Norah Jones
 

On Sundance channel right now.

She's friggin awesome.

Has not been anyone like her in a long time.

How someone that young gets that much old school chops is beyond me.

I have been listening to Norah Jones for a long time. I love her voice.

Both her parents were talented, and she grew up in a show biz environment.

She's a talent, but I find her quite boring. Just not my thing.

I have her Starbucks mix CD, it's awesome. They do these "Artist's Choice" CDs that are excellent, they also made a J. Cash one, a Joni Mitchell, and others.

I guess the point is that she has some serious musicology in her for a young person, great taste and a deep knowledge of the roots of popular music. She is Ravi Shankur's daughter, but they are estranged IIRC.

Here is Norah's half-sister *. Old Ravi sure has some beautiful daughters.

* I know, that's Jeff Lynne. Hit play.

Liked her hit song years ago but its the same lines over and over again and got tired of it soon.

She has talent and hope that she is using it a bit better as she gets more experience.

Agree. My daughter will play her last hit and I can feel my eyelids get heavy. Nice voice, but I need some energy to keep my attention.

Pretty voice, boring songs, overplayed.

Her first album was great but it was just more of the same afterwards with less of the soul.

Ravi sure got around, eh?

Nora wakes the womens' soul. It's bass fishin' with a bass guitar.
