As if her debut song wasnt bad enough, I am officially already tired of Jessica Simpson as a Country art. If only for her father and the media circus she brings with her. Yuck. And if the record labels want to know why fans are not buying CD's, perhaps they should look into customer loyalty. If your a fan of an artist, you really are a second class citizen if you buy his/her CD on the week it is released. Just wait a year and you will get the same CD with 5 songs. B.S.

Releasing that song, while the original (and another copy) are still receiving plenty of radio play is pure commercial activity. I assume he's had plenty of exposure to the business to retain control, so that decision is totally on him. Don't excuse him because you like him. On the other hand, Taylor Swift is obviously being 'handled.' She's the cow being milked for money and it will destroy whatever chance she has for a real career. With this rerelease, her shelf life just shortened. She's being sold to the Walmart shopper just like a T-shirt or the $5 24-pack of Pepsi products.

I'm a bit young, but its hard to imagine such a day, at least post WWII. Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Keith Whitley, Glen Campbell, George Jones, Tanya Tucker: these were great performers, but classy is not a word that comes to mind. Perhaps country performers were thought of as classier than pop performers pre- WWII. I admit I know people who believe country music is somehow "more moral" than other forms of music. This claim has always seemed pretty dubious to me. “she’s making me remember fondly the days when country singers were thought of as classier than rock and pop stars…”

They are trying to milk this for all it's worth! At least she is offering different versions and a DVD but still, 3 releases of essentially the same CD is a bit much.
