And Swift is not talented. Her singing live, without all the auto-tuners, is atrocious.<br />My personal hopes for country music lie in artists like Jamey Johnson, who really is "Between Jennings and Jones".<br />And to the last comment, where you said that "Country Music is Dying"- Its Dying because of artist like Taylor Swift, Kellie Pickler, Jewel, Jessica Simpson, etc, etc. Not due to any particular demerit of itself. Up North, we may only have one or two country stations playing majority modern country, but once you hit the Mason-Dixon, there are 10, 20 stations, with 90-95% playing more classic country than modern. I see now why country music was so against the George Strait song "Murder on Music Row"- because he sang the uncomfortable truth. And I have found the one who should be charged with that crime. She stands before you in the place of highest honor, which she does not deserve. I'll agree with The Possum- "what they need to do really, I think, is find their own title, because they're definitely not traditional country music." Why couldn't the presenter for Entertainer of the Year award taken his lead from Charlie Rich, and burned that envelope? If you don't know what I'm talking about: He burned the award for John Denver in 1975, on the grounds that he wasn't country enough. When did country music become so bland?CQ Cowboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331789104104200736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560301.post-15024297919318274292009-11-06T21:43:36.750-05:002009-11-06T21:43:36.750-05:00Thanks for the comments Kevin...

Of course this does not mean that fans are dissipating-to the contrary. But cash is king. Frankly, every since the Patriotic period took over country during the Bush years, it very much stunted the growth of country music to the masses. Unfortunately, the Dixie Chicks were exciting and were doing great for the genre but after their "force out" country suffered as they had essentially destroyed their most popular ambassadors. Now, country is trying to cash in on the tiny-bopper phenomenon as it is a hot market, Miley Cyrus, Jonas bros, etc. and trying to get their foothold back on the radio waves. What perfect way of doing this than to exalt a new comer doesn't fit the genre and violates most of country music's rules in terms of lyrics and music beats and instrumentation. Just because it has a fiddle doesn't make it country. If that were the case, Remember the Dixie Midnight Runners song - Come on Ilene? Heck, they even had the word Dixie in their bands nameAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560301.post-60014355186259353172009-04-01T11:49:00.000-04:002009-04-01T11:49:00.000-04:00I know people who live in Henndersonville and they...I know people who live in Henndersonville and they told me that Taylor Swift's dad goes to different stores and buys all of her cds.

Tammy.. anyone actually country and talented any day, as I personally think a real country fan would.<BR/><BR/>I don't think this is a matter of the genre changing, it's sculpting country music to pop, making more people like it.. simply because it's pop music, not country.
