As for “Teardrops”, I also fail to see how she’s skanky in that one. Again, she seems resigned that the girl is luckier than her. Longing for someone with a boyfriend or girlfriend is a pretty universal thing for teens. I kinda like how Taylor takes the “it sucks but hey we’ve all been through it” approach rather than telling them to proactively do something about it as you seem to infer. It’s a good message. You should also listen to “Fifteen”. It’s kind of captures her whole outlook on being a teen and it’s very nice and positive.

Avril, however, has pretty questionable morals, true. Don’t lump them in together.

Whatever your opinion of her music is beside the point. From an objective industry perspective she was gonna win this, Kanye or not.

It’s funny because while the rest of the world was in shock and awe about kanye’s diss, I was at home watching this and thinking “HELL’S YEAH! :D”

I also don’t like the idea of her releasing songs like “teardrops on my guitar” and “You belong with me”. In my opinion these songs are making it okay for girls to long for a guy even though he does have a girlfriend. I also have the same beef with avril when she released “girlfriend”. It’s just all wrong and just teaching young girls to be skanky.

That being said, she’s pretty fucking terrible.

Somehow, I think that lack of talent helps Swift’s cause. Her material is allright, and she comes off as a lot more wholesome and human than all those auto-tuned tween-bots. You – and your whole family! – can hear her giving a damn.
