Songstress Norah Jones confessed that she almost gave up singing, right before she hit it big with her debut album, “Come Away With Me.”
She was working as a waitress, waiting tables while waiting for her big break, but almost gave it all up, because she said that she was getting fat on corn muffins.
She said, “I’d gained weight – waiting tables, I was eating a lot of corn muffins and I didn’t know they were filled with butter. I felt fat, I felt gross. I called my mom crying and said I wanted to go back to Texas. But my mom said, ‘You know, you’ve only been there six months, at least give it a full year.’”
Her debut album sold over ten million copies, giving her instant success. I bet she’s glad she waited it out!
