Chris Robinson, 'Taylor Swift Is Horrible'
Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson attacked Taylor Swift. He told Nylon Guys: 'I find it embarrassing that adults are like, 'Taylor Swift is very talented.' She's not. She might be cute, but she's horrible. They have stylists who dress them,
..they make records with producers who play a chord into the computer and it all comes out the same.. When you have computers doing it all for you.. there's no individuality. Singing isn't always about being on key; it's about emotionality.'
First?
First! Chris Robinson is the hero of the day :)
First?
rude, but its good to be honest. cause, her singing live is just.. not good
Chris Robinson who?
finally someone who can speak the truth. * applauds *
Taylor swift sings better live than most "singers" at the moment
Chris is my hero! :D
your mom is horrible chris-robinson
now all the tswift fans are gonna be like: "1 who even is this guy, hes just jealous" ... SMH.
some people acutally speak the truth. That does not mean that they are jealous.
her singing live is horrible
Taylor swift sings better live than most "singers" at the moment

ditto .
I agree with him, but is Taylor Swift the best example? She writes her own music, so that has to count for something. Maybe he should have mentioned Miley/Demi/Selena instead.
Rieowww.

I honestly don't know who that guy is

im sorry but she is not good live. yes, he songs are catchy, and ofcourse she has talent in song writing. but that doesnt mean we can call her a good singer..
I agree. She is not good live, which is kind of sad because she can WRITE.
But the guy was kind of rude to use the word "HORRIBLE".
I like Chirs Robinson. He's amazing. I mean, this is the first time I've heard of him,but...
I dislike her but that was not nice from him

I think Selena is the best example
She isn't the best singer but I don't think he can talk about emotionality... She writes almost all her songs so he fails when it comes to that.
But it's nice to see someone so honest :)

lol no. demi can sing her ass off, and writes her songs. selena can act amazingly. and miley is also a pretty good singer, and a good performer. and she also writes some songs.
taylor swift cant sing, but that doesnt mean she is not talented. the girl is a better song writer than alot of people. so yes, she has talent in song writing. but not in singing.
nobodys perfect :)
I'm not trying to hate on her but this video seriously made me lol

Selena is an amazing actress
Miley is an amazing singer
Taylor is an amazing songwriter

yes but you forgot to mention that selena is really great in acting.
That should be Demi he talked about and not Taylor. Taylor wrote her own songs and sticks to the music genre she loves which is pop country. When Demi started her career, she was punk rock. But now look at her music? pure crap. She wants to follow her fellow disney starts Miley and Selena. Demi is such a wannabe when she see that her album doesn't sell as much as Miley/Selena/Taylor, she starts to switch her genre to be like them. Look at how she dresses now. Sundress like Taylor? Cute gowns like Selena? High stripper shoes like Miley? If that doesn't screams wannabe then I don't know what to call her anymore. Fake attitude, fake style, fake relationship with joe.
Demi Lovato = FAILS.
The fact most Taylor fans on here will respond with "Who??" shows their ignorance towards music.
The Black Crows are brilliant, and this guy has more right as a musician to give his opinion on music acts that people like Miley Cyrus (who?).
Maybe you should give them a listen and discover what singers sounds like WITHOUT autotune.

Taylor isnt on key, and she puts emotion into them im sure cuz she writes them smh.LoL at the goes into a computer and they all sound the same.
Shut up! Taylor is awesome. If she wasn't, they wouldn't have picked a random girl from
taylor swift cant sing, but that doesnt mean she is not talented. the girl is a better song writer than alot of people. so yes, she has talent in song writing. but not in singing.

when she isnt jumping around she can sing. Her songwriting is good but not epic. Her songs are all about high school love nothing deep.

did you know that Demi's leg can be able to feed 2 hungry african kids? It's like a big fat steak!
this is subjective. one person may like the taylor, another may not like. but this don't mean you have no talent. I get pissed when someone says that person can't sing, it's just your opinion ... just because this guy is a "legend" doesn't mean I have to agree with his opinion
Miley has a co-writers, Demi has co-writers. Selena has co-writers.
Taylor wrote all the song by herself on her new album and in Fearless album She wrote 7 songs by herself and the album has 13 songs.

