Norah Jones is fucking great! She's a true singer that doesn't have to show off her fake tits and ass to get attention. I have loads of respect for this lady.

Yeah.. but it wouldn't hurt...

otan said:

I don't see how it would help either. Norah sold something like 10 millions records, so she has proven that she doesn't need to show her tits and ass to sell records like most others do these days.

I like Norah Jones in small doses.. Her music is nice the first 4 or 5 times you hear it.. after that it gets old.. REAL FAST!!! They played her stuff out too soon on the radio... that i got tired of hearing it..

Nelly Furtado

I wouldn't call Norah's music simple, I would call it pure. That's just my opinion! I wonder how Prince would describe it?

You wil get more out of Norah Jones, as with any jazz artist, when you see her live. Certain nuances just don't translate well if you're stuck on TOP 40 & MTV.

PFunkjazz said:

I agree - I saw her this past summer and she is so pure and talented. Prince thinks so too

PFunkjazz said:

well, as somebody who isnt "stuck" on mtv of top of the pops I still find jones' song selections simple...not that i think thats a bad thing...some of tracy chapman's greatest songs are simplistic...for me, that hurts my repeat enjoyment of a song...



but let me turn on mtv and then check back with you later... maybe then i will accept my bubble tendencies...

sosgemini said:

No, you miss the point.
Check back after you've seen her live, ok?

Norah Jones is nothing but a flash in the pan. Wait n see.

garnis said:

you're joking, right? that girl can sing, she can write, she can play...she's a very genuine person. kisscamille is right, her music is pure. she doesn't have to pretend to be something she's not. maybe some other artists should take a lesson.

now if you just don't like her, that's a different story.

must think we're talking about Alicia Keys!!

PFunkjazz said:

Well Norah is a step above Alicia Keys, but just a baby one. Norah isn't doing anything that we haven't heard from Billie Holiday, Sara Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, or Shirley Horn

garnis said:

Geez! I was expecting you to name-drop Diana Krall or Cassanrdra Wilson in there too!

You might have noticed Ella and Sarah have long passed and Ms Horn is hardly a young thang. So, it's nice to have folks capable of picking up the standard.
