There is a natural, unstrained quality that is rarely heard these days. I would even go so far as to say that Norah has found her own voice, whereas Joni (obviously a superior songwriter) was still to an extent mimicking contemporary female singers on her first l.p. I'm curious, walt. If you don't know Norah's name, may I assume you have not listened to the album? And of not, upon what are you basing your comparison? Her album, while no Hejira, is lovely. > what can you say about an institution that constantly > rewards that idiot no talent eminem? > (yes i KNOW i'm an old fart but C'MON!) > i swear they gave it to him out of FEAR. "The Eminem Show" was hands down the best pop album of the year. Eminem is brilliant. Again...have you listened to the album? The grammies do suck, but Norah Jones and Emimem don't. Your loss if you dismiss them out of hand. Best, David
