How did Taylor Swift get a record contract??

I work in a recording studio. I seriously mean it when I say that I can write a song and take just an ordinary girl off the street and bring her in and record her singing the lyrics (out of key and no experience). When she leaves the studio, we can take the pro-tools program and make her sound like a million bucks. With this program, we can literally zoom in on each note she sings and "clean it up". It is an unbelievable program. (and we have had to use it with professionals also. Otherwise, we'd be there for days trying to get them to sing it right. )


If little old me can do it, imagine the little cuties that are out there that are becoming over night sensations because of stuff like this.

I don't like her singing at all. if her songs come on the radio I have to change the station

she really must've been off because she has a great voice

Another cute girl with average talent with a fancy recording studio to help her sell records. Seen it a million times.

She must've been off, she sounded fine on Saturday Night Live.

I watched the CMA's the other night...thought that Shania was going to make her first post Mutt performance...and I have to say that Taylor Swift is one of the worst live singers I've heard in a while. She opened the show and it was just AWFUL. The worst is she won all 4 awards she was nominated for. She must be a "Studio" singer because in my opinion Brittany Spears sings better than Taylor...and that aint saying much. It must have been the "cuteness"...because she can't sing...at least, she can't sing live.

On a positive note, it was cool to see that Darius Rucker (Hootie and The Blowfish lead singer) won for best new artist. Don't think I've ever seen a Rock artist cross over with the success he's had into the Country Charts and win awards for it. Country has crossed over into pop on many occasions...but I've never seen it reversed. Guess that Burger King Commercial he did was for the best.
