Effeminate Men of Country
Get'sum Sack
cutter ballads from the likes of such "hearthrobs" as Bryan White, Mark
Wills, and just about every assorted male artist played today. Gone are
the days of newcomers like Alan Jackson, Tim Mcgraw, Travis Tritt; men
who sing in a voice higher than a castrated 10 year old. Even John
Micahel Montgomery has turned queer, his last 2 albums were the epitome
of factory produced enema residue, with such hit singles as "Friends"
and "I Get to Come Home to You". Jesus, these guys are steering country
music out of Nashville and into Castro! I see a video of Bryan White
jumping on a trampoline on CMT and I just about want take a bat to the
t.v. As far as I'm concerned, there are only 5 or 6 real bona fide male
stars who have not sold out their country roots. No wonder sales for
female stars like Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks are through the
roof, people want to hear soothing soprano songs from Faith Hill, not
some big soft "guy" like Chris Brock or whatever his name is. Would be
interested in your alls opinion.
The only "REAL" male stars
-George Strait
-Garth Brooks (the album with the eye on it sucked though)
-Tim McGraw (enough with the duets already, we know your wife is hot)
-Travis Tritt (unbelievable hes not a bigger star)
-Alan Jackson (the cream of the crop)
-Tracy Lawrence (despite the name)

You are so right. I am so glad someone else sees it the way I do.

sound the same) but overall, i disagree with your main point. there are
plenty of talented male newcomers out there. they have strong vocal
abilities but because they are a bit different, they go unnoticed. that
doesn't mean they are not there. here are a few that i know of off hand:
chris cummings--young canadian, but sounds like a stetson wearing texan
brad hawkins--looks tough but sings great
brady seals--former little texas keyboardist, powerful voice

I aint fallin in that trap. No sir. But these here feminine singers, you might
be asking the wrong question you know. They look dum and they knows it. They
hate to sing same old stupit songs over and over.
So why do they? Aint them making the rules. So why critocize them guys?
You should critocize them people that picks songs. I aint saying who. No way. I

they are "light in the loafers"? That's
what I gather the person who started this
thread is trying to say. I agree that there
is way too much sap coming out of the
radio, but would hardly call someone
"effeminate" based on their song selection. And who cares anyway?
I think alot of us know the difference
between a "pre-fab" tear-jerker song,
and one that is written from the heart
(like "Go Rest High On That Mountain"
or "Pretty Little Adrianna").

The latter, although he is taking a turn toward the ballads.
Most of his ballads still maintain some of the male pride.
"For You I Will" was a wonderful song in which he says that he
would keep the normal outward appearance except for a single
woman. Same with "Her." Both are manly songs, but they
admit that one woman can crack it all. Hey, I can relate to
them.

lost a lot of weight. Don't know his status with a new record or whatever,
but since he got married, his appearance has really changed. He gets any
thinner, you're gonna move him into the girly guy category. BTW, Bryan White
is the wussiest singer now. Don't yell at me for saying this, I used to be a
fan club member, but his latest songs have all been soooo whiiiiiiiiiiiny.

If you're talking Chad Brock, you might want to reconsider your opinion.
Chad is huge. He's a former World Wrestling Federation pro wrestler, and
former football star. He could kick your butt way past your eyelids.
Shane Minor might also be a newcomer you'd like, since he's filled with
testosterone. And Montgomery Gentry call their music: Wump Ass Music." So
that should tell you something.

Ricky Van Shelton once told me that he loved singing the uptempo songs, but
it was the wimpy ballads that sold albums. And since that was how he made
his living, he would sing wimpy ballads whenever he could. And I'd hardly
call Ricky effeminate. Just practical.

Tim McGraw? You have been complaining about male stars that record
over-sensitive crap, and then you turn around and praise Tim? Isn't that a bit
of a double standard? C'mon... "One Of These Days," "Please Remember Me," and
"Don't Take The Girl?" That is the epitome of hyper-sensitive cookie-cutter
that has been on the radio.
>-Travis Tritt (unbelievable hes not a bigger star)
It's not unbelievable... he's too cutting edge... the guy records great
material, with amazing emotion, but the material is too cutting edge for modern
country radio. He's an artist, and there's only so much room for true art on
the radio today.
>-Alan Jackson (the cream of the crop)
"I'll Go On Loving You" was just about the cream of the crap. Other than that,
however, I would agree... Alan Jackson is one of the best on the radio right
now.
>-Tracy Lawrence (despite the name)
Very talented vocalist. His little private incident turned public kinda shot
him down for much airplay anymore, unfortunately.
Now, if you wanna hear a killer vocalist, picker, and songwriter, that sings
great material, you should check out Brad Paisley. That guy is such a breath
of fresh air.

