RE: "Still The One" Las Vegas shows

HumbleKevy · Senior Member

I have to say something. I used to be called a hater a few years ago when I posted here saying Shania was not motivated and she will use any excuse not to make music. I was proven right but I also stopped a few years ago complaining because I have lots going on in my life and it is just a waste of time. I complained back then because I was a huge fan and wanted her to still make great music. That all died with her break up with Mutt. I was called lot of names here just for speaking the truth. I respect everyones opinions who is a fan whether they be negative or positive. I don't give my full opinion anymore because i moved on and I don't want to upset any fans here. I will always be a fan of the music mutt and shania made and I was a fan in 1993 before Mutt. I will welcome any new music but we all know deep down she has no desire to make any. As for Butters, I don't know why you concentrate on her looks and clothes so much with so much negative comments about it. This has nothing to do with music or no music. Like some of the stuff you post about her looks is absurd and seems like jealousy to me. Shania is far from perfect and nobody is but Shania usually before like to have fun with her style. like who gives a crap if it is tacky sometimes lol she doesn't care. And you point out her nipple showing? i didn't even notice. It is strange you concentrate so much of your posts on her appearance.

Great post Kevy! (A few years ago I don't think I would ever say that.)

I agree, Butters seems obsessed with Shania's "looks." Who cares what she wears, if it might be weird, or if her nipple is showing. Who cares! Grow up!

HumbleKevy · Senior Member

come on, some of my posts were amazing back then lol just teasing. It took me a while to move past it but real life gets in the way and you realize how you can be doing more productive things.

Izy Twain · Senior Member

I don't get how anyone can be so mean to a person who is so beautiful inside and out and has given so much be so mean and nasty and hatful. Like a person like Butters who has no self esteem and is intimidated by her beauty. Butters grow up and stop being so jealous towards someone who is perfect and beautiful. No pity for fake fans like you.

Anyways I'm stoked to see her vegas show again :)

peever · Senior Member

welcome back the new and positive Kevy! thanks for that great post. And i agree Shania will always be shania to me, the amazing lady who made 4 outstanding albums, and now has a fantastic vegas show, She is a legend in the country world, obviously now who cares what she has interest in albums or no albums, she has had a great run, and people still love her, and millions will love her even more in the future, Im glad she is at peace now with her family, and overcame, all her stresses, Voice, Divorce parents death, etc

Kevy I agree. I have said some over the top things as well. It was a good way to vent, but our rants don't change the reality of things. But like you said, life goes on. I am also in a better place as well. If she ever decides to record again, great; I'll check it out. But I don't hold out for it. I'll always remember her. My relationship with music has changed as well. We are living in a new century and twentieth-century styles of music still top the charts. For example, Justin Bieber is Vanilla Ice reloaded and Chris Brown is a Michael Jackson wannabe, while Miranda Lambert's doing her best Loretta Lynn. Country music these days sucks bollocks and Shania on a bad day can still outdo these award-winning sock puppets pushing 50, and she knows it. The playing field is unfair and that would be a hollow win. All I can say is that "hating" on an artist who is technically speaking a has been is the same as still hating on Courtney Love for "ruining" Nirvana. Shania still looks smokin'. If her 'racy' pictures are bothersome to a few, check out Katy Perry's and Rihanna's soft core porn pictures that leave nothing to the imagination, except for a video cam.

Well said eilleen333.
I've been reading here for many years as a guest and those ridiculous posts by Butters always make me laugh hard.
Sometimes I don't even know if I should rather laugh or cry about so much ridiculousness, but then I remind myself of the saying "other countries, other customs".
I don't know were Butters is from, but from his posts it must be the U.S.
It's just prude Americans.
And yes, as a guy in the U.S. you almost get arrested for wearing the short swimming pants (Speedos) instead of wearing those knee length board shorts at a public smimming pool or beach.
They need to get over the fact that we were all born naked.
@Butters: It's the most normal thing on earth that nipples get hard when it's cold, like for example in air-conditioned rooms and it occurs that they show even through a bra.
It has nothing to do with sexual arousal, but maybe you should take some Biology classes to learn more about this.
Why don't you post your hateful and ridiculous comments right under Shania's original posts on facebook or twitter or to her management instead of annoying everyone who's reading or posting here?
Would be interesting to see what Shania has to say about all this **** as she is often replying to comments. She would probably have a laugh as well.
By the way Shania is not only wearing hotpants under her black dress, she's also wearing nude tights.

