    Default Def Leppard

    They are going on tour this month with Poison and Cheap Trick and are on CMT awards tonight. Anyone going to any of the shows or watching the award show tonight?

    Can't make it to any shows but I did check out the CMT awards last night.

    I love DL, but I'm pretty sick of Taylor Swift. The hair flopping has got to stop! Why doesn't she just 'take over'! I thought she sounded awful on Pour Some Sugar on me. DL would have sounded better without her. jmo!

    I think TS is a very talented young lady, but all the fame and fortune is 'going to her head'.

    As for DL, I just can't quite see them 'going country'!

    Ok--so even tho I HATE country, I had to look at youtube for a video of this performance last night. I'm sorry- but that was just funny! Brooke-I TOTALLY AGREE with you--she was just a little over the top with all the hair swinging and strutting, especially when you consider she is strutting around on a stage with a band that was probably popular before she was born. I remember seeing her on whatever country awards those were that I had to sit thru the WHOLE thing to see the Eagles, singing that song in the wedding gown... I really wasn't that impressed then and less so with last nights performance. Don't shoot me anyone....just MHO.

    And what's up with DL? Are they really trying to go country? No matter how you slice it, that performance was NOT country! Why were they even on the show? Am I missing something?

    And in answer to FFL's original question. I will have to check for dates around here because that would be a great show. Have seen them all but how great would it be to see them all in the same show. LOVE Cheap Trick especially!!!!

    They actually did a Crossroads Special with Taylor a few months ago. I haven't seen it. Don't want to. JMHO, too!

    I would love to see all those bands together though.

    I thought the whole hair flip thing was awesome, and I realize I am in the minority here when it comes to Taylor.

    Here's what I wrote in the 2008 CMA Awards thread about TS.

    Okay, I'm continuing to watch the CMA's...

    Can somebody explain the Taylor Swift appeal? This is the second time I've seen her perform (I think last time was on last year's CMA's) and to me she's not a very good singer or performer. I guess I like female vocalists who have some vibrato in their voice and she has none. I realize she's young but how did she get this far?

    My opinion hasn't changed by watching this video. But how great did DL sound? Good performance by them, but on a country music awards show? I agree with TBF - what are they doing there?

    I think she appeals to the younger generation such as myself.
