Incase there was any doubt about which is the real musician, and which is the hack...

I give you this youtube vid:

Shania cant hold a candle to the wonderful and talented Allison Kraus.

1. That's a terrible song for Twain...

she just doesn't have the low notes in her range.

[Pierre.Suave]

3. I have never really liked Shanias voice...

I generally hate all country music, but Allison Kraus has such an amazing and pure voice, I rush out to buy her albums so I can listen to her.

and then, she has that amazing band behind her. They are a good bunch thats for damn sure. All talented. Shania? not so much...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Twain's too nasal for my taste...

And I can't help thinking most of her success is the result of the right amount of jiggle and a well-placed moan here and there. :puke:

[Pierre.Suave]

13. I agree

I think her looks have a lot to do with her "success"

However, given the choice, I would prefer to listen to Allison over Shania any day of the week.

2. I once served this tiny little church in a tiny little town when Alison was just getting started

and she played a concert at the local high school. Just after that, her first album really took off and she became famous. But I sat in the front row for that concert, and could nearly touch her. Wonder what a ticket like that costs now?

She's wonderful!

[Pierre.Suave]

8. That would be really cool

I would love to listen to her voice in person. I am sure it is awesome.

4. What's she doing there from about 00:42 to 00:57

She doesn't really play an instrument does she?

It looks more like she's giving a lame handjob.

[Guaranteed]

5. While she sings "There ain't no way I'm letting you go down" nt

[Pierre.Suave]

6. She is no fun...

:rofl:

[Guaranteed]

9. Hey, as long as she just keeps at it... nt

[ChoralScholar]

7. hehe...

:) I hadn't thought of that...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. Here's Alison singing with real talent...

[Pierre.Suave]

12. Are you implying that Allison does not have real talent?

regardless, thanks for the link.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. Not at all...

Bonnie's worthy of appearing on the same stage with Alison. :hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

15. I agree

Bonnie has talent. She is very good.

[greendog]

16. You all might get a kick out of this old album cover.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. Awww...

She was a cute kid, too!

18. "She's the most popular lap dancer in Dogpatch"- Steve Earle

[TZ]

19. That's Shania's song actually

She usually sings it in a higher key and sings it quite well. I don't think the fact that Shania has a different range than Allison Kraus makes her a "talentless hack". You should listen to some of her older work. Its quite good.

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. And neither can hold a candle to an actual musician.

And I love your symbolic use of the word "which" instead of "who" - so totally appropriate when talking about engineered "musical product". They really are "which"es.

[hellbound-liberal]

21. Alison Kraus does have an amazing voice.

I can't remember hearing anyone singing any song better than the way she sang this one:

A Living Prayer
