Norah Jones a tinge short

I love female vocals, Kd Lange, Linda Rondstat, Bonnie Ryatte to name a few. And I love Norah Jones voice, So I ran out and purchased come away with me. Though I could easily listen to it, I was a tad dissapointed in the reocording quality on CD. I could hear her mic shean (glare), tinny and a tad thin, which kept her wonderful voice from ringing clear through my Theil 3.6s. I tried some Sheryl Crow bam she was right there in my living room. I tried the Norah CD again and the sound thined and tinned. I was saddend, anybody else share this same opinion, or dissagree?

Well, I like everyone on your list within their respective genres well enough, except one.

My problem is that you just have such a condescending tone -- "Those who are fooled by this..." -- implying that you're somehow superior to me because you don't like Diana and I'm "foolish" enough do so.

I can't stand Celine's singing (my wife loves her), but that doesn't mean any disrespect to you. I don't need to belittle her just because I don't like her singing. Who made you the grand poobah of female singer worthyness?

Sorry Dave - good point - there is nothing foolish in listening to the vocalists that you enjoy...perhaps "beguiled" is a better term to describe the way good looking stars (like Robbie Williams for the ladies) have a sort of "magic" grip on their audiences - the persona and music seem to meld in our brains and form an intoxicating hook or image in our minds eye.

I still remember when Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and "Material Girl" videos came out - she hooked male listeners everywhere instantly...it was the whole beguiling package I guess.

Perhaps it's wise to clean your own house before looking for additional work.

I don't work out of my house...maybe you mixed a metaphor?
