Fixed it for you.

Mariah still can't make it through a full show. You sound so bitter, bb.

I'm not the Mariah poster, but I do think Taylor is tired.

This. She's not exceptionally talented or even offering a unique sound.

You and the pp who call Taylor Swift "untalented" sound very jealous. Let's see how many songs you have written and preformed for thousands of people. You don't have to like her to acknowledge that she is talented and very sucessful.

NP You seem bizarrely invested in her life , not everyone has to like her . Her music is gimmicky and lacks depth , its pop after all . To pretend that she's doing groundbreaking music is foolish at best and reeks of desperation at worst . Newsflash : Mariah Carey holds the record as the best selling female artist of all time, I bet you didn't know that , did ya ?
The race-based Taylor swift worship amongst some of you is so transparently obvious it's laughable . But behold your idol is like what now ? 27? By all means let her keep singing those immature songs by the time she's 30 and let's see how much of a 'global' star she remains

Hmmm I am the pp you quoted. In what way does my answer suggest that I am bizarrely invested in her life? The question was asked and I gave my opinion. I am not a groupie and I have never gone to one of her shows. I am merely stating the obvious. She is successful whether or not you like her. She writes her music and performs it in front of world wide audiences. Her music sells and is played on the radio.

If you want to talk about Mariah Carey than start a new thread.

At this point I think you may be mentally unstable . I brought up Mariah Carey as an example to say Taylor swift isn't a groundbreaking artist in any way . There is literally nothing that she's currently doing that hasn't been done on a grander scale by someone else . Hence the Mariah Carey example , got it ?

I think you should look in the mirror and except the fact that YOU are mentally unstable. This is a discussion board. My opinion is just as valuable as yours. No where in my post did I call you names for your opinion. Unlike YOU. You don't like her. Fine. That does not mean she isn't talented or successful. The definition of success is people buying your music and you selling out concerts.

Again, in a discussion people are allowed to express their opinions. Again, I listen to her music but, I am not a fanatic fan. But, I do think she has talent and is successful. Mariah Carey is also successful and talented as well. Got it?

Talent + Looks + Charisma + Great Management + Connections + Solid Family that was already wealthy and used to being wealthy. People like Taylor Swift, Adam Levine, Julia Dreyfus who came from wealthy families have managed to keep their heads around the wealth. They did not self jeopardize like Bieber or Lindsey Lohan etc.

Also, Taylor Swift is a marketing genius. Mariah Carey can't even perform on stage without a puppet master pulling her strings anymore.

I'm not the person you're replying to but reading your responses and you sound like the one who is unstable. Why are you so angry? You sound really REALLY bothered by not only this person but by Taylor Swift herself. It's troublesome.

She's a packaged and predictable product in a safe white-girl body. She is the simulacra of real talent.

I do also think the fact she is skinny and blond helps

She is skinny and blonde but not that pretty. Her success is in her talent, intelligence and belief in herself.

Did I say "pretty"? No. I did not.

She is an exceptionally talented lyricist.

Part of her success is her every girl lyrics that mature as her audience and fans mature. She is able to capture exactly how many if not most girls feel at the stage of life that she is in. Combine that with her limited range that is equal to just about everyone, and you have songs that are exceptionally relatable and appeal to fans of about her age or younger. She has staying power.

Her talent is primarily in her songwriting skills, combined with her intelligence. She is much smarter than many of her peers (Katy Perry, Miley, etc) and will have more staying powerthan them. She is going to be one of the biggest long term female stars, along the lines of Dolly Parton or U2.

She is not "exceptionally" talented. We will not collectively be talking about her five years from now. She will not go down as an innovator or some rare jewel in the history of music. She has done nothing earth shattering or groundbreaking or innovative or even especially creative. I don't have to write music or perform in front of audiences to see that.

Diff poster here, but I think you'll be proven wrong here. She's not going anywhere anytime soon. About to go on another tour and release what will be a #1 album. She's broken all kinds of records and been writing HUGE hit songs since she was an early teen. SHE writes the songs, not someone else. What she's done is pretty remarkable.
