she is not attractive

lol 20yo? ummm no. lol.anyway, she looks beautiful

The Grammys have became nothing more than a big corporate freak fest. Many of these acts (lil Wayne for instance) couldn’t sing their way out of a paper sack if not for auto-tune and other digital vocal correction tools.
Help save real music from extinction!

333maxwell. many people appreciate lil wayne as an overall artist, not this amazind singer. get over it and understand not everyone has your opinion as to what ‘real music’ is.

# 6

I liked the dresses.. she looked cute

# 7

Taylor is amazing and her voice is so sincere. I much rather would have loved to hear her song without Miley though.

# 8

hm.
it seems like she always wears the same type of dresses and her hair is always done the same and her make up is always the same.
i mean she’s pretty
but i wish she would just change it up a bit :/

# 9

She looks so much younger than she is.

That black dress is GORGEOUS!!! Amazing pick, Taylor!

Her black dress is gorgeous!
Probably my favorite ever on her.
She did a great duet with Miley;
I LOVE YOU GIRLS!
xoxo

taylor is really good, especially as a writer, but as much as I hate to admit it, Miley Cyrus cannot sing. I think she just needs to disappear for a while and get some acting lessons, and come back as an adult and just focus on that.

I think there is too much focus on fame and not enough on art, which is what acting and singing are. Taylor Swift understands this, but i dont think Miley does.

I am very disappointed in this preformance because Taylor could have done way better on her own. Miley definetly ruined this.

First time I’ve ever actually enjoyed a live Taylor performance. She’s much better when she sings the softer stuff, her voice can’t handle the higher notes.

Miley was absolutely horrible though.

Taylor was wonderful. Miley was awful and ruined the song. She cannot sing to save her life.

Taylor did so well, unfortunatley Miley didn’t. Honestly, I don’t understand why Miley is famous; she can’t sing as seen in this performance, and is best known for her habit of taking innappropriate photographs. On the other hand, Taylor is so talented and deserves to be performing with someone who actually has talent. She has such an amazing voice! Go Taylor!!!!

Taylor you were wonderful, I love your voice your so pretty. and still so young .. Nice performance…

lovemytwins @ 02/08/2009 at 11:04 pm

Are you kidding me Miley sounded amazing! Come on guys!!! You are going to like Tays singing she wrote it for herself in her own tune..MIley did amazing for song not wrtten for her voice! Amazing.. stop hating its really sad you people are pathetic! Rock on MIley! Haters will always Hate!!

Miley sang great! Taylor too. Both nice young girls…

Miley is amazing in this for only jut learning this song. Very nice.. her voice is actually stronger than Taylors….

My ears are bleeding because Miley Cyrus just BUTCHERED my favorite Taylor Swift song, ever.

MILEY OUT SANG TAYLOR N MORE THAN ONE SPOT..IT WAS GREAT ALL THE WAY AROUND!

YO THESE GIRLS IS OFF THE HOOK. HOLLA !

you guys have got to be kidding!
she sounded strong and amazing
stop talking **** about a 16 year old!
shes doing amazing, shes gotten so far in her life already, if you dont want to support her, stop talking about her, its hurtful to her and her fans if you guys keep bashing her for no reason!!!

NO WAY MILEY DID A GREAT JOB..GIVE IT UP TO HER!!!!!

both were amazing!!!!!!

Taylor is a charming girl and s decent songwriter. But when are people going to realize she cannot sing. How she ever sold out her LA concert in two minutes is beyond me. I would not pay .25 cents to see her perform. Charming, mature,and cut….but not a singer.

FREJAMACARONS @ 02/08/2009 at 11:11 pm

Miley is just shouting. Taylor is off key all the time.

I AGREE E…. ITS SO SAD.. COME ON GIVE IT UP SHE WAS AMAZING TOO,…..MY LORD!
O MY GOD, MALENA

LOVERSALWAYS @ 02/08/2009 at 11:12 pm

EAT YOUR HEART OUT NICK AND JOE CUZ THAT PERFORMANCE WAS FOR YOU!!!!! HOPE THAT CAMILLA AND SELENA WERE WORTH IT….DOUBTFUL!

JOBROSBADBOYSATHEART @ 02/08/2009 at 11:14 pm

UM YEAH JOE AND NICK I WISH I COULD SEE THERE FACES FOR THAT FRIENDS NOW OR NOT THEY HAD TO FEEL FOOLISH!! GO GIRLS..MAKE UM PAY

mileyxoxoxo @ 02/08/2009 at 11:15 pm

miley sang great…people get a clue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Miley ruined another song… (just like she did for “Just Stand Up”).

Taylor’s voice isn’t amazing, but at least it’s pleasant to listen to and she has solid songwriting chops.

Miley sounds like garbage…horrible, unpleasant voice.

Lovely, talented girl, refreshing compared to so many other young performers.

