Diana Krall

When I was devoted to Beatles in my youth, my older friend offered me to listen to Frank Zappa. After that I realized how tasteless and plain Beatles are. I was super happy to learn that and more of less popular and interesting bands, artists and orchestras. Facebook? Anxiety? Anger? Depression? It's trivial stand-up material! Trust me, laughing is much easier and healthier LOL! Hopefully I took this A-A-D off the direction regardless of evaluation abilities...
Now imagine her in X-Factor: 
1. How many Yes-es she would get if any?
2.Who would Yes and who would No if any?
3.Will she win an X-factor? 

czarivey,

Does she need to compete for any popularity vote in X-factor, probably only in your imagination...LOL!!!

She is a accomplished jazz pianist and talented singer, who has already sold 15 million albums worldwide.

Krall is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debuting at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums. To date, she has won three Grammy Awards and eight Juno Awards. She has also earned nine gold, three platinum, and seven multi-platinum albums....imagine that.

But I do agree with you, laughing is much healthier and easier. And I am laughing my rear off listening to Frank Zappa.

czarivey,

All jokes aside, Frank Zappa may be considered one of the most innovative and stylistically diverse rock musicians of his era...but he is not my cup of tea. I guess I am bit young to appreciate his unconventional style of singing.

Peace out!

What an interesting discussion! It's always refreshing to see those with less than mediocre talent in music become self-proclaimed defenders of musical excellence or whatever that is supposed to mean.

Anyways, I am hoping that DK releases another album very soon. I'll be the first to place my order.

Dianna has a very interesting talent and likes to explore it and use it.  She IS married to Elvis Costello and I wonder what they talk about?  .    Her T Bone Burnett album (Glad Rag Doll) is completely different from her Live in Paris and I have heard some criticize this difference as though her exploration of her own talent is overshadowed by an obligation to "be true to her previous records".  I think if you are musician, you try things.  You make a record, it sells a little or it doesn't sell at all.  Oh well.

The biggest issue with quality I have is many of her earlier records (Live in Paris for example) have tremendous sibilance in her voice that drives me crazy.
