Been waiting for this moment. That is the most obvious, that she has not progressed at all. She must know she cannot compete with real singers. Her fan base is already moving on. She can keep writing, but she won't ever get big again performance wise. Finally, she was shut out. Been waiting for this moment. That is the most obvious, that she has not progressed at all.

I was jumped on by so many people. But like both comments before me she is a studio singer (ala Melodine and Autotune). She would have made it through the auditions at American Idol where it's televised so the audience could get a good joke. Don't get me wrong for the type of music she writes, she's brilliant but her vocals are as tarnished as a piece of silver sitting on the ocean floor.

From there, the tweens jumped on the bandwagon much like (as you say Hannah Montana). I have never believed that she was near as talented as the others on the show. In fact, as I have watched American Idol the past few seasons, I can't help but think that she would not even have made it past the first round of auditions because she cannot perform live very well at all. She has not improved in her live performances since she broke onto the scene. All of her theatrics on stage are very robotic and put on. The jumping around and "headbanging" seems to be her trying to imitate Miranda only it is not natural like it is for Miranda. Last night she leaned back for a "big" note like a Martina McBride or Faith Hill would. The only problem is there isn't the big voice to back that up; thus it was a very "corny" move as Simon Cowell would say. There is only so long that the tweens will stay with her before they move on to the next fad. It appears that her peers have moved on from the "aww she's cute stage" and have gone back to recognizing real talent.

Without the safety net of the studio she sings grossly out of tune and is not very good and she is not country. Now that she is growing older and moving into the arena of having to compete with quality female adult country singers and adult listeners and not little girls her weaknesses and flaws become glaring. I for one was pleased to see the ACM's deservedly shut her out. From the start of her first appearance on national TV several things have been transparently true about Swift.
