When Taylor Swift can evolve and innovate like The Beatles and influence music forever...oh God, why do I even create these hypotheticals? They'll never happen. Hell, even Madonna was nowhere near The Beatles, and she was freakin' huge. Same with Aretha Franklin, Barbara Streisand, or any other really famous female singer I could name. The Beatles could write legendary songs based off of various events in their lives; hell, most of their hit songs practically have their own little stories behind them. Even Ringo could write some really kickass songs when he felt like it.

All you need to do is listen to A Day In The Life to realize the Beatles' greatness... It actually started out as two songs. One by Lennon, the other by McCartney. It was two stories and both thought their song was incomplete so they combined them... and it became something different. Just beautiful.

And anyone who doesn't take the time to recognize the absolute mind-blowing brilliance of Strawberry Fields Forever needs to be sterilized. Without exception. Seriously, that's about the best way I've determined to figure out whether someone has a brain or not.

You need to listen to White Horse and feel the emotion of the lyrics. Also while you are at it listen to Change and Fearless and feel the intensity.

This thread is going off topic... It's about the Grammys and the quality of music and the Academy has its eyes on Taylor Swift for her recording REAL music.

Believe it or not but I've listened to the album.

You know what I think? Amy Winehouse has more talent pouring out of one heroin-addled pore than Taylor Swift will ever have in her liftetime.

Was that modern enough for you?

OMG AMY WINEHOUSE!!! She is so talented. Probably the most talent britian has ever produced. She is a true artist too.

Why because she is talented and can sing?

Nah, Amy Winehouse is one screwed up bitch. She's also got a knack for writing songs and emulating a 50s black American singer.

I have to admit I'm a fan. She's a fascinating character and it's hard to deny she's got some talent.

I think she is an amazingly talented singer, but I don't give her the name "artist" after what she has done.. and nearly given up music for drugs..

So much talent wasted, I don't consider britney spears an artist or anyone who lip syncs ever an artist, or someone who doesn't write there own music. Musicians sure, singers sure, but ARTIST? Artist is  the full package, not just the voice.

I hope Ringo takes the mic from her and says "I know Taylor made some great songs and all but I'm a FUCKING BEATLE. Lick my feet, bitch."

It's destiny that Ringo presented nominations with Taylor Swift in it. She's so talented. What a great night :)

So it's destiny that the most technically proficient yet least talented Beatle give an award to a technically inproficient pop singer?

Taylor Swift isn't terrible but you really need to expand your horizons, man. Listen to some Pink Floyd, Beatles, Velvet Underground, Bowie, early U2, Who, REM, Radiohead, Simon & Garfunkel, or Dylan or something. And please, give Pet Sounds a go. If that doesn't change how you think about music, I don't know what will.

Then, after you've done that, come back and tell us how great Taylor Swift is.

I have listened to them. Taylor is amazing and she is like the Beatles of 2009 IMO.

 

I'm glad shes getting the attention she deserves cause she is soooooooooo talented. I love her.

No, you obviously haven't.

It's incredibly obvious you haven't.

Yeah, he hasn't.

 

I've heard Taylor Swift live, and her voice isn't that good. She's yet another singer that would fail if it weren't for computers.

 

Lady Gaga, on the other hand, has an excellent voice.

 

(BTW, I'm not a fan of either)



Currently playing: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, NBA2k11, Metal Gear Solid, Picross 3d
