Kenney Chesney & Faith Hill TV specials
 

I "enjoyed" Kenney's 1st 3 songs, and Gretchen rocked!!! Kenney is as queer as they come! Fraud annulment uh huh!

Faith is about as country as Metallica. Why do they label her country? The bitch hasn't been country since 1996. Boy Bekka is aging fast lol! Loved her Gwen Stefani hair though.

Anyway Faith is SO BORING, her performance is DARK and DEPRESSING. How much more can I describe a thumbs down hour. I guess some people like this shiit, I don't! BARF!

Agree on all counts! I know that almost no one here likes country. IF they think that Kenny, or Tim, or Faith, or Barf Brooks, is country, they have no idea of what country IS.

Kenny sucked!

Faith rocked!

Culottes would, like, totally complement her vest!

No one on the country charts are country. They think they are cuz they wear cowboy hats and make terrible music videos.

Love it!

faith looked gorgeous, kenny he just is scary looking~

Hate Kenny, but must say, he has a nice voice, there, I said it! Faith is okay, I just love looking at her. She is sooooo beautiful.

Kenny sucked huh? Missed that one....;) :lol:

Dont care for either...
 

Faith Swill or Kenny Cheese-wad...Yet more examples of how looks in the music industry prevails over true talent.

Let me ask you this as a serious question to a coutry music fan. Who do you consider to be true talents? I'm not trying to be confrontational, I'm just curious as to what you think, coming from me as a casual fan of country.

The only one...
 

of the current popular new country crop I consider talented is Keith Urban, Having sat 10 feet from him as he played guitar (Way back in 2001 before he hit it bigtime), sang and just had fun is more entertaining then watching someone sing with perfect vocals like a Faith Swill.

I consider a guitarist, songwriter, producer more talent than just "an attractive markable face" who can sing...Anyone can be taught to sing if provided with the proper tools, Learning to play the guitar, how to write memorable songs & learn the tricks in studio production is talent (And this goes for ALL types of music....Not just country.)

One of the reasons I do not listen to 99.9% of what is considered popular & mainstream is the talent factor....And why I never will, Not only is beauty is in the eye of the beholder but so is talent. (What you may consider talent is what I may not and vice-versa)

I keep hearing good things about Keith Urban, I may have to check him out eventually.

Although as far as country music goes, voice can be very important. And I don't mean a technically-perfect-but-lacking-in-any-personality-whatsoever voice, but something truly distinctive. That's part of why folks like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson and are legends. Yes, they're great songwriters as well, but they're almost known more for their voices. Johnny Cash's voice just stops you dead in your tracks, whether he's singing a song he wrote himself or an old standard or something Rick Rubin threw at him.

Regardless, "Anyone can be taught to sing?" That's just not remotely true. There are plenty of people out there who are tone deaf or don't have much range or just have bad voices. Watch some American Idol auditions; you could lock some of those people in a locked room with a vocal coach for a month, and they still wouldn't sound much better.

No thanks...
 

I refuse to ever watch (Or even acknowledge) American Idiotic Idol...Yet more dumbing down of America ("Why work the grind for a record deal when you can just add water and have an instant deal via American Idiotic Idol?")

Besides I was being sarcastic with my reply with that alot of newer musicians think they can sing, Where it sounds like they used the proper tools in the studio to enhance their rather bland/toneless vocals (Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has forever damaged my hearing...Man, I heard more tone deafness in the one show than in any other medium that is available.)

She looks different. What has she had done?
