Chris Robinson Slams Taylor Swift, Says She's "Horrible"

swiftcrowes.jpg

Even Kanye West might find this a bit harsh! In the latest issue of Nylon mag, Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson rips Taylor Swift a new one, slamming her and her fans! "I find it embarrassing that adults are like, 'Taylor Swift is very talented.' She's not. She might be cute, but she's horrible," he tells the mag.

Robinson added, "They have stylists who dress them, they make records with producers who play a chord into the computer and it all comes out the same...When you have computers doing it all for you...there's no individuality. Singing isn't always about being on key; it's about emotionality."

Is Chris way off base, or does he have a point? And what will Taylor and other celebs have to say to the rocker about his mouthy interview?



Wonder what Kate Hudson thinks about it? She used to be married to him after all...

When did Serpico become a music critic?

Signing is emotion and being on key dumbass. Otherwise we would all be singers.

This comes from an ugly dude that couldn't even satisfy his wife. What a punk!

Taylor is beautiful,but i think she's not talented like a singer who's in the top,she doesn't have stage presence,can't perform live,has a weak personality and is very boring,common.She's only "famous" because of Kanie West.She's a common singer like many bars singers around and her voice isn't that incredible,it's okay,but not perfect.She's not a bad singer,but thousands of unknown(not famous) people can sing better than her...that's the reality.She's not bad,but not the best singer around.Lack of real talent...her beauty and youth made her "famous".
She's almost invisible on stage and as a person.Taylor is not the best singer around.Anyone can become "famous" like her with an average voice like hers.

Taylor is the closest thing we have to Jesus on earth so please don't ruin it Mr Robinson. What if your kid wanted to be the next Taylor Swift??

Taylor is a talented songwriter and entertainer! She makes people happy. Is there something wrong with that?

Grammy for Album of the year..Thanks Kanye..All her crap sounds the same and she writes like a 13 year old girl..Got another VMA nomination just because Mtv wants another Kanye moment..Radio want play You Lost Me but plays her crap around the clock.SICK OF HER!!!

i agree w/chris. taylor is horrible and the one time i seen her perform live (i think it was a duet w/stevie nicks) she bombed big time!! chris has the balls to tell the truth - alot of musicians probably agree but its not "cool" or should i say "politically correct" to come out and say it in the media. i remember when she cleaned up at the country music awards was horrified! i'm sure all the country music stars agree - it was just a taylor swift faze. btw, she is not friendly at all and comes across as being full of herself!

THANK YOU finally someone has slammed Taylor Swift. I like her but come on playing it safe not gonna get you far she isn't an artist who explores her talents or maybe her talent it 4 chords she knows. All her songs sound the same. Come on Taylor SEX YOURSELF up

Oh please. This coming from a guy who was married to one of the least talented hacks out there and who can barely hit a note himself.

My friends on the set of Raising Helen heard Kate Hudson on the phone in her trailer screaming at this loser she was tired of taking care of his broke lazy a**. His voice is worse than the sound of a cat getting it's tail stepped on.

This comes from Chris Robinson? He could use a few singing lessons himself. He's not anywhere close to being someone to criticize another!



Posted by: Anonymous

Totally agree..she is sooo horrible and cant even sing live..



Posted by: Anonymous

He is right , she can't sing . she sounds like a 5 year old singing. This is what music have become, what happen to the time when you had to have talent to be a musician? Now fly can all can get a record deal.

What is Chris famous for ..being Kate
Hudson's ex husband that what...No he

Please, the last time Chris Robinson was relevant was 1991.

When is the last time this n!gga had a hit song, 20 years ago?
He needs to STFU.

he's so right , saw black crowes in toronto they were awesome, taylor does suck, no REAL talent.

Kanye put Taylor Swift on the map. Before Kanye's rant no one really didn't even care about her. America had a pity party with Taylor Swift that even got her Best Grammy Award REALLY NOW!!! She can't sing live and her music is really bad, but Taylor should thank Kanye everyday because of him she is a star.

john lennon wanna be mther fcker.

who the fck is he to insult her? what a typical hollywood kook

I dare him to pick on a rapper about their lack of talent.



Posted by: Anonymous

I have to agree with him. She's convinced me that the awards are fixed! I don't get it! She's a good teen performer but, I've yet to be impressed by her voice, or the songs she writes.



Posted by: Anonymous

He has a point.



Posted by: Taylor makes more $$$$ than you!

Someone is jealous!!! SUCK IT CR!!! He wished he was her.



Posted by: Anonymous

Dude is more than right. You could play the top 5 teeny bop songs right now and they all sound the same and i for sure couldn't tell the difference. Unless you are 12.



Posted by: Anonymous

He is right. All her songs sound the same and are all about fairy tales and syrupy sweet stuff.



Posted by: Nejxn

Let's see, Taylor has won 6 American Music Awards, 5 CMT Awards, 4 Grammys, 1 MTV, 7 Teen Choice, 6 CMA's, 7 CMT Online Awards, 2 Kid's Choice... Nominated for 106 awards and won 70 of them. She makes about $50 million a year. Chris Robinson and The Black Crowes? Wiki lists no awards. I'm NOT a big Taylor Swift fan, and I LIKE a lot of the Black Crowes material. But facts are facts - a hell of a lot more people like Taylor than they do Chris or the Black Crowes.



