My career has nothing to do with Taylor Swift's or the world she lives in, but, as a MUSICIAN, I find that level of incompetence pretty revolting and the exaltation of it by the industry totally reprehensible. She's going to sell a shitload of records because she's marketable, fine, but that doesn't mean that she has to be given awards for artistic merit and achievement when she lacks BASIC musical skills. Also, I don't like Wheaties. Dear Elena,

My career has nothing to do with Taylor Swift’s or the world she lives in, but, as a MUSICIAN, I find that level of incompetence pretty revolting and the exaltation of it by the industry totally reprehensible. She’s going to sell a shitload of records because she’s marketable, fine, but that doesn’t mean that she has to be given awards for artistic merit and achievement when she lacks BASIC musical skills.

Also, I don’t like Wheaties.

Who pissed in your wheaties? Try and focus on YOUR career and working on YOUR success, rather than blaming pretty teen pop queens for your shortcomings. It makes you sound like a whiney little... Dear Jim,

Wow. Who pissed in your wheaties? Try and focus on YOUR career and working on YOUR success, rather than blaming pretty teen pop queens for your shortcomings. It makes you sound like a whiney little…

Of course there are notable exceptions like Brandi Carile. Listen to a song called "That Year" or pretty much anything else. Brandi's music hopefully will find a wider audience!!!

From a fellow Michigander and fan of yours, I have to ask “who is Taylor Swift?” Keep up the good work – talent and hard work will make all the difference in the end.
Sincerely,
Catherine (and even I noticed Taylor’s off-key Grammy performance – ugh!)
