In 1998, Jewel Kirchner was as popular as any female artist. IMO, she is more talented than Taylor Swift by far....she had an incredible two year run and lost a lot of popularity in mainstream. After switching back and forth between genres, she released a fully country album in 2008...and it debuted at #1. Very, very few country artists maintain mainstream success. I think you can count on Swift being among those. |

Oh and by the way, it's nice to have a reasonable argument with you for once without you making fun of me! Don't make a habit of it though ;) |

Sorry, I see not a single thing that is unique about her. Maybe you simply haven't listened to enough music. |

you also have to realize that there are other artists out there that don't get radio/tv love that sell out shows in 1 minute. that sell out every show on tours. that have just as big fanbases in the states as they do in europe, asia, and south america. that WILL still be around in the future or leave behind a legacy. I can't even remember what was number 1 (cd sales) last year during this time but i'll never forget when Nirvana released "Nevermind" (or bleach for that matter). The current "top 10" will NEVER have that sort of significance in the music world. ever... br |

Indeed. Hell how is she not basically the same thing as Leann rimes. She was a country music star who became very popular very quickly at a young age. She sang a similar type of music about the same basic subject matter with similar lyrics. So were is the "originality." Hell Leann rimes was even a better vocalist than Taylor. |

Well Taylor sells out every stop as well. Last year the #1 album was from some rapper, but total album sales went to TS. And I would just say that there is a reason that she gets the radio/tv time. There are a ton of companies that promote their artists as much as they can. But there is only so much that labels can do for an artist. Eventually it comes down what the artist can do to please the public. |

LeAnn never connected with people the way that Taylor does, and that could be attributed to many different factors. I don't understand why everyone wants to discount what Taylor has done in her short tenure.... I mean, there are artists that I loathe, but I'm not going to say that they aren't popular or that they aren't appealing to a vast majority just because I don't listen to their work. |

And maybe she is a one hit, er, two album wonder, who knows? But that doesn't discount the impact that she's had the last couple of years and going forward. |

It pains me to say this, but Lady Gaga is probably the most "popular" entertainer in the world right now. God I hate where music is going.... |

I'll give you that, but what does that have to do with her originality? |

You know i started to say that too, but she annoys the fuck out of me, so i didn't even want to give her any credit on here. |

i don't see why you are putting so much more credit in her file when she's no different than the hundreds of other artists that have done the same exact thing over and over and over. she's the flavor of the week. there's nothing about her that shows that her fate will be any different than the others... br |

We aren't talking about a Bukowski following here. Sure as heck don't know what you are talking about in terms of 'connecting' with people. Edited by brumdog44, Apr 1 2010, 11:09 PM.