i dont want to be rude.. but imo demi is a better song writer than taylor. they both are very good song writers, but if i had to pick one it would be demi.
I think that Taylor, though she's not the most talented country singer in the bunch (Carrie & Miranda ftw), does have talent. And unlike the Disney crowd, she worked to get a recording contract, instead of getting one handed to her a la Miley, Selena, and Demi, who were all actresses first.
The irony in this though, is that Taylor has gotten an acting career, even though she can't act at all....

I think CMA hates Carrie.They didn't give her a nomination in 2008 either.This is why I like ACMs better
FINALLY, someone who acknowledges the fact that Taylor Swift isn't that talented as everyone thinks she is! I admire you Chris for speaking the truth. -- No, he's not jealous, so Swift fans need to shut up. -- No, she can't sing, live or in the studio. Doesn't matter, all her songs are the same and she doesn't even have a good voice to back them up. How on earth did she get signed to a record label in the first place?! America needs to wake up & see that she doesn't have talent. There are millions of girls out there with STUNNING voices who haven't been discovered.

Wanna say wtf are you talking about? You know nothing... well i don't care. I know good music, i know good talent when i see it & hear it.

lol your comment is kinda hypocritical. because.... taylor got her acting career handed to her as well. and imo taylor can not act at all. demi and miley can acutally sing, so they do deserve their recording contracts.
Taylor's upcoming album is called Speak Now so I guess Chris Robinson just spoke LoL

Holy shit! Taylor sounds horrible. But biggest fail: Carrie, even at 14, still owned Taylor. XD
Demi is fat and short and Taylor is thin and tall. Nice to know Joe has variety!
I'm a Taylor fan. And while I agree - she really is not the best singer, she does put a hell of a lot of emotion into her music, which she writes all herself..
I agree!!! plus Demi can sing 100000000000000 times better then her!!!!
Dude,I agree.
But who knows maybe she was like this before and when she got into Disney they created that rock-ish image of her and when they saw that didn't sell well they wanted to change her again.I don't think she had a choice she's just doing what she's told (which sucks big time) so i would say:
Demi Lovato's Management team = FAIL
*and i'm not even close of being a fan of hers.

Carrie kinda looked like Emily Osment when she was young
I totally disagree with this guy. Sure there are better singers out there than Taylor Swift, but it didn't give him the right to call her horrible. I'll admit she's not extraordinary, but she is a good singer. Also, seeing the people in Hollywood today, we need singers who are talented and a good role model. I mean look at say, Miley Cyrus, she is a pretty good singer but has become a really bad role model. I'm sorry to people who disagree but, it's my opinion.
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Taylor, I like some songs and that's all. It is once again, music is subjective ... Everyone has their own taste
So, guys, who are the BEST singers for you ? Apparently, when I read the comments, it's not Miley, not Demi, not Selena and not Taylor. So who are the best ?
ahhh finally someone says it :D

