Ohhh! You have to be able to sing too?
Last night's awards show was nothing to write home about, it was "just another awards show". However, before you jump to read the winners, I want to first say to ABC, don't EVER let Scott Weiland introduce anything again. His slur made me sad, and I don't know if they thought they were doing him a favor by letting him introduce Pink's "Sober", but his intro just brought more attention to his drug problem (or former problem)...NOT POSITIVE.
Everything else was typical...New Kids were great (took me back to elementary school for a second), Pink was great, and so was everyone else in my eyes except for Taylor Swift. I just don't get her appeal. I get that she's cute and young, but her voice makes me want to take a bath with my hair dryer. Ugh. Okay, I'm done now complaining now.

I didn't watch this show. There's so little to care about in current music. To answer your question, I think Taylor Swift is a more-talented Jewel. So whatever Jewel's appeal was (I'm still not sure), Taylor has ...um, perhaps, more of it.
