This weekend is the Superbowl. All the hype will be there. Wonderful.
Here is the way I see it.
We know somethings coming. A new website. New photos, which is quite obvious that those are album and / or magazine shots for something.
I believe that a song is going to get released to stations that will hype it to death that they have a secret copy of it that they "only" will have the advanced copy of.
That will then snow ball, and off to the races we go! Magazine covers. TV appearances, most likely on IDOL like they do every year with an artist. Then the album (that is a CD to you yutes) will be in the stores.
Taylor Swift...we love ya, but your going to have to watch "THE PRO" in action now.

I do like Taylor Swift alot, but Taylor is nowhere near Shania's league. I read in the Canadian Encyclopedia online that Come on Over sold 40 million copies and her career total is 90 million records. Close to 100 million. Now, thats a Crossover Queen. I'm sure next album (this year, I hope) will make more of an impact.

Taylor does not have to watch anyone with how big she become I would argue that she is a bigger cross over artist than Shania ever was. She is huge.
lol!!! Now I know who you are. You are sybill but you came here pretending to be a Shania fan months ago. I always thought you comments were quite weird about how you always put down her looks and made comments about it.You tried to tip toe your way and be really soft but your comments were always a back handed compliment to Shania.
Anyway, you can't fool anyone. Taylor Swift is not even close to Shania's massive cross over appeal worldwide. Her album has not even been a top 5 in Europe while Shania was #1 all over Europe and Asia and Australia and South America where she was huge too.
Nobody even comes close to Shania's massive over worldwide cross over appeal. When you have one album alone sell close to 40 million worldwide and top charts worldwide then nobody comes close.
And Shania didn't have the advantage of myspace,facebook,intunes or the internet craze to get her music out there.
Shania is by far the biggest cross over artist of alltime and to make it even more amazing she had to fight her way to get respect and didn't have it handed to her. nashville hated her for crossing over but Taylor has had everything handed to her with no backlash.
NO backlash until now. She is being called the worst singer ever at the grammy awards and people are saying the grammy' s are a fraud to give her that award. I have never seen such harsh comments against a performer at the grammy's as were against Taylor Swift for her horrible performance at the grammy's and all her live performances. It is safe to assume that Swift will not be getting any grammy's anytime soon again. I am surprised Tommy didn't post all the horrible bad press Taylor has gotten for getting album of the year and her horrible singing. Even her label head has to defend her and come out and say something. Now that is desperated to slow the backlash when your own label head has to try to protect their investment and the person they tried to push and put money into. Any 14 yearold girl with money behind them could write the same lousy songs and sing even better than swift. Oh I forgot they also have to be blonde and skinny.

Hold on a second! Sybill? Is the same person that keeps putting down and trashing Shania on the CMT messageboard?
Of course she will deny it but I know that it is her. She was kicked off this board months ago and then shortly after all of a sudden Butter appears. At first butter pretends to be a Shania fan but she kept on giving Shania back handed compliments and always commenting on her looks and and back handed compliments on her music. She didnt want to be found out so she threw in a bunch of compliments to Shania too. But in my opinion this is no doubt Sybil.

Wow! How did this get so off track over the weekend?
Taylor Swift is not stuff Tommy puts on here. That why it's not on here. Yes, Taylor has had a smoother path to start her career. Yes, Taylor is very talented. She will be as big as Shania by the time she is 40.
But my point is that Shania IS the one who cleared the path. She took the hits in Nashville to allow the thing called "crossover" into country music.
So lets not take away from Taylor. But lets remember how she was able to get an easier start.

By the time Swift is 25 she will be a long distant memory. her very little talent was proven at the grammy awards and every live performance she does. It is all over the net how she can't sing. Any young girl could write the same lyrics she does. But those girls don't have their daddy buying shares into their record company and the record company putting putting lots of money to promote them. You were the one that brought up her name in this thread. It is embarrassing to even out her in the same league as a trend setter like Shania who took it to a level that will never be reached worldwide,
That is what happens when you are over exposed and are pushed on the public and you have very little talent. Swifts talent was way overratted by the media and her label trying to push her.
I have nothing against her but I like real talented people like Beyoncee and Lady Gaga who do have great voices. Not only do they hit the high notes but they hit the right notes. Swift can't even hit any note.
So this thread got off track because you mentioned Swift in it. And then you got a few responses.
Did you eat paint chips as a child? Geeez, such issues.
Let's go with your premise that Taylor's daddy "paid" to get her into the record company. I don't share that belief, but just for the heck of it.
Who forced the purchase of millions of CD's and downloads? Heck, I'm 55 years old, no one forced me to buy the CD's. Not even my 15 year old daughter.
She is no Shania. That's never to be questioned. And she's no Martina when it comes to the high notes. But she's note going anywhere but Up! get it....Up.

