My dad, who wouldn't know a singer if he fell over one, summed it up best:
"Who's the chick dressed like a hooker?"
And my brother summed up what I, and probably most of you, thought of her song
selection: "I thought Shania Twain sang country??"
Wrong!
As for me, I'm cheering over Sheryl Crow's best rock album win. And I'm
cheering over the new haircut.

Just listen to yourselves. Hatred spewed of. This is the news group
that somebody mistook for being "Christian"?
I didn't like Ms. Twain's little song nor did I find it very
country, but if you listen to the words the outfit (which I didn't
like either) make a little sense. But instead of trying to
understand you critize.
Why don't we look at the good stuff? Dixie Chicks won with an
honest album. Hopefully this is a sign of where country is headed
in the next year. (And note despite rumors they stated they are
in the studio recording a new album.)

And probably the only reason he commented on it at all is because he
liked what he saw. But he wouldn't want his daughter to know that.

Just because she dresses like a slut doesn't necessarily mean she is
one. Do you think all those pretty boys on CMT wearing cowboy hats and
boots are really cowboys? Yeah, right.

shanIa's foolish hooker costume was a disgrace to many things: Country music,
the Grammys, and women in general. Debbie thought the CMA outfit was bad, this
was downright tasteless. Debbie is convinced that either shanIa thought it was
the auditions for Pretty Woman II, or shanIa was revealing what kind of
relationship she and Mutt really have... Except instead of "Honey I'm hone and
I've had a hard day", it's more like "Honey I'm home, bend over while I give
you ten whacks"... Heh heh...
Those who aren't laughing at shanIa are too busy puking at her disgusting
display.. Debbie sat there for 15 minutes afterwards, shaking Debbie's head in
disbelief.. What a disgusting display!
Though, there are reports out (unconfirmed) that shanIa is indeed leaving
country music... Good riddance, Phony shanIa!
BigMac7OHR
>that somebody mistook for being "Christian"?
Debbie would not know - Debbie is not Christian.
Also, Debbie does not hate Phony shanIa, just shanIa's phoniess, overgrown ego,
and greed.

The outfit would've bee more fitting if shanIa were doing a remake of Depeche
Mode's "Master and Servant". Or Oingo Boingo's "Violent Love"... Or maybe if
Phony shanIa had altered the song to "Man! I Feel Like A Dominatrix!".. There
was nothing "womanly" or "sexy" about her outfit. It was flat out trashy.
shanIa: Simply a tramp.

Debbie views psychologists as a sham.
Besides, to understand why Debbie refers to Debbie in the third person, you

What network was the Grammys on? I was thinking ABC was carring it.
The sooner Shania jumps to pop the happier I'll be to get her out of
country.

Why? I should be the one concerned for you...
>Rocky thinks Debbie shows an immense jealousy of someone who probably has
>everything Debbie wants - talent, attractiveness, intelligence, an ability to
Bwahahaha... I think I'm going to bust a rib laughing....
I am NOT jealous of Phony shanIa in any way, shape, manner or form.. Why does
everything think someone is jealous when they speak out against someone?
I do not find Phony shanIa attractive.. Since I have no desire to be a
musician, I don't want musical talent - which shanIa has none of anyways!
And if shanIa is intelligent, she sure doesn't show it very much
*flush*
>communicate and exist within the company of other people, and the incentive
She sure doesn't know how to communicate with her fans, does she??
*flush*
>Rocky thinks Debbie is as nutty as a fruitcake and makes Stella look normal

>better watch out or Stella will be impersonating her.).
I am quite sane, and a million times more sane than crazy Stella.
>Rocky thinks the idea of him defending Shania is as far from what might be
>predicted as is Bill Clinton becoming celibate.
Then why defend someone of such little talent and poor character traits?
>Rocky thinks Shania has a modicum of talent, great promotion, good stage
>presence, and is simply marketing as any artists would.
But the thing is, all there is to shanIa IS marketing. There's no substance.
It's shanIa the sex kitten looking like a tramp onstage. It's shanIa and her
phony "I love my fans" act. It's poor shanIa and "My heartache". If shanIa had
a normal background and weighed 200 pounds, she'd be out of a career by now.
*flush*
>Rocky thinks using sex as a selling point is as old as women in country music
But at least these other women in country music have talent and substance to
back up their sexy image...
>(and Rocky wonders if anyone here ever saw any early pictures of Goldie Hill

