What’s wrong with Diana Krall?


Just wondering if anybody else saw Diana Krall on tour this past summer. I had been a very big fan and had previously seen her live years ago in San Francisco and Tampa/St. Pete. My recollection was that she was amazing in concert...she played flawlessly, she was engaging, and her ensemble was very tight. However, I took my wife to see her this past June in Memphis...man what a disappointment. First, they were 20 minutes late hitting the stage. Diana seemed like she was under some chemical influence...she mumbled her requisite bon mots to no one in particular, forgot lyrics to some songs (!), and basically took most of the night off, letting her bandmates do an extended jam session with lengthy solos on every song! Looking at customer reviews from her performances at other venues, this had apparently been going on for quite some time. Her whole set, including a halfhearted encore, was only about an hour. God, I hope she is ok and pulls herself together...what a terrible waste if she can’t.

@bac2vinyl, please don’t assume that just because no one would pay you a $100.00 an hour to watch you work that they wouldn’t pay me $100.00 an hour to see me ply my trade. Cheers.

@ibmjunkman, his timing was near perfect, but as they say accidents will happen, or perhaps it was a brilliant mistake and he’s ended up really mystified in possession of all this useless beauty.

Maybe she now thinks he’s the imposter with the mouth almighty? Hopefully clowntime is over and they can both get happy.

Diana Krall; One of the worst female jazz/pop vocalists to come along in the last 20 years. Why? She can't sing. "Talks" her lyrics into the mike instead of "singing" them. Has no vocal projection at all. Never did. Some people say that this is her "style". It's not a singing style, that's for sure. Want to hear someone that can sing? Listen to Jane Monheit or Jacintha. If DK is ill, I wish her well. But I never considered her as a singer.
