Can someone please explain the Taylor Swift thing to me

[SearchMaster]

WTF is the one on the left wearing

ugh

That might actually be Taylor's bikini...she's worn one exactly like that in public in the past and is one of the reasons why she didn't look as hot as she could. She said something about never wanting to show her belly button in public which is why the picture I posted above made news recently.

 

[Naer]

pancakes anyone?

 

[phucheneh]

Jesus christ, I thought she was just kind of a regular (i.e. naturally) skinny chick.

That's fucking Auschwitz-skinny.

...almost. You can actually still see some flab in that last pic, which means she barely has enough muscle to keep herself upright. That is anorexia/bulimia or something...she could eat some sammiches, work out a bit, and look so much healthier without really adding any actual fat.

Shes a princess.

I bet all of you clowns hating on her actually listen to her in the car when nobody is around.

I only remember one of her songs, barely... something about how her boyfriend is an idiot and she was right all along. Only reason I remember that much of it is because I hated it. Stupid twat. Leave the "girl power" songs to Spice Girls! :awe:

 

[Grooveriding]

Probably more that guys want to bang her and girls want to look like her. As far as talent she can sing, but no better than a lot of people can who are not even famous.

The big talents; write, sing, stage presence are few and far between.

talent has never equaled success.

 

[Grooveriding]

Of course not. But some talents are so huge that they do, regardless of if the person is attractive and appeals to whatever demographics the producers and PR team is targeting.

Most music groups/individuals are manufactured to maximize profit by a team of experts. There are still some who are just so good that they naturally find their way through to success. Albeit I would argue that is less and less common as time goes by.

Well after reading through these, taking a good pair of headphones and playing both with eyes closed I conclude...

If I want music I get 25 yr old Stevie Wonder

If I want a song that will push product in 2015 I get 25 yr old Taylor Swift

She's blonde, young, thin, white, tall, attractive, American, and has blue eyes -- not sure about the last one, probably true.

She also seems to bond well with her fans, isn't a big bitch always doing drugs and partying with photos of her drunk off her ass lying in the street, comes off incredibly nice, actually. No confirmed nudes yet either.

Her music is catchy, she mostly writes her own songs and plays at least two instruments, isn't a one hit wonder with five albums now and the latest broke sales records at a time of declining music sales. She should be worth over $200 million now at 25.

No, she isn't the best singer. Her music doesn't have as much depth as the other stuff you referred to, I think, but it's still very personal that, for some reason, kids and adults can relate to in one way or another.

This to a large part.

I actually told my wife a few years back I was surprised she wasn't bigger than she was, I guess I hadn't been paying attention and she is.

I kinda had a feeling long ago she was going to make it big I guess, if she didn't screw up along the way.

She isn't.

She does have pretty eyes. Before this thread I had never seen her eyes, since both our televisions have remote controls.

As for the rest of her, I'll just wish Slew Foot well. I wouldn't even want to see that for less than $100k and a company car.

Nice. I had the trumpets/horns from this song stuck in my head for 2 months... didn't even know who sang it - lol. Now that I'm paying attention, the message is good: **** all the idiots, keep having fun. Awww yeah, Taylor Swift FTW

I want to remix/extend this track now

 

[zinfamous]

sure it has.

I think you mean: talent does not always lead to success, and success does not always require talent.

 

[MongGrel]

:sneaky:

Forgot you still existed, oh well.



Might be an old pic, I think she actually had one of the Supermodels on this years Victoria Secret thing get booted this year for the previous years remarks.

Anyways, not even bothering pursuing that one, as it seems she addressed that issue.

 

[whateverwhatsoe]

madonna always had that incredible voice

Surely you are kidding, right?

Everyone knows she took voice lesson or has been taking, and it has made a huge difference in her vocal talents.

Who is this everyone, exactly?

And I give Gaga credit for realizing she needed help (voice lessons and training), and that too much gimmick was never going to carry her long term.

Stefani Germanotta, performing at some NYU talent show at 17: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM51qOpwcIM

Or this one, unassisted live acoustic on Howard Stern 4 years ago. When did you say she started taking voice lessons again?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD4ICwgZiBs

What she did at the Oscars, the open vowels, the head voice, and that killer spin on her vibrato, were not the results of some random voice lessons of basics but years of classical training since a young age.

This post was so bizarre it propelled me to stop lurking and finally register.

Proof that the song is awesome even without Taylor Swift in it :awe:

 

[werepossum]

Well . . . Okay, so she has pretty contact lenses. lol

Just goes to show how fucked is the music industry. Taylor Swift is making tens of millions as a teenager singing bubblegum pop, and Buddy Guy spends many years of his 50+ year career driving a freakin' tow truck to make ends meet.

Her voice sounds pretty weak in the bits without that chorus effect going on. Fairly catchy in the bits with it.

I'm stealing this.

 

[unixwizzard]

never could understand the appeal.. even her Country stuff was too sugary bubble-gum for me.. but apparently that's what people like.. whatever...

since where she grew up is local to me, I'm pretty much burned out with her.. she so much farts or lets out a queef it becomes headline news.. I don't think a day goes by that there isn't a story about her in the local newspaper, and every week or every other week there is a multi-page story about her.. still.. I harbor no hatred or ill will toward her as some do.. I'm glad for her, glad that she managed to get out of this shit-hole county..

anyway.. at least finally they stopped covering the Gosselins.. now there is a couple of people I fucking despise.. I knew Jon IRL before he got "famous", he was a fucking pussy then, showed what a puss he was on the show, and will always be a fucking pussy.. and Kate, she is the epitome of the word wise and beautiful woman.

 

[frowertr]

While I'm not a big fans of her (find her annoying as hell) I would have rather seen this topic about the Kardashians. They are a true waste of flesh on the earth if there ever was...
