Taylor Swift - flame away
Maybe its just me, but I dont think she's as talented as people are giving her credit for... Fearless for Album of the Year at the Grammys was infuriating, especially that she was up aginst an amazing Beyonce album, and a super amazing DMB album (their best in years)...
All of her songs are almost exactly the same - " Hi, how many times are you going to reference a fairytale in one of your songs" (Today was a fairytale, White Horse, Love Story)... and while catchy and cute (I sing them in my car), they sound like an immature 15 year old wrote them! (yes I know she is like 16 and writes her own songs - but thats my point)
So okay, vent over.. flame away if you must....
Re: Taylor Swift - flame away
I saw her in concert before she really hit it big. She was the opening act then and not the headliner. I think she was better THEN than she is now. I wouldn't go to see her now. I think she's become cookie cutter, same tune different words. Everything sounds the same and while I like her music, it doesn't vary much. The other artists up for album of the year had more variation in their music and were more suitable for the award IMO.
And seriously, how much heart break can a 17 year old have gone through and does she really know about love?
To me, Taylor Swift is more pop than country and Twain was more country than pop, if that makes sense.
Not to mention, most of the kids that listen to Swift today really don't know who Shania Twain is. IMO, they're trying to stay relevant.
I think TS is a great songwriter and works with a good producing team. That said, she can't sing for her life. Even her recorded songs sound shaky and breathy.
Album of the Year is about the whole album, correct? Swift had easily 6 or 7 singles off of her album get tons of radio play, which is why I think she won. Beyonce had Single Ladies, Halo, If I were a Boy... and I can't even name a single off of the DMB album.
Totally think she is super talented at such a young age.
However....she sings about heartache all.the.time. I was a teenager once, really I was and although my horomones were crazy and I felt that being in high school was never going to end....she just goes on and on and on song after song about a stupid guy liking another guy. Really? I got the point after the first song....didn't need another 10 songs with the musical tune and the same message.
Also...if she thinks teenage love is hard....hahaha wait until you get older sweetie. It only gets harder and I don't want to hear about your divorce. Thanks.
IMO, yes. But I give credit to Dolly Parton for being the best cross over artist. Dolly has 77 records on the country charts 43 which have also been on the pop charts. It will take a long long time and much more talent for either Shania or Taylor to have the success in both the country and pop worlds that Dolly has had.
