    1. Lang? Hindi “lang” yung statement na yun. Wala naman nagsabi na gustuhin nya si taylor, pero why discredit her songwriting?

    2. Imagine someone Discrediting ur life's work, magiging fan ka pa din ba. Lol

    1. Taylor Swift is the Kris Aquino of music.

    2. 11:48PM Ok obviously hindi po kayo nakikinig ng British Rock kasi hindi nyo po kilala si Damon Albarn na may OBE - Order of the British Empire. He's an English musician. Vocalist of Blur and Gorillaz. May commemorative plaque pa sa London where he was brought up.

      Nakakahiya naman kay Taylor Swift. Sino ba kasi si Damon Albarn para magsalita ng ganyan #Sarcasm

      Delete
    3. Considering his status in the music industry, I doubt he even considers Taylor as a songwriter or great artist. Mediocre at best siguro.

      Delete
    4. 12:28 ty for correcting.

      Delete
    5. Well..to be honest, taylor is just a so-so in the music industry. Maybe she uses her charm to sell albums lang. But the lyrics of her songs were too shallow. At di din naman kagandahan ang boses.

      Delete
    6. 12:49, regardless of someone's status or achievements, mali parin na mang discredit ng "ginawa" kaya nakakahiya talaga kay Taylor yung ginawa ni Albarn. At huwag mong ma open open ang about sa awards and achievements kasi marami niyan si Taylor.

      BTW, nag apologize na si Albarn. Ibig sabihin, ina-acknowledge niya yung mali niya.

      "I totally agree with you. I had a conversation about songwriting and sadly it was reduced to clickbait. I apologise unreservedly and unconditionally. The last thing I would want to do is discredit your songwriting. I hope you understand."

      Delete
    7. 12:49 Tita here and I'm a fan of Blur. Not happy that he accused Taylor of not writing her own songs, dapat may proof or insider info sya or else he can be sued. Doesn't matter kung big guy sya sa industry or not, his words are damaging to someone's professional reputation. Marites lang?

      Delete
    8. 12:49 obviously, lipas na ang panahon niya. Sino nga ba kaso si Damon Albarn, di naman siya kilala sa panahon ngayon?

      And to think na may order order of the british empire pa siya pero nangdidiscredit ng kapwa niya artists sa life’s work nila? Parang hindi dasurb HAHAHAHHAHA

      Delete
    9. 12:57 / 12:59 LOL Damon Albarn kamo is "lipas & hindi dasurb" but he was humble enough to apologize. May article sa BBC.

      Delete
    10. 12:57 PM - this tita agrees with you. The whole thing puzzles me. Not even him getting sued, just issuing a mema statement like this to put a younger recording artist down leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I'd say midlife crisis ni Damon but even it it is, it's not an excuse.

      Delete
    11. Kesehodang sino pa siya, slanderous ang sinabi nya. Pwede siyang sampahan ng kaso ni Taylor because everyone knows she writes her own songs.

      Delete
    12. 12:49 wala naman kaming pake sa achievements ng Damon ewan na yan.. wala parin syang karapatan idiscredit si taylor

      Delete
    13. I agree with the lipas na ang panahon. As some1 who listens to 80s rock, i tried listening to Gorillaz and Blur pero I don’t find them appealling. Iba na ang music tastes ng kabataan ngayon. Sorry damon albarn fans here

      Delete
    14. Mga ka-FP, eto example: Am I discrediting or nilalait ko ba sina Celine Dion, Beyonce, etc if I say they don't write their own songs? Singers collaborate with producers and songwriters kasi. It's a well known fact in the music industry diba. Taylor does this too. She reacted kasi as if she's the SOLE author of ALL her songs.

      Obvious mga Taylor fans dito 😉

      Delete
    15. Gurl hindi na young si taylor swift. Tanda nya na pero puro bf pa din ang theme ng songs nya

      Delete
    16. 7:26 News flash for you, nagproproduce siya ng sarili niyang kanta at siya rin lang talaga ang nagsusulat ng mga kanta niya? Gaano ba kahirap paniwalaan yun? Shineshare niya dati sa socmed niya ang process pre-reputation era. Naging mas private na siya after her hiatus. Too bad you can't appreciate self-built hard work.

