I'm just hoping it's not another "Timmy" hoax. It does sound real, though. I'm still thinking Madonna or Jlo.

Who is Timmy? All I can think is Timmy's down the well and Lassie needs to rescue him. I don't think that's it. LOL.

Remember.. it was that blind item about the actress who supposedly was really a man named Timmy? or something like it. We all tried to guess who "she" was..

I don't think I was around for that. It may have been while I was taking a break from the board. Or I could have contributed to the discussion and be having a complete brain fart about it! Anything is possible with me! Another thing to obsess about!

Yeah, Taylor Swift.. I was shocked to hear her sing so flat and well not very well on DWTS and then equally shocked that she won all those CMA awards.. I mean WTH?? Entertainer of the YEAR? That used to really mean something!!

I think we have to remember that she had a very big past year.

Maybe she had an off night? Anyway she has had a lot of big hits and my understanding is that she writes a lot of her own stuff and that takes talent.

I think her sound mixer was off for the night! Historically, there have always been singers who sound rockin' solid when recorded but who sound just gawdawful when performing live IF they do not have their own sound mixers and equipment. So Taylor's CMA award... she's sold a lot of records, her video was well-received, and apparently the Academy loves her. How many years did Brooks & Dunn win that award? Just sayin'...

I agree, Costa. Awards are fickle things anyway. Kenny Chesney won 5 years in a row and someone here is a voter, can't recall who, but she said it was because he was constantly out on the road doing shows.

She's a cute girl. I don't have an opinion of her music because I don't think I have ever heard her. I've heard others grumble about the attention she gets. It is probably just sour grapes.

I really like Taylor Swift and her music. She's fun to listen to and my friends of all ages enjoy her. Good for her winning Entertainer of the Year!

I don't listen to country, but I heard her on Saturday Night Live and didn't think she sounded that good. I just don't get that she won all those awards, esp. Entertainer of the Year.

I have to say...Almost all of my favorite singers and bands sound sub-par when they are on SNL...I mean if they are actually performing live.

I agree Naja. In fact, I have noticed almost all of the really popular singers who have performed on DWTS, sounded not so good, but a few of the American Idol winners who have performed on DWTS sounded very good. I think Costa is on to it with having their own sound mixer and equipment.

Today's clue: MV has been separated (real separation and not just kicking the guy out for a couple of days) and/or divorced at least once. Tomorrow's final clue will eliminate one of your favorite guesses. Ok, I don't know who that eliminates--Madonna, JLo, Britney, Whitney, Shania, etc have all been divorced.

I just got off the phone with my mom and she is doing something so neat tonight! The clubhouse of the subdivision she and her DH live in is having a concert tonight, and the star is Shirley Owens(now Shirley Alston Reeves), the lead singer of the Shirelles! She is going to sing all the old big hits. like "Soldier Boy" and "Dedicated to the One I love" . I told my mom I think she must have retired to the best neighborhood ever in Florida to have people like this come and perform at her clubhouse...LOL

I don't think it is Britney or Whitney, only because there is footage (sometimes raw) of them singing as really youngsters. Brit was in teh Mickey Mouse Club w. Justin T and Christina A, also wasn't she on Star Search? That would be some conspiracy with "S" to back that far. WRT Whitney, I swear I have seen grainy footage of her singing in a church with her Auntie Dionne or even her Mom, Cissy. I think it would be hard to pull that scam on someone who came from a famous musical family (or maybe WHY they would pull the scam???) I like JLo even more for this BV.

Watch the clue tomorrow is that MV is assless and all of her husbands had meat on their bones. Then my first, second and third pick (J-Lo) is blown out of the water. Weird emphasis on the separation thing. Who has had a long separation?

If you read this wiki, at one point Madonna's company, Maverick, had financial difficulties and sued Warner Music group. This could explain the stopped payments to, "S". Also, she was pregnant in 2000. Could this have affected whether or not she could have sung on an album? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna_(entertainer) With Madonna, the more I read it all just seems to fit.

Don't get me started on Taylor Swift. I think she has done so well because of extreme marketing, the targeted demographic of preteen and teens, and the cutesy songs she herself writes. Her voice, however, is horrid. If she hadn't been so physically attractive, she would have never been signed and would have bene resigned to writing songs for other artists. I'm hopeful she will mature her voice, but she really cannot sing. <shivers>.

Caleb (who's musical tastes these days leans towards the Beatles, Metallica, Ozzy, The Who, Greenday, etc.) said last night he just didn't get Taylor Swift at all. He said, "I understand why people like her, she's very pretty, but as far as singing goes, she's Miley Cyrus horrible." I thought at first he was trying to get a rise out of Kota til I realized she wasn't in the room. Me and Darren cracked up.

None of these big stars are great singers. I'm curious who people here would describe as a great singer (not entertainer - which I think you can be without being a great singer - but a great singer)? Someone fairly recent?
