I've fallen in love with Shania Twain!
I don't even like country all that much, but her new song "Forever and Always" just DOES it for me. The last time a country song did that for me was Reba McEntire's "You Lie" about 13 years ago. SOmething about a certain kind of country song turns me into a ball of putty...

1. Shania Twain wouldn't know a country song if she heard one
I have no ill will toward Shania, but she's not a country singer. She's middle of the road pop. She's real pretty though.

3. That's probably why I like it. I love middle of tthe road pop.
Not much into the more typical country stuff. Dolly's "Here You Come Again" really did it for me way back when, too.

Just wanted to make clear I wasn't criticizing you. Just Shania a little. She's okay. I love Canadians. :)

EDIT: I can't control my smiley habit.

7. She lost me at "That don't impress me much"
Talk about a self-obsessed bitch.

No guy in the world is good enough for her

Not a rich guy,
Not Brad Pitt,
Not a genius...

no one!

Skank.

16. Well that's funny
cause it always appeared to me that the song was about a self-obsessed guy, not a self-obsessed "bitch." With lyrics like:

"I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve-just in case
And all that extra hold gel in your hair oughtta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid it should fall outta place . . ."

it seemed pretty clear that she's saying she doesn't want a guy that thinks he's "all that." She doesn't want the flash, she doesn't want a poser, all she wants is a guy who can "keep me warm in the middle of the night." To me it looks like she's telling the guy, you don't need to pretend you're Elvis, just be yourself. Granted, I'm not a huge fan or anything, but it seemed pretty clear to me that she wasn't trying to insult her entire male audience (which I imagine is quite large).

11. Obviously, you don't know your sh*t from
Shania...

:D


:P


You wouldn't believe how long I've been waiting to say that to someone. Either that or 'Shinola Twain.'

Just looked up Shinola to see exactly what it is. Huh. That's what I thought it was. Shoe polish. Actually, I think I used to know that, before grad school filled my brain up.

Not everybody knows that, though:

14. That song is Faith Hill - Not Shania.
Make sure you're bashing the right country cover girl...

17. Oops! You're right.
And I'll concede that that song is annoyingly ubiquitous...

10. Shania sucks!! But not as much as Reba
Anyone like Def Leppard in the 80's or a few AC/DC cd's?
Thats Shania's hubby. Its all recycled crap.

And Reba, Sweet, sweet Reba.

To bad when the Dixie Chicks were being crucified (you know, real country music) Reba's only statement was "Well they should of known to keep their mouths shut"

Or something like that, in a very condescending tone.

I haven't watched her since. The whole country music community should issue a apology to the Chicks. IMHO.

12. Let it OUT, Mom!
I got your back!

:bounce:
dbt

And after Nashville apologizes to the Chicks, they need to ADMIT that Johnny Cash is The King of Rock And Roll!

13. She loves her fans SO much...
that she moved to Switzerland to get away from them. The station where I work gave me comp tix to see her in concert. Worst show I've ever seen. She covers her inadequacies up with fx and dancing around too much. Stand in one place and sing...if you can, Shania Twang. My name is Tom_Foolery, and I endorse this opinion.
