I’m just tired of the “tough girl” act. Period.

TS write a song about Miranda? that is going to be heard for TS considering that the song isn’t going to be about a guy TS dated, dating, or TS herself. Now I haven’t heard fast girl in town but F seriously?

Miranda’s beginning to sound like a female version of the New Country Radio stereotype — boozy, armed and defiant. Is she striving the be the XX-chromosomes’ answer to Justin Moore?

Please, no!

Dave brings up a good point. It’s not that I dislike Miranda’s aggressive side (“Fastest Girl In Town” is actually one of my favorites on the album, but I digress). That being said, I don’t know why she constantly portrays herself that way when “The House That Built Me,” her biggest hit so far, showed her at her most vulnerable. She obviously doesn’t need to keep clinging to the bad-girl image in order to be successful.

Can we please try not to turn this into a Miranda-vs-Taylor discussion? Or a Miranda-vs-some other female country singer.

Simple Dave, Miranda’s got the big head right now and thinks she can do no wrong (looks like she can’t in the eyes of her adorers), however, I guess she deserves it after she was put aside during the reign that was TS! That reign (and it’s probably going to start up again) almost turned me completely against radio and music…period. Everything changed to me, IMO, when she came along. Not a huge fan of Mirandas, but do like some of her songs way better than TS.

I have only liked one song by Miranda Lambert. “The House that Built Me” That song did wonders for her, why she didn’t go back to those songwriters for more material is beyond me. You would think that she would at least find room for another song written by them on her new Album.

When Fastest Girl In Town hits number one and Four The Record wins CMA Album of the Year you’ll eat your words, right?

Wrong.

Sweetcheeks said it well.

Another point I might add to the discussion is that writing one’s own songs does not in any way place any artist above criticism. I’d rather hear an artist sing great quality material from outside sources than hear an artist sing poor self-written material.

Why would anyone eat their words if this song hits Number one and the album wins a CMA award? Its not as if the reviewer said “This song will never become a hit, and the album will never win any awards.”

If Susan Foran thinks that Miranda hitting #1 on the charts vindicates the quality of this song, then what will she say when Miranda is no longer a hit maker and her songs barely scratch the top 40? (Inevitably this fate awaits all country stars, sooner or – hopefully – later). If Susan likes such a hypothetical Miranda song, would she accept that the song sucks on the theory that it failed to become a hit? I doubt it. And if not, she can’t discredit Kevin’s complaints about the song on the theory that it will be a hit without being a hypocrite.
