KatyPrismSpirit Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) I'd say the production department truly elevated the re-recorded version of Fearless compared to the original version. It's also the re-recording with the best vocal performance from Taylor so far. Her matured vocals uplift the songs a lot as well. Bye Bye Baby is also one of her best vault tracks. Do you agree it's Taylor's best re-recording so far? Edited July 24 by KatyPrismSpirit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) None of the re-recordings are actually good if we're being honest here. The OG's will always be superior idc Edited July 24 by Josh 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonedIvy Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Hmm. That vault is REALLY weak, like very much the weakest of the 4 TVs that are out. But if you're strictly talking improvements to the original tracklist then I would probably agree with you. It had a lot more room for vocal and production improvements than Speak Now, Red, and 1989 did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardcaptor Sakura Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I would say yeah, because it gives new vocal, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMRA Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I kinda do. Not my favorite album of hers but the re-recording really elevated it. My fav vault remains Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatyPrismSpirit Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 Just now, Josh said: None of the re-recordings are actually good if we're being honest here. The OG's will always be superior idc I'd make the argument that only 1989 (Taylor's Version) was severely botched compared to the original. During Fearless OG Taylor wasnt as skilled as a vocalist as she is now so I do definitely think the re-recorded songs sound elevated compared to the OG. Same goes for a lot of songs on Red TV (minus the ones Elvira produced) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OG's will always be superior idc I think none of the rerecordings are bad if we're being honest here. The pop singles lost a bit of their aura, but most of the album cuts were elevated by less compressed production and stronger vocal performances. I understand why people might prefer the OG's but I'm also not a fan of the narrative that the TV's are bad, when it's really just the biggest singles* that tend to suffer a downgrade. *(Not even applicable to the country singles mind you — Back to December, Mean, Begin Again, and Love Story are perfect for example.)

Fearless TV is the best improvement compared to the OG, but the vault is really lackluster. Best vault is Red TV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for a lot of songs on Red TV (minus the ones Elvira produced) And even on 1989 TV there's several songs that are either just as good (Clean, You Are In Love, This Love) or straight up improved (Out Of The Woods, Wonderland, I Know Places). But the Style botch is kinda unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kexin Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 it kinda does have the best vaults + reflection on how mature she really sounded for this record. This re-recording benefitted from all the hype in being the first one & elevating what the original lacked in depth both musically and spiritually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Reader Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I agree that it has the best improvements in regards to the Original, but the vault is the weakest unfortunately (even though I love all the songs). Red is just a classic though, I fear In the end, the best re-record will end up being Debut anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Aurora Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I mean, some of the songs sound better than the original recording. 1989 is probably the worst TV recording except I Wish You Would where her voice sounds so much better on that track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellem Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) I feel the same way about the production and vocal improvements. A serious upgrade over the original album. I haven't heard Speak Now TV but the rest have been hit or miss for sure Edited July 24 by tellem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffy Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 It would've been better if Nathan Chapman was able to come back as producer. He and Taylor were magic together. Fearless, Love Story, Tell Me Why, and You're Not Sorry OG are superior to the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aotwbys Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Yes I think Fearless TV wins by default though because that country man botched Red, Speak Now, and 1989 () so badly Christopher Rowe can never be trusted with her catalog again but its cute he tried But the OGs are still the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawx23 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Fearless TV production sounded repetitive to me tbh. I'd go with Speak Now followed by Red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
