The being nice or begging for hits explanations don't apply neither to the Janis Ian quote nor the Bon Jovi one. Those quotes are not unreliable.<br /><br />Yes, whether music is great or not depends on what you define. You have your own definition of great and that's why you don't think Taylor's music is great, because it does not follow this definition. I have my own definition of great, and that's why I think she's great because she follows that definition. And that's why the greatness of music is subjective. Purely subjective. Yes, there are schools that teach music, they can teach you how to do it, but they can't teach you how to do it <b>well</b>. That depends on your talent and the effort you put in it. I believe that people are not equally talented and willing to exert the same effort in producing music, but at the same time I don't think musical talent is something that can be accurately measured and quantified. And what sounds good to me can sound bad to others, even if we both have high standards. Because there's something called taste. <br /><br />"To be <br />absolutely clear, that is <b>my</b> definition of " musically great"...how <br />attractive and/or challenging it is to highly skilled musicians."<br /><br />That's it. You are contradicting yourself. You say her not being musically great is a fact, and what is defined as great is based on one's definition of great and then say that what you said is based on your definition. Facts are not based on people's personal definition of a certain notion. You don't just say it's a fact but based on your definition. That's illogical. Those are called opinions. The sun rises from the east and sets in the west is what I call a fact. Mariah Carey has released 13 studio albums is what I call a fact. Stuff that can't be disputed.Ahmed Tareknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-21081565703046599182013-11-08T14:14:34.359+00:002013-11-08T14:14:34.359+00:0010 out of her 15 minutes of fame are already done....10 out of her 15 minutes of fame are already done. Once she's done catering to the emo teens/tweens her only resort will be to turn the miley/britney/countless pop-stars way and produce more sexual records. I dread what that is even going to be like. Anyway, I am certain she has few more years on her, she will continue annoy everyone in the meanwhile and quietly fade into oblivion since she is a faux singer and a media mupppet. I see no talent in her to justify her meteoric rise to fame.alaneasablenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-50823493480007048692013-10-27T09:23:41.009+00:002013-10-27T09:23:41.009+00:00The guest does have a point.

She is also as popular as she is due to the audience that she caters too. I will give her another 5 years before she has to grow up a little and change her style. Not just her music, but her whole attitude. I do not know how many of her fans have grown up with her, or if she just keeps on getting new fans. I say this because I have known lots of young women, who are around her age. My little sister being one of them, and where they used to love her, they really cannot stand her anymore because they feel like she has not grown up, and the she is still catering to that 14 year old little girl.callie225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-36749420027542316342013-10-18T17:52:53.150+01:002013-10-18T17:52:53.150+01:00Has better interpretative ability than the divas.Has better interpretative ability than the divas.Forever21noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-53034084571363382302013-09-22T12:26:56.251+01:002013-09-22T12:26:56.251+01:00taylor is GREAT as a songwriters not as a singertaylor is GREAT as a songwriters not as a singerGuestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-27029721142258659212013-09-16T21:39:31.530+01:002013-09-16T21:39:31.530+01:00Hilarious.

You can sing higher than Beyonce, are you better than her too? Adele, who is thought to be one of the best singers of our time, has a range of C3-Eb5, are you also better than her?

You probably can't write songs comparable to Swift and, okay you can hit a high note, but can you stay on pitch? How's your tone? Would people actually want to listen to you hitting that octave higher? Go take some vocal lessons instead of sitting here.. maybe then one day we can see your work!

Technically speaking Taylor's voice isn't all that impressive or even incredibly versatile, but she uses her voice in a way that flawlessly compliments her music. It's really interesting to see how successful she is while knowing that all she really has going for her is her unique sense of artistry, ability to SKILLFULLY sing a little more than an octave and her personality. Taylor defies the odds.Zack Darbyshirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-34059568112489267002013-07-29T07:03:30.839+01:002013-07-29T07:03:30.839+01:00Yep...

The thinner the vocal folds, the lighter the volume productions, though there are some exceptions....but generally the exceptions are the voices that have learned projection. Beyonce is at the top of my list... She can project her belts to above medium size for limmited amounts of time.. <br /><br /><br />My issue with Beyonce is that she wants a thick, heavy voice so bad, she adds artificial weight and throws it around...

Like Serendipity said, a Soubrette will never be able to sing as loud as some other vocal types such as a dramatic mezzo or dramatic soprano simply because their voice doesn't really have the capabilities to sing with as much force as the other voice types because soubrettes don't have the amount of weight in their voice to produce that kind of power.Impuriteenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-19851470248437096672013-07-28T20:01:07.362+01:002013-07-28T20:01:07.362+01:00Nope, it is not.

Catchy tunes, same concept for her lyrics etc.<br /><br />As for the peer recognition, it will not actually result in negative publicity for her. In fact, at the same time when those other artists praised her, she actually already has a large fanbase (most of it being teens, of course). So her large fanbase will support her and instead [maybe?] affect the career of the one bashing her. Then she will probably come up with a song to bash back the person who based her and all her stans will cheer for her and the list continues. Remember the song she created for Kanye West? Joe Jonas? John Mayer? How she bashed critics on "Mean"? Need I say more? So, they DO have a reason to lie.Ricky Yong Chin Yuannoreply@blogger.com