>point for her and she would be a fool not to use that advantage.
They're not a major point, they're the ONLY point... shanIa has as much musical
talent as Cindy Crawford (probably less!).
>Rocky thinks the costume was not that bad.
If the Grammys were a B&D scene, the costume would fit in quite well. For a
"country" music performance, it was a disgraceful joke!

little outfit:
http://www.grammy.com/images/home/photos/07251.jpg
When I read the criticism of Shania's outfit, I expected the outfit to
look trampy (Shania's not the most modest country artist in the world),
but I didn't expect it to look that bad. However, it DOES look like
something you'd expect to see on a hooker. THIS is what we want
contemporary country to look like? I don't think so.
I'm a man. I think Shania IS sexy. However, I'm not going to defend her
or her music just because I think she's attractive. I think anyone is
silly for liking a supposed musical artist primarily because of their
looks, and sadly, if it weren't for Shania's looks, I'd be willing to be
my left gonad that she wouldn't be where she is today. Music should be
about music first, not the wrapping that the singer was born in.
You can say that sex appeal has always been an aspect of country music,
and I won't argue with you. However, Ms. Twain is just pushing it, along
with the definition of modern country music, much too far. She needs to
"go pop," leave country behind her, and be done with it.

jealous of Shania. Maybe what she wore wasn't the best outfit, but do not
let that lessen her talent. The woman can sing and the woman can write and
compose. She just knows how to market herself in order to be successful.
Everyone said the same thing of Madonna years ago. Now we all marvel at how
wonderfully she promoted herself and her craft.
I am a woman and was not in the least insulted by Shania's performance, nor
do I think she is a phony. I am proud that she is a woman making her way in
the business HER WAY.. ... If you don't like her, don't buy her music.
But obviously people do, she sells the albums, and her songs are
consistently on the #1 positions.

Shania's outfit. Hope she didn't move too much on stage, I'd be afraid of
falling out of that thing.
As for her music, I generally don't mind it. I do think it is more 'pop'
oinented that country, but she sure is not the first to do that.
Concerning her using sex to sell....I think she would be more attractive if she
left a little bit more to the imagination.

There are 100's of people who look as good or better than Shania.
If looks was all it takes then why are they not super stars?
Shania's lyrics speak to some people. She says things that other
country artist don't and in ways others don't. I don't like
her myself, but she offers more than just looks.
And do you think the Judds would have big stars if they had
warts and were 400 pounds? Or Reba? Or Tanya? Or.... Name
one major star male or woman that was fat and unattractive when
they first became stars (they are a few, but not many).
This Shania is only big cause of her looks is BS. It's just
part of bigger package and looks have been important for years.

What do you mean you don't think so? You don't think it's her? According to
the Grammy site, it's her, and I would take their word for it over yours or,

Okay, Tim, I know you've had to read some of my other posts, but I'll explain
it again. First of all, "they" didn't marry a well-connected, well-known,
respected producer in the music industry. Second, they don't have the hype
machine behind them that Shania has. Third, Shania has a sob story that hooks
some people. Fourth, "they" don't emphasize it or play on it NEARLY as much as
Shania does.

Um, Wynona was never what most guys would call a "sex symbol."

Okay, she's attractive, but not that attractive, especially in recent years.
She's not so attractive that guys are drawn to her for her looks.

Maybe she's just not my cup of tea (or, for that matter, the cup of tea for
most of the guys I know), but I know few men who have ever fallen all over her
like many guys do for Shania.
> Or.... Name

Do yourself a favor -- go back and look at books like the Encyclopedia of
Country Music. You'll see a lot of major female country stars who weren't what
most men would consider "sex kittens."
> This Shania is only big cause of her looks is BS.
Please! If she looked like, oh, Alison Krauss, Mutt would have never married
her, guys wouldn't be fawning all over her, and she would be yet another
country music also-ran. (By the way, for someone that's not a fan of Shania,
Tim, you certainly are a quick one to jump to her defense. Look out -- I think
your fan club card is showing -- wait, Shania disbanded that, didn't she? ;-)
)
> It's just
> part of bigger package and looks have been important for years.
It's a HUGE part of that package. Why not come out on the Grammy's in
something more modest. "If you've got it, flaunt it?" Sorry, but there have
been plenty of sexy women in music throughout history who didn't feel the need
to flaunt it as often or as intensely as Shania does. It's basically an
admission by Shania and her PR staff that her sex appeal IS Shania's primary
selling point.
Looks are only important if fans allow it to be important. It's a damn shallow
reason to like an artist. It IS supposed to be about the music.

