A girl can be any combination of cute, pretty, beautiful, and sexy. Norah Jones fits none of those categories for me.

And yeah, she's beautiful. And isn't your typical tabloid-trash celebrity. That's got to be acceptable as a special talent few famous people possess.

Well, if you consider not being trash a talent, sure. As for the rest of that, my cousin can play Yanni superbly, good vocal chords is hard to consider a talent, and songwriter... well, there are generators for that online.

I have no doubt that her producer is far more talented than she is, but that's life, the underdog gets unappreciated, only the hot chick on the album cover receives recognition.

She's talented for sure. Her dad being Ravi Shankar (helped the Beatles and stuff) helps too. :) Althought, I don't believe they talk to each other anymore.

Attractive ... OK

Talented ... sure ... are there more talented ... YES! She's good, not that good. She's just an overhyped jazz singer that 13 year olds like (I'm referring to her peing known as a "pop" entertainer moreso than jazz)

You people are smoking crack...

Who the hell would say she isn't beautiful and talented... my god. Even if you aren't partial to her particular look or music... you can't deny the beauty and talent.

Man ATOT never ceases to amaze me...

Music is a very subjective choice and nobody can influence likes/dislikes so I won't argue with you there. But you sound like you have got a Vendetta against her! You just hate her music or the whole genre itself?

I hate giving credit where credit isn't due, regardless of genre. It's not 'her' music, she's merely a billboard like so many other mainstream 'artists' out there. The music was produced and composed by Arif Mardin; taking a dead man's work and claiming it to be someone else's sure is dirty. I'd love to see what lady Norah comes up with now that Mr Mardin has moved on.

But don't mind me, wallow in your ignorance; as I understand it's far simpler that way.

Would you classify Charlotte Church, Yo Yo Ma, Glenn Gould, or Vladamir Horowitz (RIP) as artists? After all, they're all using the work of dead men...

Inspector, thank you for the post. I do hope she stays under the radar.

It's little wonder she was chosen to sing at the Tribute to Johnny Cash. Her real beauty
is in her vocals. Her face is easy on the eyes. Check out youtube.


dug777, it is my hope you have a daughter and men that celebrate thier drunkeness
as you do, say they will hit IT. It?? Are women just meat to you? Sober-up you clod. :p

I don't believe I ever said "under the radar". Regardless of what you consider her popularity stance to be, whatever talent she has, it's common talent amongst many such 'artists', nothing uniquely gifted.

I consider myself talented, I can take out a whole Rogue Spear team alone through stealth tactics. I'd appreciate a thread about how much you love me too.
