Which is why you constantly attempting to use songwriting as her one trick that keeps her afloat never holds any weight. If Rihanna sucks, so does she. With a half Rihanna username I would certainly imagine that you have seen enough Rihanna performances to acknowledge that at the very least she does posses vocal talent. Even if she is inconsistent. She is a great songwriter, that's obvious, you just can't admit it because you don't like her. Which is fine but Taylor connects with people because of dat and she's a great melody maker because she can play alot of instruments, her voice is pleasant to people, that's it. She isn't a vocalist but people love her tone. If they didn't, she wouldn't be so consumed. Idg why her success upset you so much? Is it really that serious? Y'all stan people like ava Kim Petra's and Katy etc but Taylor is the only white girl that gets crap for nothing? If I wanted to see a dope dance choreo show or a power vocalist then I obviously ain't going to Taylor but she fits a different slot for a nice day chillin. As a black woman, I don't see who this girl is hurting? She's harmless af and has never said crap about the community like other we seem to stan on here

queenoftheclouds Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 5 hours ago, Big Bad Wolf said: No. Just look at Rihanna and how people bash her for being “talentless”, but others have literally PRAISED someone like Selena Gomez for having a “good career despite no talent” or whatever + they eat up her whisper vocals like no tomorrow too. But Rihanna gets dragged for everything under the sun even though her discography is full of literal classics. That's true. Rihanna is a good singer. She is no Whitney but it's okay. Not everyone has to be a vocalist.
FSXP Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Can a Black artist get away with mediocre vocals and be successful and well-liked? Yes. Will they be as successful as Taylor Swift? No.
airplane Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) 8 hours ago, Holiest Dreams said: None of you that are claiming this actually believe it Taylor’s voice is extremely bland and mediocre and she can’t sing AT ALL which is why 99% of her current tour is lip-synced and she hasn’t delivered a highly praised vocal performance in a century (since she debuted). This is just facts and i am in no way being biased. She has absolutely nothing going for her voice. She excels in the songwriting department though so there’s that! Going to a Taylor concert is like listening to Spotify loudly because the playback encapsulates her horrendous “vocals”. Swifties under this thread lack self awareness. Your fave is a terrible singer with ZERO vocal talent. She’s the bottom of the barrel in that department. Rihanna on the other hand, has more hits than misses. Edited April 21, 2023 by airplane
Blue. Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 You can stay pressed because nobody Stan’s Taylor as a vocalist, people stan her as a lyrical and melodic mastermind, this is like someone asking Can a x artist get away with less than mediocre lyrics like Beyoncé just because she sings “That's that thick, that's that real **** that's that jelly, baby, champagne and cherry, baby that's that thick” in her last album.
Stankonia Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 The fact that every single black woman that was named in this thread is much better at singing that Taylor Swift.
LoveInStereo Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Jhene Aiko doesn’t have a show-stopping voice but that’s not what people go to her for. I don’t get this thread. Irrespective of race, lots of well-written contemporary music is sung by people who are technically meh singers with a likeable & distinct persona & vocal tone. The era of virtuosic powerhouse vocals is gone

Sex with Rih Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 All the black female artists named here sing way better than Taylor so y'all aren't helping anyone.
Sex with Rih Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 I don't know why swifties are bringing up writing as if the OP didn't say ' Vocals'- which Taylor lacks.
Robburro Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 well y'all praise normani and girl can't hold a note

Keeandga Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Bringing up Rihanna & Normani are all much more capable vocalist than Taylor, so it doesn’t make sense to bring them up.

I’ll find you 100 videos of Taylor. Janet has a soft voice naturally which does not mean she’s vocally unskilled. Anyone that has actual vocal knowledge would tell you she’s 100x the vocalist Taylor is let’s not
