I really love this comment
Steve Earl is dissing Garth Brooks as a singer? Really? Because there's a pretty long list of people who will be happy to tell you that Steve Earle is as tone deaf as he's said to say that Brooks is.
Which is kind of the point. Anyone who thinks that there's something *objective* behind the idea of one artist being "real" and another not has a lot to learn about music. Just like anyone who thinks that there's some objective way of measuring who's a "good singer" has a lot to learn about music. And anyone who thinks that quoting someone else's opinion about yet another person's music is a good substitute for expressing his or her own opinion about it has a lot to learn about music.
I mean, really, why should I give two blue beans in a blue bladder about whether Patterson Hood likes Taylor Swift's music? What makes him the big expert on her music, or on country music, or on anything else except what he himself does -which, by the way, as a country music fan of nearly 50 years, I just don't have much use for? I'm cool with him doing his own thing, though. Is there some good reason that he can't be cool with anyone else doing theirs? Some reason why you think his lack of cool in that regard is worth spreading around like it was some kind of country music gospel?
The reason that a lot of people - particularly other musicians, and people who have been in and around the business of making music for a living - admire Swift is the same reason that a lot of people admire a wide variety of artists, from Bill Monroe to Shania Twain to Patterson Hood. Swift has insisted on doing her stuff her way. She has been willing to pass up lucrative opportunities in order to stick with that. Like her music or not, she's obviously serious about it, and she has what people like to call integrity. And that means that whether you like it or not, if you don't take it seriously, if you dismiss it with idle, thoughtless prattle about what's "real" and what isn't in a way that suggests you think that's something other than just another way of expressing your personal taste, that says more about you than about her and her work.
Well said my friend

I want to see it spend 18 weeks at the top tbh. Actually if it could stay #1 forever I wouldn't be too mad at that either

I just looked at Norah Jones' singles discography .. she must've been an awful single artist .
I'm quite surprised because her album sales are huge .

Just look at her debut album's (Come Away With Me) sales.
Incredible numbers considering without any single success.

Her music is not exactly radio friendly.  I would not mind Taylor becoming an artist like that (she kind of is). Album sales>single sales.

Using today's mainstream Country standard, if Kween Taylor make a song like "Happy Pills" with a little steel guitar, it could pass as a Country song. Good enough that could make ppl ignore the fact it's actually a Jazz song. 
And now that you all Radio lovers have discovered this very fact about Norah, how do you feel right now for wanting her to get a #1 Hot100 & HUGE airplay? Legend? Or One-Hit Wonder ala Pop-tarts? Your choice.
