Maybe you don't like it, but to say it's epic fail is epic fail.
Oh, common, she's practically a Disney product: overmarketed, overplastered pile of WASP with no vocal talents whatsoever. To be honest I'd rather go to a Hannah Montana concert.

BS, I've heard her music/voice stripped down acoustic style. I would not say it is the greatest.. but no talent? ..lol
Is this your way at getting back at the popular girls in school? Poor fella.

..but by all means, Please share your idea of real vocal talent.. you know, excluding Hannah Montana.

I'm really missing the connection here; because I said Taylor Swift can't sing, I'm trying to get back at the popular girls in school? Why would I want to get back at them in the first place? Seems to me more like a projecting of your own traumas.

Regarding real vocal talent, if you want an honest answer:

Oh sorry, that was dripping in sarcasm. I mean she is the current 'music fad artist' so to speak.

I watched 5 seconds of that video that Mek posted it stopped it. Never heard of this Taylor person until now and I woulda rather have kept it that way.

That video I posted was more of a parody/joke than her actually singing, I think she's a different sort of singer than that. Never actually listened to her tracks though. As for West, he makes some good tracks, can't deny that, but he is a cock, but I try not to let personal indifference get in the way of what I think is a decent/entertaining track

I wonder if when Taylor Swift sat down and wrote out her goals it went something like...

Create a fan base of millions.
Win awards and recognition in the music industry.
Make millions.

or

Impress a few boys on a gaming forum.

Yes, truly fail . I personally don't care for her music, it's not my taste. But to say epic fail because it's not my cup of tea is not only stupid it's arrogant. I'm sure she is exactly where she wanted to be. ... if that is "fail" sign me up.

What kind of argument is that?

A shockingly large percentage of the US population is obese, does that make McDonalds healthy?

Popularity is by no means an indication of quality.

Hitler also had a fanbase of millions

You said fail buddy.. something she HAS not done. You are applying your standard.. which I hate to break it to the self proclaimed connoisseur, doesn't really mean anything. Results do matter when you are talking about fail/success.

People aren't going to Mcdonalds to be healthy. .. And guess what? The real goal of Mcdonalds isn't to make the customer skinny. What a pathetic attempt to link the two. You've got a real issue with recognizing goals.

Not really no, it was meant as an illustration to the fact that if something sells, that doesn't necesarily mean it's good. McDonalds is shit, the "food" is shit (quality and health wise), yet it sells like it were ambrosia.

Regarding Taylor's "fail"; I used "epic fail" as an expression of poor quality. I'm sure everyone on this forum (including you) knew exactly what I meant, so taking out the Oxford dictionary to point at the original linguistically correct definition of "fail" is, well,.. fail. But even if we adhere to your definition in which "results" matter, what kind of "results" one should take into consideration is still a matter of debate. If you determine someone's "succes" by the number of cattle he/she has acquired, then good for you! I do not.

i think the only artistic goal that taylor swift has achieved is the systematic whoring out of her soul as a brand and property

and that certainly isn't my measure of creative 'success', either. volume of records sold and the number of brand-endorsements attained doth not a good artist make.

Again.. you fail to recognize the primary goal. The primary goal of McDonald is to "sell like it were ambrosia". They aren't going out to find the finest chefs and use the finest products because the goal is economic.

Fail is fail. It's not about quality. In the comical sense it is about failure to the extreme or in an ironic sense. Does this mean that you admit she has not failed? Why should your opinion matter over millions? Everyone has different taste and quality of music IS open for debate. However, the best way to determine if someone has been successful is to look at their intended goals and compare them to the results.

Not that I really give a shit about what your musical tastes are, but did you know saying epic fail makes you sound like such a nerdy douchebag? It makes me rage when I hear people say it IRL.

It means I absolutely admit she has not failed at acquiring a horde of fans and a decent bank account, similar as to how McDonalds has not failed at even becoming perhaps Americas most succesfull export brand. However, it means absolutely nothing when assessing her musical talents. As a musician she's still failed, like McDonalds still fails horribly from a gastronomical perspective. Now, you say we have to look at their intended goals, but to stick with Hitler: are we not allowed to proclaim he failed as a human being, merely because he "succeeded" (you get the point) as Führer, his intended goal?

ITT: people bitter about the fact they'll never be as famous or financially successful as Taylor Swift

edit: how the hell has she failed Lai? She makes lots of money, lots of people listen to her music. Music is art, and art is subjective. One man's trash is another man's treasure etc. A guy who likes rap may hate death metal and not consider it 'real music' and vice versa.
