Great response!!
In reference to the orig article:
"She's not taking a Louisville Slugger to anyone's car, à la Carrie Underwood."
uh...has the writer HEARD kerosene or gunpowder and lead? They are character songs, just like BHC, and though the writer probably is making the above statement in tongue and cheek, I think it's stupid.
And since when is Only Prettier about ex-boyfriends? It's about other girls...
Geez, and she's won 1 grammy and the writer makes a huge deal of it. Carrie has won the same award 3 times, one of which she cowrote. Miranda did not write THTBM.
"She once told me that she doesn't like to write the standard mushy love songs that often seem to dominate radio"
She's not the only one, Carrie clearly doesn't write mushy love songs. (Along with several others)
Also don't care for the dig at Jason Aldean in his choice of Kelly Clarkson. Sure, Kelly's in Pop, but she's a very versatile artist with the chops for many genres. I don't think Jason's choice to sing with her is a ploy to get a pop audience at all.
Geez, I really like Miranda, this article is ridiculous.
