Kevin,

I’m not going to get into a “yes I do” and “no you don’t” thing with you. It’s ridiculous.

I watched your link. Taylor is a sweetheart. She’s a role model for young girls. She has talent and has worked since she was a little girl to become what she is. Good for her.

I simply gave an honest critique of her voice. She has a very hard time singing in key and has a weak voice. I’m not the only one who’s noticed! That’s not tearing her down, it’s a simple fact.

Anytime any of us step onto the stage, we are asking to be critiqued whether we realize it or not. Especially if we are being paid for it. If we are playing for free, it’s a slightly different story, but people will still critique us.

An artist is a package. The key element of Taylor’s package is her looks. The key element of Janis Joplin’s package was her voice. Which one would be a better role model? Obviously that would be Taylor. Who would I rather hear sing? Obviously that would be Janis.

Jeez. Lighten up.

Bob
