So today was the day the lovely Taylor Swift graced the live lounge with her super smooth voice and equally matched guitar skills. If you havent already heard her in the live lounge, its worth a few moments of your time to check it out, shes seriously brilliant in a live setting!
As you all probably know, the layout of the live lounge means that the artist performs an original song, and also a cover of an artist or band they like. Taylor decided to perform her single 'the story,' and her cover was the brilliant choice of 'white blank page,' by the fantastic Mumford & Sons.
The cover was quite accurately described as 'haunting,' by one radio 1 listener, and id totally agree with that! What a fantastic voice for singing these folk songs, she didnt even sound like a country singer. Her voice was smooth, soft and silky, and her guitar playing was just sublime. I know its very difficult to play very well and sing very well together, usually one is slightly comprimised, but here she manages both effortlessly...a true professional!What i love about Taylor is that she comes across so lovely and sweet, and i truely believe this is what shes like in real life, she just seems very genuine and down to earth, and thats one of the main things i look for in a popstar.
Anyway, you can check out both songs at www.bbc.co.uk/radio1 and make up your own mind... dont forget to post your comments on what you thoughts!!!
