GumbootCloggerooTimberleak? What does that even mean? Justin Timberlake is actually quite talented. And who is Springfield supposed to be? Oh wait, Springsteen, right? How clever.Quote

My statement was not meant as a put down of Talor Swift or Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood etc, they are all good at what they do and their certainly is a place for it in todays market. Not everyone can be of the same status of the Stones or Dylan + The Beatles.
That said I am putting down the Rolling Stones. What is the motivation for this? Does Mick Jagger really want to sing with a 22 year old pop singer whose audience is full of 13 year old girls? Does the average hardcore Stones fan (the ones paying these ridiculous prices) really want to see acts like Taylor Swift? Do they even know who she is? It just seems so forced and commercialized to me.
Not to sound like a musical snot, but the Stones represent more than what the average pop tart does. They aren't just another rock and roll band they are the rock and roll band. How can the band who sang Sympathy for the Devil + Street Fighting Man want to share the stage with the girl who wrote the whinny tween ballard "We are Never Getting Back Together?
Why lower your status by inviting very pop star of the moment (who will be on VH1's where are they now in five years) on stage to sing a forced duet? It almost never works out when the Stones attempt to chase trends. Bring on Buddy Guy, Springsteen, The Foo Fighters, but please leave the pop tarts at home, it's embarrassing for the Stones and all they represent. It makes them look desperate to be relevant to today's pop audience. Which begs the question why would they want to be relevant to today's pop audience? Been there done that.
Like I said earlier in the thread if this was the 80'S they would be singing with Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. Get my point?

Man if this doesn't melt your heart you got a heart of stone...just good vibes all around. Look at Tay-Tay approaching RW and Keith for a kiss in the end. Really nice. Keith seems to be intrigued at 1:49:

Anyone else notice that they've kept her voice low in the mix with Mick. Yes, she may be a nice T-n-A, great performer in her own right, but in this case she couldn't sing the song. She was out of tune & the evidence is there to support it. As a professional musician of 35 years I would not hire her for my band based on that performance. Based on her solo performances I would, however, snap her up in an instant.Quote

Can you specify where exactly in the song she's out of tune?

Well, Taylor Swift is not my taste, but she is well liked by young people and there are lots of young Rolling Stones fans, after all.
What happened to the Buddy Guy rumor?
At my concert it was John Mayer; which was a good excuse for a bathroom break.
I think if anyone at some future concert gets someone you don't want to see, just go get another beer or hit the restroom like I did-then you won't have to see them anyway.

The Rolling Stones died at the end of the 1981 tour...
Are you a US citizen ? ...because as a european citizen I would have said 1982

All these grumpy prostate patients complaining about Taylor Swift. It's just a girl guest singing on one song. It sounded quite nice I think.
