We’ll have to agree to disagree on the topic. I think she’s a pretty great artist who makes wonderful use of auto tune and other modern music-making marvels, but in my opinion saying she is a singer is a stretch of the imagination.
Look, dude, I'm not a T-Swift fan by any means, but she would not have made it this far if she wasn't a competent singer. Just did a quick search to find her singing live, and I listened to five seconds of this video of her on SNL. She's not an Adele or Mariah Carey or something, but she's fine. She does what she needs to do. Saying she relies on autotune and other studio magic is kind of a silly argument. Everyone uses that these days.
I didn’t say everyone doesn’t use it some. I’m saying I’ve heard her without it and the few times I have, I didn’t think it sounded good at all. I like a whole lot of people that aren’t Mariah Carey or Adele. I never said that was my expectation…
For some perspective, who are some people you consider good singers?
