I'm not a hater...I'm not stepping on anyone's toes...but Taylor Swift
just then had a rough go of it on the Grammys. I assume she can sing better than that? (I don't think it was Stevie, but I could be wrong.) I'm not making fun. I've been in bands and sucked plenty, but especially when I couldn't hear properly. I feel for her if it was her monitor set up. Ouch.

15. Yes, she does seem nice. Perhaps a little time to develop poise will help. nt

12. haven't heard her live much
so I don't know if it was her, but...I think her music is all pretty uninteresting pedestrian pop

I like good pop...I don't think hers is.

19. I don't get it
I think she won because she has cultivated this image of being a young, singer-songwriter. Everyone is focused on those facts and ignore that the songs aren't really that great. Oh well...

I will assume it was a monitor issue, but that was the worst version of Rhianon I have ever heard.

25. I've NEVER heard Taylor sing in tune while performing
I just don't get it. :shrug: She's a cute kid, but that's it.

I don't care for Stevie Nicks' voice either, but at least Stevie can write a decent song.