Americans loove to EAT & ****, folks.
UNLESS IT’S FREE!!

Miley did great singing! Taylor on the other hand did not.

UGLYYYYYYYYYYYY to boot also.

Taylor is only 19, you have here that she’s 20.

taylorrockthegrammys @ 02/08/2009 at 11:40 pm

I’m have nothing against miley cyrus but she sounded horrible she really ruined that song, she can’t sing, yet shes famous, but whatever, Taylor was amazing she totally rocked i wish she would have sung that song alone.
Overall the performance was good\
they could have let Miley Cyrus out she is a sweet girl i suppose but she can’t sing or act her way out of a paper bag i 100 percent agree with the person who said she should disappear for awhile and get some singing and acting lessons. Taylor rocked she’s like my new idol aside from vaneesa hudgens of course

beautiful..
luv her..

i am definetly not hating on miley cyrus. I want to like her…I try to like her, but honestly, she cannot sing. I feel bad for Taylor because it ruined her preformance and she is so talented. I do not like country music, but Taylor is just so good and such an amazing writer.

I feel bad for miley and I wish that she realized her own limitations and stop setting herself up for failure.

I reiterate that she should disappear, take classes, and come back and be an actress. She should wait until she is older and then do more serious stuff, but of course she won’t because they all just want money and fame.

as much as I loved the fact that the two jonas brother ex’s are all bff now because I am not those brothers biggest fan, i wish taylor could have just sung on her own without that extra baggage.

Taylor was great.
Miley needs to go away.

I honestly don’t know why Miley is famous. Her voice isn’t made for singing, it’s too deep and raspy.

Miley sucked. i love taylor’s voice though i don’t like her as a person.

I agree with people that Taylor was better than Miley. They don’t sound good together especially around the 2:05 mark of the song. Overall, it was ok.

I agree with #33 and #40.
I’m a Miley fan but I think she totally ruined that song.I’m not hating or anything. I thought Taylor was awesome and I wished she had sung it herself. Also, Miley’s facial expressions durning the song kinda distracted me. =P

hahahahahaha @ 02/09/2009 at 3:00 am

she looks good with her hair up. she and carrie underwear look like half sisters. heheheheheheheh

pretty but i feel like she’s worn tht black dress before…its bland. the silver dress is nice but the shoulder strap hanging across is distracting.

Lushaliscious @ 02/09/2009 at 9:46 am

When I first heard of Taylor Swift, she sounded promising but has not delivered.

I’m afraid her Grammy performance was like a novice at an open mic. She seemed nevous and put in a very lackluster, off key performance.

I had hoped for more.

Miley is to pop music what the Monkees were to the BEATLES….a made for TV fake. Not a real musician, just riding on her daddy’s coat tails.

The Grammy’s in general are an overblown display of outrageous taste and poor performances by musicians who don’t deserve the recognition.

The best parts were the performances by the classic musicians…they were just there to have fun, not outdo each other for the worst outfits of the show.

Love Carrie Underwoods new song, hated her performance, hated her outfit even more. How did she become so trashy?

Taylor Swifts guitar however, was a beauty to behold…I want one..wonder what it sounds like I couldn’t really hear it, I was too distracted by Taylors whimpering voice and Miley’s screetching!

Taylor and Miley were so cute together and they have so much talent it was just a joy listening to them best act at the grammys

my ears hurt. miley, stop singing. and how many best friends does miley even have? one day its mandy, but i guess she wasnt famous , so miley “dumped” her and said she was very close with demi, and now taylor is her bff? please, tomorrow it will be selena gomez or what? and why is she a singer if she cant sing at all????

Miley can’t sing. If there’s a fast dance beat song Miley will sound ok, other than that, it all shouting words. Her talking voice is sometimes annoying too.Taylor has an amazing voice. As she gets older and more mature, her voice will only get better. It was sad to see Miley place a stink bomb on the song.

um…..if you’re a good singer, songs don’t have to be written for “your voice”…..the issue is her tone- her voice isn’t pretty and she needs to take vocal lessons to improve it. All of these young “stars” should pay attention to improving their craft instead of thinking that since they have a hit record, they are the best. Clearly, they are mistaken. I’ve never been a fan of Taylor but she did a pretty decent job and she’s a good songwriter for her age.

above comment was about MIley

the above comment is about Miley

SORRY MILEY SUCKED.

come to brazil, taylor !

Jazzyjewl @ 02/09/2009 at 2:29 pm

ahahahahahahah
suck mah ball

oh my god miley sounds like a dying cow.
she’s howling and her face looks horrible when she “sings” like that.

taylor swift however…gorgeous and beautiful voice. she’s an amazing singer live.

lakers fan in boston @ 02/09/2009 at 4:33 pm

she’s a cute chick, i just dont really like her eyes
anyways i thought she sang so beautifully at the grammy’s
stupid ho ass miley ruined it with her ugly ass voice, damn u miley

OMG….whoever thought they’d sound good together is obviously DEAF! I mean I love both of them on their own. Their voices are good on their OWN….they sound so different and so extemely NOT GOOD TOGETHER!

