Billy, You.are.fired.  

so...we shouldn't like her because she gave a bad performance once? what about your neo grunge, wanna be hipster shit that passes for music that never fails to deliver sold out concerts with blown out, drunk off their a$$es, barely able to stand musicians? Because um...how the eff is that talent and something that deserves a reward? Yeah her music isn't always mind-blowingly original in terms of lyrics. but most music isn't. because it talks about the human experience. like, shared experiences and sh*t. stuff we all have in common. and commonalities are usually not ground-breakingly unique. because then we couldn't all relate. case in point, Passion Pit's "Batty Lashes" lyrics: "You want a friend who can be your lover You want a lover who can be your friend" Wow, how paradigm breaking. How utterly deep. How much less focused on emotions and hell, even dating, than Ms. Swift. I get it, she's not awash with upper middle class angst, she doesn't dress like a whore or hate her mom. She doesn't even make underage drinking or having a drug habit look cool. This makes her totally hateable. Go worship at the alter of Kurt Cobain, things ended really well for that young blonde singer/songwriter.  

Wow, Biancaj told you! I <3 Taylor Swift. She actually has a great voice live, just had an off performance. She was probably nervous, Stevie Nicks is a Goddess!!! Fleetwood Mac changes lives :)  

Billy Gray, You are a worthless human being. Keep your rude and cold opinions to you damn mother self. xoxo -Gossip Girl  

I'm sorry people, Billy speaks the truth! Taylor Swift is not all that, All the awards she is receiving is mainly do to the FACT that she is getting sympathy votes all because of stupid Kanye West. Now I am not going to deny that it was messed up for what he did but lets face it she is not all that talented! All she is doing is the same old bubble-gum pop songs that Britany Spears and Boy bands were making people go wild. I was actually there at the awards when the Kanye-incident happened, I heard her sing and its nothing to be wowed over. If anything I think she and her followers are tone deaf..lol. But in her own right she gives girls a positive influence to look for...for now, because that was the same thing that was said for Jaimie-Lynn Spears and Miley Cyress and now one is a baby mama and the other is on her way to singing on a stripper pole! I do understand the positive role model but other than that, not much is going for her. I do feel that she has a better voice than cyrus and I can stomache her for a little longer but again I don't buy into the Swift hype. Don't be mad at Billy Gray for speaking the truth, its his opinion and the anti-taylor swift crowd also. If you can't stand the heat...I guess you better stay outta the kitchen.. Laterz  

swift is one of the most irritating artists ever. she writes her own songs. ok, yet they all are about her whining about some boy (who dumped her, doesn't like her, loves her, etc etc). OK WE GET IT. YOU WERE AWKWARD ONCE! YOU'RE NOT ANYMORE. GET OVER IT. stop writing about high school. you're 20. he songs have not matured with her age. she's always whining about some dumb fake relationship she's having with the next popular teenybopper. i'm sure she sucks as a gf, no wonder joe jonas dumped her ass over the phone. not to mention, taylor lautner is like 17 (no matter how hot she is). swift is extremely immature and caught up in beinga goody two shoes. my 15 year old sister has more edge than hear. she's gotten so boring, nothing about her interests me. DO SOMETHING!  

YOURE RIGHT TAYLOR SWIFT SUCKS. and her "songwriting" is lame. billy gray is a prophet  

hey im sorry but the fact she writes her own lyrics is guarantee of nothing.billions of people write their own songs that are an eternity better than swift's and dont get the recognition taylors undeservingly gettin. besides, have you heard her new single mine? and read about her next cd? its exactly the same as everything she ever did. shes gonna be 40 and still be writing bout boys and broken hearts. boo hoo  

I so totally agree with you, Billy! Keep telling 'em like it is!  

The real question is who did swift have to blow or pay off to get to where she is. The first time I saw the video of "love story" I stared in disbelief at just how horrible it was. The lyrics were crap, her singing wasn't on key, and there was no emotional depth to it at all. I wondered how it was possible, then I remembered that Miley Cyrus sells records these days too. I thought my god, who ever wrote this needs to be fired. Then I find out she writes it herself. It's really sad that the excuse people give for this is that she writes her own music. Hell, there are tons of tiny bands no one's heard of that write their own music and they not only have talent, but stage presence as well.  

Taylor swift is the best singer...and don't u dare say that about her.  

You know, the problem with you guys is that you don't understand the heart of a teenage girl who doesn't want to smoke or drink or do drugs...in case you didn't know, some of us don't want to listen to the sex & drugs crap Ke$ha and Lady Gaga has, & by our own free will, too. Plus, boys are typically what we think about. I'll bet most of the people who voted for her weren't doing it out of sympathy...they were probably teenage girls who feel sort of a connection with Taylor due to her writing ability. She has found a way to put into words/song what most of us cannot, and that's why she's popular. So if you would rather listen to Lady Gaga's drug & sex talk or Beyonce's catchy but none the less the same songs then go ahead. But don't be surprised when Taylor wins again ;)  

Well...I believe that she is slightly retarded.She has a vacant stare. Most of the girls in her audience has never had a period. She has an incredible promotional team. Their promotion greatly exceeds her talent. She needs to be on Nickolodeon. Thanks to Kanye, the world is gonna have to listen to her yodeling at every major award show.This is cruel and unusual punishment.  

@The Heart Of A Not-So-Typical Teenage Girl: @The Heart Of A Not-So-Typical Teenage Girl: I heard that she was homeschooled since she was 15. So.... when she was 15 i'm assuming she didn't experience anything her song '15' described. Lady Gaga cannot be compared to Taylor Swfit... Lady Gaga might be overly sexual, but she's not doing it for the guys, she representing her sexuality and sexual freedom (which is different). She's musically matured from her debut album, while Taylor Swift, at age 20 is suspended in a fairy-tale child- like state. All Swift is moan about her last boyfriend. Okay, alot of teenage girls are thinking that, but COME ON, she's a terrible role model? So your solution to a break up is to listen to Taylor Swift cry about wearing tshirts and sitting on bleachers while she's really bedecked with sparkly dresses, expensive shoes and flawless hair and makeup? She is SUCH a hypocrite, and brings the perception of teen girls down. I'm a teenage girl that while may have guys on her mind ALL the time, has bigger things to do in her life. Has deeper thoughts to understand, and more painful emotions to sort out. Taylor Swift makes the life of a teenager seem so one-dimensional. Is life's goal to get a boyfriend and be happy about it, and if you don't you've failed? Life is not a fairytale. Life is indescribably painful and wonderful at the same time, and boys are only one part of it.
