Norah Jones
It's all over the news today - Norah Jones and her 5 grammys. (If you are out of the cultural loop that makes it sound like she has 5 grandmothers...) She's got a great voice. I enjoyed listening to "Don't Know Why" about 3 times before I got hung up on how trite it is. And I tried the rest of the album samples on Amazon. Equally trite. All this makes the whole thing very disappointing to me: a woman with a great voice sings tired-sounding ditties and ends up getting all manner of accolades. To top it all off, journalists are calling her tunes "jazzy" - that's like calling the speeches of Al Sharpton "intellectually stimulating."
Maybe she'll sing some better music next time. But I doubt it.