Kelly Clarkson,Carrie Underwood,Beyonce,Alicia Keys,Christina Aguilera
At least some one talks sense. Well done Chris.
He is not speaking only about Taylor Swift, he is Talking about all the musicians of today, and it includes Miley / Selena / Demi / Jonas / Bieber / etcetcetc
At last someone says what the majority of us are thinking...
At least Selena doesn't act like she's a God's gift to music unlike Demi.
He is not speaking only about Taylor Swift, he is Talking about all the musicians of today, and it includes Miley / Selena / Demi / Jonas / Bieber / etcetcetc
~~~
I can agree with you except with Jonas and Demi, they aren't cookie cutter stuff you hear on the radio. TAHNKFULLY. They both have a unique sound.
Um... Who?
I like Taylor, I think she IS very talented.
But everyone has different opinions.
I'm glad he spoke his, cause I'd rather hear someone's honest opinion, rather than just be "another one" lying about liking something, or someone.
But I think he should respect some adult's opinions, cause he may not find her good, but some people do.
Than I guess almost all singers are horrible. Taylor does not have the best voice, but all the other stuff is crap. Because almost all musicians have the computer doing the chords/instruments for them. Not just Taylor. And if he ever saw her dateline special, he would know that she tweaks everything herself when it comes to the instruments. Plus she writes her own music.
Taylor Swift? Horrible? uhh I think not. Who even is this Chris Robinson dude? I've literally never heard of him before. Maybe he just envies her for the simple fact that shes 10 times more popular than him. And if Mr Robinson did not notice 99.99999% of singers and bands edit their voices and have stylists. This Chris dude is just still living a different era I guess. So if anything he shouldve addressed the musicians of today and not attack Taylor. And Taylors really talented. She writes her own music plays guitar and piano very well and is the best role model teens and tweens everywhere can have. So Mr Robinson next time you want your fame to rise by insulting someone do not pick someone who deserves everything she has.
i think that he should jump on someone else's case because Taylor is a naturally nice person...wth...go jump down someone else's throat..nobody knows who the fuck you are!!
AMEN! Someone had to say it!
Agreed, maybe Taylor is a bad example here, like..why choose her out of everyone?
I do agree she's not the best live, BUT she has a lot of talent as a musician...just not singer. There's a difference.
Also, I don't think he was so much slating her lack of singing ability (as he goes on to say it's not about being on key/tune/whatever) but the fact that she does have her voice changed a lot on her albums, which she does.
Anyway, perhaps horrible was rather strong but, he has his opinion. Chris is someone to be really respected in music, I think, so you gotta let him think what he likes.
You are very late, OU
Even though Taylor is not the best singer out there, she can actually write her own songs, which is pretty rare these days. That's what makes her special. But truly, there are worse singers out there. I mean c'mon, we all know Selena's singing is pretty bad, and she only hits higher noted on her Cds, never live. Also, Chris is entitled to his own opinion, but it might be influenced by the fatc that he sells less albums?
I'm a huge T.Swift fan, and I can admit that she doesn't have the best voice, but she's not HORRIBLE. That was kind of rude. I love the emotion she puts into her songs, so what's this lack of "emotionality" that he's talking about? (Is emotionality even a word? xD)
This is why I would rather listen to big band music from the 30s and 40s, or the classics, like the Beatles and Stevie Wonder. There's either no autotune or at least you can't hear it, unlike all the music that's on the radio now. coughJUSTINBIEBERcough -_-
I agree with him 100000%
This is exactly what I've always thought of Taylor Swift. There's just no substance there.
She's a gimmick-ey money maker. Nothing more and nothing less.
Are some of you seriously saying Taylor is a good writer? :/
Everything she writes is basically the same thing. She's hardly deep in any sense of the word. And as for emotion... Look at any 12 year old's diary and you'll find the same shit.
Quit trying to defend mediocre talent.

She writes about everything from heartbreak to falling in love to her own mom. So she doesnt write about the same thing. Try writing a song thats as good as hers. Her songs are good because if they werent good she wouldnt have won album of the year top new female vocalist and the Crystal Milestone Award at the CMAS. She even has nominations at the WORLD MUSIC AWARDS. Look at her achievments and then start judging her.
THANK YOU <3
finally someone who realizes that SHE CAN'T SING LIVE.

Taylor swift sings better live than most "singers" at the moment