      11:48 hindi na nga siya young. baka rerecorded albums ang napakinggan mo na syempre she wrote when she was younger. Reputation to her Evermore, pakinggan mo. Para kabahan ka sa mga sinasabi mo.

      Delete
  3. Well Taylor writes her songs, not saying na di sya magaling but her lyrics are simple and relatable

    Anyone can be a songwriter anyway just write what you feel obviously ibang usapan na may mga mag arrange at lalagyab ng melody and so on

    ReplyDelete
  4. Napaka simple lang ng mga songs ni taylor no sya talaga sumulat yan haha and she's an overrated song writer by the way
    Ang mga magagaling na songwriters now ay sina lady gaga, bruno mars, adele, sia, Ryan tedder

    2. Ditto.

      I also think that she’s overrated. Very simple lang mga kanta nya compare to let’s say Adele or Beyonce. She’s also in her 30s na pero pang teenagers pa rin ang mga songs nya.

      Delete
    3. Agree. Kaya pumatok songs niya because it's relatable. The melodies get stuck in your head din. And isnt that the formula for a hit mainstream song haha

      Delete
    4. Gosh finally someone said it! I dont get the hype with taylor swift actually. Maybe coz she's beautiful? Or maybe ung songs nya is ung melody pang bagets? But ang lyrics ang babaw lang.

      Delete
    5. Whether you like her songs or not is irrelevant. Damon discredited her songwriting and that is OBJECTIVELY wrong. He then proceeded to “apologize” by saying he was misquoted but the article just quoted him verbatim.

      Delete
    6. Teen ager pa lang ako, pang teenager na songs ni Taylor. Now mag32 na 'ko. Nastuck na ba si Taylor?

      Delete
    7. 1:29 shake it off lang ba alam mo? Hahahaha

    8. 12:52 AM - Beyonce is pretty simple too and she's theatrical like Gaga without the depth though - she's gorgeous and glamorous with a great set of pipes but that's really it. Gaga's lyrics are simple but her theatrical approach is note worthy and the only thing "artsy" about her. To Taylor's credit, she doesn't try to go high brow with mediocre lyrics the way Beyonce does. Adele is simple too but her vocals are exceptional and she isn't pretentious like Beyonce and Gaga are. These women excel in their own way, I don't see the point in putting one down in favor of another because they are all POP artists and the genre by nature is mababaw because it needs to be accessible to sell.

      If you want depth, substance, something poignant and authentic, something more highbrow - don't listen to pop. The moment an artist crosses over to pop, they shed artistic integrity because they need to. Otherwise they won't be promoted, distributed and ultimately make sales.

    9. gusto ko kay Taylor yung masterful storytelling ng mga kanta nya tulad ng Back to December, All Too Well.

      Delete
    10. Taylor knows her market well.

      Unfair ang mundo, ganun talaga. Kung talent ang sukatan ng yaman, bakit mas mayaman si Kim Kardashian kesa kay Madonna?

      Delete
    11. "Taylor can write better songs by herself, without help, than 99.99% of living writers. How this was challenged by Damon or anyone is pure stupidity / jealousy. People need to not talk so much." - Ryan Tedder

    12. Mga teh, andaming songs with deep lyrics ni taylor. Pakinggan niyo folklore at evermore album niya.

      Delete
    13. Obviously yung mainstream songs lang ni TS ang alam nyo. Makapagjudge kayo akala nyo naman narining nyo na lahat ng songs nya which is hundreds and counting pa. Kung gusto nyo deep, wag kayo makinig ng pop.

