The main problem I have w/ TS is her vocals plain and simple. I don't mind that she is successful or doing well on the charts, etc b/c her music is popular and she seems to know how to entertain, get the audience/crowd into her performance. I just wish her talent (meaning her live vocals) would back up those accomplishments is all. If she sounded strong and great live and sounded close to her recorded songs, then I for sure wouldn't be on TS so much. Hopefully she can give me one GREAT performance that just wows or blows me away and makes me think that girl's got talent and then I would let up on her alot.
I too don't care for her bragging and thinking she is all great when she really isn't all that and there are far more talented people out there than her. So if she would be a little more humble and work more on her vocals I would give her alot more of my respect. But I do think we should try to focus more on Carrie than TS but it's hard not to discuss about other artists due to this upcoming award show. People are going to discuss on who they like to win and who they don't want to win. It's only human nature.
But let's get back to Carrie. I'm glad Carrie is going to be able to sing her own song and do a tribute and also get to present. I feel more confident now that Carrie will win FVOTY than I was before. I'm excited to hear the tribute song she will be singing. I'm sure it will be great. LN should be a fun and rocking performance too.
I'm also surprised that Martina and Reba or Tim and Faith aren't singing. Seems like this year will be mostly full of younger performers or middle aged performers w/ the exception of Garth Brooks.
