Tommy's #1 SHANIA TWAIN SuperSite Message Board

I thought the song "God Aint Gonna Getcha For That" was a great song on her first album. She wrote the song alone and it was before she ever met Mutt Lange. She wrote and recorded "This Man of Mine" before she met Mutt Lange and even though he changed the sound and the tempo of it, I thought that was a great song even if she did not touch it. She wrote "Leaving is the Only Way Out" and, I believe "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under", because it was mentioned that she tried to pitch WBHYBBU to her team for her first album and they rejected it. She wrote "Aint No Particular Way" years before her and Mutt even put it on an album. I realize that a few of those songs had Mutts influence. But God Aint Gonna Getcha For That, This Man of Mine were both written before she even knew about Mutt Lange. Not to mention some of those songs before her first album that had the "rock" sound to them. She didn't seem to be insecure about those songs. I realize that things have changed, music has changed, time has gone by, her experiences are different. But at one point, she was just excited to write and record music and get it out to her fans. Now it seems that her insecurities are worse then they ever were, she doesn't have the drive that she used to (probably because now she's rich and famous and doesn't need to get the music out to the fans). I think these new songs will be just fine. We as the fans know that her songs are going to sound different because Mutt was not involved in the project. We know that she had to go through rehabilitation with her voice, so her voice will more than likely sound deeper and more raspy. We know all of that and we still stand by her as fans.
