Best Diana Krall album...........is???

OK, I have all of the Diana Krall albums (I think??) and my fav by far is....... The Girl in the Other Room. It's not even close for me, I can't understand why no one else seemed to like it. I really enjoyed her original songs, especially the title track.

Here is another vote for Live in Paris.

My vote: Love Scenes. I have a bunch of her CD's/SACD's as well but am really not that big a fan. I think the reason she is so popular here is because she records well. Her discs sound good on a bad system and on a great system she is right there in the room. It's funny how a really good recording can help you overlook a somewhat mediocre musical performance. I think she has a really affected singing style that grates over time. Love Scenes is the least over the top in this regard and the trio arrangement (bass, piano and guitar) tend to deemphasize the schmaltz factor that I detect on many of her albums. If I were you I'd buy one disc at a time so you can be sure you dig her.

the girl in the other room

The ones where she is NOT backed by an orchestra.
