Norah 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.

Dean,

That's the whole point. Norah is pretty. And if she looked like Cameron Mannheim, she'd still be singing Monday nights in the local bar. That special something, the sweetness, the nice energy, even my neighbor Lupe has that. Gorgeous, too!

It rings so false when Norah Jones (and others) say things like, "I never meant for this to get so big." Then stay at home, girlfriend. Maybe then I'd like you as much as I like Lupe.

Thanks for all the reply's. Even though I don't agree with many of them. Personally I think her music is very soothing. I'm not going to listen to it on my way to the pub on Friday night,but it sounds great in more laid back settings. I also stand firm on the recording quality. Her music sounds incredible on my system. I am amazed at how many people literally bash/attack her credibility as a musician and vocalist. These same people can't praise the likes of Holly Cole,Jane Monheit,Jennifer Warnes,Diana Krall,Patricia Barber(etc.)enough. I'm not here to bash anyone. Were all entitled to our opinions and tastes. I just find it odd that on this forum in particular where most people are very open minded to others music tastes. (This is how we get exposed to new material we probably wouldn't run across normally)-BUT mention Norah Jones name and even the esteemed elders of the Audigon Community are ready for a public hanging(practically) Mix this in with the fact that this young lady sold 20 million copies of her first album,and factor in it certainly didn't get alot of airplay. The first song might have,but the rest really didn't. She's also very humble,respectful,and very attractive. I've just always wondered why there is so much negativity towards her. Thanks for reading and as always I appreciate your views and opinions and keep the music tips coming my way.
