Title: Queen of the Blahs
Review: Surely there must be others who feel, as I do, that Krall is an over-hyped, mediocre vocalist lacking in passion and depth, with an almost complete inability to communicate the emotional essence of a lyric. So who's buying all these CDs? Probably people who also think Norah Jones and Peter Cincotti are just swell and wouldn't know a real singer if one bit them on their posteriors, I suppose. Hey Krall fans, ever hear of Lee Wiley? Peggy Lee? Oh, I forgot, they're not only not young and blonde anymore, they're DEAD, so they're not "relevant" to your late-twenty-something musical "tastes." Krall is for people who voted for Bush because "he seemed sincere" and go to see the latest "blockbuster" CGI-laden movie because the Fox TV critic called it "a white-knuckle thrill ride." The triumph of media hype over taste and discrimination is now complete.
Is the review positive or negative?
