 Slick production -- too slick November 11, 2008

The singing sounds highly processed, with telltale signs of the "auto-tune" effect, which, used in excess, makes the singer sound like a robot. To my ear, it sounds as if the producer ran every single song through auto-tune, and that ruins it for me.
I'd love to hear what Taylor Swift really sounds like, without the digital pitch correction.
Beautifully written lyrics, songs that feature catchy melodies, elegant vocals and just overall, well-done! November 19, 2008

Taylor Swift, the young Country vocalist/songwriter who has been topping the charts and a performer recognized for her talents and of course, most recently with the whole Joe Jonas breakup that seems to have become media fodder as of late.
But these type of experiences of love and breakups have been an instrumental part of Swift's life because she manages to take these good and bad experiences and like a painter who can grab the attention of the viewer through creativity, the same can be said about Taylor Swift's music.
I've listened to this album a good number of times already and I have to admit that I'm quite impressed by her ability to craft these lyrics and literally grab the listener because each track is almost told in a storytelling fashion.
In fact, there is not one song I didn't like. The theme of "Fearless" for the most part is about love and where Pink's "Funhouse" is a good example of an album that features emotions after a bitter breakup and thus her album is quite dark, Swift's "Fearless" is an album with tracks of those emotions that one would have when they are in love whether it's a teenage crush, in a relationship or after a breakup.
Swift's hit song "Love Story" is just an awesome track that showcases her songwriting skills but songs such as "Hey Stephen" is one of those songs that feature that storytelling style. In this song, Swift writes about a boy named Stephen that she has a crush on but other girls also like him. And it's almost like reading a page from Swift's diary about innocent feelings towards a person she likes.
Then there's a track like "Fifteen" in which she writes about starting the first day as a freshman in high school and getting in a relationship with someone at the young age at 15.
Or a song like "The Way I Loved You" which is another well-written song (which she co-wrote with John Rich) about the pain of love and loving someone but a love that is over and looking back at the relationship.
Then you have her musical side in which she performs the acoustic guitar driven track "Breathe" with another popular and talented young artist Colbie Caillat.
And then there is the track "Forever & Always" which Swift wrote about her then boyfriend Joe Jonas (Jonas Brothers) and with their somewhat breakup that has been featured recently in the media, it will be interesting to see what kind of song Swift will pen for that.
"Fearless" is just a fantastic album! Taylor Swift, she definitely stands out among the many young music artists out there and also, for the Country music genre, the ability to crossover and become a Country/Pop star in America.
Although we have seen someone like Carrie Underwood, Faith Evans and Shania Twain to do this, for someone as young as Taylor Swift to really come out so strong and able to attract listeners who typically may not have listened to Country music. Also, Swift is just not the average artist with good looks and a great voice, she's also a talented songwriter and musician. Definitely a true talent and you can only wonder how this young woman will develop over the years.
The songwriting skills and the creativity behind the lyrics and her ability to take those lyrics and sing them sweetly and convincingly in a storytelling fashion is what I have enjoyed about "Fearless". Beautifully written lyrics, songs that feature catchy melodies, elegant vocals and just overall, well-done!
Again, "Fearless" is simply, fantastic!
"Fearless" is an amazing sophmore effort November 11, 2008

If you are a fan of Taylor Swift, there will be no let down with her sophmore CD. From top to bottom this is a superb collection of songs. This should definitly be one of the top sellers of the year. Download, listen and enjoy!

Taylor Swift is what she is: she's going to sing very sweet, innocent songs about love, life, and whatever else it is that she experiences. This isn't going to make the jaded and critical among us very happy, since some can't see such innocence and happiness (for lack of a better term) as anything other than naivete. But if you're not that sort of person, there's a lot to like here. "Fearless" is a good opening track and something you'll probably hear on the radio for a while. The combination of "Love Song" and "White Horse" make for a good "fairy tale that eventually falls apart" story. "You Belong With Me" reminds me a lot of Avril Lavigne's "Sk8tr Boi" in a different genre, and "Breathe" is a sweet love/breakup song. I don't find the music to be overly produced, and the album has a good heart. I wouldn't call it one of the most spectacular albums I've ever heard, but I like Taylor's voice and I seem to be happier after I listen to it, and sometimes that's all you have to ask of your music. Worth your time.
