Female Vocals - Nora Jones new album - Pick Me Off The Floor

It is interesting - I know there are so many audiophiles who really dig both Nora and Diana but neither have ever resonated with me. There’s too much tentativeness in their voice and delivery - just always struck me as "lightweights" who lacked emotion and conviction compared to so many other female vocalists. Is it just me or am I just not "getting" what these two are saying?

your lack of getting into either likely has to do with something in your system

It's not my system, which doesn't discriminate only against Nora and Diana while making hundreds of other vocalists sound wonderful - it's the overly soothing, limited range, persistence towards ballads,and lack of grit that simply doesn't resonate with me.  She's just not my cup of tea and I'm often amazed by her soaring popularity..which means my awful taste is certainly in the minority.  Hey, I don't get reggae either...doesn't stir my soul.  But I'd never blame my gear on not enjoying reggae either.