I'd just like to clarify something here, for those not familiar with Jean
Shepard. Yes, pictures of her can't help but show her as a knockout.
But she was, and still is, an immensely talented singer. Production
techniques weren't needed to showcase her talent. There wasn't MTV,
and her picture did not come with singles, which was the dominant
format back then. Her voice, and personality, have stood the test of
time, and she still graces the Grand Ole Opry.

shanIa didn't see it as degrading herself. She saw it as a way to expose raw
sex appeal in front of hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide, so that
shanIa could boost her album sales some more.
shanIa: Simply due to pose for Playboy before the year 2000.
HK...@webtv.net
absolutely ridiculous! Calling a woman a slut and a phony for wearing an
outfit. First of all the people doing this are obviously very jealous
and sexually repressed haus fraus. What is wrong with admiring a woman's
body? Also, you women are worse then men. Every concert I went to when
the male artist turns around the women all hoot and holler. As for
Shania being a phony, most country stars are! The #1 phony is that
overrated Garth Brooks with his ploy to sell 100milion albums by the
year 2000.He tries to sell people a new album or box set of already
released material (Live albums with 4 different collectible covers)every
6mos. and calls them "Limited additions".Or at his lame concerts he
passes ot signs to hold up during the show to make him look better . I
regretfully attended his concert on a Saturday and a freind on a
Thursday in the same arena. The day I was there women were holding up
signs about his fiddle player and this sparked a conversation about him.
On Thursday the same happened with his drummer. Now that is phony and
lame! That is an old trick he took from "proffesional wrestling"! But
this is what it is,music BUSINESS. If you do not market yourself so
everyone remembers you, you will not last.

performance last night delivered a loud message: I no longer consider myself
part of country music.
I can only hope that shanIa make many worst-dressed lists for that outfit, but
I doubt it. So many people drool over her appearance that some numb-skulls will
probably put her on the best-dressed list...
The shanIa collective is assimilating more and more of the media all the time.
>I'm a man. I think Shania IS sexy. However, I'm not going to defend her
>or her music just because I think she's attractive. I think anyone is
shanIa looked much better a few years ago. Her beauty and sexiness came across
much more naturally. Now it's forced and contrived, like the rest of her image
and career. Instead of looking really good in a pair of tight jeans and
crop-top, now she has to resort to fetishwear and looking like a cheap hooker.

That's also my problem with shanIa... Many female singers, both in pop and
country, use sex appeal for their images.. But they can back up their image
with talent and good music... shanIa is nothing but an image. There's no talent
or substance behind it. Just a belly button and cleavage and tight pants and
trampy outfits.
If shanIa was 200 pounds, she'd be out of music by now.

I think she intends to leave country, and the sooner, the better.
Personally, I wish she'd leave music altogether and just disappear. But I doubt
it'll happen anytime soon.

>absolutely ridiculous! Calling a woman a slut and a phony for wearing an
shanIa IS becoming a slut. All she ever seems to do anymore is put effort into
looking like a sex kitten.. Her image and looks have a higher priority than her
music...
Secondly, there are MANY reasons I call her a Phony, and if you'd like, I'll be
more than happy to email these reasons to you.
>outfit. First of all the people doing this are obviously very jealous
>and sexually repressed haus fraus. What is wrong with admiring a woman's
I am neither jealous of sexually repressed. I just can't understand why when
shanIa performed on awards shows in front of million of viewers, why she can't
go and perform great, instead of coming out in some trashy outfit. Why? Because
shanIa has given up using actual talent to sell records, now she only uses sex.
In that sense, shanIa IS a whore, since she's whoring out her image and looks
to get to the top, not talent and hard work.

