Recognizing an artist possesses skill, creativity, etc.is one thing. Liking them is another. Liking an artist because one is told to is not a scenario I relate to. I'm too stubbornly independent where esthetics are concerned.
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.
