In a "60 Minutes" interview with Katie Couric, Grammy Award-winning singer Norah Jones talks about her musical style and the unique sound of her voice.
I love how honest she is. She doesn’t seem to have any sort of ego which is so refreshing. The way she says that she doesn’t have the kind of voice that can sing all sorts of octaves and high notes, but she’s OK with that she knows her lane and she sticks to it. I just love her so much.
It's so refreshing to hear a singer that focusses onsubtlety, nuance and tone and that sings the tune without wanting to bore us silly with off their vocal licks...
It’s not simple music it’s beautiful music full of colours and moods .. It’s like the colours of a rainbow telling different stories.. It’s mesmerising.
Her talent, style and feeling is amazing. Playing Flute for years. it would be simply amazing to colaborate with her on something... just for pure enjoyment.
Hard to say that I "like" the interview...I didn't really appreciate Katie's questions, and to me her comments seemed more like they were critical of Norah's style. I just think she could have chosen her words better. Norah's voice is so beautiful and unique, which Katie pointed out the "uniqueness" of it, but made it seem almost like a bad thing. Huh. Oh well. To each their own.
Norah is a very very simple woman, I love her songs and her too! She is humorous too, what I find the best in her is her facial sadness that depicts me her deep thoughts in something.. I dont know in what!. But I love her, just as she is... Not to marry, not to have, not to anything else...just like a wish to have a moon on the sky... I know, I cant have it! ... and I woul'nt either... Great songs Norah. Malik
She started that singing tone and style... then almost every goddamn up-and-coming female singer tries to emulate it. It's getting ridiculous. It's not even their natural singing styles!
Twoclaw actually that was common from older singers. Listen to Brenda Lee for example. It's just from the 70s onward the focus became on range. Then now a lot of females try to do that soft tone w a slight British phrasing.
Wow, Norah handled that fiasco with grace and class.How many times did she save the interview from being a catastrophe?Have seen Norah in other interviews and she is always funny and interesting.She seems to be as beautiful and real as her music .
Norah is a double edged sword. She made this style of signing popular, for her it was authentic and very lovely, it’s her true unique voice. Then the indie girls started popping out the hedges trying to sound like this and they all sound like nails on a chalkboard
Hey, did anybody else notice that Katie has a more raspy voice that Norah? So does Katie know from experience about smoking and drinking Scotch? But really folks, Katie is smart, so the producers must be forcing her to "dumb down" her interview. It is such a shame, 'cuse I was left hungering for the answers to smarter questions! I am fascinated with Norah and would really like to know so much more. Norah is so impressive in so many ways. All the best for Norah Jones!
at 2:07 she sounds and looks somewhat like julia roberts. i think norah jones is the most gifted singer and the most talented. she has such a great voice and shes not raspy at all....
Funny. She sure fucked with Comes Love. It's on CZcams, check it out. I'm a big fan of Miss Holliday and Miss Mitchell, but Miss Jones nailed it, and there's not a note she sings that's on the sheet music.
The interviewer wanted her to mock contestants of AGT, but Jones is too classy. She also knows that it takes a lot of skill to be doing all the melisma as it is called, albeit it can overdone often times. She admits that she isn't capable of doing it herself, which takes a lot of insight into own skillset.
I just almost pissed myself laughing when the interviewer said "when they do all the virbato..." 10 to 1 she didnt know what the frog she was talking about until a day before the interview, when the producer explained, or something. Or maybe she has used her 'virbator' a bit toot much right before the show. Whatta mistaka to maka..
glad to see others were not happy with this interview, I thought it was rotten, on Norahs stile that katie should have been more complimentary it sounded like a vague insult to me. I think most people agree Norahs stile is unique as in superb.
Katie Couric is so bad in this interview it's offensive. She botched it big time, but since Norah Jones is perfect, I'm not surprised with how well she dealt with those stupid questions.
oh my. Couric sucks in this interview!!! She is trying to seem like she knows music -- while she's sitting in front of the one of the most NATURAL musicians working today. how could she be so damned patronizing to Norah!! Norah showed great restraint. 'Norah's voice, 'not clear'??? what the hell is she smoking. Norah can produce a 'clear' phrase like nobody's business!!!
so pretty. and even her speaking voice is like honey.
One of the best female voices in the music industry
I love how honest she is. She doesn’t seem to have any sort of ego which is so refreshing. The way she says that she doesn’t have the kind of voice that can sing all sorts of octaves and high notes, but she’s OK with that she knows her lane and she sticks to it. I just love her so much.
I agree!
From what I have seen in this interview.
She would be an healthy women to date.
Norah, makes me smile incessantly. She's beautiful anyway, and her classiness just doubles her attractiveness.
It's so refreshing to hear a singer that focusses onsubtlety, nuance and tone and that sings the tune without wanting to bore us silly with off their vocal licks...
It’s not simple music it’s beautiful music full of colours and moods .. It’s like the colours of a rainbow telling different stories.. It’s mesmerising.
Miss Nora your singing voice is beautiful the way it is
Norah Jones.. What a personality, what a voice! AND she's beautiful. And carries herself brilliantly considering the success she's had.
What a beautiful lady and so talented!
Norah is such a gem, I did not think that Katie quite "understands" her qualities enough to do a good interview. She did not get the essense of Norah.
I'm inlove with HER !! Big respect from Poland
She is so genuine and beautiful
She's just a pure unpretentious woman, Norah is my type of girl :D
Tom Waits. She dropped the name. Always loved her and now one more notch up. Bless you, Norah!
I love how she plays the piano and sing ❤
Her talent, style and feeling is amazing. Playing Flute for years. it would be simply amazing to colaborate with her on something... just for pure enjoyment.
Norah is so polite and ,like she's naturally always that calm and soft, which is why her music can NEVER get old
Norah I love you and I'm sure Katie is an excellent person, way to come down to her level for a moment.
Ok nobody is as beautiful as Norah
i love norah.
from turkey.
Slow-burn jazz-americana is how I would describe Norah Jones' music.
Hard to say that I "like" the interview...I didn't really appreciate Katie's questions, and to me her comments seemed more like they were critical of Norah's style.

