Finally someone speaks the truth… Black Crowes singer, Chris Robinson: “Taylor Swift is HORRIBLE”
Finally someone has the balls to speak the truth… In a recent quote, Black Crowes singer and uber-hippy tells it like it is about the massively overrated Taylor Swift.
“I find it embarrassing that adults are like, ‘Taylor Swift is very talented.’ She’s not. She might be cute, but she’s horrible. They have stylists who dress them, they make records with producers who play a chord into the computer and it all comes out the same…
“When you have computers doing it all for you… there’s no individuality. Singing isn’t always about being on key; it’s about emotionality.”
Good on you Chris… We all appreciate your candor.
… and it’s not just because we are brothers from a different mother either!!
Hot.
“BUT didn’t you see her on SNL? She’s funny and can play 3 chords” I need a vomit bag
Well said, Chris. I’ve been saying that for quite some time now, but nobody was listening. This girl can’t sing. And when I say she can’t sing, I mean that she sounds way too generic and equally boring–and that is a fact. She totally lacks that individuality needed to sell records on real talent alone. She sells because other female teens relate to her lyrics. But make no mistake; there is no emotion to her songs. Writing her own songs doesn’t make her talented, folks. Her writing isn’t very good, by the way.
At least Britney Spears had a better execution in her songs. They were not only catchy but sexy. They totally conveyed emotion, despite her singing abilities (or lack thereof). I totally grooved to her music, though I never did so in public.
Carry Underwood is much more sophisticated than Taylor Swift in every sense of the word. I also love Kellie Pickler and Lila McCann. Have you ever listened to Lila’s “Go Easy on Me” song? Beautiful!
Carry Underwood’s music, for instance, is not only beautiful, but it is also vastly seducing–very well structured lyrically, vocally and musically. She invokes emotion in every song that she interprets. Now, that’s what I call talent!
Any joker can write their own material. Quality, however, can only be achieved by a few. Taylor Swift conveys the opposite of quality–inferiority. She isn’t very good quite frankly. Why is she famous then, you ask? Deep down you know answer.
At any rate, when Kanye West disrespected her at the VMA’s, I knew that this would help her sell more records, and top the charts longer, out of sympathy. Everyone just seemed to show their support with their wallets and positive feedback, after that unfortunate incident took place.
I only wish that someone more respected in the music industry would have come out and said what Chris Robinson so eloquently stated in that magazine interview. This guy is viewed as a stoner, so there may be little stock in what he says to many people, though he clearly speaks words of wisdom and truth. But celebrities are afraid of criticizing a cute girl for fear of being called insensitive or career reprisal.
Saying that Carrie’s music is more sophisticated than Taylor’s is like saying my five year old can beat up your three year old.
