It was a great event, but unfortunately, for the most part, Norah’s performance did not measure up. She sang “I’m on fire,” the refrain of "Just A Little Bit," with all the fire of a cigarette lighter.
Her cover of Neil Young’s “Don’t Be Denied” fared a bit
better. This was mostly because it featured no lyrics that called out it’s
listlessness...
“I’ve Got To See You Again” had a faint smoky quality that won
me over. The longer it went, the more I liked it. Would totally work
on a film soundtrack! Or perhaps during an intimate episode of The
Walking Dead, considering how much her drummer looks like Norman Reedus.
“Don’t Know Why” she ended with that tribute to Simply
Sleep. The crowd seemed to like it though, so maybe it was just me.
Grade: C