If you are 55 and like her music than I have no comment lol!! 90% of her fans are teenagers and are songs done a million times before by other artists about young love. Hate to break it to you but she has reached her peak, the backlash has begun after her horrible grammy performace. And to answer your question who forced people to buy her cd's.Nobody did. The public is stupid and buy anything that is sold to them. Tons of crap artists and music are bought every day.When somebody is forced on you and the media forces them on you and the record company puts lots of money into you by promoting you then you are bound to get people buying your cd's and falling for the propoganda. But the real truth of how bad she is was found out on the big stage at the Grammys. She is not just a bad singer, she is horrible.None of her live performances could even compete with most average people on the street. If you want this thread to be about Shania then keep it about her but if you bring up someone with such little talent in a Shania thread then kevy will comment.

I am not the one listening to music meant for 15 yearold girls lol!!
Anyway lets get back the real topic of this thread and not wavor again.
I don't think Shania will have any music this year. I think she has no interest in music and is not taking it seriosly. I believe the blogs and her photos are just ways of taking fans minds off of music. If she had one bit of interest and was serious about music she would say something in her blogs or be excited about making new music. I am sad to say we are fans of an artist with little passion for any music. It will be 9 years next year since she has released a new album. Not even a one off performance for her fans or anything in that time. It is very clear to me she has never had any intention to make any music and is stringing the fans along. Wait for her next blog and see what she says. She told everyone she has exciting news to report and tell us in early 2010. If this news has nothing to do with new music at all then you know where her mind is at and you know how she just loves playing games with the fans. Personally to me her blogs are an insult and immature the way she talks in them. She talks about everything except music. And she knows that the fans want is to hear about new music but she ignores that subject because she is not working seriously on it. So with a sadness I think Shania has fooled us again and will not have any music this year.
If all it takes is a daddy with money and you can win grammies then why hasn't Billy Joels daughter won them or what about John Lennons son he never won a grammy.Dianna Ross's daughter also a singer never even had a hit record.I know there are plenty of other singers with money and there kids never had the success that Talyor has,and one bad performance isn't going to kill her career.The Who were terrible last night at the Superbowl,i guess thats it for them.
Exactly. Taylor can sing amazingly well. Sure she does not have a power voice like a Martina McBride, but Shania does not as well (she has said so herself). Shania and Taylor are both storytellers and they use their voices to craft a song; not over sing it. And one bad performance is not going to even put a bad dent in Taylor's career. She is huge right now and I see no way that it will stop anytime soon.
And it is amusing to see Shania fans blast Taylor (she cannot sing, she is just a pretty face, her sales were bought off by so and so) and to think that these are the SAME things that Shania and her fans have had to deal with. Pathetic. MANY, MANY people have said that Shania cannot sing over the years; thus, why she has not won the female singer country awards. So is that true?? Oh, yes, it is only true about Taylor (who some Shania fans see as a threat because of all her success and how she took over Shania's reins).
Taylor is not going anywhere. She will continue to rule the awards and charts. And she is only 20! And she has to be the sweetest and most down to earth star who has ever graced the music scene.
Taylor's music is not only for teenagers. If it was, ther's no way she would have the best-selling album of the year and 4 Grammys. Remember Taylor is what, 19? 20? Of course her songs are mostly about being a teen! However, a wide range of ages listen to and enjoy her music. Including myself.

Exactly Tommy! I am 30 years old and I love her music! It would be weird if her music was about getting divorced, her 20 year drinking problem, her kids!! She is a kid herself! And for a teen; her songwriting skills are off the charts! Writers just keep getting stronger and stronger as they age and gather more experiences--Taylor's writing will be just that much stronger in 10 years.
You don't sell cds and win grammies because daddy has money thats ridiculous.It takes talent,there are dozens of children from money that haven't made it in the music biz,or the movie biz for that matter.

Okay lets wait 2 years and see if she is still around lol!!! One bad peformance? lol!!! Every single one of her performances have been horrid. Her bad singing overshadowed her grammy win.
Sorry folks but she won't win another grammy in the main category again.
Tommy, you defend Taylor Swift but why not see both sides. Why did you not post any of the bad press she has gotten all over the internet for her bad singing on many perfmances. Just for her grammy performance there were hundreds of articles saying she can't carry a note.
Money can buy you anthing, including success. Taylor has no talent in my opinion and now many more people see it. She is just a really bad talent in my opinion.

Every artist has performances where he/she doesn't sound all that great. So what! That's part of the business. Shania has had several and she has been singing alot longer than Taylor. Does that make her a BAD singer???

Sorry but Taylor sucks big time. I've seen her live on TV a few times and it's a painful site. I know Kanye acted like a jerk at the VMA but I don't blame him for opening his big mouth to tell it like it is.
Comparing Taylor to Shania is like comparing Britney Spears to Lady Gaga.
Wow! How did this get so off track over the weekend?

With all the success that has been bestowed upon Taylor Swift I am beginning to suspect that she's done more than have stock broker daddy's money buy her way. I smell casting couch here. Shania got criticized for being too sexy but she had to really bust her butt to get to where she is. Yet Ms. Swift looks like a modern day Cinderella yet lacks talent. Her only talent is in her songwriting in which case she should leave the singing to the pros.
Wasn't kevy the one who was complaining last year that Shania lived like a hermit and didn't keep in touch with her fans?now he is complaining about her blogs,she can't win.
He gets off on complaining about everything and everybody. He only loves himself.
I would argue that she is a bigger cross over artist than Shania ever was. She is huge.
