I've listened to all or parts of a number of Jess Penner's songs.

She's OK and if it speaks to you that's fantastic. I suppose I can see how she might be getting this material placed in ads and TV shows where it would be more background atmosphere. But it's not hit music and it doesn't compare to Taylor Swift at all in that department.

You don't hear where these songs are different from something like "You Belong With Me" ? I mean, I'd probably choose Penner to listen to ahead of Swift if those were the only two options but it's pretty obvious why Swift is on the radio.
