oh man i haven't posted to this thread yet. this album's fabulous almost all the way through. destroy: "enchanted" (chorus hits the mark, but the rest is a chore to listen to)... the rest's almost universally great.

Shot actually looks vaguely post plastic surgery ish.

Only in the opposite direction to normal (i.e. less rather than more pointed features).

i thought on the AMA clip that her nose looked like it had had a workout.

she really is the best. This nbc special has elicited about 100 smiles in 15 min

really hope someone puts it all up on some blog and/or youtube

best was her looking really tired in the studio but then deleriously dancing around and singing along to the finished "story of us"

She is 21 years old. No disrespect, but Hanson were better than she was. There is something phony about the way establishment liberals embrace someone whose lyrics are so teenagey. Like, these are the people who hated Tom Petty thirty years ago and now they think he is a distinguished folksinger or something.

ilxor, you know they're just playing the album track over some footage, right?

I always appreciate trolling that starts out with "No disrespect". A+ dude

i mean, someone can tell me if im wrong, but even just "fast forwarding" through that thing, i cant hear a difference

markers, Thursday, 23 December 2010 20:25 (fifteen years ago)

I know it sounds mean, but this is music for young people, not people in their fifties who listen to NPR.

Hexum Enduction Hour (u s steel), Thursday, 23 December 2010 20:26 (fifteen years ago)

Yep, there are TONS of people in this thread in their fifties.

I still maintain that Speak Now is a pretty marginal affair, but Fearless was an instant classic.

still enjoying this lots. probably too long though; when the songs are this good cutting it down to 10 tracks would be better methinks. sort of wish there was maybe one faster track in the second half?

title track so great.

reallysmoothmusic (Jamie_ATP), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 09:39 (fifteen years ago)

also December and Dear John are too close to each other near the start and slow things down a bit much. basically they need to let me sequence the next one.

reallysmoothmusic (Jamie_ATP), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 09:41 (fifteen years ago)

These may have already been linked somewhere on here, but I just got around to the live clips from her Ed Sullivan Theater gig. They're good.

something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Saturday, 8 January 2011 15:20 (fifteen years ago)

This is an honest, innocently curious question- what sets her apart from every other country pop star out there? I'm having trouble seeing why she stands out.

I will always think of you, while (quite) fondly, myself (Evan), Saturday, 8 January 2011 16:30 (fifteen years ago)

serious answer: you should listen to some more country pop. she barely fits the genre.

Mordy, Saturday, 8 January 2011 16:33 (fifteen years ago)

haunted sounds like an evanescence song

iatee, Saturday, 8 January 2011 16:34 (fifteen years ago)

Well, it mostly sounds like just pop to me, but isn't she branded as at least country-ish pop? I know there is banjo and steel guitar throughout.

I will always think of you, while (quite) fondly, myself (Evan), Saturday, 8 January 2011 16:35 (fifteen years ago)

Which is usually enough.

I will always think of you, while (quite) fondly, myself (Evan), Saturday, 8 January 2011 16:36 (fifteen years ago)

there's def some country branding going on, but you asked what makes her stand out from other country pop which isn't the right question (bc outside branding she really doesn't sound like any other country pop music).
