Grammys

Taylor Swift can't sing. But what an accomplishment for a teenager to write the album of the year. She had some help, but that's her own work on that album.
 
She is studio-induced; her acoustic with Stevie Nicks proved that. But it's about the album or song, not the live performances, right?
 
Alright, I'll say it. I like Taylor Swift. I have this CD, borrowed and burned of course. It's likeable and has a bunch of good songs on it. It's not earthshattering best-CD-I've-ever-heard music but I like it.

I mean, she's no Beyonce but.....
 
I like some of Taylor Swift's songs, but she went through a phase of releasing songs where she talked more than sang. I liked her when she filled in for Seacrest on the weekly countdown.

But she lost me when she sang live on the Haiti telethon. My status update from that night: "really hopes Taylor Swift never does a live album. Holy heck, she may be the biggest studio creation among singers whom people seem to think are actually talented. She sounds HORRIBLE."

From comments here, sounds like she was no better tonight.

Taylor's album is filled with wonderfully crafted pop songs. She's not a great singer, but they are her work.

If I had a daughter I'd rather that she hear lyrics like this from "Forever" than the nice songs Taylor sings:

I used to have hood dreams Big fame, big chains
I stuck my deck inside this life until that bench came
And went hard all fall like the ball teams
Just so I could make it rain, all spring
Ya'll seen my story, my glory
I had raped the game young, you could call it statutory
When a nibbler blow up, they gonna build statures of me
Old money, benjamin button, what!? nuttin
Now superbad chicks giving me Mclovin
