Norah Jones

I'm watching a live show on PBS right now and I have to ask myself, how does this girl write so much amazing music? I watched one of her live shows last year and was absolutely floored by her performance but most of all the sheer beauty of her music. Any fans out there? She truly flies under the radar considering her high level of talent as a songwriter and musician.

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.

She's what is called a "mike" singer, no mike, no sing.

Roxy54, I agree with you; boring. Her breakthrough album puts me to sleep (literally) before the fourth song starts. I have yet to listen to it all the way through awake.

I like the last album ''Little Broken Hearts" the best. Mr Burton makes her music more interesting to me. Both the lyrics and songs are good. Looking forward to her next recording.

She comes from good stock. Geetali Norah Jones Shankar daughter of the incredibly talented sitar player and composer Ravi Shankar. In addition to piano and guitar she plays saxophone as well. I like that she can sing most genres from country to jazz to pop. She is a talented and diversified performer.
