Ahhhhhh, so sorry Karen.
“I just don’t find her singing at all interesting. She sounds like lots of other people out there.”
Yes. That’s it in a nutshell. She doesn’t seem to have her own unique style or thing that I could detect.
She has more in common with Milli Vanilli, she lip syncs her concert, and rehearses her ad libs. If there was a power outage, she would be exposed. Imagine trying to project her music past the first 10 rows of a casino floor show. Without the power of electricity and technology, she is a lounge singer. Only the rich and eccentric can possibly go to her shows. Or kids with rich and eccentric parents.
Ah milli vanelli. I read a bunch about that one. The singers could sing except the producer recorded the vocals himself and with other pro singers and preferred other vocals on top of Millie’s looks. That was more frank Fabian’s fiasco than Millie vanelli’s fault. The artists were used for their looks
We don’t have full access to the raw live vocals of Taylor swift. I suspect she sings it all. Lots of bands do use pitch correction in studio but it is tricky to use live without occasionally getting caught due to artifacts. Would need more inside info to fully know all that. The songs don’t sound that hard to me so I suspect she sings it live. Occam’s razor.
First of all. I have never attended a Taylor Swift concert or purchased any of her musical works. I do believe I have ever even searched/played her music on my Spotify account.
I do recall watching her as a teenager when she first appeared on the Country Music Awards many years ago.
Even then as a teenager I thought she had star appeal.
I typically do not listen to pop music at all. Rhythm and blues is more to my liking. I am 61. So I grew up listening to classic rock from the 60s & 70s.
You seem to assume I am a Taylor Swift fan and twice made derogatory statements regarding my IQ because of your incorrect assumptions.
All I have stated is that she is one of the most successful female singer songwriters of all time. Comparable to Madonna, Carly Simon and Joni Mitchell.
Yes, all her songs are very simplistic. Her target audience(the people actually BUYING her music) are teenage and younger girls. However, I know women in their thirties, forties and even fifties that are fans of her. Some of which spent thousands of dollars to take their daughter to her concert in Foxborough last summer. These are woman who make six figure incomes. A couple make MID six figure incomes.
So, you can bad mouth her simplistic writing, music and style. She certainly is NOT as good as a singer as Adele. She is not the musician that many woman who attended Berkley School of Music. She can not begin to play the guitar nearly as good as Bonnie Raitt. However, none of those people can sell out multiple nights at stadiums all over the world. Oh, and as far as my IQ. I graduated from SUNY & Syracuse University with a 3.65 GPA in Wood Products Engineering and a Minor in Marketing. I am a member of the phi Beta Kappa natioanal honor society. I am a 100% straight commission lumber trader. That means I earn EVERY dollar that I am paid.