  5. Naku wait mo yung song na isusulat ni taylor sayo good promo din yan sa next na i re release ni Taylor na naman hahaha

    1. Her vocal power isn’t even that strong compare mo kahit kay Arianna man lang. Plus her songs are very high school-ish basta nde ko ma-explain lol

      Delete
    3. Very true. Her voice is thin and shaky and even out of tune when she sings live. And her songs are so shallow and childish.

      Delete
    4. High-school-ish naman talaga. Pero gulat ako kasi yung mga contemporaries ko gusto si Taylor. Ako lang talaga may ayaw. 33 na nga pala me.

      Delete
    5. Maybe listen to ‘Folklore’ before you come for her songwriting skills lol

  7. Well dedma kung di naniniwala ang iba na she writes dahil may co writer. Sa totoo lang i never like Taylor. Di ako nagagalingan at all. Shake it off..players gonna play haters gonna hate...ay 3LW song ba to?

    3. Same observation. Buti pa nung pahanon ko, meron Alanis Morrisete at Cynthia Alexander. Yun ang mga tunay na magaling na lyricists. Si Brandon Boyd din ng Incubus, maganda at malalim ang lyrics.

    5. I'm not a fan 1:39pm. Nakilala ko si Taylor sa Love Story song nya. Late 2000s yun diba? Eh parang walang pinagkaiba ang old and current songs nya when it comes to lyrics. Pop music kasi and that's what sells 😑

    7. Gurl 1:39pm ang alam ko lng is ung shake it off na tinalo ang despacito para di maging 17wks number 1 at matalo si mariah. Btw, Mariah’s shake it off is a million times better than hers

    8. 9:22 it's NOT TRUE that all her songs are about boys, you obviously haven't heard of Ronan, Best Day, Clean.. none is memorable daw, baka di ka taga Earth

  10. He can accuse Taylor of capitalizing on her breakups but not about her not writing her songs

  11. Hahahahaha. All her songs are just juvenile nonsense anyway. Lol.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Well, the truth is that she is not really a good singer and she writes very simplistic songs. She is way way overrated. Her success is by knowing her audience who are mostly teens and preteens and they are the ones buying and streaming songs nowadays.

    ReplyDelete
  13. People here commenting that her songs are simple and she doesn't have high vocals, and that she doesn't deserve the awards. She wrote her won songs, the notes with lyrics, stop discrediting her just because you find it shallow. Her music sells, simple yet relatable,many people enjoys her music. Aanhin mo yung sobrang taas na vocals at malalim na lyrics?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Mas gusto ko ang malalim na lyrics at mataas na boses. Kung ikumpara mo sa mga songs nung 90's singers and bands ang mga kanta ni Taylor Swift, mas angat talaga sila. Kaya nga respected by elders ang mga icons nung 90's. Pambata kasi talaga ang lyrics ni Taylor Swift. Maraming beses ko sinubukan pakinggan ang mga kanta niya, maraming beses ko binigyan ng chance ang music niya, hindi ko talaga nagustuhan. Kaya siya sikat dahil maganda at mayaman siya.

      Delete
  14. Mababaw lyrics? Shake it off lang ba alam niyong kanta niya? LOL Obviously wala kayo alam sa discography niya.

    2. 10:50 same thoughts! Mas malalim kaya lyrics ng ibang songs ni Taylor, like many other country music na gut wrenching. Melody ay siguro simple lang, pero yung lyrics mahirap gawin kaya yung storytelling through songs.

      Delete
    3. In fairness, mababaw rin ang All too well. At obvious sa lyrics and sa music video na si Taylor Swift ang toxic sa relationship and hindi yung mga exes niya. Lol.

