yes but dont most talented female singers? i wouldnt compare lisa or norah to anyone else... i think they are both distinctive singers yet there are always going to be comparisons... sinead o'connor sounds more similar in my view (maybe cos they both sang silent night)[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

Norah Jones has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard - smooth and jazzy. I can't see past it. Not dissing Lisa but I prefer Norah.

I strongly prefer Lisa...though, Nora is clearly more popular...I think she had the number one selling record in the world, according to one list I saw recently.

I felt the same about Norah when I first heard her. I thought her voice was very beautiful, but none of her songs really connected with me, they all blended together. I like Lisa's voice a lot, though I feel she holds back a bit, she's already got any amazing voice, but she should really let it loose. "Be My Husband" and "Then Go" are my fave things to hear her sing.

October, Lisa sings a cover of 'Be My Husband' with Damien drumming on the back of his guitar... the original is by Nina... I prefer Lisa's version!

I think they are both good. Lisa sings more folk/blues, and Norah is more jazzy. In some ways I prefer Lisa because she seems to have a bigger range and her tone is clearer--not as raspy. Some people might prefer the raspy sound, though.

the same thing happened with me! i own Norah's cd and love it, but at first it wouldnt do anything for me. Lisa's voice is much more delicate and soothing, which is why i prefer her.
