Never got Taylor Swift’s appeal. She’s this generation’s Debbie Gibson imo.

Not crazy about her music, my wife likes all the pop stuff so I suffer...

RoswellGAHokie • 08/25/23 11:16 AM ET
I'm not a Swiftie, but she's unbelievably talented. Her tour is something
reestuart • 08/25/23 01:15 PM ET
How so?
Will StewartAdmin • 08/25/23 07:23 PM ET
One of those if you know you know
SRE87 • 08/25/23 11:16 PM ET
No clue. I don’t get it, but it’s real. **
reestuart • 08/25/23 09:11 PM ET
LOL. Worst comparison ever.
ModerateHokie • 08/25/23 12:18 PM ET
Musically, she reminds me of a Debbie Gibson. It’s not a comparison of
RoswellGAHokie • 08/25/23 12:24 PM ET
Totally disagry
HokieMacDaddy • 08/25/23 12:50 PM ET
Gibson did write a lot of her own music though.
vthokieq • 08/25/23 12:57 PM ET
You want to get upset?
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 11:55 AM ET
Why are you debating whether Swift if a good person?
ModerateHokie • 08/25/23 12:19 PM ET
I tend to not support people
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 01:15 PM ET
I volunteered at a Children's Hospital for many years.
132863Hokie • 08/25/23 01:59 PM ET
And that's great. I have a similar story about Buzz Williams
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 02:35 PM ET
Can I ask a serious question...
vthokieq • 08/25/23 01:26 PM ET
Are there other artists that are almost strictly known for writing about
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 02:38 PM ET
As I said...I think A LOT of artists do/have...
vthokieq • 08/25/23 02:51 PM ET
Sure they have, how many have written multiples of those songs?
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 03:40 PM ET
So reading that article the only one who seemed…
vthokieq • 08/25/23 04:01 PM ET
Maybe that she's just more forthcoming about it?**
HokieMacDaddy • 08/25/23 01:53 PM ET
And more direct I think
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 02:33 PM ET
She’s alot more than Debbie Gibson.
GreenvilleVT • 08/25/23 11:46 AM ET
I think Swift deserves a bit more credit than that.
Tafkam Hokie • 08/25/23 11:28 AM ET
I had this discussion with my wife the other day
HokieMacDaddy • 08/25/23 12:54 PM ET
For that question, I would go with Madonna, but it would purely
Tafkam Hokie • 08/25/23 01:23 PM ET
Fair points
HokieMacDaddy • 08/25/23 01:51 PM ET
I would add that she's largely scandal-free. No nude leaks, no 5150 holds,
Spud • 08/25/23 11:51 AM ET
Not many musicians or other pop stars can say that...lol**
EDGEMAN • 08/25/23 12:00 PM ET
LOL...not even close.
vthokieq • 08/25/23 11:19 AM ET
Yep. Her impact is on that level even if perhaps her talent isn't.**
vt90 • 08/25/23 11:24 AM ET
I'm not going to even begin to debate "talent".
vthokieq • 08/25/23 11:28 AM ET
I am not a hater of her and she is an excellent writer and performer ...
vt90 • 08/25/23 11:44 AM ET
And that’s fine, but realize you’re arguing something…
vthokieq • 08/25/23 11:48 AM ET
Not really arguing anything ...
vt90 • 08/25/23 11:50 AM ET
Arguing, debating, criticizing, whatever word you want to use.
vthokieq • 08/25/23 11:58 AM ET
We can agree that her cosmetic surgeon is talented.**
vt90 • 08/25/23 12:01 PM ET
And talent has never really been a great predictor at success in music
Tafkam Hokie • 08/25/23 11:32 AM ET
Then this is a vapid generation. **
RoswellGAHokie • 08/25/23 11:21 AM ET
The Beatles were deep? **
ModerateHokie • 08/25/23 12:21 PM ET
And just like every generation that came before it...
vthokieq • 08/25/23 11:23 AM ET
Taylor’s just way too revolutionary. Riiiight. **
RoswellGAHokie • 08/25/23 11:24 AM ET
LOL...relax grandpa...nobody is saying you have to understand it. ;-)
