Incredibly moving acapello rendition of America the Beautiful. Her style is so subtle it is amazing.

But Notice the distraction and unattentative actions of Dingy Harry Reid.

God Bless the U.S.

Norah is very talented.

Dingy Harry is a duffus.

Are you trying to be a Texas Spielberg? Showing us the beauty amidst the beast?

What an incredible voice she has. Seen her perform at Jazz Alley in Seattle.

I am not an artist or musician in any form.

I found this tonight and thought it was beautiful. And Dingy Harry stuck out like a sore thumb.

One of the people who commented about the video on youtube also noticed Duffus Harry.

Rebellion is brewing!!

We should rebuild the grassroots conservative movement. From the Reagan Revolution of 1980 through the Contract with America in 1994, it was this movement from outside Washington that carried us to the first center-right majority governing coalition in more than 60 years.

The problem has not been with conservatism or with our voters.

The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington.

Yep, and with no instruments it is an incredible rendition of the song.

... noticed that as she concluded the second verse, Dingy
carefully positioned himself so that his face was in full
view of the camera ...

Very nice!

Too bad Harry Reid is such a turdbucket. His vile, distracting presence almost wrecked it.

Wow, that brought tears to my eyes.

Beautiful simplicity.

Thank you, Nora.

I guess she didn't have a good baby sitar when Ravi was away.

She is so beautiful and her singing style is equally so. I’m surprised that Buzz and the boys are getting this award now. Why not twenty years earlier?

An outstanding performance.

Makes me recall the music for Pope Benedict’s visit to the White House in 2008:

I just discovered that Norah Jones is the lead singer of a group called The Little Willies. The name is an homage to Willie Nelson (not Bill Clinton) and they are all about country music.