Okay, I'll jump on the bandwagon now since I know I'm not alone- *Why*
is this song/video a nomination for Video of the Year or any other
award? It's sooo boring. All he does is talk and sing "I'll Go On
Loving You" over and over. Please note the lyrics to the chorus, if you
will-
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loooooving you...
Just wondering- and happy to hear that I'm not the only one in the whole
wide world who just didn't "get" this song as being so terrific.
Now, "Little Man" on the other hand is one of his newer songs I like...

A little clarification. NOT one of Alan's weakest.....hands down the worst
thing he's ever released. It wasn't just "weak" it was PITIFUL. The entire CD
wasn't much better. He's the best thing to happen to Country Music since Merle
Haggard, BUT obviously, with his "personal problems", his head was up his a**
with this last cd. Hopefully, he can straighten out his family life, and
rebound from this lackluster effort. He's just too good to be putting out crap
like this. I'm betting he will. If not, maybe he should just run away with
Faith Hill, and get it over with!!!!!!!! :):):)

That would be correct, Patsi... but I would go farther than to say it was "one
of his weakest releases." Having followed Alan since "Blue Blooded Woman," I
feel confident in saying that "I'll Go On Loving You" is, bar none, his weakest
single ever.

Uggh!!! What is the deal with his new song? That first line in "You're Still
Beautiful To Me" is worse than any dental hygenist scraping the back of my
teeth with that metal hook (hey, I had to come up with something different than
"Nails on a chalkboard"). He strains and screams so badly on that note, it

His first album was so great, and even his second album was pretty good. I
ended up selling back his "The Right Place" album, and I know for a fact that I
will not be investing in his new album.

I don't understand how when McGraw does sensitive ballads, you call them
hyper-sensitive cookie cutter crap. But when Travis does the same kind of
material, they show great emotion. It's a perfect example of how people
can use different criteria for their favorites than they use for everyone
else. I'm sure you'd love "Please Remember Me" if it had been sung by
Travis.
Travis is far from being too cutting edge for radio. You forget he's had a
ton of radio hits. And he's had tons of success. It would be nice,
though, if he would develope a third style besides southern rock and
sensitive ballad. Most major league baseball pitchers have a few more
options in their repertoire.

Is it in the category for Song of the Year? No. So the criteria has
nothing to do with the song. It has to do with the video, which was quite

Isn't it amusing when people post about something they know *nothing* about?
It seems Trace Adkins was left off the deep voice list. And Collin Raye was
left off the pre-pubescent list.
EllieArroway
but I remembered the song, even though I didn't know who sang it. When
"Someone Else's Star" came out, I bought his tape and saw that he also sang
"Eugene You Genius" and was instantly hooked. I joined the fan club, just
before it was overrun by screaming little airheads. I still have his first
two albums, but after hearing "The Right Place" or whatever that piece of
crap was called, I started to wonder about him. I wrote it off to temporary
insanity. Then along came "Bad Day to Let You Go" and I let my fan club
membership expire. I thought maybe he was going to return to his original
style with "The Tree of Hearts" but he has just gotten worse. His
girlfriend/fiance/bimbo can't seem to find clothes that aren't slit to
mid-butt. "You're Still Beautiful To Me" makes me want to gag. He shrieks it
out like he's trying to be Bryan Adams, and it sounds like a cat with its
tail in the vacuum cleaner. He screechs so much I can barely understand the
words. Sad to see so someone who looked so promising turn into this kind of
crap :(

consider a very warped opinion about love. It is by far the greatest
emotion known to man and I would say one's happiness depends on the
ability to recognize this emotion and STAY, not run. Now I guess I

obviously liked the song, it was his highest debuting single ever &
made it to #3 and the CD (which I personally thought was on of his
best, although granted different from the others, again probably for
obvious reasons) went platinum in less than 30 days. Alan has a strong
enough fan base he could probably make the top 20 singing the phone
book, so I hardly think the song did any real damage to his career.
By the way, his next CD will be all cover songs of his favorites he
used to sing back in his bar days. Don't know if they'll be anymore
recitations, but I do know he's a big Conway fan, so who knows.

