Norah Jones in Concert

Nora and I went to the Woodlands to hear Norah Jones perform. She filled the Pavilion, and the crowd was quite different from when we saw Sting & Annie Lennox. Everyone cheered for songs from her Grammy-winning first album, and for her more Country-sounding second album, not so much. The concert was pleasant but spare, lacking the glitz and flash we enjoyed from Sting a few weeks ago and from Cher last year, but I didn’t mind. Glitz and flash isn’t really what we would expect from Norah Jones, and it would have seemed out of place. Surprisingly, she contrasted herself with Axel Rose two or three times, joking about their difference in style. Somehow I can’t picture her listening to Axel Rose. (Is he still popular?)