When it comes to Phoniness, shanIa is as phony as they get... The same way when
it comes to Foolishness, Michael jordon is as foolish as they get... There are
many foolish and/or phony people, but shanIa is the queen of phoniness, and
jordon the king of foolishness.

I said: "Why is Shania Twain dressed up like a dominatrix?" That's
exactly what she looked like. Also, why was she in a semi-squat for the
whole song? She looked totally uncomfortable. Of course, she always
looks uncomfortable to me when she's singing- kinda constipated or
something.
Also- Why does that song have music that is traditionally used for "Way
To Go- Cowboys- Way To Go"- I haven't heard this song before (Thank
God!) so I just noticed it last night. But why is a football cheer the
hook for the song? Hello?
And before anyone asks or accuses, No, I'm not jealous, okay? Why
should I be- Shania Sucks!!!!
One more question please- Why does this Debbie person refer to herself
in the 3rd person? Did I nod off and miss this somewhere?

I didn't watch the show and it sounds like I didn't miss much. I've always
felt that Shania is an embarrassment to country music. I don't begrudge her
success--it doesn't concern me, but please, don't for one minute think she's
country . She's pop-always has been and always will be. And IMO she can't
carry a tune in a gunny sack.

You need to get a grip and get a new hobby. Shania bashing is old news
in this NG. Whether she's a whore or a bad singer or not country is a
matter of opinion, and I really don't give a crap about yours. You
can't even spell her name correctly. Oh, and whatever the reason is
that made you start referring to yourself in the third person, cut it
out. It just makes your posts sound even more idiotic.
When you get around to it, try looking up JEALOUSY in a dictionary. I
think Debbie can manage to squeeze that into her busy schedule.

I'm in and out of this newsgroup, and even I, a bi-weekly visitor here, can
see that she's making the "i" in Shania uppercase and everything else
lowercase for a reason -- demonstrating graphically that to Shania, or
shanIa, the "I" is everything, meaning that the most important people to her
are "me, myself, and I."

I'll admit that the third person thing gets a bit old, and the "Debbie is
good, Debbie is wise" sounds silly. However, her opinions are just as valid
as yours, which, in this case, reveals that you should have read Debbie's
posts a little closer and maybe then you would have been able to tell a
capital I from a lowercase l.

Bad outfit, no talent...what she did on the awards show was about as
far from country as I have ever heard, and maybe the reason for the
shock, was due to the fact that A) She is representing the Country
genre..was an embarassment. B) She looked and stood like a hooker on a
corner. C) Her songs are consistently on the #1 chart because as to
what she so blatantly stated last night, sex sells...How can you be
proud of a woman who uses her body to get ahead? I thought we were way
beyond that point...

Why is it whenever a woman points out that a female performer's outfit
is tacky and tasteless, some idiot whines "jealous?"
No, stupid. If the rest of us wanted B&D outfits, we'd run down to the

Just as a casual observer, I thought it was interesting that the only two

her whatever you want, but the recording industry has voted her a country
artist. Now we'll see if she shows up at Fan Fair.

Nope.. It's shanIa... As in when shanIa made her name, shanI - I love myself

Of course, since her name is as Phony as her, I could start calling her

I am not jealous. I do not desire shanIa's fame or money, and certainly not her
trashy image, overgrown ego, or self-centered attitude.
Why can't you people learn this?

Brian, I am pleased. Someone finally understands my meaning of the spelling of
shanIa. The big I represents what shanIa thinks of herself: The most important
person in the world, and everyone else must bow before her.

Both "Debbie is good, Debbie is wise" and the use of third-person is from

Because shanIa jockers think shanIa is the goddess of the world, and anyone who
dislikes her is jealous. This is wrong. shanIa is a two-bit hooker, and her
fans don't understand that many people dislike her because her lack of talent,
blatant use of sex to get to the top, and her self-centered attitude and lies.

expect to hear no phony twang in phony shanIa's voice, no fiddle, no steel
guitar, nothing...
It looks like shanIa is leaving country forever, and if so, this is reason to
celebrate...
Now she just needs to leave music.