Wonderful to meet my biggest fan *extends hand out for a hand shake*
Nice to know that you have been lurking around for so long and my posts drive you insane. LOL!
And your reading comprehension skills are very, very poor. Perhaps an English language issue? I never said that a woman's nipples do not get hard. Or that every time a woman has a hard nipple that it is sexual arousal. So try reading before commenting--it would be less embarrassing on your part. The difference is that other female artists choose not to post pics of themselves in a kids charity t-shirt with their nipples protruding out. That is the difference between classy and trashy (a line that Shania has trouble differentiating between). She has always craved the attention physically. She has come across over the years as very insecure.
And yes, label all Americans as prudes. Very intelligent. Then I will go ahead and label all Europeans like yourself "euro trash". See how it works?
And I can post my comments anywhere I please. They obviously deeply, deeply bother and upset you. Sorry to keep you up at night. So I guess freedom to dress skanky is a European right but freedom for others (like myself) to say what I want should be censored. Very intelligent.

I bet there are hundred more fans „lurking around“ on this message board but not becoming active members because of all the negativity on here spread by you.
Of course you can post your comments anywhere you please, but someday you might be the only one left on here and just talking to yourself.
I mean take a look at the amount of people posting here. There are only about ten active members left because you have scared everyone away.
You should rather reread your hundreds of embarrassing post instead of worrying if one or two posts by other people are embarrassing.
Even if I tried my best, I would never be able to outnumber the amount of embarrassing comments you have posted here over the years.
I won’t discuss about this nipple picture anymore. I’ve already made my opinion clear on that and discussing with you is pointless anyway.
I can only feel sorry for people, who must be that lonely and frustrated in their lifes that they have to take all their anger out on people they don’t even know personally.
And don't worry, your posts do NOT bother or upset me. Pity is all I feel when reading your posts.

Glad to know that I have the power to keep all these hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of all these so-called "lurking" fans away from posting about their idol. Such power I have. It has nothing to do with Shania having done virtually nothing with her career in over a decade. Nah! It just mean old me keeping ALL these HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of super fans from posting.

I should start to harness my power. I could power cities apparently.

And glad to know that I don't bother you in the slightest ;) Not a single one of all the thousands of post that you have been reading from me has ever bothered you. Good to hear.

And you are free to feel whatever you want towards me :) Opinions of faceless internet people are meaningless to me.

Cheers!

Shania has made a career out of her looks. She has made them the front and center part of her career from the very beginning. Her looks are fair game. She has used them to gain insane success. So they are not off limits. Every article ever written about Shania has included her looks. Of course they should have nothing to do with her music, but if a person is being honest and realistic, they would realize that she would never of had achieved what she has achieved (or snagged her billionaire first husband) without her looks.

Exactly. Who cares what I say? That should be the big question that is so odd. Why some people cry over their keyboards and pull their hair out when I dare say that Shania dresses skanky at times. My opinion. If you don't agree, then just pass over my post. So easy. Some would say that I'm "obsessed" with her looks. I will say some are "obsessed" with my posts and opinion.

I think people like yourself are the actual fake fans. Thinking that Shania is this perfect creature that can never be criticized speaks more of your self-esteem and mind-set and lack of grasp on reality then any of my posts ever could.

