I do NOT see (or HEAR) what all the hype is about re: Taylor Swift. She's just one more famous singer who really doesn't have all that good of a voice. She's surely another example of the fact that, in this world, it's not what you know (or can do), it's WHO you know (or who you DO!).

I think Taylor is a little young to be part of the doing anyone, but I have to agree that she sounds way off key in person and has a very average voice. It is clear but that is about it. She has no range at all. She just happens to be a teen who can strum a guitar and writes lyrics that all of the teenagers love, as they can relate to them. And we all know how the teenagers can make a star out of anyone. They buy the records, keep the twitters going and vote for people's choice awards. Taylor in no way compares to the other young country vocalists (Carrie, Kelly,etc.) I do not believe she deserves awards for anything other than record sales.

I can't see how she qualifies as a Country singer. She sounds just like Brittany and all the rest. No Country in her.

George Jones sure made a fuss about her country voice..!!!..Soooo refreshing to hear a beautiful country singer without that -TWANG- or speach voice that sounds like a mouth full of food and you wonder what they said..!!!..Alot of country need voice lessons to calm the TwanG..!!!!....

Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at Agelessmatch.com, a nice and free place for Younger Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

Not even all the older Singer Can do all that . Let alone a clean cut girl that’s down to earth, that our kid and grand kids can relate to and look up too..!!! Don’t See anyone else doing all she can do ..So you go girl , You make me proud of you and Country Music

connie: There's a lot of awesome country singers that write and sing their own songs (or write for other singers). This is just a part of the genre and certainly not exclusive to Taylor Swift. I agree she is great role model but she still can't sing. It appears that vocal talent is not a requirement in the People's Choice or Grammy Awards.
