talented. She writes cheesy pop songs for 14 year olds, she isn't some Dylan-like songwriter. Especially when she doesn't have a great voice, and all of her guitar playing is EXTREMELY basic. Almost all her songs use a lot of auto tune to cover up her voice.

How did your family take the news of your alternative lifestyle?

5/17/15 6:57pm

What, that I find a gorgeous, talented, woman attractive.

BE-WHY-YOU

5/17/15 6:58pm

She isn't very talented. She is a mediocre singer and guitar player

ayfan

5/17/15 7:25pm

she is a very talented songwriter and a good singer

5/17/15 7:33pm

Her 7 Grammys and over 40,000,000 albums sold say differently.

Including you?

Milli Vanilli agrees with you about the Grammy. Plus albums sold has nothing to

Dude, she WRITES the music

Dylan has a great voice?

shakarocks

5/17/15 8:42pm

How much of her music have you heard? Have you seen her live?

boorad

5/17/15 8:58pm

I've heard her live, her voice is a train wreck.

Jeffacka

5/17/15 9:03pm

Who are you comparing her to though?

boorad

5/17/15 9:30pm

I'm not a fan of whatever her genre is.

Jeffacka

5/17/15 9:31pm

You don't like the genre so therefore the top person in that genre sucks. Got it

boorad

5/17/15 9:59pm

You're correct, she sucks.

Jeffacka

5/17/15 10:04pm

Actually yes to both

shakarocks

5/17/15 9:08pm

I remember her singing a duet with Stevie Nicks.

Jeffacka

5/17/15 9:12pm

lol, the Grammy's. Awards for the most homogonized, sterilized, watered down

Crush4

5/17/15 7:48pm

You might not like her music but to say she isn't talented is ignorant.

Traveshamockery

5/17/15 9:57pm

As I mentioned to another poster, you might not like her music

Traveshamockery

She likely doesn't write her own music. It is common practice in the music

CougDogg-e-Dogg

5/18/15 2:34pm

It's not that common

shakarocks

5/18/15 4:03pm

To call Tay-Tay's lyrics evolved is something else. They are wildly different

CougDogg-e-Dogg

5/18/15 8:48pm

I'm not a huge fan

shakarocks

5/18/15 9:32pm

Her music hasn't evolved, it's devolved.

I would pass. She seems nice but also crazy in her relationships.

5/18/15 9:33am

Unlucky? Maybe... also most likely suffers from "Princess Syndrome"

Do you love the players or the game?

Only if you want to poison your ears.

Jeffacka

Catchy tunes, talented, attractive, wealthy, successful.

BluePete

She might be the biggest star in music right now. She is, right?

That shows you how bad music has become. When Lady Gaga & Tay-Tay are the two

Name a comparable female musician that is better than T Swift

boorad

I almost don't want to dignify this with a response, but here goes:

5/18/15 5:43pm

Oh boy

shakarocks

5/18/15 7:58pm

Almost anyone with a grain of musical talent could write Taylor's music.

db59840

5/19/15 8:43am

How old is she?

shakarocks

5/19/15 8:48am

There are thousands of less-well-known singer-songwriters out there that

db59840

5/19/15 8:53am

I'll admit that her biggest hits are not great songs

boorad

5/19/15 9:13am

This not to say that she doesn't have potential. I think she probably does. I

db59840

5/19/15 8:54am

Listen to something other than what's on the radio

shakarocks

5/19/15 10:29am

I wasn't faulting her. I was merely pointing out that I don't think she exhibits

db59840

5/19/15 1:20pm

So tell me the difference between what she writes

shakarocks

I haven't heard enough of her songs to make a good judgment, but I lump 99.9% of

shakarocks

Her music is beyond awful. She does have a good voice, but her Boy George

CougDogg-e-Dogg

5/18/15 8:51pm

And here's where you lose credibility

shakarocks

5/18/15 9:36pm

Maybe you should try re-reading my post. I give Lady Gaga credit as a singer.

CougDogg-e-Dogg

5/18/15 10:01pm

It's a freaking pop song

shakarocks

5/19/15 8:02am

Did you at least re-read my previous post?

CougDogg-e-Dogg

Of course

Amazing at sucking...that is all.

Musical talent and singing ability...

Anyone hating on Taylor is missing something special

or they enjoy sounding like they are 13

blucoug18

5/17/15 8:18pm

I agree. But I don't understand how she is still a part if all the country music

5/17/15 8:19pm

Since she announced she's going pop she'll probably start to fade from country.

byuluvr

5/18/15 9:14am

You're joking right?

shakarocks

when she was country she was, now I can't stand her.
