Norah Jones

She hardly wrote any of the music she sang to get famous. Mostly all covers. When she started insisting on performing the stuff she wrote, her career sank fast. I happen to like her first two records, but I can't stand her writing.

On "Come Away With Me" Nora is listed as writer on 2 tracks and co-writer on 1 track out of the 14 tracks on the album. If this qualifies her as writing most of her material, I must live in a different world as the rest of you. So be it. Anyway, it doesn't really matter. Careers come and go.

Donjr, again you missed the point of my post. I actually did like Nora's first two records very much. The ones she had less input on. I was very dissapointed with her output after that. And - her fame was built off those first two records. As to "giving her a chance", what chance should I give her when I think her recent stuff pales in comparison to the old? If you want to keep listening, knock yourself out. Your comment about replying on threads about artists I don't like has some shred of validity to it though. However, I feel compelled to participate when what I thought was a good artist goes into the toilet.
