Taylor Swift.. Artist of the Year...

I like her. I was so happy that she won. She deserved the award more than anyone.

I have nothing against Taylor, I don't see anything not to like. But I fail to see what makes her so good. MAYBE I should give one of her albums a chance, but her singles don't do much for me so I'm not sure if I can motivate myself to try out the rest of her stuff. If any fans want to recomend me a great song by her go ahead.alphamale1989

Here are a few reasons.

She has a beautiful voice.

She writes all her own songs.

She handles all her tour stuff on her own. On her tours, she handles everything.

There is more I can't think of off the top of my head.

Meh, I think they gave sympathy to her because Kanye called her out. :lol:

Meh she's not bad, and yeah I mean I know MJ died but give me a break, he really didn't do much this year in terms of music

[QUOTE="Lockedge"]This is why I don't subscribe to the idea that mass population determines the who the best musicians are. She's popular, good for her.. her voice is ok, and she seems likable, but musically and artistically she doesn't have a foot to stand on against actual competition. But she writes catchy stuff that people can hum to on their way to school or whatever, so kudos to her for succeeding. "Artist" of the year in my books is still probably up in the air, but she's nowhere near the top 100.Lockedge

What's a better way to choose artist of the year aside from popularity? Popularity means alot of people have heard of and like your music, so in a sense it's good enough to tons of people to vote you over other artist and that sounds like a reasonable way to choose who gets the award.

I think we've all been owned...mattbbpl

good for her.. :D

That doesn't say much for the state of mainstream music. Ugh we have the radio on and work and I hate that current song of hers they play.:(LJS9502_basic

I thought you work at a liquor store? Don't you play something... well not that?

So i guess Kanye is owned? She beat out Michael Jackson also :shock:

As I said in the prior post, I don't know yet who I'd rather have the award. It would depend on whether we'd be considering 2008 releases or 2009 releases, and even then, it's a toss-up between a decent number. The last two years have been incredibly good for music, so it really makes it hard for me to declare someone as the best. I could if I spent a few hours, but I don't feel it necessary, as it's not like I'm giving an award out :P.

she's not much of a singer, but at the very least she writes her own music....AxeStrangler

shes nowhere close to micheal jackson.

I don't like her, I really don't think she is country and she kinda looks like a pig to me... CyleM

This is the equivalent of Obama getting the nobel peace prize :|

It wasn't staged. Kanye has done that same thing a while back. He is a racist.

Yes congrats to her. Anyone else think Taylor looks like Michael Keaton?

Taylor Swift. In the last name replace the w with h, remove letter f and you get my opinion of Taylor and her music.

Unexpected but whatever people like her music. It's ok.

Good for her. I actually like her music. She's not bad at all.

Music is ****ed. Seriously. :x

I hate her music. It makes my ears bleed. D: (Not literally)

is this the best they can do? Out of all the musicians, singers, songwriters across the world, Taylor Swift is the be all end all best......sounds like a coup to sell albums to me...
