You forgot Stevie Nicks, Melissa Etheridge, Skin, Janis Joplin, Shirley Manson, and if I weren't about to go to sleep, I'd be able to name a couple dozen more.

Recently I've been really taken with Norah Jones' music.

I first saw Norah Jones when she performed on a talk show about 6 months to a year ago.
She has an amazing voice.
Two minutes after I first heard her sing, I was on Kazaa. (Don't slam me, I bought the CD a week later)

I think Sheryl Crow and Faith Hill both have really great voices.

I've never been a big fan of the others.

And then you threw the disc out an hour after opening it.. Her stuff sounds ALL THE SAME (norah). No one ever heard of her before the grammies.. she takes home 8, gets radio play for two weeks after, and then everyone forgets about her. Not even britney spears could suck as much wang as her.

Sheryl Crow might be worth something if she actually had lyrics worth speaking. She should just go the way of Faith Hill and let other write for her. Fvck do her lyrics ever suck.

All J.Lo is worth is looking at.. and of course bending over (with several rubbers now adays)..

Amy Lee, puleesss. WAKE ME UP, I CANT WAKE UP, WAKE ME UP. Someone should wake her up with a bat.

</end hate>

Just because most of Norah's songs are mellow and jazzy sounding doesn't mean they all sound the same.
You'd know that if you actually took the time to open your ears and listen.

It's hard to say.... many are very good. I guess my choices will be prejudiced to the music I like.

Sheryl Crow
Sophie B. Hawkins
The girls from Concrete Blonde and 4 Non Blonds

and for vocal range.. Nancy Wilson from Heart (listen to their cover of Unchained Melody)
