LOVE IT!

How do you like them apples?

Nice song. 

Wow!

This is nice.  Thought it was KT Tunstall at first.

This woman is a tremendous talent.

She's a very good actress... she might be a better singer/songwriter. 

I had to get up to see who this was.
Was thinking  I don't really like Norah Jones, but this is kind of nice and a bit different for her.
What do I find? I"ve heard this before and rated it a seven.
At least I'm consistent. :) 

Only song ever heard from Minnie. Never knew she was a singer. Like the song. But, from the comments would not buy the album.

Not too shabby, but I like the other tunes I've heard from her better.

Norah Jones.

Didn't recognize her voice initially.
When I match the voice to person, my opinion of both her and this song improves.

She has an inordinately large head.

I am so pleasantly surprised by her voice. It's not perfect, but I think I could listen to it all day!

Ms. Driver has a lovely voice.  It was nice to listen to such pleasant music.

I prefer the cuts that Bill plays off of her earlier album Everything I've Got In My Pocket. This is verging on a little too "twangy" for me in contrast to her vocals.

Dammit I hate it when I come up with 2 lame jokes and can't decide which one to go with.

1. You "forgot" Eddie Murphy
2. Come on, that Tina Yothers album kinda rocked. 

It's not fantastic, but it's not offensive either.  I guess I'll just say "that's nice" and give it a 6.

The first few notes of singing on this song make me think it's going to be Aimee Mann. But that impression quickly disappears.

Uh...I think you meant "contraband."  But I would find it rather amusing if prisons were having a serious problem with illicit contra bands.

Leaving that aside, however, I still have no clue what you're getting at. I think she has quite a nice voice and I dig the pop plus twang thing that she has going on in this song. Sure, she's Minnie Driver.  Get over it.

Very surprising. I was not expecting such trite pop. But I should have.

a good song to play over the speaker system at any state prison between announcements for showers and line ups to check for contrabands.

Little bit of Norah Jones, little bit of the woman from 10,000 Maniacs... Nice

Agreed.  Although I heard her on XM radio once so I knew she had some ability.  It's tough to be objective about someone when you know them already and for a different skill.  All things considered it's hard to criticize this harshly.  Nice stuff.

Very surprising. I was not expecting such a nice voice.

Didn't she initially set out to be a singer and kind of fell into acting? She's got a beautiful voice, but I must say, she looks kind of anorexic in the picture below...

I can see why they had to have someone else dub her singing voice in "The Phantom of the Opera".
