Vanessa sounds to me like just another affected, icky alt-girl. I wouldn't care any less about Norah the artist if she was a total bitch - she's the best new singer in at least 10 years. 3874@blogcritics.org Tue, 25 Feb 2003 08:20:26 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/02/24/092040.php#comment-3872 Well, shit. i'll comment Norah jones music played as the end credit's rolled and that's when I realized that was the perfect placement for the music - The type of music you hear after apcncert as the audience files out. She doesn't seem tohave ANY character to her voice. Vanessa Carlton seemed to have a far better voice, with character. It reminded me of Tori Amos - another dustbin reject. eh? I think the "affected" you heard was mere nervousness. I think you're letting Jones' looks and connections override your common sense. Of course, I do say this not really knowing your music likes and dislikes. But she was undeserving, though admittedly sweet. I don't go to music for "sweet." Overal I was pleasantly suprised. I also have not watched a Grammy's show since about 1998, maybe. I stuck through to the end. As soon as I finish typing it. I'm posting "NOT THE DUCT TAPE GRAMMYS. I to can't help myself with Eminem. i deplore "Kim." But Lose Yourself isd a driving masterpiece that says a lot about ambition and opportunity. Another killer Grammy performance al al Elton John and Stan. Hey, I just remembered I watched that. When was that. I know I didn't watch the whole thing though. 3872@blogcritics.org Tue, 25 Feb 2003 00:53:00 EST