      Delete
    4. Malamang. Lol, not a fan of Taylor pero jusko yung songs nya parang everywhere naririnig mo. Hindi nman tlaga sya magaling kumanta pero madaling matandaan ang kanta at lyrics ng songs nya. Parang pang lovestruck teenager ang songs nya. Btw, as someone na nasa 30 na, parang sa kanya na nagstop ang mga kantang alam ko. Lol

    5. Mariah’s shake it off is much better.

    6. halatang love songs lang ni Taylor ang alam nila, so sad

    7. 11:55 Kanina ka pa sa Shake It Off ni Maria...Lol

      Delete
  15. Looks like most people here just know her mainstream singles like Shake It Off and Me! She's an "album artist". Perhaps it's about time to do your own research why she's still that big of an artist. Try to listen to her music, every album, without prejudice. Try niyo lang. Umpisahan niyo sa Ronan, Innocent, Change, Dear John, Enchanted... or the recent ones Champagne Problems, Tolerate It, August, Exile, and Mirrorball. It's a goldmine out there.

  20. Hindi ako fan ni Taylor pero nung natuto ako mag-play ng musical instruments (I still consider myself as a beginner haha), I appreciate her as an artist. Yes, some of her melodies and lyrics are simple pero ung process is hindi madali. I understand kung bakit ganyan yung reaction nya

    ReplyDelete
  21. The nerve of some people to call her songs "mababaw". Research muna kayo sa mga other records niya (Folklore, Evermore) at malalaman niyo bakit maraming grammy's iyan. Makacomment lang, halatang mga pop songs lang alam ng mga Marites lol

  22. I go for Mariah Careh, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston when it comes to power vocal chords at saludo ako sa kanila. Although Taylor does not come close to them, na appreciate ko rin ang style nya. Hindi naman pwede lahat nalang singers biritan ang sukatan.

    What I like about TS is that aside from writing her own songs, she knows how to play different instruments (guitar, drums, piano). Ito yung matatawag kong musician talaga coz hindi lang singing alam nya. In other words, she's multi-talented.

    Like some of you here, I'm also a tita. A Tita who appreciates old and new music and different genre.

  23. She writes her own songs. She also helped write songs like This is what yoy came for, safe & sound, two is better than one. No need to discredit her. Did you know that she started writing when she was 12 years old?

  25. Lol. Mga comments dito kala mo mga songwriters hahaha.
    You have no right to judge her songwriting skills unless you ever tried writing a song before and if ever you did, napasikat mo ba? Naka-relate ba sa milliong tao? If not.. then ur just a basher hahaha

    ReplyDelete
  26. She can write her songs naman, though sobrang babaw ng lyrics at minsan may patama pa for a certain people.. I've appreciate her only sa tatlo niyang kanta - Mean, Safe and Sound, Ivy

  28. nag apologize na si damon. kahit love ko siya, ang foul ng sinabi niya. he shouldn't have assumed anything. compared to Billie and Lorde na way younger than Taylor, parang na stuck si Taylor sa highschool with her songwriting? and most of her hit songs are about romantic love which alienates people like me na never na-inlove which is fine because I pay attention to the melody the most. ang maganda naman talaga kay Taylor is yung melody ng songs niya and to think she produced so many catchy songs is a big deal. Fave song ko from her is Welcome to New York. I can't believe di sumikat yun.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 8:57 do you even listen to her new albums? Baka ang pinakinggan mo ay yung mga rerecorded which is sinulat niya noong younger siya, obviously. Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, yan na ang latest albums niya ngayon. Try mo pakinggan. 1989 is so 2014.

      Delete
  29. Some of the people in the comments clearly need to get on to listening to Folklore lol.

    ReplyDelete
  30. It doesn't matter if Swift's lyrics or music is mababaw and always about boys. What matters is Damon accused her of not writing her own songs. He didn't say she doesn't write some of her song or that she collaborates - he made a sweeping statement that has the effect of declaring that it's a fact that "she never wrote any of her songs".

    This is wrong no matter how you see it. It doesn't matter if Damon is the better musician. He made a false statement that is damaging to Swift's person and profession. He should have known better and he should be held accountable.

    So please hindi to dapat away kung magaling ba si Swift or not. It's not the issue. Damon lied when he made that declaration.

    Grabe talaga ang iba, ipagtatanggol pa kung sino ang sinungalin. Ooops iba na ata to. Char!!!