CBadCHRIS @ 02/10/2009 at 1:49 am

WHILE TAYLOR IS CERTAINLY TALENTED… MILEY WAS THE SINGER WHO SHINED DURING THIS GRAMMY MOMENT. SHE REMINDS ME OF JANIS JOPLIN AS HER VIBRATO IS SO NATURAL AND SHE HAS THIS EDGINESS TO IT. AS I NEVER HEARD THE SONG PRIOR TO HEARING THE TWO SING IT LAST NIGHT I MUST SAY THAT MILEY WAS INCREDIBLE. IM SURE THE SONG IS AMAZING WHEN TAYLOR DOES IT ON HER OWN TOO.

she is amaziing, and i love taylor. but i think ”fifteen” sounds a little weird in miley’s version, but miley has an awesome voice.

All you people that keep talking your crap on both artist I don’t see any of yall with a record label so shut your traps!!

Taylor is 19..and Miley Cyrus ruined Taylor’s song..Taylor was Amazing and Miley was not.

Taylor blew Miley out of the water! Love herrr

Miley just ruined one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs.

Oh and whoever said Miley was like Janis Joplin…please never, ever make that comparison again. Janis was GREAT, Miley…not so much.

This song was meant to be done like Taylor tried to do it, sweet and simple…and Miley had to over act and try to steal the spotlight.
Taylor would have been SO much better on her own. And I think it would have been amazing for her to have done Forever and Always, cause thats the one she wrote about Joe when they broke up, hahah :)

Taylor and Miley were awesome at the Grammy’s! LOVE THE DUET! I hope it goes on itunes. And I loved Joe Jonas’s man necklace. It was insane! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! Grammy’s were great this year. Mix of old and new. Plus Katie Perry was exciting as always. Love my girlies foeva!! *peace sign* *blow kiss*

Stop hatin on Miley!! She is ahhmazing and you just don’t understand that she is passionate about singing!! I will love her forevs so just stop all this nonsense. Her and taylor just have different sounding voices. Demi Lovato, on the other hand, couldn’t get Paula Abdul to even stand her. oh and Selena Gomez too. They are awful. go back to being nobody best friends. No one cares.

mariah martin @ 02/10/2009 at 9:49 pm

Wow, just what I suspected. A bunch of immature teens talking about how great Taylor and Miley were. Taylor’s voice is to soft and it seems her songs are much bigger than her voice. She’s pretty and all but she isn’t an amazing artist. Miley can’t sing, but she’s got stage presence, which is something Taylor doesn’t have. Listen to REAL music, kids, and maybe you’ll learn.

Anonymous. @ 02/11/2009 at 7:34 am

Taylor Swift looked really pretty in those dresses. :”> :P
Plus, she sings reallyreally well. ^:)^

Miley Cyrus ruined Taylor’s song. She can’t sing well, at all, period. :|
It’s like she’s talking in different tones that sounds awful especially when she tries to hit high notes. :| =)) :-j
But her song “Fly on the Wall” is catchy. =)) AHAHAHA.

I really wanted to see Joe and Nick’s faces, though. =)) HAHA.

Amazing young Talent.Both of them are Great..

It doesn’t matter if Miley out sang Taylor in volume. The point people are trying to make is that Miley can not carry a note.

Miley just RUINED this whole song! It was great… until MILEY showed up! Taylor did an OUSTANDING job while Miley put a loud, noisy siren to our ears.

Taylor- can’t wait 4 da concert June 27!
Miley- sing ya own songs…

Christina @ 02/22/2009 at 6:51 pm

Miley murdered Taylor’s song. I mean I like Miley’s songs and all that but it just looked like she was trying too hard to be better than Taylor… which annoyed be because it’s Taylor’s song not hers.

Taylor may not exactly be the best singer in the world but her singing with her song writing and guitar playing makes her what she is. Which is amazing.

I really like that song. Taylor did amazing and miley is a good singer in her own songs. In this one though, it sounded like miley was just pushing her voice to much.

supergirl @ 06/16/2009 at 9:55 pm

taylor amazing, miley horrible
At the beginning taylor’s voice is soft and calm but miley’s is just too loud and well bad

supergirl @ 06/16/2009 at 9:55 pm

taylor amazing, miley horrible
At the beginning taylor’s voice is soft and calm but miley’s is just too loud and well bad

Oh My God! I love Taylor and everything, but she CANNOT pull that chic black dress off! It looks like a 12 year old girl trying her mommy’s dress! I mean she really doesn’t have the breasts to wear that dress.
Just look at this picture:
