[quote=BIG JIM MERRILEES] It's not "suckers" who keep buying Taylor Swift albums...it's fans. Taylor Swift is what they genuinely like, like it or not.
If you took three times the promotion money spent on Taylor, and split it up equally between me and you and Mike, right now in 2010...Taylor Swift would still outsell the three of us. People keep buying her because they keep liking her. Yes if you like something you like it and it's great to you. I work with kids here who very gifted and they range from 10 - 16 I have a Taylor Swift "freak" on my hands and last weak when i played her the Indigo Girls for the first time she was literally stunned at how far better they were then Taylor in every single possible regard imaginable accept records sales. So kids especially ones who are open minded and musically inclined can KNOW the difference. No exposure to such music whatsoever, it's not there fault. ------- Outselling US yes I agree, but first lets take away one HUGE factor, NO VISUAL EXPOSURE. No pics no TV..OR Taylor has too do my song and they need to promote it has they would hers. Now she's headed to the movies why? Cause she's an actress? Do you really truly believe that "image & constant exposure has nothing to do with sales in this world? This is not an attempt to take anything away from Taylor Swift at all, but to think that we don't buy as advertised as a Country is plain insane The persons with more MONEY and juice WINS plain and simple. And nobody in the music industry CARES about what anyone of us think at ALL as we are OLD lol... That's why these threads are pretty senseless. Again put "YES" on the radio and they had 2 HUGE HITS? WHY?????? Put Instrumentals on the radio and they were HUGE hits WHY???? Jazz & diverse blends of music HITS why???? EXPOSURE! then the bonus of being great music by anyone and every ones standards, the key is " Like it it or Not"