Posted by: Anonymous

RE:2:51 Your's has to be the All-Time-Most-Stupid post ever! By the time of the 2009 VMA's, Taylor had won a TON of awards, and making about $45 mill a year! And what was Taylor doing at the awards? Oh yeah - winning an award! Kanye put Taylor on the map??? Your are obviously an idiot.



Posted by: Anonymous

he's off base.
at least she plays an instrument, and writes her own songs. i think he meant people like Britany Spears- who are manufactured artists. Swift actually is an artist even if she is NOT his style.



Posted by: Anonymous

all of these new singers are fake.
there is no more talent.



Posted by: Anonymous

This is news? The fact that Taylor Swift is a talentless fool that can't sing a note is well known within the music industry. Do a Google search with her name, and "Auto Tune Live" as the search terms..........those in the music industry know she's one of the biggest phonies to come along in 30 years.



Posted by: Anonymous

i'm not going to lie, i love taylor's songs. and i think she's an adorable girl. but i took my 6 year old (who pretty much idols taylor and better her than lindsay lohan) to see her in concert and i wanted nothing more than to plug my ears and try to drown out her voice. she's a terrible singer. she can't stay on key to save her life. yes, i am aware that she's won tons of awards and great for her, but that doesn't change the fact that she really can't sing live at all.



Posted by: Anonymous

Big deal that she won awards. Lots of people who suck win them and it's already apparent that North America has no taste, hence Justine Beiber and Miley Cyrus.

Taylor Swift is the best. The long haired guy is upset because he is not even close to being good.



Posted by: Anonymous

Check this out 25 years ago you had Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson and U2. Do you really think for one minute that Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus & Justin Beiber are in that league. Middle America keeps this no talent wanna be pop/country star on the scene. Taylor Swift live is worst than Britney Spears live, because Britney is lip sync, Taylor really tries to sing live and fails. Voters sent a message a gave this girl all these awards. But the Grammys failed with Best Overall come on Beyonce & Kings of Leon had a better CD and everyone knows it. Taylor Swift should take voice lessons from Carrie Underwood and than maybe be allowed to perform live.

When is the last hit he had. A few years back he slammed the Stones and Aerosmith. Just a sad human looking for attention. What a great way to do it. Lets bad mouth the most popular performer for the last two years. He couldnt even hold onto his wife.

I posted the last comment. For the record I'm a 47 y.o. male who cant really stand the "new"country music. I'm not a 14 y.o. female Taylor Swift fan. I just think he's an idiot who should shut up.No one cares what he thinks.



Posted by: Anonymous

THE TRUTH HURTS!!!! SHE SUCKS!



Posted by: Anonymous

She can't carry a tune in a bucket and even sounds out of tune when her voice is altered with Autotune. The music scene today is depressing and pointless.



Posted by: Anonymous

She's a child who has written and performed several grammy winning songs... I think that speaks for itself. Not everyone loves the music of the Black Crowes. He's ignorant and self-absorbed and, dare I say, a little insecure?



Posted by: Anonymous

Totally agree all her songs sound the same that inocent voice!!! it gets to my ears, she is cute that's about it. Don't get where her talent is............. maybe her golden curly hair?

I TOTALLY AGREE ..........

FIX THEM TEETH

TAYLORS CRAP! all her songs sound the same, shes not versatile, shes a product of the media, not her talent



Posted by: Anonymous

What has this @sshole done lately? He shouldn't talk about talent because he doesn't have any either. What a douche bag!



Posted by: Anonymous

Swift made it to where she is because of the incredibly clever and poetic songs she's pumped out one after another for the past four years. Her voice is weak, but her intelligence and talent as a songwriter matches or surpasses the best songwriters in Nashville today.



Posted by: Sarah

And this coming from a dude who hasn't had a hit since what? 1995? Just saying.



Posted by: linda

i have to agree with chris her voice is one of the worst i have heard...having said that i do admire her for not becoming trashy like gaga and brittany and others have.



Posted by: lisa

she sucks but she is still better than miley cyrus.......that one i just don't get.



Posted by: Lori

I don't think she is a good singer but she writes pretty good......and lisa you are right about miley....uck



Posted by: Anonymous

He is wrong where Taylor is concerned. She is a talented artist and songwriter. I can agree with him where alot of artists out there now that are molded. Actually, I think it's very tacky of him to say that.



Posted by: Anonymous

Doesn't matter if he hasn't had a hit in how many years, he is right. She is a bubble gum country artist. Great song writer???? Compared to who. Certainly not real song writers like Springsteen, Bono, and her voice is not good. Sorry, winning awards doesn't make you talented.



Posted by: Anonymous

He pretty much hit the nail on the head, but he still has no right to say that. Taylor Swift IS talented, because she has the ability to attract young fans. She's very likable. But when it comes to singing live or writing songs, she's really got some work to do.



Posted by: Anonymous

I know who Taylor Swift is. Who is Chris Robinson







This part is optional!
