Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to

Norah Jones is the darling of Jazz and Audiophile press for a few years.  I've heard her albums, maybe even bought one.  Look, being a musical artist is hard as hell and I can't do it, but I realize in listening to others talk about her that I'm missing something special while listening to her.

Please, without wanting to pile on her, if you love her tell me why.  What has you going about Miss Jones that makes her a standout? No wrong answers.

@frankmc195 That is what makes the world so colorful. We all like what we like. 

Music is the thread that brings us together. 

Glad you liked She & Him.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Cheers.

I’m sure that some day I’ll come around to Norah Jones. She’s not bad just meh. Saying that one of my favorites is her duet with Ray Charles.

 

 

I have come to adore Linda Ronstadt so I’m sure there’s hope.

Nora Jones.... To quote douglas adams.....mostly harmless.

As to Diana Krall, I enjoyed her live concert videos and albums and once I saw her in concert for real (not carefully edited), I stopped listening to her.   I'd call her an "entertainer" more than anything else.
