Label Defends Taylor Swift as 'Voice of a Generation'

Label Defends Taylor Swift as 'Voice of a Generation'

I can't believe this guy is trying to defend Taylor Swift's atrocious performance. He cites that live performances will have technical difficulties. But she was terrible in last year's performance as well. Is it a coincidence that on two of the biggest nights they will have "technical difficulties"? It seems the only technical difficulty is her inability to carry a tune. Maybe she should stick to songwriting and let those Grammys go to people who deserve them.

Also, "voice of the generation"? If auto-tune is the voice of this generation, I want out. Call me old-fashioned, but I like people who can actually sing on their own.

I know this sounds harsh but I'm sick of how the music industry fails to provide us with good new music. They only sign people based on how their MARKETABILITY rather than actual musical TALENT. Music should not be about money and sponsors and how many records you can sell with a pretty face.
