Customer Reviews for Norah Jones

Very good show
IDK... maybe she got the message she needs to interact with the audience a bit or she just likes SF more than other places? ;-) But she was relatively engaging and musically it was great. Is she Bruce Springsteen or Taylor Swift? No. You're not going to get 'here's my life story' type thing. But this is more a jazz-adjacent show, so everything seemed to work. I do agree with another commenter that the show would've benefited from a dedicated guitarist. Norah looks and sounds stiff on guitar. You can tell it's not her primary instrument. She's passable so it's fine but it's not the strongest part of her performance.
Amazing
Went to see the concert at the Paramount in Brooklyn on May 16. Absolutely fantastic show. Beautiful vocals and a great group on stage with Norah. Highly recommend this concert!
Norah Jones is Brilliant
These moronic reviews that criticize Norah for not being more engaging with the audience are completely shortsighted. Nobody asked Van Gogh to cook. Appreciate the genius of Norah's vocals, piano and guitar play. We just saw her show at Port Chester on 5/10/24 and it was incredible. 5 stars, if you have an opportunity to see Norah live, GO!.
hated opening act
i think we had 30 min of 2 people opening and almost as long for the set up. the main back up singer tried to wiggle a lot,dont know why. she was on the piano and it was placed on the left so i barely saw her and i was in the first row to the left. selection of songs wasn't the best. barely talked to audience. but her voice was fabulous. i guess she's not a live performer. better on cds but i'm glad i went.
Boring but Excellent Musically
Nora Jones is a huge talent and her band was excellent. She sounded great but lacked warmth and chattiness us Bostonians expect. I kept looking at my watch wondering when she would do Don't Know Why I Didn't Come. Her song choices were not amongst the best as they dragged and you never knew when they would end. For musical quality I would give it 5 stars but performance wise I think a smaller more intimate venue would have been better.
Under expectations
Despite her undeniably beautiful voice, her music failed to evoke any emotion; it felt as though she was hastening towards the conclusion. The music was mediocre, lacking the entertainment factor, and nothing stood out in her concert, resulting in a boring experience.
