3dzapper Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Indy, I don't know, Nora is a little nasal and a little pudgey but, if she were my daughter you could not keep the beam off my face. She is certinally a breath of fresh air in the music industry. I have that DVD also, I thought it was DVD-A and was also underwhelmed but it was a good performance. No crotch grabbing, no lip-synced break dancing, no screaming, just a sincere performance by the artists. I think she will improve with age and experience with song writing. JMHO.

Marvel Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I heard the Norah duet with Ray Charles. One of the best cuts on the album. Their breathing was almost in sync. Met Ray Charles once as well, and he was a wonderful person. I'm sorry to see him gone. Allan said it once -- she isn't a jazz singer. Good, but not a jazz singer.

True enough, her releases don't define her as a jazz singer, but performances such a Tanglewood showcase her as a force to be reckoned with... but of course this is only my opinion .
