I think Taylor Swift is a ok singer but she isnt at all Country and never will be.

Jim and I seen het this past Sept when she open for Rascal Flatts.

I think she will last but she will have to change her style to do it. When all those teeny boppers leave her then I hope she chooses to become more country. But I think pop diva is more likely. I think she does show some talent as a writer.

:Yawn:…yeah Taylor is tops on the Billboard. No surprise there. She writes extremely well and knows how to reach all the 7-18’s year olds out there including the added addition of MTV teens. The CD sounds great with very personal insights that are so real. I just hope they aren’t too disappointed when they hear her live in concert.

I wrote an article on our website about that quote yesterday. I think we all knew it was coming especially with Big Machine signing the international marketing deal with Universal. I think she is hurting herself in the long run with it. But hey get your money while you can if you dont think you will last.

So…based on this and the quote on today’s news round-up, how long have they been INTENTIONALLY marketing her music to genres where it doesn’t belong? I guess money is money and music is music, huh?

This is totally inappropriate as I am about to quote someone from USAToday online quoting someone else, but if someone can refute this please do:

Regarding Taylor Swift,

She will be headlining a European & Australian tour next Spring. As a bit of advanced publicity, Reuters interviewed her labels management. They asked the question, “How do you think her music will translate to the European Market, since Country isn’t one of our bigger genres?”

Her Managements response?

“We don’t consider Taylor a Country singer at all. She is a Pop singer & her competition is more along the Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Christina Aguillara, lines.”

Now, I for one, find this an incredible statement from a manager whose artist has had an amazing amount of support from Country radio & the Country music buying public. I have a feeling that once Country radio gets wind of this there is going to be some major repurcussions.

I have been saying all along she is not Country, if nothing else this just supports my argument.

PS: The girl absolutely cannot sing live.”

There’s a country station in our market that plays southern classic rock like CCR, the Eagles, and the J. Geils Band. They call the station “Today’s Country.” In other words, “today’s country” music is 30 years old. Makes no sense.

I was actually kind of surprised that Taylor Swift sold so many albums. This looks to be another year of her album never dropping from the top 20. That CMT camp should be interesting haha.

Here’s Trace Adkin’s “music video” of Can’t Outrun You off of his new album..

I don’t know if it’s the official music video or not. It’s mainly video of him recording the song. Either way, it’s pretty awesome.
