    I keep the volume down to a reasonable level so that might make a difference, but I didn’t find the voice that irritating.

    The lyrics rather quickly became boring, but that’s another issue.

    Oh. My. I’m not sure why, but I found it hilarious. And I did a minute. Somebody certainly paid for decent production values, the dancing is horribly stiff, her costume, the “sexiness”-what can I say, it’s pure awful fun.

    I was captured by the sheer deeply mixed messaging put out by the bleached raccoon playing naughty teacher and blathering about 3 seconds while leering at stereotyped cowboy objects in jeans. I think the part of my brain devoted to musical processing suffered a fatal error early on and shut down which is why I lasted as long as I did.

    The cowboys were better looking than she was. I presume most of them were gay and jumped at the chance to appear in a video. This sort of negates the whole issue of them longing to gaze at her.

    About 35 seconds. Bring back Rebecca Black, please.

    For contemporary country voice male, I like Josh Turner, although the songs are nothing special. For contemporary country voice female, I can count her as a contemporary and a classic if she’s still singing, right? – I still love Emmylou Harris. She also did some very nice non-country duets with Mark Knopfler that I like.

    Since its an open thread, and we’re talking about losers and loser activities:

    Politics in Minnesota reports that Massachusetts-based Hub Properties Trust has filed paperwork in Ramsey County to evict the MNGOP from the Capitol Office Building space the party had been “renting.”

    That’s right, ladies and gentlemen: The Minnesota State GOP has stiffed their landlord for $100K. And is being evicted.

    The party of personal responsibility says F.U. to every underwater mortgagee but can’t honor its’ own contract, goes deeply into hock, and leaves a fellow capitalist holding the bag for 100 grand.

And I’m no musician, so I could be wrong here, but it seemed to me like she was having trouble hitting the right notes. It was like she wasn’t utterly tone deaf; she could get near the right notes fairly consistently. She could get into the tune’s neighborhood, but she just couldn’t find the right house.

    No, she’s for real. From her website with her other music:

    Lisa Gail began singing in the Texas Girls Choir. Throughout her school years she participated in piano, choir and band. She won several awards for her performances including UIL competitions with her flute and voice. Lisa also grew up singing in an acapella church!
    In high school she accompanied piano for area elementary choirs as they performed at their schools. Watch out for this Texas girl she is about to launch two new albums she has been working on one for her spiritual songs which include songs Lisa Gail has written herself and with the help of her producer and voice coach Corley Luke Randolph who has created the melodies for her songs she has written.
    Her other album will be fun songs that she has written along with songs she is singing!

    @Forum Transmitted Disease: Not surprising to anyone who works in public higher ed.

    The only part of public universities that are economically viable right now are athletics. State funding is typically only to be used for education on a per-capita basis, and tuition increases haven’t been enough to offset the state budget subsidies, so schools are often losing money on each in-state student. Out of state students typically bring enough tuition with them to cover costs.

    The headline presents that there’s a dollar shift from CS to athletics, but there isn’t. The state is reducing funding, so education needs to be cut because that’s what the state pays for. ESPN is increasing funding, so athletics can grow because that’s what ESPN pays for. Those dollars basically never mix.

    Part of the tragedy of being tone deaf for people who like to sing is that you don’t know you are tone deaf because you can’t hear yourself being off key because you are tone deaf.

    I managed to watch the whole video. What I found interesting is that toward the end I began to see brown hair under the blonde… so either she’s wearing a wig on-top of her own hair or she has a weird dye job where they dye top layers of her hair and leave the bottom layers natural.

    On singing: I cannot hit or copy a note but if I stand/sit next to someone I can copy what they are singing. The choir director at my church used this to help the Alto (who had a good true alto but no power to her voice). I could copy her and undergird her singing. So for several years he could have us sing a load of older hymns and Bach pieces in 4-parts and have the parts heard out in the church. Believe me, I do not sing by myself in front of people — just can’t.

    Hell, just about every country song I hear has a voice this annoying and lyrics this awful.

    You’ve probably mainly only been exposed to modern “commercial country” (as in, what gets played on stock-format commercial FM-radio stations), which is a bastardized crossover mix of whatever’s fashionable in commercial pop/rock/and now hip-hop music and superficial country instrumentation and clothing, though diluted and toned down. It is indeed truly awful stuff.

    The real honest-to-god traditional country genre is something else altogether, and can be quite wonderful and affecting, and the upbeat stuff can knock your socks off. If you have Sirius/XM satellite radio, take a listen to channel 60 (the “Outlaw” station) and see what you think.

    See, I’m the one ya’ll are going to hate in a few more cycles: a liberal. Killjoy, amirite?

    Dude, you’re the kind of liberal who thinks we shouldn’t criticize Ann Romney for having a horse masseuse because all horse owners are exactly alike, so if we criticize one overly-rich horse owner who spends more money on her horses in a single year than most Americans make in their entire working lives, that means we HATE HORSES OMG!

    I watched the whole thing. If you are going to go through this much trouble to make something like that, the least I can do is see it through. I hope my vanity projects look this good when I’ve finally married into the benjamins. I’ll even pay the sexy cowboys in cash.

    Reminds of an assignment from art school for a video production class. “Produce a 2.5 minute public service announcement spot on (pick a disease) for the (pick a demograqphic) citizen.” Man, if we could have produced something of this quality, it would’ve been fricken awesome. Digital fricken rules.

    Can we pool some money to ship her a case of Fix-a-Flat?

    To be fair, she’s still better than the singer in the band I was in a few years ago. The lead guitar player brought in…his wife. Nice lady, but kind of hard to listen to when she sang.

    Made it through the whole thing–then followed up with some soothing Metallica to burn it out of my ears.
