My problem with her lyrics is how corny they are :\ I mean “I’m not a princess, this isn’t a fairy tale.” I mean come on…

I love love love her new album and so does everyone else.. seeing how it has been number 1 for almost 2 months now =)

She is a wonderful song writter. I can’t wait to see what she does next. She’s only 19 so I can oly imagine what she will be like 5 to 10 years from now

Older people might as well get use to her cause she isnt going anywhere anytime soon.. so pull the sticks out of your butts and loosin up.

after finally listening to this cd, i have four main thoughts on it:
1. i think her songwriting matured a lot, and although on some of the songs her potential kind of stayed beneath the surface, i though most of them were pretty well written, with “White Horse” being my favorite lyrically
2. her sincerity is very refreshing, more so on this album than the last and i like that her songs do well on the radio because they’re real and people can relate to them, rather than then because they were specifically made to please radio listeners
3. although i think her vocals were a bit better on this album, i think it was hard to notice because of all the overproduction that brought out the weaknesses rather than over looking them
4. i thought a lot of the songs ran together because of the similarities in the themes, for example: moving on even though it’s hard, and insincere sorries, etc. if a couple songs were taken out i think it would improve the overall cd.

[...] “White Horse” Reviews On “White Horse” (co-penned by Liz Rose) Swift opens her broken heart and fully comes into her own as a songwriter on a song that anyone would be proud to have written. – The 9513 “White Horse,” the spare, brooding number that premiered on Grey’s Anatomy, gives a glimpse into a world where the story takes a few dark twists and turns. – Country Universe [...]

I think “Tell Me Why” and “White Horse” are the most country songs on the CD, however, I think they’d be stupid not to release “Hey Stephen” as every single review I’ve read has commented on that song, in at least some way, little or big, in a flattering form.

I was already feeling guilty, but now I’m feeling incredibly guilty. ;) I’ve already bowed down to Blake.

So, I just listened to this album all the way through. And I gotta say, it wasn’t nearly as painful as I thougth it would be. Granted, it won’t be in any kind of heavy rotation for me – these songs just aren’t my cup of tea. But overall, I’d say it is a pretty solid album. And Swift obviously shows growth as a songwriter and vocalist on some tracks. While at times, she reverts back to the very things I loathed about her debut, but those very things are likely what propelled it to multi-platinum status.

‘Hey Stephen’ is very reminiscent of K.T. Oslin’s ‘Hey Bobby’ in both lyric structre and sound. I kinda like it.

‘White Horse’ seems like it could be a direct sequel to ‘Love Story’. Likewise, ‘Tell Me Why’ ‘You’re Not Sorry’, and ‘Forever and Always’ are typical Taylor Swift fare that will satisfy her demographic beautifully.

Songs like ‘You Belong With Me’, ‘The Way I Loved You’, and ‘Fifteen’ all tell the stories of high school life, romance, drama; the whole package. But, they do it well. I guess somebody has to tell the stories of these teens. ‘The Best Day’ is pretty much a re-write of George Strait’s ‘The Best Day of My Life’, and it doesn’t bring anything new to the table.

“Breathe’ is a stand-out track to me. The vocal is not overblown and she conveys real emotion in her voice. Also, it takes on a maturity to a break-up that is a new concept for Swift as she sings “Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt, Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve, But people are people, And sometimes it doesn’t work out”. Definitely my favorite track on the album.

So while I don’t think Swift has captured just the right groove yet, she shows enough growth on this release to justify thinking she could actually be around for a while, and make the oft-painful transistion from child star to adult star.

This is why we all hate Blake so much! Not only is the quantity there, so is the quality.

Great review, I think it will sell alot out of the gate but will slow from there. I don’t think it is an album of any substance. It seems to be all the same stories from the first told over and over just a different melody, and different words, but all saying the same thing if you get me. I would really like to see her write some more mature stuff in the future the talent is there. Vocally thought she still hasn’t arrived, I had the convo with my sister, and she sounds great on soft slow songs where she doesn’t have to reach ie Tim Mcgraw even Love Story which I hate, but when she tries to go big or hit the money note it just isn’t there and I’m not sure if it will ever.
