Taylor Swift may be the idol for a quantity of immature and underaged White kids, but she has no business winning awards for her completely incompetent performances.
The Jonas Bros did a better Grammy performance than that girl. Tiny Tim, Weird Al Yankovich and William Shatner deserve more Grammys than Taylor Swift.
After two years with a vocal coach, the girl has no breath control, no pitch, appears to be faking with that stupid guitar, and has a terrible vocal quality.
The Grammy Corporation must have decided that it was an individual in order to cast one HUGE vote in order to keep her miserable career as a fake musician going and the money flowing.
That girl sings like a buzzard on crack.
The girl sounds like she should be singing in a ship's lounge: a tramp steamer on the way to Kowloon with a shipment of recalled Toyotas.
It is a great disrespect to the truly gifted and hard working musicians, (Carrie Underwood) who know how to make some doggone music.
Thanks for letting me rant. Here's a challenge: Complete the sentence:
Taylor's Grammy performance was...
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift Singing

Completely failed - Stevie sang her off the stage. Embarrassing. On her worst cracked-out day, Stevie could out-sing Taylor.
It was nearly as bad as the time (last year, I think) that they put Joss Stone onstage with a fresh-out-of-chemo Melissa Etheridge - who proceeded to sing Joss into the ground, like she was singing for her life. And I LIKE Joss Stone.
Maybe there was a reason Kanye snapped.

I have yet to understand why they have her sing on these award shows. She always comes across terribly. BUT - I'll still take her over 85% of the others - flat, off key, wrong lyrics, I don't care - she made my kid want to write. Good enough for me.
so - RATED - because this post is the reason for the teardrops on my guitar.
I do know this though; if Xenon says it was bad, it was bad.
"Tiny Tim, Weird Al Yankovich and William Shatner deserve more Grammys than Taylor Swift...That girl sings like a buzzard on crack."
Don't hold back, go on and say how you feel! :P
FREE KANYE!!!!!!
Swift's voice is thin (she offered, charitably) but TS is one smart cookie who knows her audience.
Knows who she's writing songs for. Also, TS's remarkably mature. Didn't thump KW with the mic. And later, she didn't thump him in interviews. Well, too much. ;)
her tunes are catchy, theres no two ways about it. but in the past, she'd have been a songwriter, not a singer. nowadays, if you are tall and blond, they just put your voice through whatever machines they can in the studio, and wing the rest.
i do appreciate the fact that she is, for the most part generally dressed, rather than naked.
but hot DAMN that girl cant sing!
In retrospect, I think the music industry is trying to challenge the main stream rap and hip and hop culture a little bit, I mean if a song got bounce and rhythme and people are dancing to it, especially if it's got good lyrics, people aren't going to be letting club music. Beyonce's Halo is a beautiful song, and her Single Put a Ring On It, in what it says is a perfect message, plus fun and spontaneous, but if you want to dance with me, you better get the ring, not a bad ring to that.

Pretty much any music that is featured on the Grammy's is probably music I don't listen to.
Lawd - why do ya'll make me do this. How many times to I have to come out and remind y'all that Kanye didn't make her famous. She'd already won the damn award and about thirty others. She had already broken three billboard records. She had three cd's on itunes top 25 at one time ... sold more downloads than anyone in the history of downloading, sold out hundreds and hundreds of concerts - most in 15 minutes or less.
Love her or hate her, Kanye didn't make her famous. Her niche is little girls who's parents are happy to drop hundreds and hundreds of dollars on concerts and treasure boxes and downloads, dvd's and cd's because she's a little bit wholesome. We honestly don't give a shit if she can sing or not.
And who the hell do you know that's 19 years old that could get up on the Grammy stage and hang with STEVIE NICKS? Pffft.
Look at this outfit ~ it's too frickin tight and I'm working with less O2 than usual. Please forgive my cranky demeanor!
However, Kanye is still a complete turdish idiot. Both things appear to be true.
and you do what ? that made you rich

I don't know how she sings because I've never listened to her and don't plan on it anytime soon, but I'll take your word here. Sounds painful X..
Irritatedmom: Let's have a chat about that outfit....
Foolishmonkey! Thank you. Someone knows about the diaphragm. they spend hours doing crunches, you'd think the things would work better.
Odette: One thing rings true, and that is real ability. Evelyn Champagne King could still rock the house, and she was younger than Swift when she started.
Stacey: Thanks!
We're the only ones who answered the question. And if anyone comes after us....too late! You had your chance!
sorry to my friends who think otherwise -- like the fabulous woman who cuts my hair, who *insisted* that she didn't do badly with nicks onstage at the grammys -- go listen to the you tube video. you *and* your dog will be howling. it's godawful.
However, I do dig that she's not showing her cootchy.....yet. (pretty cynical, I am.........)
And who the hell do you know that's 19 years old that could get up on the Grammy stage and hang with STEVIE NICKS?
Jennifer Hudson, when she was starting to find recognition.
Buzzard on crack is an apt description of Taylor Swift's singing....and a great rock band name....and a floor wax....
Foolish Monkey - Yes, she does need to learn what her diaphragm is and learn to really BREATHE. Maybe she'd be a tiny bit better then.
The next thing you know, she'll be having wardrobe malfunctions at some ball game.
