She really can't sing. She has to use Autotune on live performances. She's heavily autotuned on that DL clip. She can barely carry a tune and her voice is really weak. She was just awful on the Grammys singing with Stevie Nicks. Maybe the band will give her some kind of electronic boost to cover up her lack of a voice.
How can anyone sound awful singing with Stevie Nicks. Nicks can make sheep sound like a choir next to her.

Did people react the same way in 1994 when a young person like sheryl crow joined them on stage at joe robbie for live with me?
And how do we think about her nowadays?

I hated her in 1994 and even more in 2013.

It comes and goes.

the Stones shouldn't alienate their existing fans at the expense of trying to impress a bunch of 15-24 year old girls that don't know/care who they are and who still won't care who they are after taylor swift sings with them. hopefully they at least do a really great song like sweet virginia or loving cup and not something generic like wild horses or IORR.

How are they alienating their fans?
Put it this way. How many people are going to A) sell their tickets to this concert, ornot go to future concerts that they otherwise would go to because Taylor Swift is the special guest tonight?
On the flip side, how many people are going to tune in tonight to see the video of Taylor with the Stones and as a result, really start to become interested in what the Rolling Stones are all about (hence, becomes a future ticket buyer to future shows/tours/merchandise/DVDs/CDS.
Let me answer my own question.
Question #1 - ZERO.
Question #2 - Hundreds of thousands.

hang on, sonny boy. we are still trying to contact our market research professionals. once we have their counsel, then we'll get back to some of your wild assertions.
in the meantime, do not under-estimate the ability of diehard stones fans to be alientated. stay with us awhile and you can learn from those who have mastered the artform.

I have a hard time believing that anyone is going to be so outraged by Taylor Swift performing with the Stones that they will become less of a fan and spend less money on the RS than they did before 6/3/13 or that they otherwise would have spent if not for Taylor's appearance.

6/3 is 9/11 to Stones fans.

they obviously think they need some eye candy so they are showing how insecure they are and its kind of underestimating our dignity and taste. are they trying to impress their daughters with the guests do you think?? (a stretch)

Funny thought, both Taylor Swift and Katie Perry are ex girlfriends of John Mayer. I guess we should be happy he didn't date Jessica Simpson.
Actually, Mayer did date Jessica Simpson. Said she was "like sexual napalm."
