Music history? God of music industry?

Someone needs a psychiatrist to help deal with fanboyism.

Have you ever heard about the Japanese music industry? You know... That one where people still buy CDs, where Utada Hikaru had 3 albums in a row selling over two million copies in their first week each? Where music is three times as expensive as in the U.S, yet they are breaking records anyway?

It seems like you don't, to prove my point I gave you a name. Make research before you let your fanboyism/fangirlism take over.


Utada Hikaru is disqualified because she has zero relevance outside of Japan, so that argument doesn't work. Taylor is known world wide and people faint when they see her because she's the biggest rockstar ever.


I'm not going to start being a fan that defends celebrities who doesn't even know I exist. But be clear then, music history involves all the music industries out there. It's not about the U.S only. You just proved yourself to be a mindless fan like most horny teen girls.

 

To the upcoming posters, *keep it in mind that we are all wrong and this person is the end of it all because he/she says so*

Taylor Swift acknowleges all her fans. She sits on tumblr every single night and twitter and interacts with her fans. She's the most down to earth person ever in existance.



 

Reputation proceeds me, they told you I'm crazy, I swear I don't love the drama it loves me <3

BUY TAYLOR'S NEW ALBUM REPUTATION!!

Yet, they can't sell the albums and singles Taylor can... OH, and sell out madison square garden in 12 seconds.. They've never ever done that.

I do.. She loves her fans. Being so serious, she invited a big group of her fans to her house like 3 weeks ago to have dinner. Then apparently they hung out and watched movies. She does things like this with fans all the time.. Probably weekly.

The words "Taylor Swift" and "real music" should never be used in the same sentence together.

Ever.

She's just the latest in a long line of pop princesses thrust upon the ignorant masses by a music industry that more and more tries to appeal to the lowest common denominator to maximize sales and improve their bottom line.


Then who should would you use in the sentence?? Because if you can't use Taylor, then I can argue that you can't use The Beatles, Michael Jackson, or Aretha Franklin.

While the three artists you mentioned all had people in the industry who either wrote or produced some of their hits/records, they all had a sound, style and substance unique to their own, and all either broke new ground or were highly infulential in the industry.

Taylor on the other hand is the exact opposite of that.. her music is indistinguishable from all the othe pop / rock candy crap out there today.  You could swap her songs with almost any other female pop star and wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Taylor Swift completely broke ground. She's responsible for country music crossing over to  pop radio. If it wasn't for Taylor country songs wouldn't get pop airplay, she is single handedly saving the dying music industry.

Man that's some strong Kool-Aid you're drinking!  Apparently you've never heard of Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, George Strait, Kenny Rogers, Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton, The Dixie Chicks (before they imploded), John Denver, Johnny Cash... and some dude named Elvis..

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

They've never had a song cross over to pop radio, besides Shania. She had 2 or 3 hits, but Taylor is the first country artist to have multiple #1s on pop radio, and on the hot 100 alone.

If it wasn't for Taylor country songs wouldn't get pop airplay, she is single handedly saving the dying music industry. Without Taylor and a handful of others music wouldn't exist anymore. The Beatles, MJ, and Aretha are talented, but Taylor just has a special quality... I think they lack that. She clearly is the answer to music. Don't get me wrong! The Beatles are super talented, so is Aretha and MJ, but compared to Taylor... They just don't cut it.


Ah, so Taylor Swift is responsible for the downfall of country music. I was wondering who was to blame :P

I might be a tree, lion or living another life come 2050 but I'd bet my life savings that people won't be listening to Taylor Swift albums but they will still be listening to Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Beethoven. It's called bubblegum for a reason.

Thanks for the new pic. She looks good in that one.


She's not bubblegum, and FYI Elvis, The Beatles, and among others were all considered bubblegum back in their glory days..

 

Thanks, I love it. lol

 

Elvis was largely considered to be "the devil's music"...Taylor Swift is as PG/PC as you can get 

EDIT: I would also like to add, that most of what TS puts out these days isn't country...its just pop
