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.

Donjr,
Flies under the radar?...I don't think so. I find her vastly overrated and boring. I have friends who agree and also friends who like her, but not in a passionate way. But no matter what you feel about her, she has received plenty of press, not the least of which was from professional audio reviewers using her music as a reference in reviews.

I would love to hear her play saxophone! She wouldn't be able to sing with her mouth full.
Seriously, listen to her. It's a lot of feeble cooing and whispering. It may be sexy, but a great singing or writing talent she isn't.

Her and Diana Krall strike me as different flavors of the same ice cream.

Schubert,
I think your post crystallizes my feelings perfectly. We are so accustomed to mediocre talent that is well packaged, we forget what greatness and genius really sounds like. Neither of them are in the same universe as Sarah or Ella.
