I'm sorry how did this get to 5 pages and no one noticed the nips in this?
 
Theres nothing wrong with a guy liking taylor swift, I don't even bother hiding the fact I listen to her stuff. I've never had any problem picking up women either, listen to what you like, who cares what anyone thinks.
 
I wouldn't compare Jewel to Swift. One, I just don't care for Swift style of music, and two, Jewel has been in the business almost as long as taylor been alive.

Jewel debuted on February 28, 1995, with the album, Pieces of You, which became one of the best selling debut albums of all time, going platinum 15 times.

from her wiki page.

I think a better comparison for Jewel is Liz Phair. both had debut around the same time('93 - '95) and their writing style is somewhat similar.

plus she has a song titled 'Fuck and Run' and who can argue with that.
 
Jewel is the chick in the English class who is cute and makes smart comments in class, but otherwise doesn't say much. Then you meet her at a Halloween party and she's dressed in a red corset and some thigh highs; next thing you know, you're in her room and she's either trying to convince you to let her put a strap on in your ear or choke her. She's not trashed either. Not that this happened to me, or anything.

Taylor tells a story in each of her songs.

And they are relatable

And they are actually good songs

You have to be a gay bonobo to fail to see that

like I said--for 15 year old kids.

you know, everyone can "relate" to he rlittle stories, b/c we've all been there.

Here's the point, and try to think about: Once you get well past that age, mid-20s, say, you realize that those little dramas and feelings, as serious as they were, then, don't amount to a hill of beans.

this is why she has no relevance. Her little stories don't carry over as you mature, b/c they just become trite. It's a simple fact of aging and growing the fuck up.

Like I said--I totally get it and understand her spiel, but it simply isn't for a mature, experienced audience. Jewel rights to an older, wizened crowd.

Now, I would not be surprised that if Taylor keeps on trukcin for another decade or so, and remains a talented writer (becomes a bit more versatile, though), she would be writing relevant stories. the simple fact of it all: SHE JUST HASN'T LIVED LIFE.

it takes experience. she has the chops, but she's simply outclassed by generations and generations of solid songwriters that had interesting lives to write about. her life is...well, boring.

I am willing to bet she's lived a lot more than she wants her fans to know. Hence why she won't go on the record on virginity and the like.

She fucking dated John Mayer. He's not the 'waiting for marriage' type.

so "fuckin' around" is living life, eh?

I've known whores in high school that would put any whore to shame. bfd.

Has she known death?
Has he jumped a box car and ridden cross country with a bunch of hobos?
has she been knocked up and left at the alter, maybe left for dead in lower Idaho?
Has she done lines off the back of a bactrian camel while taking a midnight caravan through the Gobi desert?

seriously, wtf does she actually know about life? she might "be sluttier than we think?" really? fucking, really, alky? that's it??

you would be funnier, alky, if you weren't so goddamn 1 dimensional.

Yeah, but only if they spend their off time downing a case of Coors on their living room couch, with their wife bitching at them from the kitchen for drinking too much, every damn night.

That's why 99% of her fans are teenage girls. We found the remaining 1% here.

fix0red, I understand Taylor and believe me there's absolutely zero brilliance to her. She makes bubble gum pop that will be forgotten in 10 years.
