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.

Sure, that's probably why Norah Jones won 5 Grammys for Come Away with Me.

With the Peter Malick group, before she was famous. There's more to her than 'softness'.

For myself, I didn't know who Norah's father was for years, and after I found out, I could not have cared less. Had I known, it wouldn't have been a plus.

Erik, I tend to disagree. And whether or not the press was on her side is moot. You don't sell 27 million copies of an album because of the press.
