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.

I like Norah Jones, but like the others have said, she has not yet shown any range. It is very pleasant, but becomes boring over time.

Let's hope she "wicks it up a notch" on her next release. If she doesn't, I fear her 15 minutes of fame are going to end.....

Enjoy,

TIC

I love her, but you can't show what you ain't got. Saw her in concert at the Beacon. Lacking emotion, with no command of the stage. Just rolls through her songs. Sweet kid, with an interesting voice. Let's see where she goes with her new cd.

I have to agree with most of the sentiment here and say that Jones hasn't been very dynamic or emotionally involved in her recorded performances. Kind of like a female Perry Como, only not as exciting...

Do as Mthieme says and get a copy of Ava Cassidy's songbird. Although the recording quality isn't very good, you will not be dissapointed. She will raise the hair on the back of your neck!
