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.

I like the Come Away With Me album, and a song here or there. 
 

don’t care for Diana Krall, outside she did one good version Sway. 
 

But, this thread makes me want to take a look at those two live albums, so thanks!

+1 for the Little Willies record….if you wanna hear her tackle more of an alt country/rockabilly vibe with great back up players…

Roberta Flack was a better version of Norah Jones before Norah Jones was born. 

IMHO just a good jazz lounge singer.  Some good talent.  I don't think in the top 20 of all time female jazz singers. If one is assembling a TOP female jazz collection she's not in it.       erik_squires,  your not missing something special.
