Norah Jones: Beautiful Music or Totally Boring?

January 30, 2007

Norah Jones' highly anticipated third album, Not Too Late, comes out today in music stores (and Starbucks) nationwide. How do you feel about the ubiquitous singer?

I don't "love" Norah Jones, but she's not totally boring, either. She's trying to bridge genres, which is tough. Actually, her best work in on The Little Willies album. You can't listen to that and still call her boring. I get why you prefer Winehouse to Jones. No question that Winehouse is a better singer. But, if you find Jones' style "boring," I submit it's a bit of an age thing. You identify more with Winehouse's youthful, rebellious music, where as Jones is going for more of a (I wish I could think of a better term) mature adult aesthetic. In ten years you'll still dig Winehouse because of the remembered youth and feelings listening to her music will evoke -- but you'll have gained a different appreciation for Jones' music.

I love her music - it's relaxing and easy to listen to when I'm working.

For about two years you could not go into an upscale women's clothing store without hearing Norah Jones. I think she is totally boring. I know she is talented and exotic looking and sweet, but I wish she would shake things up a bit.

She was pretty good in the beginning but now she has become a little boring :oy:

I agree and I liked that one as well. I read this one isn't as "jazzy". ------------------------------------------------------ Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Albert Einstein

Her Come Away With Me album is one of my favorites. I'm hoping I like this one as well.

I liked her 'Come Away With Me' album. I know my dad likes her music more than I do. But I respect that she does her own thing. There aren't many girls out there in her age group that perform jazz music.

She has a beautiful, smooth voice. I loved her other stuff, but I hear this cd is different. ------------------------------------------------------ Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Albert Einstein
