Norah Jones


I'm watching a live show on PBS right now and I have to ask myself, how does this girl write so much amazing music? I watched one of her live shows last year and was absolutely floored by her performance but most of all the sheer beauty of her music. Any fans out there? She truly flies under the radar considering her high level of talent as a songwriter and musician.

I don't have a hard time with anyone who doesn't like her. For goodness sakes, my wife is playing Rage Against The Machine right now. I guess that's my point. I don't ever judge anyone for their musical preference. I have no problem with whatever you enjoy, but when I'm made to feel second hand as a result of it then that's insulting. Especially when we're talking about Norah Jones. The girl is a jazz piano student. I don't care if she did well in school and I only think she used that as a launching pad but whatever she is, she's talented in my world. I guess I'm a ghetto music fan. Maybe Norah can do a duet with Kid Rock at a NASCAR event.

This is only my opinion. I can toss it around everywhere. I would love to comment on the John Foggerty thread about how much I dislike him. Why would I do that? What would that contribute to the conversation? Do those people really want to hear my negative opinion of him? I sure hope not. It's not constructive. I appreciate the music you love because it brings you here. I guess I'm just a little surprised you bring your negativity to the music forum.
And I wish everyone happy listening. I'm listening to Annie Defranco (spelling) because I know doing this and smiling will result in a good breakfast in the morning.
It's Schubert who does not understand, and it's very simple language. "Good" and "bad" are opposites and are not interchangeable. Just because something is good but not the best does not make it bad.

And again, Norah Jones is far above mediocre. We should all be so good at what we do.
Schubert, are you aware that there are top rank jazz musicians who do not think that Sarah Vaughan (that is the correct spelling by the way) is the best jazz vocalist ever?

So should we all stop all listening and instead argue and insult until we get a unanimous decision on who is the best?

And we wonder why we can't get new people interested in the high end?
