As the MTV Video Music Award or VMA’s was being aired, rapper/singer Kanye West stormed the stage and grabbed the microphone from Taylor while she was giving her acceptance speech. She had just been declared the winner for the Best Female Video award for the song ‘you belong to me’. West claimed that the song ‘Single Ladies’ by Beyonce which was nominated in the same category was among the best videos ever. This caused the audience to react negatively to this occurrence.

Scott Borchetta who is the Chief Executive Officer of Big Machine records which manages Taylor Swift spoke in support of the country star saying she deserved to win the award. He went on to discredit allegations that Taylor Swift’s performance with Steve Nicks at the Grammys was solid despite claims from certain quarters that it was off-key. “She is probable not the most technical singer, however she could be the most emotional singer and it seems as if people do not want much more than a singer who has only technical skills”. Borchetta said this to a reporter from the Tennessean. He further told the Associated Press “this isn’t American Idol. There is no competition for the person with the highest notes. It is all about genuine artistry, good writing and communication. This is not about perfectly technical performances”

The critics could be missing a great voice of this generation which is right there in front of their eyes. They could simply be jealous or are unable to comprehend this”, Borchetta added.  “Though it is obvious that the people she converses with have a certain bond. There is nobody who is perfect. It was probably not the best performance however it could well have been the greatest night.” In reference to the Album of the Year award for ‘Fearless’.

When all is said and done Taylor Swift’s voice while singing is very emotional and personal. If you take time to listen keenly to her albums, it is similar to reading an intriguing true life diary.  This is the manner in which singers who are successful like Taylor Swift can engage the souls of their fans despite the complications of the music industry.