So I guess Shania's millions of female fans must all be lesbians if they only bought her music and attended her concerts for her looks lol. Shania has female and male fans and the amount of both sexes is quite balanced. It seems to me she even has more female fans than male ones. I became a fan because of her music and later I discovered her awesome personality which made me an even bigger fan. I don't care about her sexy looks. She could enter the stage the way she is dressed in her private life in base cap and comfy loose clothes and it wouldn't matter to me.

"416 user(s) visited this forum in the past 24 hours" - so these people must have all been visiting here accidentally and the thousands of people commenting and liking Shania's posts on Facebook are also not really interested in Shania and what she has been doing in the last years.

In the last 4 years Shania has written an autobiography, did a TV documentary and produced and has running a successsful and amazing Vegas show. To me that is a lot she has been doing.

Try writing a book by yourself and see how long it takes! Other celebrities hire ghostwriters to write their books.

Many people didn't know about her before and became fans because of the book or the documentatry. Through the book and documentary she inspired people and encouraged them to stay strong.

EXUSE ME BUTTERS !!!!!!! LEAVE MY GIRL SHANIA ALONE you mess with her your messing with a huge fan and I no plenty of them. I know for one who would love to smack you so why don't you go pick on someone your own size. I am a fan not a fake I love Shania i a least support her and I am big fan not a fake unlike you Shania is a very very special person to me . I wont get too into because it too personal . And I am not a ashamed to tell the world I love Shania Twain because I do . So you can take your fake negative self a post some where else. Its what you write and say Butter;s that get people reactions going. and hard to ignore your selfless comments. You just want attention.

HumbleKevy · Senior Member

okay lets settle down everyone. Shania does not hate anyone nor does she spend time caring what is said about her. She lives her life the way she wants to and that is her choice. I don't agree with most of what butters says but I say my peace and just let it go. Shania is very far from perfect like every single one of us. I gained perspective on this a long time ago. yes we all want music and miss Shania topping the charts but she has no desire to. Yes butters comments can be absurd about Shania and her looks but just let it go. She can have her say on a post. I said my peace once and won't argue with her . Go out a play some baseball or throw a football or go for a run lol We are all shania fans and we come in different sizes,shapes,colors and opinions.

barebackwarrior · Senior Member

Guys, no threats of violence. Passions run high, but the only way to teach others is through example and letting them get it in their own time. Love truly conquers and I doubt that the sharpest critics can be truly happy. When I had my outburst I had just survived a real bad natural disaster. I decided to put that behind me and have a better outlook. You also have to pick your fights and see what really matters, both in and out of entertainment. Maybe Shania will do a Prince and release new music after more than a decade away. For all that we know, she could be renegotiating her contract and that's no fun. We'll never know since she is private and reclusive. I understand where some come from with the "looks" thing. I will cite an example from my growing years. I knew a classmate in high school who liked to dress in form fitting clothes, and everyone made a big fuss about it saying that she dressed like a "slut" and other mean things. So one day out of curiosity I asked her why she liked to dress that way even though she received negative attention. She told me that she didn't dress that way for attention; she liked "feeling like a girl" (MIFLAW anyone?) and that attire in her opinion was the best way to celebrate that. I could not understand, but she was a loner and saw that she stood by her "I'm not looking for attention" statements. And no, I didn't see her hanging out with random guys; she was very much her own girl and had a job, something that her peers did not do at the time.

This brings me to say and I will quote rappers who say "haters gonna hate." The press makes their living about talking about other people and forming an image from them. Of course they will talk about her good looks and she engages in it as well. If you can't beat them, join them. Yes, Shania did sign up for this, but it takes a life of its own. Ok, so the woman loves to dress up. Why should she dress down in order to be taken more seriously? Besides, if she wore a hijab, we could still see her beautiful face and graceful persona shine through. And those men would still lust her and wonder what was underneath that hijab. Shania Twain is the reason why country music (especially women) gets first billing in mainstream music these days. Not even Garth Brooks pulled it off all the way. She is the reason why Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton have crossed over into the small screen (e.g. commercials and TV shows), something country artists could not pull off without negative stereotypes and ridicule previously.

