Diana Krall

Truth sometimes ugly. Donald Trump clearly knows that.

Every time I listen to her and I think she's great pop singer, but somewhat too far away from jazz.

She simplifies lots of classic songs and feels like sufficient effort she places to the score, but either insufficient or unrefined effort for improvisation. Everything she sings seems simplified from jazz to simple pop. She seems to me a female Dean Martin that can put some stuff to the show and show off.

I favor Julie London singing same songs in my heart beat at any time over Diana. I do have different definitions of singer.

psag -- EXACTLY!
you can also add Pelvis Resley and Frank Dinatra.

Diana Kral is similar to snow queen of Hans Christian Anderson with heart turned to icycle.

With strong accompany of REAL musicians (live in Japan) she is just a place holder in the band just like Pat Barber and Nora Jones or Joni Mitchell. Somehow TV favors her more.
I guess buy low and sell high is main contributing factor of her success 

lkatik, it's an American truth -- that's what you really and clearly mean.
My truth is just factual and how many people believe that isn't my problem.

it doesn't matter, because I can't do anything with facts. they're usually pretty static and do not change.
a 'told' truth sometimes vary up and down buy lo sell hi kinda stuff.
never late to learn i guess!

Learn few facts that help to define truth correctly on following examples:

potato is root crop
apple grows on tree
——————————

on contrary the ‘told’ truth examples (just examples)

elvis is king of rr
paul McCartney is best bassist 

clear?



 

ah ok so what's clear is actually unclear 
sorry :(

@slaw Elvis isn't king of rr. Diana Krall is.

IMO, DK is a much better pianist than a singer.

I feel same, but her instrument skills are also very limited and primitive.

any person with average smarts that lacks sportsmanship is no connoisseur.

It's blunt.

When I was devoted to Beatles in my youth, my older friend offered me to listen to Frank Zappa. After that I realized how tasteless and plain Beatles are. I was super happy to learn that and more of less popular and interesting bands, artists and orchestras. Facebook? Anxiety? Anger? Depression? It's trivial stand-up material! Trust me, laughing is much easier and healthier LOL! Hopefully I took this A-A-D off the direction regardless of evaluation abilities...
Now imagine her in X-Factor: 
1. How many Yes-es she would get if any?
2.Who would Yes and who would No if any?
3.Will she win an X-factor? 

@lalitk do you REALLY believe that Howard Stern would YES to DK? I hardly do LOL!

For casual bar performances she's fine agree.

That is true 
there are folks that love justins, Marc Anthony, Rick Martin, but it doesn’t mean they are musicians — they are pop artists and so is DK
