My scratchy-voiced nights.
I’ve been watching MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS, and one thing that’s keeping me from really enjoying it is how AWFUL some of the actresses’ voices are. Who would have guessed that Norah Jones’s voice would be so grating and unpleasant? Natalie Portman is annoying me too, with her fake Southern accent (not to mention her hair and costume) and irritating voice. I can’t explain exactly why they sound so annoying to me — there’s just something very “bad 80’s movie” — like FLASHDANCE — about Norah Jones’s voice. It had me cringing at the beginning of the film.