Shania used her international connections to utilize fashion as a game changer in entertainment. Some may disparage clothes and say that untalented persons use their knowledge of good taste (e.g. looks) to get ahead, but this need not be true if your heart is in the right place. Look at the movies. If the characters did not dress up, we would not see them as credible. Take for instance Scarface and American Hustle. Those actors had to be very talented to wear the clothes that would define their characters and thus convince us, the audience that they were real. Besides, the producers and directors would not invest in high fashion designers if the actor stunk. Music is an act as well. The advent of the music video helped to bring fashion as a tool that could enhance the audio product and experience.

Shania's had so many iconic looks like her live Come On Over performance at the CMA's in her monochromatic pink cowgirl getup, FTMO video, TDIMM video, TWIM video and so many more. Before she became a superstar, she was just a pretty singer like many out there. She still sang her heart out without the couture outfits and glam makeup.

Apparently looks wasn't on Mutt's mind when he dumped Shania for ex-best friend, not a stunner in the looks department. What can be said about the homely looking woman that snagged a billionaire? To quote Dixie Chicks, how much "mattress dancing" did she do with Mutt to have all that she has? At least Shania invested into the marriage by writing songs and performing. What has the mistress done other than live off her former best friend's hard earned money thanks to her good looks? Is it implicitly Shania's fault that she was cheated on, dumped and divorced? For being too pretty, vain and not looking after her man?

I think it's great that the people are taking so many pics during the shows! I guess they kinda changed the camera rules. When I was there December 1 they we making such a fuss about the camera in my purse...
And the selfies in the audience are no problem at all. Everyone seems to be taking them. I think it's great!!

Now I want a Shania selfie I couldn't agree more. Ya back in June when I went I was watched like a hawk just because I was decked out in Shania gear. So I didn't dare take my camera out. When she came to hug me I didn't bring out the camera. I just sang and gave me a kiss on the cheek. So next time I go will for have to get a selfie or even better I'll get one when she comes here to Calgary in July.

You don't have to be a lesbian to be lured by a fellow female star's looks. Very silly comment. Many girls buy products and merchandise from female celebs because they want to look like them and be cool. Look at Kim Kardashian. She has many female fans who want to be her. Sure Shania has talent. But her looks have helped her greatly. They made her the "it girl" for women in the 90's. Woman are just as susceptible as men when it comes to being drawn into the look and sex trap of female stars. To think her looks have not helped her get to such a high place in her career is very naive.

Or perhaps (and this not condoning the affair in ANY way) he just liked the other woman's personality better. I have found it immensely silly how some fans keep saying, "How did Mutt cheat on beautiful Shania..." like it would have been ok to cheat on Shania if she wasn't so pretty.....looks have nothing to do with cheating. Perhaps Mutt didn't like Shania's personality. Just because she is pretty doesn't mean a man will want to stay with a woman his whole life. Perhaps this other woman had a more compatible personality with Mutt and they got along better. Again, cheating is always wrong. But it is also wrong to think that just because a woman is pretty that a man will never cheat on her or tire of her personality. There is a lot more than looks when it comes to a relationship. I'm sure the newness and wonder of being with a pretty lady like Shania wore off after years of being married to her. It wasn't like Mutt was some crazed fan who woke up next to her every day saying, "Gee golly, she is sure pretty!" They had fights. She annoyed him. It was a normal marriage until he wanted out.......

This may be true, but it is troubling the way that divorces get pegged on the women. If a woman suffers from domestic violence at the hands of her partner, she "provoked" him. If a woman is raped by a man, the first question that gets asked is if she was wearing provocative clothing. Again, the provocation argument leads to the biggest crimes, abuses and injustices against women. So, how do they not provoke men? Even women wearing burqas in the Middle East "provoke" men and you cannot even see their face!

