I beg to differ sir.
She can write songs but it is an all known fact that she has a very limited vocal ability. Her album “Speak Now” highlighted what she could be given she should do what she wants. It is not easy to write an album all by yourself, be also a co-producer and to be a critical and commercial darling after its release. You can say that part of her success was due to savvy marketing campaign but it cannot be denied that her talent (whether it be songwriting or her ‘singing’) brought her there.

This is not the case with “Red”.

PS: And rabid fans really really bother me.

Mandy, how does winning a Grammy prove talent? You could name dozens of artists over the decade that have won Grammys but not remembered very well when their time is up. I do believe she has some talent but I believe its more of a marketing talent than musical.

What makes her melodies “pop” melodies? And don’t the songs on this album have banjos and other country instruments? What makes it pop?

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.
