There's nothing wrong with Norah Jones, per se, but it just seems so ... safe. Which is the precise reason why she was so popular.A lot of popular music becomes cool. Therefore it sells a lot.
Jones, on the other hand, I don't think was ever cool (maybe for 40 year olds), but it was safe, comfy and warm. Her music is a sanctuary. It's the reason why Michael Bolton sold like a trillion records.
I guess my biggest problem is that she sounds (phrasing, tone, et al.) like Ray LaMontagne. He has a giant beard. I don't like associating a woman with a giant beard. It's weird.
