Blacks don’t like whites playing “their” music....


They must really hate the white rappers and hick hoppers.

She does not sing or play. She does lip sync to an autotune record and pretends to play. I watched one of those CMA award shows a few years back and that is what she did.

Nonsense. Sure everyone does that for an awards show because you want to be 100 percent sure it is perfect. She plays guitar and writes her own songs.

Maybe you are right. From the articles below maybe she should.

Read the article here where she tries to sing and it does not work out.
http://www.savingcountrymusic.com/taylor-swift-delivers-off-key-performance-on-new-years-rockin-eve

Snip: Griffin also accused Taylor of lip syncing and “using some sort of Auto-tune” but apparently Kathy wasn’t listening, because it would be hard to lip sync or use Auto-tune and be that out-of-tune at the same time. Similar misguided accusations of Taylor Swift using Auto-tune live have always been flatly denied by Swift.

From an article linked in there she has used autotune but also denies using autotune.

Aside from hundreds of live performances where Taylor Swift clearly sang out-of-tune, the other major piece of evidence we have is a personal exchange she had with music industry guru/critic Bob Lefsetz back in November of 2009.

Go to youtube and find some real performers.

I took your advice.

Via YouTube: a REAL performer

“haven’t watched the taylor swift video and I don’t need to watch it to tell you that it’s inherently offensive and ultimately harmful”

The entitled little twerp is under the impression that the rest of us are under some obligation to avoid offending him. I disagree.

So, what is the difference here between Taylor Swift crawling between the legs of men and Ester Williams sliding down a waterslide between the legs of men?

I saw a Youtube of her live and she is a OK singer. She is no Linda Rondstat or Pat Benetar but I have heard worse

She can’t sing a lick, writes bubble-gum “Country” and has now crossed over to Pop music. She is a manufactured product, thanks to her rich parents buying a record label and launching her career. She is the junk food of the music industry.

It’s not unusual for performers to lip sync their own songs in shows such as these, where timing is tight. Doesn’t mean they don’t write, sing, and play their own instruments otherwise.

The closeup of the twerking butt was pretty disgusting. And I’m not crazy about the song. But Taylor Swift is cute in it.

Nothing says “I’m country” like dating a Kennedy.

But urban ‘youth’ dressing like they raided the coat room at a country club?
