Just let me say that I am not a huge fan of country music, some of it isnt bad, but either way, I know what good country is and isnt.
In case no one saw, Taylor Swift, among a host of country LEGENDS(Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, etc) was nominated for country music Entertainer of the Year award last night.
And won. 
I think the space time contiuum might rip open and suck us all in.... 
What the hell......

Girl can't sing for ****, but she's young, tall, blonde, thin, and fond of short skirts. Perfect recipe for an "award winning artist".

I really don't know that much about her and haven't heard any of her music. That said, will give her credit for this. It's pretty funny.

She walked with a lot of stuff she shouldn't have just so they could make a point.
IMHO |

Garth Brooks is an example of bad country. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Purple Mountain Majesties | | There was a thread just a few days ago about the Kanye West skit on SNL. I piped in that I thought she was terrible for country music. Lots of TB'ers promptly piled on in disagreement, essentially calling her God's gift to contemporary country/pop singing and songwriting. Oh, and let's not forget what a great role model she is to little girls everywhere ('cuz that's what makes me buy music and listen to it  ). The Taylor Swift Fan Club will be along soon to reiterate their views I'm sure...

Please note that I'll hope in humanity was lost when "the Hof" became mainstream. That or when the fat boys broke up. |

That's also my thoughts on the Jonas Brothers, Twilight, etc... |
