is anyone bothered by the "singing" of taylor swift?

i was listening to her the other day and was dumbfounded how this girl ever got a record contract. is it because she is 17 and pretty, or is it something else? i had to turn the station it sounded so horrible. does anyone else out there feel the same way as i do or am i a minority on this?

Update:

oh i live in nashville so yes people i do know something about country music

Update 2:

trekker: i agree, it all has to do with a look that the promoters are wanting to put on covers and in magazines.

Update 3:

this is going to be a close call, most have some good answers

Update 4:

tex: i take it that you don't like the girl, seeing as how you change the channel when she comes on?

    The ones above are right it is all about the money. She is a good songwriter but she can not sing. And believe me I do know what country is I have listened to it all my life! I grew up on Willie, Waylon & Johnny. So the new trend of country is not really country. It is all about looks and the money because if you look good you will bring in the money!!!

    Taylor quick of direction!!! She is honestly proficient and writes her own songs. Justin Bieber is purely going to bathe away like many different pop singers of our time. I went to Taylor quick's live performance "Fearless" and he or she changed into staggering! It feels like she is extremely appreciative of her repute and fortune and honestly enjoys singing. Justin Bieber is over-edited pop song meaning no longer some thing. Taylor quick! :)

    I think they saw $$$$$$, she appeals to the younger side of the "Country" music. I am not bothered ny her, if i had a 12 year old daughter, I would buy Taylors CD for her..there' s alot worse for kids to listen too.

    I perfer real Country music though.

    I don't think she's that bad, and I think the main reason she probably got a contract is because she writes all her own songs, which is something most people don't do anymore. The only thing that really bothers me about her is that she never says "everything", she says "everythin'".... that's annoying. lol.

    I have to agree. I guess I don't mind her songs, but I think it's her voice that i don't like. I think she a good songwriter, but her voice does nothing for me.

    I like "tear drops on my guitar" and "our song" but "just another picture to burn is pretty bad" and those are the songs of hers that I know of.

    I respect your opinion, but I disagree. I like Taylor Swift's songs.

    It's all about looks. She isn't what "REAL" Country Music is about.

    I don't care for her music. It doesn't sound country to me. 2D