i wanna see Taylor sing better than Demi live or studio -_- Yeah but ur rit....she is better than some 'singers' and her songs aren't bad...some r pretty gud :)
Actually, I was making light of the absurdness of the whole thing. I'm a firm believer that singers should not act and actors should not sing (unless they're really damn talented). Taylor shouldn't have been given an acting career. Miley and Demi should stick to one or the other, and Selena should just act.
Clearly people here do not understand the concept of irony.
I don't even know who Chris Robinson is...

lol, calm your balls. and i do understand the concept of irony.
I'm actually very confused right now. People don't like Taylor because they say she cant sing well live. But he said in that article it isn't about how well you can sing, but the emotion behind the song. That exact;y describes Taylor. And I don't care how fucking great he is. He isn't God of Music. He doesn't get to decide what's good or whats bad. I'm not saying whether I'm a fan of Taylor or not, but this entire thing makes no sense what so ever.
i've heard several times that the only reason taylor swift got a recording contract is cause her dad paid the company big money for it, since she was already wealthy before all of this. idk if its true though..
*Shrugs* Chris Robinson was married to Kate Hudson.
Ok Chris Robinson show us where the mean girl touched you.
Dude just wants some press coverage.
Who th fuck does he think he is ??? She is anything but horible whtat kind of rude jerk are u.. no class what so ever..

ohh now i know who he is and he is pretty irrelevant and just wants publicity..
kinda agree...
cos i think her song writing is wayy better than her singing voice.
i really like her lyrics,
they do have a touch of ''emotionality''
You gotta give him props for having the balls to say that.
But, I think Taylor is amazing. :D

I totally agree with you.
I think celebrities are trying to much these days, to make money or to be known, i dont know. But i think if they wanna be taken seriously,they should stick to their best and what their most passionate about unless they can do everything really well cos i personally think its all publicty. Even with my most fave celebs i can admit that.

So, guys, who are the BEST singers for you ? Apparently, when I read the comments, it's not Miley, not Demi, not Selena and not Taylor. So who are the best ?
--------
There are other celebs in the world then the disney likes of demi,selena,miley and taylor.
There are people in the MUSIC industry who can actually sing aswell all before all this autotune crap happened.
1st, I'll give a cookie to whoever else knows who he is, 2nd, he's right. I'm not talking about Taylor, I'm talking about the music industry as a whole. Everything based on image now instead of talent, people are groomed to be turn into the perfect star (whatever that is), every song is computer edited nowadays. It's just sad, it's like the music industry took put the music part of it
Are some of you seriously saying Taylor is a good writer? :/
Everything she writes is basically the same thing. She's hardly deep in any sense of the word. And as for emotion... Look at any 12 year old's diary and you'll find the same shit.
Quit trying to defend mediocre talent.

She writes about everything from heartbreak to falling in love to her own mom. So she doesnt write about the same thing. Try writing a song thats as good as hers. Her songs are good because if they werent good she wouldnt have won album of the year top new female vocalist and the Crystal Milestone Award at the CMAS. She even has nominations at the WORLD MUSIC AWARDS. Look at her achievments and then start judging her.

Lol. It really is the same song again and again. Her music is derivative not original. The lack of depth or insights in her music is also way too obvious.
As for her achievements, Taylor Swift is not worth that much acclaim.
I love it when people use the "YOU try writing/singing..." blahblahblah argument. Did I ever say I was more talented than she is? Oh, ignorance.
100% true!!!
FINALLY someone who had guts to say the truth!! I mean, Kanye had a point but it wasn't the best way to deliver it so people disagreed to him automatically. But I think to this Black Crow member, people will agree xD
CHRIS ROBINSON NEEDS A FUCKING MEDAL. Man speaks the truth.
Computers may have taken over, but they sure as hell make catchy and infectious music.
Punk rock? Really? Do you even know what punk is? Not that shit.
I love how honest this dude is :D
Wish he mentioned Miley Cyrus too cuz that girl is AUTOTUNED -_____-;
And for those hating on Demi, I mean, I'm not that big of a fan anymore, but she does have talent live. I've heard her sing when she's live and she's better than Swift, Cyrus, and (just like with Demi, I'm not that big of a fan, but I'm still a fan so it does pain me to say this) Selena...WAAAAAAAAAY BETTER.
