Taylor Swift

I'll probably get kicked out of this place but I bought the Taylor Swifts album. All original songs and performed really well. The CD is a tad compressed but her voice is predominant and clear. She sounds almost like Jewel but with songs that have very young theme (young love mostly). I'm an old geezer but I liked it. I'm going to take it over to my stereo buddy and see what he says.
Thanx, Russ

What I can say, if you made every recording artist's contracts invalid and open for new contract's, she would be in the Top 5 of everybody's list at the moment. Very respected from a label, creative talent agent, live book agent perspective. She has a buzz factor second to none, and will have a future that represents a solid 15 million records shifted. Few people offer that.

Here's the funny thing about Taylor Swift and the Grammy's. Taylor Swift who is a very engaging personality (did you see her on Saturday Night Live? She may actually save the world) but not a great singer got to just stand there and sing (not very well), while Beyonce who can sing was in such an overblown production you would never know that and Jennifer Hudson who can REALLY sing got to solo for about 40 seconds. GO figure.

Taylor's favorite band Kings of Leon also won a Grammy that night so it was a good evening for her. Maybe the Kings sent a diet Pepsi shooter to her hotel room from the bar after the awards.

Aside from the marketing perspective. Poor girl just cannot sing. Her duet with Stevie Nicks was simply emabarassing, as was her SNL (or was it Conan O'brien?) live performance.
