see her lose the jeans and try on some 4 inch pumps...Audiogon enui, does it all the time. I don't like to pick on her...there's just something about her...
OK, Warren.

If she were to heed your advice, I might warm up to her. I never really thought of her in CFMs, but that could change my opinion entirely. She is pretty. Spikes and fishnets might propel her into sexy.

Just don't mention Ravi Shankar around her.
