RE: It's me, Hi! I'm the problem it's me.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I remember some years back (when she came out I guess) I heard her singing some Christmas songs I think. I remember saying to @afturner "What the hell is going on with singers these days. This singer is in tune, I guess but she has zero nuance or flavor"
I had never heard someone sing so generically and straight. Basically I ignored her until recently. But then, I noticed it.. Hmm.. She actually is a good song writer. haha! I am still not a huge fan of her singing specifically, but the girl can sure write a good song. My favorite songwriter is still Sia, but I have to give credit to Taylor where it is due.

I like Sia too. She is pretty awesome and she definitely has a stronger voice. Her Christmas album is actually one of my favorites and I don't like that much Christmas music generally. Taylor is quite monotone and she relies on a lot of the same techniques in most of her songs, but the way she can tell a story with her words is beyond belief.
Maybe I should give her a chance and listen to her album. She's not the most popular singer in the world for no reason, I'm sure.
As I mentioned to @slobberchops if you are first diving in, I would start at the album Red and go from there. That being said, it also helps to imagine yourself in her shoes. For example, the song Tim McGraw she wrote her freshman year of high school. Imagine yourself as a freshman writing something that simple yet poignant.
