s/^Commercial //
The number one reason that a lot of country sucks is the remakes of already-established pop songs. Like "I Swear" by
All4One
or "I Do Cherish You" by
98 Degrees
(or whatever
boy band
does sing it -- they're all the same anyway) being re-recorded by someone with a voice from south of the
Mason-Dixon
and backed up by a
slide guitar
. Please. Whatever minimal listenability these songs had in the first place is gone quicker than a week's paycheck at a honky-tonk bar.
The number two reason why a lot of "new country" sucks is that it's trying to merge with mainstream rock/pop. Shania Twain singing alongside Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey, as they did on
VH1
's "
Battle of the Divas
"? Pass me two pina coladas and a few longneck bottles.
