Fearless by Taylor Swift
The title makes you expect an anthem for girls about standing out in the crowd fearlessly, or something along those lines. Unfortunately, it's nothing along those lines. It's talking about being fearlessly in-love.
You'd expect for a sophomore album you'd find Swift branching out past sugar-pop-fluff, but "Fearless" sounds terribly a lot like "Taylor Swift".
Don't get me wrong, the music is great, really danceable, something to listen to at anytime.
But, while "Fearless", "Love Story", "Hey Stephen", "White Horse", "You Belong With Me", "Breath", "Tell Me Why", "You're Not Sorry", "The Way I Loved You" and "Forever and Always" (the majority of this "country" album) is about dating, boys, and falling in and out of love, I'm disappointed to say only three songs stand out to me:
"Fifteen":This song is about the ups and downs and ins and outs of teenage life and high school life. It's a song any teen can relate to. Although some parents may be wary of some of the content of this song, since it talks of her best friend having sex (when Abigail gave everything she had-to a boy-who changed his mind)
"The Best Day":While there's no hidden truth or deep message, the song is a beautifully written song about the love of a mother, that anyone can relate to.
"Change":This track is the definite power anthem of the album. While most of the tracks on this album are sugary-fluff love-and-hate songs, this one has some good meat to it.
It's a basically fine album, but for those of you who steer clear of Swift because of her label "country", there's no need. She's hardly anymore country than Miley Cyrus.
And for those of you who are wary because you enjoy real country, don't waste your money. She's maybe (possibly) considered country-fluff. She's a pretty face with an alright voice and a good sound on the guitar, but she seems to lack the deep meaning and life lessons that can be found amongst other artists.

Okay, i get what your saying and i agree in someways but...
how can you say you don't like her as a person? you don't even like her, would you like me to judge you when i don't even know anything about you personally? i bet the answer is no because if i were to judge you at this moment i'd probably think you need to pull your head from the sand because you are coming across as kinda a cow. that is all.
