Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson, 43, had harsh words for Taylor Swift, 20, in an interview with Nylon Guys magazine (via E!).

Robinson, said of Swift's music: "I find it embarrassing that adults are like, 'Taylor Swift is very talented.' She's not. She might be cute, but she's horrible," he told the magazine.

He then ranted about packaged artists.

'They have stylists who dress them, they make records with producers who play a chord into the computer and it all comes out the same...When you have computers doing it all for you...there's no individuality. Singing isn't always about being on key; it's about emotionality.'

1. He may be a douchebag but I agree with him on that point.

I don't get her appeal. But to each his own.

2. i challenge people

to listen to her "sing" without the music
he is right she is horrible
she is however a talented songwriter

3. It's one of those bricks tossed from a glass house posts

I'm not a Taylor Swift fan (I can't even say that I know one of her songs), but Robinson is just a thief and a frigging burnout. He and his brother keep churning out the same two songs over and over and over and over again...crap like "Remedy" (warmed-up Humble Pie leftovers) and "She Talks To Angels" (Rod Stewart meets "Wild Horses"). They break up, they reunite, they break up, they reuinte...and they keep recording the same damned two songs over and over and over.

The only reason I'm not publicly inviting the bearded little pretzel stick to bite me is that I haven't had a recent tetanus shot.

4. What's horrible is escalating contract rider demands like this beause....

you happen to have a hit on MTV.

Peruse at will the entire eight pages, because they reek of "better get it while we can. We'll be playing State Fairs in 6 months.".

5. "Puppet Show and Spinal Tap"

I got halfway through that thing before my head exploded. When the hell was the last time anyone bought one of their albums?

8. That's nothing...

typical rider and not too excessive at that. Unfortunately, this is how they can weed out the decent promoters from the lame ones. they are also pretty right on about the non disposable utensils etc...

They do however, drink really shitty beers.

6. She played one of the country awards shows live...

I thought she was flat the whole time and she just sounded horrible. She got a standing ovation. WTF?

7. Robinson stole that line from me

I've been saying that she's horrible since I first heard her.
