Taylor Swift is really talented..

[QUOTE="jimkabrhel"]

No, she isn't. She's a product of the music industry as many other acts are. A little talent, a lot of engineering. The fact that most of her songs deal with the same subject, and are often stalkerish, makes her wild success even more of an indictment of the music industry.

Talented? Sure I guess.

But I would never listen to anything she puts out.

I agree that she is talented.

How ever, writing about exes, and telling htem to shut the f**k up on TV is skanky

I actually kind of agree with "justbeyourself". Taylor Swift doesnt have a dozen middle of the road pop tunes that are passible. She has a bunch of really catchy songs that are really appealing. Especially to younger people. That song "Trouble" has a kick-ass chorus. (half-time with 16th note high-hat? Its so good)

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="JustBeYourself"] You sound like such a drone. So she's signed to a major record label and sells a lot of records...so that means she's not good? Like someone said earlier in the thread "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" and she's proven she can write genuinely good pop songs, not the middle of the road crap that's just passable enough to be bought.Shmiity

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Yeah no. That was a stupid comment to make in regard to simplicity. Don't hold it up as though it's actually a valid point.LJS9502_basic

Don't look back in anger <3

:lol: 

My brother heard her one time in LA, and said she couldn't sing for sh*t.

Perhaps the new pop queen.

[QUOTE="JustBeYourself"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Ugh....her music is repetitive and simple crap.LJS9502_basic

Adele is talented. Taylor Swift is whatever and her music isn't even entertaining.
