I need to hook myself up with some of the shit they're smoking.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm Canadian and I'm SUPPOSED to like her, but I don't. She is such a fake. She's another one that can barely sing and who's husband has made her who she is. If it were not for Mutt, Shania (Ilene) would still be singing in the locals bars across Ontario. Some people are so fooled!

I really love Shania Twain's music but felt the song selection on "Greatest Hits" could have been a lot better. I think her music is really good fun pop. I read one reviwer comparing her music to Abba (specfically, her "Up!" CD) and that sounds about right.

Her first album for MCA wasn't that bad. even though she didn't co-write many of the songs.

I enjoy a lot of her music.

Check out "Send It With Love" from the Wild & Wicked album. Great track.

I wouldn't take it too seriously. They gave Maddy's Immaculate Collection five stars, too.

The difference being that "The Immaculate Collection" is widely heralded as the ultimate career-defining Madonna greatest Hits package that contains some of her most essential 80's pop classics. Shania's album has maybe 3 songs I've heard of.

Whats wrong with Shania?

Harlepolis said:

Nothing, but FIVE STARS? That should be reserved for seminal records, not trashy pop GH collections that don't even contain all of the hits. That's like Rolling Stone giving Mick Jagger's "Goddess In The Doorway" five stars. It just leaves you scratching your head.

VoicesCarry said:

Yeah but Allmusic ALWAYS give 5 stars to compilation CDs(or should I say, most of the time)

It ain't really that deep, you shouldn't take 'em too seriously!

Hey,,,those are part of our NEW AGE critics, remember?

Because Two For The Party is such an instant classic.

VoicesCarry said:

It's called Party for two genius who thinks he knows it all

LOL

jayaredee said:

I can't be faulted if that's how my tard local radio announcer introduces that craptastic track!

VoicesCarry said:

You just haven't given it a chance, it's your own fault really.

And Shania has the top selling album out of any female artist ever so you people who dislike her can fuck yourselves

jayaredee said:

I don't, actually, considering I own two versions of Come On Over and Up!

I just think she's really starting to repeat herself.

Like I said, she nothing but a local bar singer with looks. Without Mutt, she'd still be in Timmins.

kisscamille said:

Yeah that applies to Celine and so many other singers too.
It's called, connections you know
You know Janet had Michael etc.....

Why center Shania out?

jayaredee said:

Because IMHO Shania has very little real talent. Her voice his so-so. She gets by on her looks and the respect that her husband has from many others in the business. Her music is pure fluff. There's nothing remotely interesting about it and the new song is just plain pathetic!

kisscamille said:

She has great vocal talent and she sings great live too, i have no clue what you're hearing.
And what about Janet? SHe is vocally limited to and had big brother mike get her in the door!
WHy say nothing about her hmmmmm?

And quit talking about her husband

jayaredee said:

Janet's Michael connection certainly helped. But she was an actress before she was a singer, and Michael had limited input only on the first two records. Control was a statement of independence and from there she hasn't relied on Michael.

Now, Shania is another story, although that isn't my beef with her. Her tracks are just starting to sound incredibly repetitive.

VoicesCarry said:

When Janet got her first record contract, the people who signed her hadn't even heard her sing for godsake

jayaredee said:

Believe me, I've said plenty about Janet. I don't dislike Janet, but her voice is weak and her dance moves are old and tired. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have made her what she is today. I wonder if you've ever really heard Shania sing live Let's not argue ok. We all have our own opinions and I've told you why I'm not a fan of Shania. If you like her, then you keep buying her music. I for one, will never spend a penny on it.

kisscamille said:

Oh i didn't want to fight



sorry about the rukus

jayaredee said:

No reason to apologize. We all have our own musical taste and sometimes it's hard to see why someone likes an artist so much and why someone doesn't like them at all.

I love Shania's videos!!! She's easy on the eyes!

jayaredee said:

You mean her marketing team still has it.

jayaredee said:

Not true. She'd done background vocals since the late 70's.