But great job Chris Robinson! You're honesty has slapped a bunch of people in the face because they're trend followers and obviously have no minds of their own x]
1,000pts.
Awesome! I've been saying this for years....

But that's all it is, catchy, no meaning to it. And then why are we praising artists when it's really the producers that make it catchy?

Okay I have a question, if the computer is what makes catchy music, then WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY is Taylor actually famous and not the computer who autotuned her??
umm how is selena way better? She sucks at singing and she does not even write her own music and so U think she's better than people who write their own music and can actually sing?
I DON'T KNOW WHO CHRIS IS BUT HE'S MY HERO!
He should have been saying this stuff to selena gomez not taylor swift
He is completly wrong. Taylor is very individual and emotional, but she is off key very often. He said the opposite... And I don't think she is horrible. Anyway, her Cds are great, even if she is not good live.
Well said, Chris. I've been saying that for quite some time now, but nobody was listening. This girl can't sing. And when I say she can't sing, I mean that she sounds way too generic and equally boring--and that is a fact. She totally lacks that individuality needed to sell records on real singing ability. If you saw her when she sang LIVE next to Stevie Nicks, then you'd know what I mean. She sells records because other female teens relate to her lyrics--and because she is so cute. But make no mistake; there is no emotion to her songs. Writing her own songs doesn't make her talented, folks. Her writing is pedestrian at best, by the way.
At least Britney Spears had a better execution in her songs. They were not only catchy but sexy. They totally conveyed emotion, despite her singing abilities (or lack thereof). I totally grooved to her music, though I never did so in public.
Carry Underwood is much more sophisticated than Taylor Swift in every sense of the word. I also love Kellie Pickler and Lila McCann. Have you ever listened to Lila's "Go Easy on Me" song? Beautiful!
Carry Underwood's music, for instance, is not only beautiful, but it is also vastly seducing--very well structured lyrically, vocally and musically. She invokes emotion in every song that she interprets. Now, that's what I call talent!
Any person can write their own material. Quality, however, can only be achieved by a few. Taylor Swift conveys the opposite of quality--inferiority. She isn't very good quite frankly. She is given way too much credit. Why is she famous then, you ask? Deep down you know answer.
At any rate, when Kanye West disrespected her at the VMA's, I knew that this would help her sell more records, and top the charts longer, out of sympathy. Everyone just seemed to show their support with their wallets and positive feedback, after that unfortunate incident took place. But the way Kanye did it is not the way to go about it either.
I only wish that someone more respected in the music industry would have come out and said what Chris Robinson so eloquently stated in that magazine interview. This guy is viewed as a stoner and a has-been nowadays, so there may be little stock in what he says to some people, though he clearly speaks words of truth. But celebrities are afraid of criticizing a cute girl for fear of being called "insensitive," or career reprisal.
fuck you all
all of you can smd, honestly
It kinda annoys me how everyone's like "oh the taylor fans are going to be like this, they're going to say that..." when none of her fans are saying "who is chris robinson, no one cares what he thinks!"
I'm a huge fan of Taylor and have been to one of her concerts. I don't really agree with him but everyone has their own opinion.
stop going on oceanup stalking celebs because that is fag. and uhhh, get a life of your own. yeah maybe.
taylor swift = very overrated
I'm actually very confused right now. People don't like Taylor because they say she cant sing well live. But he said in that article it isn't about how well you can sing, but the emotion behind the song. That exact;y describes Taylor. And I don't care how fucking great he is. He isn't God of Music. He doesn't get to decide what's good or whats bad. I'm not saying whether I'm a fan of Taylor or not, but this entire thing makes no sense what so ever.
-----------------------
yeah, people here don't understand nothing, SMH, it's a shame, but this site only have kids and stupid teenies, don't understand nothing about nothing, never mind, this site is a shit...
thank you OU for finally having a valid post! she really is horrible.
whover chris robinson is, is totally wrong. First of all i have no idea who he is, which makes taylor swift more famous then him. Second, taylor writes her own music and has gotten better at live singing. third, i loveee her <333
who da fck is chris robinson?
