Also in Norah Jones, now there's a voice that sounds and I don't mean disrespect but sounds a hundred years old that sounds incredibly experienced. It's just an exciting time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
But once you strip that down, you realize it's all about a voice, like a Norah Jones - that's inspiring to me.
Norah Jones is a breath of fresh air. Norah Jones can sing and play. She's got some talent. I was totally ecstatic that that girl got noticed, because she's wonderful.
I was four years old then, and I think it must have been the next summer that I first heard the voices.
I was always a huge fan of Nora Ephron.
The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.
I look at some of the old villains in the Disney movies. If you really listen, you can hear some of the villains or some of the supporting characters, they use the voices over and over because they were so versatile in the way that they performed on voiceovers.
I think older women's voices are the most hated voices in the world - whether it's because people are reminded of their mothers or what, I don't know.
I still feel like I have a lot of growing up to do 'til I find the voice. Everybody has their own voice and their own thing they want to say to the world.
I do feel that the trend is away from ageism and toward a recognition that older people have a unique voice.
'The Voice' has lots of singers who fit the 'Idol' mold of young, innocent ingenues with psycho stage moms. But it also has long-suffering adult pros, with a whiff of thirtysomething despair in their voices. That adds an edge of realness.
