Norah, it’s not you. It’s me.
I like easy to like music. I like pop-like music. I can listen to Britney Spears and Fiona Apple and Metallica. I can listen to Damien Rice and Tegan and Sara and Psapp. I like Latin Alternative, Rock and Salsa. I like lots of things. I like music that is VERY EASY to like. I buy most top ten selling songs. For some reason, Norah Jones is not my cup of tea. She writes astoundingly good songs. I want to like them. I really do. I promise. But for some reason I cannot seem to relax when I hear her music. The soft strumming, the easy piano, the airy, jazzy voice… AAAAHHH. It’s like nails on a chalkboard to me. And the lyrics are so nice and I would love to WANT to make love to “Come Away with Me.” Can you imagine? Outside on a cool fall evening with wine and a picnic and Norah Jones serenading us? Wouldn’t it be great? No, right? It. Would. Suck. Because Norah, I’m just not that into you. I like a fuller voice with zero breathiness, unless you truly are turned on. Your voice just irritates me. I’m sorry. I really am. Because I so wanted to like you. Everyone else seems to.
