Taylor Swift

[Thestral]

I think you're the one that needs to pay more attention. Romeo and Juliet consummate their marriage the night he's banished from Verona.

*snaps fingers* That's right... none-the-less, they end up dead... not really much of a love story.

Well, it's your classic "tragic love story." But I think the characters have transcended Shakespeare's play so that they become icons of "two young people who love each other despite family disapproval;" and Romeo in particular transcends even that.

Though I do think subverting expected tragedy (though not deadly tragedy) is important for Taylor Swift's song, hence a need to have some understanding of how the play ends (if not the particulars).

She could also be a fan of the Dire Straits, you know.

I don't get the reference.

Here you go, a classic Straits song. (pardon the one line of movie-dialogue)

Aaaah Squinty, if you can deal with a grown woman still not being over high school pettiness at the age of 20, sure, enjoy yourself.


And Dennis, seriously, brilliant songwriter? Her simplistic verse and little girl themes might endear her to tweens and emotionally stunted housewives but anyone with a mature taste in music will see right through her childish lyrics.

Somebody's bitter!

Hardly.

Dire Straits is awesome.

As a Life Long Fan of Country Music, I Can Not Stand Taylor Swift. She cant sing worth a flop, her music is childish and boring, and I cant Identify with anything she sings about.

I dont even think she's all that good looking.
So many Artists out there with more talent then her, give them a chance.

 

[greenguy]

I nothing Taylor Swift. My niece likes her and she's just another pop trend. I don't pay attention. At least she doesn't have an ego that far exceeds the size of her genitalia, like Kanye does.

Re: Taylor at the VMAs. Who cares about those awards? They are obviously fixed and mean nothing, and are just excuses for big labels to continue abusing the radio.

In terms of Kayne's remark: Contrary to popular belief, Beyonce cannot dance in addition to Taylor Swift, so everything Beyonce does has to be shrill, over the top, and have revealing clothing (this is a trend with most pop acts). She stands there in skinny pants or hot pants and pops her ass. Most of us on the South Side learned how to shake it like a stripper by the time middle school rolled around. All you need is to identify the bass beat, pivot, and thrust acutely and repeatedly. This is different from actual dancing, despite being an often-crucial part of the process.

 

[Mooch]

I think Taylor Swift is incredible.

Somebody's bitter!

Hardly.

Clearly.

Here you go, a classic Straits song. (pardon the one line of movie-dialogue)

Dire Straits is awesome.

This bears repeating.

Stating the obvious isn't bitterness.


Taylor Swift isn't a good singer, nor is she a good performer, and above all else she's a terrible songwriter. That's a fact.

 

[Angela 0077]

So she's here in town tonight at a sold out show. My company has a private suite at the Wells Fargo Arena that I won tickets to. I don't really follow her music and wouldn't be going if it weren't for the beer and buffett we have in the suite.

Any one been to her shows before? Am i gonna wanna hang myself?

I went to Taylor Swift concert in melbourne a couple of months ago it was so cool to see her sing.

She has such a variety of songs and she loves to get close to her fans.

She also played a drums useing garbage cans with one of her singers she brought with her.

This performance was really good and l didnt expect her to do this.

The song called Love story was so cool to watch because as she sang the rest of the cast were in 1800;s cosumes

The concert was in RodLaver Arena
I also was able to get a T shirt for 4o dollars but it was a long wait.

here is one of the songs she sang at the concert

Well l have seen her in concert and she is cool

At least she doesnt mime

She interacts with her audeice and she is very creative in the show she put together in Melbourne

 

[tomalak301]

I haven't been to her shows (Someone Gag me if I did), I've heard her sing at Award shows and it's terrible. How she wins Vocalist of the Year awards is crazy. She does have some good songs though.

 

[Luther Sloan]

I haven't really listened to a lot of Taylor Swift. But I do like what the few songs that I have heard from her.

Stevie Nicks disagrees.

Besides, this is all opinion anyway.

 

[Neeka Keet]

Stevie Nicks isn't me though. Plus famous people will say anything to be relevant nowadays.

 

[FrontLine]

If you can tolerate country/pop-crossover, man hating, songs about unrealistic expectations in a relationship for the perspective of a 16 year old (yeah I know she is 20), fluff, you'll survive.

Edited for accuracy.

I took my daughters to her concert in Feb of '09. They enjoyed it. So did the other 50 bajillion other teen aged girls in attendance. But I listen to a majority of her lyrics and go . Seeing her in person with the on stage antics made me go . Nah she didnt do anything like biting the head off a bat, but Christ allmighty. All she did was bitch about guys and how they always treat her like crap and stuff. Someone needs to tell her that if all the guys in her life are treating her like crap maybe she ought to look at the constant in all those relationships and work on that.

She is popular. She has a very pretty voice, but man she is about as mature as my 12 year old.

 

[T'Girl]

Loved her on CSI last year.

 

[Trekker4747]

She's a hot-looking young woman, I suspect you'll survive.

 

[Brent]

She is 20

Really? She looks about 12.

wow

Whatever. I respect your right to express an opinion, but that's the extent of it. I fit none of those categories, and I can't believe I'm wasting my time with this reply...we're done.

well as far as some middle tennesseans are concerned she walks on water..
