What's funny is that I would probably like Norah Jones, very much, if I were the only person I knew who liked her.Once an artist becomes the Heroine Of The Soccer Moms and the undisputed Queen Of Laid Back Muzak Programming....
.... the VH-1 Smoothrock Poster Girl
... well ...
That's when she's not cool anymore.
And if you listen, she's shoplifting a little too much, a little too often ---from other not-quite-so-well-remunerated of her brothers & sisters.... Bonnie Raitt gets lifted most often, but I hear way too many vocal inflections and style-cues of other artists to think that....... well, to think that there's much more there than a sifting and ripping combine of savvy business-musicians behind her. And in front of her. And where, exactly, is she ?
Oh yeah, put her in the category of :: Famous Guy's Daughter.
Those are always special, original talents. Hmm let's think, you got those Lennon kids, you got Marley's Ziggy, you got Frank Sinatra Jr, you got Liza, you got the President .........
You get the picture.
One vote against.