Try learning the meaning of a word before using it:
nee \Nee\, p. p., fem. [F., fr. L. nata, fem. of natus, p. p. of nasci to be
born. See Nation.] Born; -- a term sometimes used in introducing the name of
the family to which a married woman belongs by birth; as, Madame de

Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
nee adj : (meaning literally `born') used to indicate the maiden or family
name of a married woman; "Hillary Clinton nee Rodham"

What you're saying is that Shania was born to the Lange's then born a second
time to the Twain's.

Yes. Both shanIa AND her name are phony. This is the point I was trying to
make. Not that just because shanIa is not her real name, she is phony. I just
find it fitting that such a phony person has a phony name, heh heh..
>You know what? Screw it. You won't get it, anyway, Shania/SherrieFan.
LIE! Debbie is not ShaniaFan9, or the foolish SherrieFan.. You keep making this
claim, yet can't prove it...
Why? Because it's not true..
BigMac7OHR
Perhaps shanIa is telling the world she has Mutt by the you-know-whats... Or
maybe it's her ego coming out, delivering a message that "I, Queen shanIa, now
own country music! You will bow before me, or I'll whip you!" Heh heh...
>exactly what she looked like. Also, why was she in a semi-squat for the

shanIa never looks comfortable singing... If all she had to do was stand there
for 4 minutes, she'd have looked like she was enjoying herself.. But she always
looks fearful when singing, as if to say "Uh oh, is this the performance where
the world learns I can't sing and I've fooled them for all these years?!"... I
doubt the bondage outfit had anything to do with her discomfort.

Because shanIa and Mutt make all their songs by ripping off others.. "Honey I'm
Home" has Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" (also produced by Mutt) written
all over it.
shanIa: Simply the Vanilla Ice of country.

Agreed. shanIa was once a very beautiful woman who was naturally sexy.. The
cover photo for The Woman In Me is a very beautiful photo, and she has a
natural sexiness about her when she would wear a tight pair of pants and a crop
top....
But she has lowered and cheapened herself. Instead of coming across as
beautiful in a natural way, she resorts to looking like a hooker and making a
scene.. There's a difference between sexy and slutty, and shanIa has gone way
past that line... There's no reason to appear on the Grammys looking like a
hooker/dominatrix, and no reason to subject the world to a 4 minute crotch shot
(wasn't that camera angle SO convenient?!).. That wasn't about music, or
presenting herself as a "woman".. That was about sex, and using to get to the
top....
I can see now the CMA appearance last year was no fluke.. This is now the way
shanIa wants to express herself.
shanIa: Simply slutty.

Knowing the fools at People, they'll probably call it one of the best outfits
of the Grammys....
People loves shanIa just a little too much... They have been assimilated into
the shanIa collective.

I agree, Linda. I have gotten so many posts here in RMCW, on
alt.fan.shania-twain and, as well as emails accusing me of being jealous...
"You're just angry because you can't look at sexy as shanIa and don't have her
talent"... Ha-HAH!
First off, while I can't sing worth a damn, that doesn't mean I have less
talent than shanIa - because she DOES have less than me...
Second of all, I am not jealous of shanIa's looks.. She was one a very
beautiful woman, but has cheapened herself by creating an image based on sex,
not beauty.
As I said in a previous post, I have a pair of boots that make shanIa's look
tame.. But I don't go out wearing them at awards shows... The whole outfit was
tacky and slutty, that pose was slutty, and the combined effect made her look
like a $50 hooker in Hollywood.. I am not jealous of that. If I wanted to "look
like shanIa", I could get a black leather dress and a pair of tacky black
gloves with the tassels on them and dress like that. All that takes is money. I
don't WANT to look like Phony shanIa. I do not want to lower myself to her
prostitute level.
Mythical19
& her outfit, that's just taste speaking. I have seen preformers like Foxy
Brown & Lil' Kim wear more clothes!
There is a line between sexy and sleazy, and if Shania didn't cross it when she
came out in that dress (although it just looked like a long tube top to me!),
she certainly crossed it when she stood there with her pelvis thrusted foward
and her legs spread during the entire preformance. Where was the artistic
impression in that one??

