But as I said to PG, I’ve heard her be shaky vocally before, so this doesn’t seem like an isolated incident.

But this isn’t the first time that I have felt her vocals were less than stellar.

The dance vibe hasn’t fully built here, but GaGa and Cascada are sure helping with that.

The bitch can’t sing and didn’t deserve ‘Album Of The Year’. The thing is – I’m actually a fan. It’s a good album and she deserved something for “You Belong With Me”, which is a superb pop song. However, all of this momentum comes from that Kanye moment. It’s just ridiculous.

Not a surprising yikes (and for me not something that changes my appreciation of the songs of hers I do like), but I know it put off a few people I know, so for some other people who hadn’t previously seen her sing live, it may have been a revelation. Great as Stevie is, having her sing Taylor’s lyrics was a bad idea, too.
