The 2009 CMAs

Last night, Taylor Swift was the undeserving recepient of four awards at the Country Music Awards award show. Although I am a huge fan of Taylor and her recent album, Fearless, last night her two performances just could not compare to those of Lady Antebellum, Brad Paisley, and Carrie Underwood. "Forever and Always" was unbelieveble and "Fifteen" was so off key. The nineteen year old superstar sensation has incredible song writing skills and a charming "bubbly" personality, but her voice is simply not good. People really need to realize that being gorgeous and witty and a talented at writing songs does not make you fabulous. Its really just disturbing to think that so many people could be in denial about her vocal ability. I am not saying that I know everything there is to know about vocal ability, but i do know that she is not at the same level as Carrie Underwood or Martina McBride or lots of other previous country stars. Just listen to her album and then listen to her live. She sounds completely different!!! She is way off pitch! Like i said, Taylor writes some of the best songs i have heard, but the vocals aren't there. Really. Do you really think Taylor Swift is Entertainer of the Year material? I dont, but thats just my opinion. Overall the award show was fabulous. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood served as superb hosts, and the performences were a step up from last years. I also was very happy to see Lady Antebellum rewarded for their excellent work. Too bad the main point of the show, the awards, were screwed up!
