That's a bit creepy. Taylor sings to women. Young and old women love her music. Men just think she's pretty.

A little bit ago I read here that my most favorite singer James Otto is about to release a brand new song named "Somewhere Tonight". May this song stand apart from all of the "country" songs that suck these days!
God bless you and him always!!!

P.S. Go here to vote for him as the sexiest male in country music. You may be able to vote once for each day that the poll is up and going.
God bless you and him always!!!

Her songs really only appeal to teenage girls, who have more "boy problems" than there are Miami Dolphins.

The "Sexiest Man in Country Music" competition... now THAT could also explain why country music is in the state that its in. I don't think that Hank Williams, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggerd, Waylon Jennings, Glen Campbell, John Anderson, or the boys of "Shanendoah" ever wanted to hold that prestigious title.
I don't mean that to be rude, but it seems like being the "sexiest man in country" is what drives some of these performers to stardom. I don't think Luke Bryan would have the same appeal if he didn't resemble a Calvin Cline model. On a positive note, I think that James Otto (from what i've heard) has too much respect for his work to desire that title. I think he'd rather have one of his songs of traditional subject matter get some airplay.

Depends....if you look at Merle's album covers from the 60s, he definitely was going for a movie star look, kind of like James Dean. Same with Glen Campbell and early Waylon. Marty Robbins was also quite the playboy who raced cars in his spare time. All of these guys will tell you the reason they became musicians was to get attention from the ladies.
Well I scanned through the earlier messages and did not see my choice on here..(Acutally TWO)...but before my nominations for the worst country song, I will add that Taylor is going pop....she is going to take over as the sweet sexy clean queen of pop music; Taylor can claim that title while Miley and others go off as tramps..
As for the WORST county song(s), I have to add these two....."Dropkick me Jesus through the goalpost of life" and "CB Savage".....They are both deep in the dregs...

I agree with what you say about appearance being the reason why certain people are where they are in the music field. I do however disagree with you on what you say about James. Him having integrity in my opinion only makes him stand out even more to where my vote goes to him on anything that I can vote for him on!
God bless you and him always!!!

Bare's tune (Dropkick Me) is really just a little novelty tune, like Hank Jr's Fax Me a Beer.
Say what you will about Dropkick Me Jesus. The singer, Bobby Bare, is in the Country Music Hall of Fame and the song's writer is in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Which shows that they both managed to get beyond a novelty song and come with other songs that had longevity. We all could be so lucky.
I would agree with this. Taylor is following the same path to (super)stardom that Shania Twain did. Not a criticism, just an observation.
It was played on country stations in normal rotation....so it counts...
I agree...Modern country songs are redos of old Top40 music from the 70s or just BAD stuff period....I like some of the old classic country from the 60s (grew up listening to Eddie Arnold and others on 8 track with my dad driving on long trips)..guess the modern ones cannot come up with any fresh so they recycle a lot of top40 songs hoping to catch baby boomers..
Im a Texan but I still like my rock and roll...county? not so much

Going back to why I started this thread, I'm not so much bothered by these novelty songs or even "Achy Breaky Heart" or "Red Solo Cup" as I am those songs that make it difficult to even listen to country radio. The novelty songs actually sound good even if they're silly. It's the rock songs and Taylor Swift's pop that have made country radio sound like it does.
Novelty songs actually sound like they may qualify as music, unlike popular country songs like "Burnin' it Down" or "Hope you get Lonely Tonight"
Speaking of "Hope you get Lonely Tonight", what AWFUL lyrics.... "If you're feelin' what i'm feelin' lets mix it up. You've got my number, baby, hit me up. If you're looking for a late night pick-me-up, I hope you get lonely tonight." Who is writing this stuff??
But it's the rock and pop that have always been a party of country, going back to Eddy Arnold and Elvis Presley. That's why there are several who are members of both the Country and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame. Waylon's biggest problem when he came to Nashville was he was too rock. So was Hank. Jr. That's the inspiration to Family Tradition! "Some of my kinfolk have disowned a few of us 'n me." It's a theme in most of his music.
But they were actually good. Sure, themes used in music of the 50's and 60's are still around today.
You could technically compare "Stupid H___" by Niki Minaj to "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles. Both songs have a repetitive, pop-like nature, but only one of those compositions is actually a song.

It’s a catchy number 1 song that will propel Cole Swindell’s career even further. I like it.
You have to put that music in the context of its time. Ernest Tubb was too extreme for the Opry.
