I listened to both The Girl In The Other Room and The Look Of Love last night, by chance. I don't listen to her voice as much as I do the overall sound of her recordings. I'm not in total agreement with Janis, after all, I have some of her recordings. But I do think that there are times when her intimate voice comes off as a bit weak. And, she also tends to clip the vocals rather than letting her voice trail off, kind of like Tony Bennett. So I like her, but I don't love her.

I like Tony Bennett too, but sometimes his phrases end too abruptly for my ear.

Her voice does have it's limitations, yes. There's not a lot of sustain there, and not much power - IIRC, she started out just playing the piano until someone talked her into singing. She may not have had a lot of vocal training.

She's aiming for sultry intimacy, and I think she nails it. YMMV. She has one of the most beautiful faces, the shape of her face and her features are very unique.

I can't stand Diana Krall. I find her voice annoying, as if she's not giving it her all. It's like listening to someone with a monotone voice droaning on, and on, and on.........I want to light a fire under her.
