Newcomer, humakot ng Grammy Awards

PARINIG NGA! - PARINIG NGA! ni Lanie M. Sapitana -
Sino nga ba itong foreign female singer na Norah Jones na pinagkakaguluhan ngayon sa ibang bansa? At kung paano siya nakaagaw ng pansin sa international scene matapos siyang humakot ng sangkatutak na awards sa katatapos na 45th Grammy Awards. Walong tropeo ang napanalunan nito at nahulog ang isa nang tanggapin niya ito nung Grammy Awards.

Ang 23 years old American newcomer ay isang jazz singer and songwriter na ipinanganak sa New York. Siya ngayon ang itinuturing na biggest star ng US music industry. Nagsimula siyang tumugtog ng piano sa edad na anim na taon. Ang kanyang ama ay tinaguriang "Indian sitar maestro" at isang sikat na musician sa India. At ang ina naman nito ay isang dancer, producer at nurse. Naghiwalay ang kanyang magulang nung apat na taon pa lamang siya.

Nakilala siya sa grupong Laszlo and NYC groove band bago siya na-discover ng Blue Note Records, ang music company na may hawak sa kanya ngayon.

Ang kanyang album na "Come Away With Me" isang classic tunes ay bumenta ng 7.4 million copies at nagbigay kay Norah ng pagkakataon upang tanghali siyang musical star.

Nasungkit ni Norah ang Album of the Year, Record of the Year (sa kanyang song na "Don’t Know Why"), Best New Artist, Best Female Pop ("Come Away With Me"), Vocal Performance ("Don’t Know Why"), Best Pop Vocal Album ("Come Away With Me"), Song of the Year ("Don’t Know Why"), Best Non-Classical (Don’t Know Why") at Best Engineered Album ("Don’t Know Why").

Ni-release na sa US ang DVD-"Norah Jones-Live In New Orleans". Ito’y isang 67 minute full-color featuring Norah with her band recorded live at the House of Blues in New Orleans LA.

Mapapanood din dito ang Norah’s video for "Come Away With Me". Pwedeng mag-avail nito thru internet. Walang pa akong alam na recording company locally na nakakakuha on line sa album ng international singer. At kung sinuman ang makakuha nito ay tiyak na papatok din.