Compared to outfits Cher and Madonna have worn to awards shows past,

I have to question these statements about Shania's "longevity." How many albums
has she released? Two? Three, if you count the first album released in 1993 that
barely registered when it was first released? That's not longevity as far as I'm
concerned. Only time will tell, but I don't think you can seriously point to her
"longevity" at this point as making her something special.
Even if Shania releases five more albums (and if she does, I suspect that more
than one will be released as a "pop" album), that doesn't necessarily mean that
she has any special talent. There are numerous examples in music history of people
that were on the music scene for years yet had a questionable level of musical
ability. Just look back over the last twenty or thirty years of music history --
and not just at country music -- and I think you'll clearly see what I mean.
P.S. And don't even bring up how many albums she's sold. There have also been
plenty of "barely talented" musicians in all of music history that have sold
mountains of records.

Brian Rodgers

That's right, all men are exactly alike. And liking to look at scantily clad
women constitutes being "controlled" by their hormones. Geez, pretty sexist
statement, if you ask me.
Cheating on your wife because of a scantily clad woman is being controlled by
your hormones. Committing a rape of a scantily clad woman is being controlled
by your hormones. Having sex with an underaged girl who is scantily clad is
being controlled by your hormones. But just liking to look? I can't see that
as being controlled at all.
But then, one of the reasons I like country videos is because country boys wear
their jeans *so* tight...

Oh, I dunno -- I've been known to do some mightly scandalous things in my time.
A million years ago, in college, I wore a white gauze shirt, wet, with no bra, to
the campus dining hall. And once me and a girlfriend did the dramatic reading
from Forum magazine over dinner in the same dining hall... Also been known to
run around in black lace legging and a chiffon shirt, no underwear -- but that
was at a place where clothing was optional. <vbeg>

>cannot claim her last name is not Twain ?
I was refering to her first name.. She was born Eilleen Edwards, was adopted by
Jerry Twain - who is spinning in his grave over what his daughter has become! -
and become Eilleen Twain, then married Robert John Lange, making her Eilleen
Lange... But he legal name is not shanIa, or even Shania. It's Eilleen.
Therefore, the name Shania = fake.

I've never said that either.. I just disagree that shanIa had to LIE about the
whole thing until she got caught red handed.
LilSmart1

Point well taken, but....
I don't hate Shania at all. I don't even know her. I just know what I see,
and it's tacky.
I've defended her. I think she's talented, I think she can do good for women
in the industry....IF she can just locate a little class within herself. Songs
like "Honey I'm Home" don't impress. It's like listening to nothing but
cheese. And yet, I own "The Woman In Me", and I do think there's substance to
that album. With "Come On Over", she just went glam.
Anyone who can raise her siblings and work at the age she did has a lot of good
character. I just wish she'd show it more often. And saying things like she
hates hanging out with her fans doesn't help, either.

LIE! Debbie enjoys Def Leppard's music and I immediatly noticed the

imaginary link between myself and the foolish ShaniaFan9 has nothing to do with
it.

Because it's all coincidence. I've never posted as SF9. And yes, I know about
ShaniaFan9's weak posts by looking back though DejaNews. Debbie looked up many
shanIa related posts in her quest to find more proof of shanIa's phoniness. I
found the posts of that fool SF9 to be amusing.

Nope. All three of those are choices. A person can either give into their dirty
thoughts and hormones and commit those acts, or decide not to.
However, not many men have trashed shanIa for her outfit (the only one that
comes to mind was the one talking about his daughter, can't remember the
name)... So, when it comes to looking and drool, men seem to give into their
hormones.. shanIa was in a skimpy outfit giving the world a crotch-shot, men
are drooling....

Yes, that pose.. What a lady... Legs spread, pelvis thrusted forward, wearing
long black gloves, a skimpy black dess with her cleavage exposed, and the skirt
of the dress is 3 inches past her crotch, with a pair of black thigh-high
boots... That performance crossed the line from sexy into downright sexual and
trashy...
shanIa was once powerful and beautiful. Now she is just a cheap piece of meat.

In Sister Terri's post "Note to Debbie"
she gave appox. 20 examples of celebrities from music, motion pictures,
and sports (many with first and/or last names changed) and you said "It
is not phony to change your name" (maybe not quite the exact quote but
close enough) and now you criticize Shania for changing her first name
(Reference "Shania = fake"
as quoted above) ?????????
Sounds like somebody has a double standard.