Alan himself has said it was pitched to him by the President of his record
label. The only reason they released it as the first single was they
believed it would have a better chance of success by releasing it before
the rest of the album was available to radio stations. Because I'm sure
they would have prefered other songs.

Actually, it didn't debut at #3, but rather it peaked at #3. Quite a big
difference if you ask me. Unlike most of Alan's hits, it didn't go to #1.

That's either a very clever or very silly response; I'm not sure
which. The point is if a pitcher only has two pitches to throw,
batters are going to take advantage of that rather quickly.
I wont comment on Travis, but the thing about Tim McGraw I find
somewhat annoying is that plaintive delivery of his. If you listen
to "It's Your Love" and "Please Remember Me," you'll find it's the
same emotional state, even though one song's about affirmation of
love and the other's about loss. It reminds me of a puppy dog that
got locked out in the rain.

Ok, I kind of liked this song (ok, more the video than the song...just

Alan Jackson's songs, how long is it going to be before we hear this song as
a commercial for a car? I can't even listen to the song anymore without
hearing this:
"Ill go on driving you...

I have always liked Alan Jackson, and when IGOLY came out, my first thought was
that it was some publicity stunt to help get them through the fallout of the
separation/rumors,etc. OR that it was done
to help Alan somehow get back into Denise's good graces (a public "apology" or
reaffirmation, of sorts). Since it was such a departure for AJ, I couldn't
help but feel "Gee this is more than I really wanted to know about his personal
life..." and the same thing goes for Bryan White. I watched Bryan for the
better part of a year on tour with Vince and he really matured and grew in his
live show. He seemed to be off to a great start, but this has to be one of the
worst vocals I have ever heard, and it is waaaayyy more information than I
really need about him and Erika Page. However, this weeks People carries a
review of the album which indicates that this new album presents a newer,
"tougher" Bryan... so hopefully the rest of his album is better. I'm not ready
to give up on him just yet.

No... if Travis Tritt had recorded "Please Remember Me", I would be calling
for a psychological examination. Travis Tritt may record sensitive ballads,
but they are not cookie-cutter, by any stretch of the imagination. Cookie
cutter songs are just that... they sound like any other song, and have nothing
distinctive. Tritt has never had that problem.

Travis had a different problem. After a while, all of his ballads sounded
like his previous ballads. He must have used the same melody three times.
(Nothing Short of Dying, Can I Trust You With My Heart, and Foolish Pride).
So while his music didn't sound like Garth's or Alan's, it didn't grow
beyond what he had done on his first two albums. Which is fine if you love
those albums. Which I do.

Exactly, James. Plus I can't quite picture Travis doing "Please Remember
Me" anyway...I just don't think it would fit his personality well.

Not quite.

Not quite. Do you have a severe hearing problem?

I've heard Rodney's version. It's on his first MCA album. It's not much

Actually, Brat, I think your quote fits it perfectly. Instead of "Please
Remember Me," they should have named the song "Please Remember To Spay/Neuter,"
and then dedicated it to all the cookie-cutter sappy love songs out there that
have been sung by alleged males. :)

Have you heard the original Bryan Adams version of the song? You're
right, BW seems to be really straining his voice especially when he
sings it live it's almost painful to watch. It's like he's singing out
of his range or something. By contrast the Adams version is sung very
easily with simple heart felt feeling and no strain at all. I like BW
and would like to see him succeed but I think this song, which I like
very much, is a mismatch for him.

statement that Tim pitched the song to Alan. My point was only that
Alan makes the final decision on which songs to record, so if he did
not want it on the CD it wouldn't have been there. Also you're right
that initially Alan sounded like the song had no special meaning as
a single, he said in later intereviews that he did release it because
"what had been going on in my personal life the last year has been so
public, and this song said something I wanted to say about it". He
probably figured out some of his fans liked the idea that it was
referring to his reconciliation and decided to go with it. He did
alot of pretty contradictory interviews around that time. Also, I said
highest debuting single (It hit the charts at #35) I realize it
did not debut there. If you notice, lately his songs have not been
hitting #1 so frequently. "Little Man" which I think is a really well
written song seems to be stalled at #6 or #7 depending on the chart.
I don't mean to nitpick, just wanted to clarify what I said in the
initial statement. I am a fan of Alan's although not quite so avid as
I once was.
