itsmyparty	I wouldn't disagree with anything you've posted there GG - indeed I've commented strongly on NARAS's shameful snubbing of some of the multiple nominees this year in favour of gimmicky nonsense like the Cyrus-Swift duet. I just think that within the context of what Cyrus is - a 16 year old singer with music aimed at teenage girls - she's worked her socks off, tours constantly and produced three singles which sound as if they fit on the radio. I wasn't proclaiming her or her music as great, just that she's doing a good job of moving from her TV show into mainstream. There's far more deserving targets out there among "serious" musicians. As for the next Dusty - glad to hear that someone is still looking. I wonder how many have been missed these last 20-30 years since record companies have insisted that every singer has to have written their own material?
GG	Your missing my point completely. I don't have anything against her. I come from a music business that no longer exists. I was trained in a record business that no longer exists. The record business that the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and U2 came from. All of whom would have been dropped by their labels early on in todays business. Great acts need to be nurtured. Using television to break music acts creates unsustainable short term acts. I'm not commenting on a person enjoying that music or not. I'm glad you enjoy whatever turns you on. I'm commenting that there is no filter, there is no quality. Taylor Swifts SNL showcase was the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen on network television in the States, and I know what I'm talking about. Many many agree. Who manages her to let that happen? To be totally exposed for what she is, without studio wizardry (which is what you hear when "Unwinding")....Youtube it! Then NARAS will give 3 minutes to a ne'er-do-well mock up duo like Cyrus-Swift on the Grammy's live broadcast (clearly to attract the Disney audience for ratings) and give literally 15-20 seconds to recognize the Producer Grammy for the people like me that allow them to exist. It's really as nuts as it gets. I tell it like it is. Everyone knows this. I'm looking for the next Dusty, not the next Miley.... and its costing me plenty to stick to my guns.
BR	I own two of her albums - I like listening to stuff like Taylor Swift and Bethany Dillon when unwinding. Miley Cyrus makes that sort of music. What is wrong with that ? She is alot more credible that the High School Musical stuff. To be fair I would listen to Miley Cyrus before Lady Ga Ga and ilk any day of the week. Why do dislike her so much ? Of course she is manufactured - but she has a decent voice and a great band plus some good songs.
GG	Good pop? Good God! See, people honestly believing that is why we're in the situation were all facing. Have you seen the Grammy hack up? Believable, yes....to my 6 year old niece. She'll be in Branson in 18 months tops!
itsmyparty	her singles have been crossing over and doing well in the UK irrespective of the TV show which has had a much smaller impact here. At the moment she's doing good pop and coming across as a believable, hard working young pop star. More power to her elbow.