To each their own.
She´s a beautifull girl. Muito bonita and inteligent too. She would sing and play Bossa Nova. Then the miracle would be completed. At last!
Norah is a very very simple woman, I love her songs and her too! She is humorous too, what I find the best in her is her facial sadness that depicts me her deep thoughts in something.. I dont know in what!.
But I love her, just as she is... Not to marry, not to have, not to anything else...just like a wish to have a moon on the sky... I know, I cant have it! ... and I woul'nt either...
Great songs Norah.
Malik
Nora Jones is a good singer and she is so beautiful.
She is the daughter of Ravi shankar! She is as talented as her father but in a different way
My life without Norah is harder.
Beautiful soul. And wow she's fine! Lol
loved the short interview.. bout real music stuff
i just fell in love
She has a voice that is best describes as... warm water pouring over ice... soothing... What Angel's might be like... kinda.
Sweetest woman that she is the love in person, a piece of heaven.
She started that singing tone and style... then almost every goddamn up-and-coming female singer tries to emulate it. It's getting ridiculous. It's not even their natural singing styles!

There's no more perfect woman on the face of the earth. In every way !!!
at 2:07 she sounds and looks somewhat like julia roberts. i think norah jones is the most gifted singer and the most talented. she has such a great voice and shes not raspy at all....
what mistake? vibrato is that regular pulsating pitch change like you hear with alot of new artists :)
Funny. She sure fucked with Comes Love. It's on CZcams, check it out.

Whatta mistaka to maka..
She's awesome- they both are...but i thought that was just an awkward interview...maybe not?
Curic is phony
Norah reminds me somewhat of The Late and Great, Miss Billie Holiday.
I was just gonna post that very same thing.
@NoObIsT2612 yes... she is def my type of woman. if only more women could strive to be like her.
shes 23 years old here
No she was 28. This was a 2007 interview and she was born in 1979
glad to see others were not happy with this interview, I thought it was rotten, on Norahs stile that katie should have been more complimentary it sounded like a vague insult to me. I think most people agree Norahs stile is unique as in superb.
Cool chick!
Norah Jones rocks! I wish she was interviewed by a musician or a journalist with Music background, it was painful to watch 🙁
looks like rachel mcadams
es verdad!pero ella es mas linda.que rachel.
Yeah she does, well, abella anderson too haha..
Katie Couric was not the right person to interview such a great artist.
Haha she was in Ted
Her Dad is famous Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar
Wow, KC is so annoying. She probably doesn't know who she was interviewing.
did she just say "raspy" ?
cigarettes and scotch?
does katie always interview like this?
they split up?
2:38 - Major DIS to Mariah Carey; Go Norah!
ArxVirtus how
@PRroppaboi PJ harvey
If space was real and there was down as well as up I'd want such a question about beings in space to be whispered politely and not.......
Thank You! It was just waaaay too much time spent on Norah Jones vocal analysis. Who cares how she describes her own voice. Move On!
hi norah?...im elmo!
yeh what a weirdo woman this interviewer is - she's obsessed with asking weird questions! Norah remains very positive and polite, all credit to her.
Did she just tell Norah Jones...
to smoke cigarettes and drink scotch? lmao
I know what vibrato is; she just prenounced it "virbato" which someone who knows what vibrato is wouldnt do. I guess.
I know Katie Couric did not come for Mariah.
mmmmwah
She's not yet married.
Great answers! Dumb questions.
nice face
Questions are to smart to interviev listeners......
"Verbado" @ 2:56??? WTF is verbado Katie? I'm starting the petition to fire Katie Couric! Who's in?
is she married?
Throwing shade on Mariah, LOL
Raspy voice?!
ohhhh phuck I didn't even noticed that hehehhe not even in your writing :P
Duh, wut?
her voice is NOt raspy.
Katie Couric is so bad in this interview it's offensive.
She botched it big time, but since Norah Jones is perfect, I'm not surprised with how well she dealt with those stupid questions.
If someone from outer space landed and wanted to know ,How in the hell does Curic keep her job? I wouldnt know how to answer.What a maroon.
Also... Katie's voice sounds doctored and Norah's voice does not. I mean Katie sounds like she is down some pipe somewhere.
Katie's tone is bordering on patronizing
RASPY!?!?!?!? Would it hurt Katie to listen to some of her music BEFORE she interviews her?
oh my. Couric sucks in this interview!!! She is trying to seem like she knows music -- while she's sitting in front of the one of the most NATURAL musicians working today.
how could she be so damned patronizing to Norah!! Norah showed great restraint. 'Norah's voice, 'not clear'??? what the hell is she smoking. Norah can produce a 'clear' phrase like nobody's business!!!
