I don't think I've ever posted about Laura Bell Bundy on the boards before, so I don't know why I was categorically accused of hating her.
And as someone who actually listens to country music, I disagree that she is somehow inherently better than Taylor Swift just because she sings about alcohol and sex. Most of country music is about alcohol and sex; that doesn't make her anything special, and Gretchen Wilson did it better.
When I hear her song on the radio, it sounds like a parody of country music, as if a composer who doesn't really know country music was told to write country songs and came up with this. I know she says she's "always" wanted to do this, but there's something wrong when an American Idol winner's music sounds more authentic than hers does.
