Someone in comparing Patsy Cline to today's female country singers posted that
"She was a decent looking woman, but she was a big gal and not real glamorous,"
while someone else stated today's singers "could work as models if their
singing career didn't work out."
This doesn't surprise me one bit. I believe Johnny Duncan saw this coming years
ago when he sang, "She Can Put Her Shoes Under My Bed (Anytime)"

Lots of the new country gal singers are glamorous. That's a
fact. But some of them are going in directions that are disturbing to
me.
Sitll, the old timer girl singers are unforgettable. They
might not have had be glamor of the current crop, but they could sure
belt those songs out. And they developed a very loyal following.
And, as far as I've been able to determine, not a one of them ever
betrayed their fans.

The old timers looked good even in the dark and sounded great all the time,
modern singers in the dark have nothing going for them at all.

I vote for Mandy Barnett.

She sounds quite a bit like Patsy, and she is one hell of a fox, to
boot.

For the ones who prefer the full-figured gals, I opt for Trisha
Yearwood. She's got charm.

To wit: Kitty Wells.

There she sat, patiently, on the bench, at the train station.
Her band had forgotten her! She knew they would come back, or send
for her. She knew she wasn't betrayed. Shit happens!

Can you imagine what some of these new gals would do in a case
like that? I can't mention any names, but just going by the
generation we're in, and the primadonna attitudes I've picked up on
while watching CMT and even the Opry.
I could go on..but you get the idea..And there was one video I
saw on CMT that turned me completely off of one currently popular
female singer. And no; I am not going to mention her name, or the
nature of the video.

That was me, fellas, that made both of those comments; Patsy wasn't
glamorous and most the signers now days look like models. My point was
that singing ability doesn't seem to be the most important requirement
for a woman singer these days! Other than Mandy Barnet, most of the new
women are just looks. Mandy, BTW, has both.

It's called "music video." Singing nicely on a record doesn't mean
diddly, there has to be a video to go with it, a 'gimmick', e.g., a
special line dance or club tie-in, etc.

The 'throw it up against the wall and see if it sells' of a few decades
ago, wherein music soared or sank pretty much on its merits, is now
called 'merchandising', and requires months of planning and promotion.

The music is incidental, a 'hot' or controversial video is what the
labels are really after. The shelf life of such 'talent' is measured in
days and months, to pick names at random, Aaron Tippin, Neal McCoy,
can't imagine that in thirty years folks will be speaking as kindly of
their music as we do of Carl Butler & Pearl.
