Norah Jones most definitely did not deserve the 5 Grammys she went home with. Her voice isn't anything special. It is a typical lounge singer voice. Nothing fancy. Also, she wrote only 3 songs on her album "Come Away With Me." By that I mean, she didn't write music OR lyrics. She's just the performer. Even her hit single "Don't Know Why" was not her work. I think she's getting undeserved credit. She's a mediocre artist who should get mediocre ratings and mediocre praise. If you want to hear a really great artist, listen to Fiona Apple. She writes ALL her songs, plays piano like a mad woman, has a wonderful voice, and has mind-blowing lyrics that will touch the soul and entrap the senses. She is amazingly talented. I think she is underrated, but hopefully she'll be the one getting 5 Grammys next year after her newest album comes out this fall.
