patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole

DK’s Live in Paris and Girl in the Other Room are not bad. I also liked her album where she paid a tribute to Nat King Cole. But agree the rest is pretty substandard. 

Sometimes when I’m reading a book and listening to music, whenever I reach for the remote to move to a different song, it’s always Holly Cole. Don’t know what’s about her music but I can’t stand to listen to her for more than 30 seconds.

It's her weird phrasing.  She sometimes gurgles and turns vowels around in her mouth it's almost like she's daring you to like what she's doing.

Sort of an anchovies-on-pizza singer.

I haven't noticed that.  It must not be universal to all her CDs. 

Really?  Her whole style is built on her idiosyncratic phrasing.
