Don’t know why we want Norah Jones? I’ll tell you. We want her for a host of reasons. We want Norah Jones for bragging rights.

Who sings sweeter than the sweetest? Can you keep up with Jones’ sound? The musician can sing in multiple genres. Jazz and Country are her specialties.

Nothing beats her delicate touch. You’ll fall in love with Norah’s pitch. Also, she approaches music with gratitude and respect. It is a privilege to watch this songstress in action.

Listening to Norah Jones defuses stressful days. Moreover, she adds pleasure to many enjoyable moments. Amazing is the best adjective to describe this woman’s work. Shout out to Kate Bush and Maxwell.

Did you know Billboard named Norah Jones Jazz Musician of the decade? This means she bested Kenny G. Could it be that Jones’ voice is a saxophone?

Imagine listening to Chasing Pirates when sailing on a ship. Get lost in the lyrics of Come Away With Me. Throughout her career she’s made the most out of her talent. She never neglected her gifts. Plus, she paid her dues.

Maybe, Miranda Lambert and Jones can get together.

If Miles Davis was the common denominator, then Norah is the common numerator. Simply put, she’s got our number. The celebrity compares favorably to yoga instructors when it comes to flexibility. Others could learn from this special music artist.

Her concerts frequently sell out because the Texas Longhorn is a rare breed. She mixes ingredients better than Samantha stirs stew on Bewitched. Yet, Norah Jones seems pure.

She insists on opening doors rather than closing them. The celebrity can change on command. We value adaptability in entertainers. Who else can cut a song with Carrie Underwood and Herbie Hancock?

In a nutshell, she gives us everything. That’s why we want Norah Jones.

I learned how to write poetry in the 5^th grade. My teachers entered my poems into statewide contests. Fortunately I won a few of those.

Poetry stretches the creative mind and imagination. Picture life without words, rhythm, metaphors, and pentameters. How would you make sense of living and reality?

While growing up, I rarely listened to rock or rap music. I played jazz in my old portable CD player. Do you remember the Walkman?

Right after listening to Kenny G, I would write poetry because the saxophonist inspired me. Inspirational music serves multiple purposes. First of all, more souls seek daily inspiration. Second, motivational music itself cures boredom, frustration, and negativity.

Has Kenny G even played a negative note? Kenny mostly orchestrates positive moods, good spirits, and good vibrations. What is more, his long and illustrious career speaks volumes about his musical influence.

By my 15^thbirthday- early 2000s, I heard every Kenny G album in existence. There is still something magical about saxophones. The jazz musician breathes life into his instruments.

Kenny G is a poet who specializes in smooth jazz on the soprano saxophone. His style is similar to the magnetic Adam Levine. He makes his hardware sound like Christina Aguilera.

Kenny G built his fandom by becoming the Microsoft of smooth jazz. Yes, Bill Gates created a monopoly with Windows. And, in the same way, Kenny G was the foremost saxophonist.

Christmas 2000, my mother asked me “What do you want for a present?” I’ll never forget receiving more than what I asked for. My parents gave me the Britney Spears Oops!…I Did It Again album, a stereo, and a Yamaha keyboard. I’ve always loved music since a youngster because music improves your quality of life.

Wouldn’t the world be a safer place if more young people listened to Kenny G and smooth jazz instead of Marilyn Manson?