It seems like you were a fan at some point and later became disappointed and dislike Shania the person. I respect your opinions, but being overly critical of Shania using her looks is missing the real problem (i.e. with women): the men who compel women to use their looks to be successful. How many women executives are there in showbiz? If Mutt was truly concerned about his ex-wife's talents being respected without her looks and anatomy coming into play, wouldn't he "suggest" that she tone it down. After all, he was her husband. Shania changed her sound and look after meeting Mutt and it is doubtful that she would have had a problem with showing less skin if he would have asked her to. If we are to use the exploitation argument, Mutt played a very big role behind the scenes. This would seem pimp-esque, wouldn't it? The only difference was that this was not a blaxploitation film. After the woman went over the hill, he discarded her not unlike young starlets once they are past their peak. The man was married twice before meeting Shania.

I am sure that both parties were wrong (Mutt and Shania) and we may never know just how. Because her biography's account is glossed over IMHO. She was engaged to another fellow when she met Mutt. If I am not mistaken, Mutt was also with another person when he met Shania. So, if both of them supposedly cheated on each other's significant others, what could they expect from each other? Shania was a rock and roll wife (she knew what she was getting into) and it seems like Mutt was a good boy considering the reputation of those guys. But then again, his reclusiveness is not an indicator of kindness. Hopefully, Shania secured her fortune and estate, and did not let Mutt administer it all during their marriage.

Isn't this the same guy who said that Shania's horse pictures were creepy. Looks like Perez also had a change of heart with Shania. So good to see (no sarcasm here).

I guess he just writes what sells best... Or maybe he was a bit negative in the past because he didn't quite get it, and now that he's seen it with his own eyes he felt the magic?

I was in attendance at the 6/1/14 show. It was my second time seeing the show, and my fourth time seeing Shania overall. I saw her when I was three in 1999, during the Come On Over tour

A second time, when I was eight in 2003, during the Up! tour. A third time, during opening night of her residency in December of 2012. On opening night, I was in the nosebleed seats at the very top, back wall area.

This time (last night) I was fifth row, middle front orchestra. One of those pics with Shania up there in Tommy's post is actually me. Shania's music has helped me through so much.

I was so glad to finally get to see her again, and for her to stop in the audience.

She was so nice and humble. She definitely has improved her vocals since December of 2012. There is NO doubt about that.

There was a group behind me who was also in attendance on opening night as well and I heard them saying that she was not that good on opening night, but they were going to give it another shot and they were so glad she did.

It was an unforgettable experience that I was able to share with my friend Brianna. She took all of these photos I have. The no camera rule is still trying to be enforced by security, but there is no doubt that Shania does not mind.

The couple in the front row took video of "I'm Gonna Getcha Good" and she didn't do anything. She smiled, and waved at them. I recommend it to all who can go.

Hi,

In Shania's case I think she is savvy enough to realize that social media avenues are not hurting the attendance numbers she has at her shows. I think she realizes that it's free publicity and doesn't see anything wrong with it. Besides everybody who's anybody is doing the selfies and how can you do selfies if you don't allow cameras. She's been stopping and posing for them all along so it's not as if she isn't aware that the cellphones are there and you know she knows people are recording stuff. I think as I said the free publicity isn't hurting anything so why not and Caesar's won't say anything because it's free publicity for them also. For all involved it is a win win situation.

Just my thoughts,

Warmest regards as always,

Tommy, I re-linked them all to full size. So sorry. I thought I did that as I was posting them last night. smile Couldn't have asked for a better experience or a better person to see in concert. Shania is FANTASTIC.

Love it that one pic the guy looks like he's passed out hhaha. If you zoom in on the western scene setting and see a photo of two young girls is that Shania and Carrie when they were little? Thanks for the share Cody. I for sure cant wait to go back.

I noticed the guy who looked asleep too. And I noticed the picture in the western scene and I think it is Shania and Carrie. They have photos hanging all over that set from childhood days, so it only makes sense that it is also them up there.
