    Imo her album is actually a masterpiece

    And it's not like a lot of modern pop music either (which is what I love about it). Very rock influenced with some acoustic stuff thrown in

    Yes, I second Heff's statement about Olivia Rodrigo's talent, although I am not very familiar with her work.
    She has a sweet voice and she knows how to sing musically and with much feeling.
    I'm happy for her that she won.

    Edit: was just listening to her sing and she is really talented. Very expressive and emotional even.

    They recently did a special about her on Disney+, it was awesome and she seems like such a genuine person

    Plus they did a bunch of reimagined versions of the songs from the album on it and I'm hoping they'll be uploaded to Spotify and the like cause they were wonderful

    I've heard her via karaoke, can't really judge but I want to like her because the criticism she gets is very similar to some other singers who preceded her in terms of where she stands in the media and music industry..


    Also, in 2018 I made an IMDB Fancast with Olivia as Piper McLean (Camp Half-Blood saga by Rick Riordan), this was before she got famous.

    A group of friends/acquantaintances and I sang "driver's license" when we had karaoke night at somebody's place and then I listened to the song separately.
    Id heard that it was Olivia's big break, but I hadn't checked her out before we did karaoke.

    I also sympathize because she seems to be what Taylor was around 2008-2012, but I reiterate that I don't really see any of them as deities, but I am happy to laugh at myself and take jokes in good fun - and be friends with those with different taste.
    :p

    I only keep up actively with one person's new music and activity-

    And I can't really accuse anyone of that- because a lot of music over time repeats thematic content

    Taylor isn't the first artist to write about any of the many the subjects she has tackled

    George Harrison was sued and lost for alledgedly plagiarizing "He's So Fine" by The Chiffons in his own song "My Sweet Lord."

    I don't think George did it intentionally, but the melodic and rhythmic similarities are strikingly similar.

    It's uncanny really as Harrison claimed, and I believe him, to have never heard "He's So Fine."

    Yeah well I’m talking more about instrumentally



    and



    Are basically the same :p

    but I’m pretty sure the correct musical term is “sampling” and Taylor actually has a songwriting credit on the first song, I’m kinda just exaggerating to poke some fun at it :p

    Still on the job at the moment-

    But I'll play devil's advocate and say that instrumentally, Taylor's song "Jump Then Fall" from Fearless sounds instrumentally similar to Avril Lavigne's "Complicated"

    Some of that is inevitable in the creative industries- I'm not about to unleash the Swiftie Twitter mob or anything

    John Lennon was sued and lost over stealing a line for his Beatles tune Come Together "Here Come Old Flat Top, Come Groovin' Up Slowly" from Chuck Berry's tune You Can't Catch Me.

    I believe it was the record company/rights holders that sued Lennon and not Berry personally.

    As part of his settlement, John had to record the Rock and Roll album which covered songs owned by the prosecution so as to generate royalties for their publishing company.

    No wonder John retired for 5 years after that nonsense.

    Perhaps the most absurd case I've heard of was when John Fogerty was taken to court over doing the songs that he himself wrote for CCR!
    Wrote them tunes all by himself. Like, he was the sole composer and was sued for playing his own songs!!!

    Thanks for letting me borrow this GIF my friend. My thoughts on the Fogerty case.
    And that concludes the evening awards ceremony.

    Congrats to our winners Olivia Rodrigo for Best Pop Vocal, Nat King Cole on Lead Vox and the upset win to Domenico Scarlatti on the Harpsichord.

    Good night!

    You might have to give it some time. I put in 20 internship apps in October and eventually did five interviews, the last in February. Now my application count is 35-40 but I don't have any news on any of the ~10 that I haven't gotten a rejection letter from yet.
