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 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!

As others have already said, to hear her CD's all the way through can be quite boring, but I really like the Peter Malick CD that she appears on, I like it far better than her own CD's.

I purchased "Come Away With Me", played this cd once and I can't play it anymore, TOO BORING. Seems like her voice never comes out.

Anyone see the spoof commercial done on Mad TV? Really pokes fun at the sameness of her tunes. FWIW I really like to unwind to her records--not serious listening material but sets the mood right on Friday after a long week. I happen to think the recording quality (I have the vinyl versions) is pretty darn good. Come Away With Me is better recorded than the new one, Feels Like Home. Pretty similar musically, however.
