Anyways, the point of this whole post was to say this ...

Debbie Harry >>>>> Taylor Swift

And that's that.

You can add Connie Francis, Billie Holiday, Terri Nunn, Pat Benatar, Linda Ronstadt, Ann Wilson, Carrie Underwood, Whitney Houston, Kate Bush, Chrissy Hyndes, Stevie Nicks, Donna Summer, Celine Dion, Laura Branigan, Amie Mann, and a slew of others on that list where they're better than Taylor Swift.

Talyor Swift, in a nutshell, sucks!

FYI, Donna Summer and Amie Mann are both from Boston. Yes, we always support our local artists.

Amie Mann is a critics’ favorite.

And the lovely, versatile Linda rode the country rock train to stardom. I watched interviews with Jackson Browne and the late JD Souther, and both complained that she was a notorious song stealer.

Linda had soul and good pipes, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp9G0zkorio

Linda could rock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flLoj5qxURw

Notice how Taylor Swift is no longer in the conversation.

As for Linda, her cover of Buddy Holly's "It's So Easy" is actually better than the legend's original.

And Buddy Holly is the only thing that my dad and I ever had in common. Bud was the original, true genius of Rock n Roll.

Male/Female a lot of covers are better than the original. We could play, but we knew our short comings. We were B talent. A talent would have had 1-2 hits with the same songs. At least one hit wonder type stuff. Lead singer guitarists voice was too unique. Not bad, but sounded weird.

I'd love to share, but anyone on this site would immediately be able to know who I am. Kind of pisses me off because I'm proud of the work, but I don't need the drama from ass hole lurkers. I trust most regulars here.

Here's my ex-GF's doppelganger, Alanis Morissette's "Uninvited" from the 'City of Angels' soundtrack:

Once again, completely blowing away anything Taylor Swift ever did in her life.

Agree. I don't like layered vocals though. Doing your own backing track is not possible live. I'm a live guy. So that song is impossible live to sound similar.

With the right producer anyone on patnet with any musicianship could record an album. Will it sell, who the hell knows, but you could make it sound good if you have the $$$$ and impress people.
