Well, I'm on dial up, so I can't see the you tube stuff, but help me out here... I respect that she writes her own songs, and I can appreciate the appeal some of them might have to the younger folks. But entertainer of the year??? Female vocalist of the year??? Doesn't that mean she ought to be able to sing? She's barely decent recorded where her voice has been mixed and doctored, but live she really doesn't sound good. Except maybe for songwriting, she doesn't come anywhere near measuring up to Miranda or Carrie in any way...
Does she really have that broad of an appeal or can tweener girls influence ticket and album sales and airplay enough to make an entertainer of the year? My 11 year old niece is ga-ga over her - thankfully, my 10 year old daughter isn't...
