Oh, John Rich really bothers me. His obnoxious, in your face political views are hard to separate from his music (which really isn’t that remarkable). I hope he fades away from the spotlight this year.

“When it comes down to all things Carrie related I adopt the Rhett Butler attitude because frankly my dear I don’t give a damn…..”

Then why are you contantly posting comments about her?

If Shania’s first album was any indication of her talent as a solo artist, then if it weren’t for Mutt she likeky never would have made it in country music here in the US (Canada yes, here no). Mutt is both a brilliant producer and songwriter with amazing pop and rock sensibilities and as Shania’s “Svengali” he transformed her into the star she became. Without Mutt around I think maybe it would be a mistake for Shania to get back into the country music game unless she found another muse of equal ability, and that’s not likely. She’s got enough money and kids to raise, so I think she should be in Garth Brooks style retirement.

I consider Carrie Underwood to be an extremely technically proficient female country music fembot with programming perfectly suited to American Idol audience types. I personally just don’t like the sound of Carrie’s singing voice, so I don’t care what she does with it regardless of how dazzling the vocal pyrotechnics. I enjoy these arguments about whether Carrie is truly a “country music artist” because as one of the two dominant females in the mainstream country music business these days it doesn’t really matter. Carrie and Taylor Swift are redefining the Top 40 concept of country music whether its intentonal or not. When it comes down to all things Carrie related I adopt the Rhett Butler attitude because frankly my dear I don’t give a damn…..

Note to Craig Morgan: Should’ve signed to a major label years ago, then you wouldn’t have had to wait to be inducted. You just weren’t ‘good business’ till Columbia got you.

Another note to Craig, why don’t you move your pathetic ass over and make way for some real talent, like Hank.

yes, he touched a nerve – even then.

Exactly. Either way, she sounds amazing.

Or it could just be that Carrie never met a glory note she didn’t love, whatever it does to the meaning of the song.
