If you thought Taylor Swift sounded a little off on Grammy night, you weren't alone. There's been so much blog buzz and criticism of her song with Stevie Nicks that the head of her record label is defending her performance."This is not American Idol. This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note," Big Machine Records CEO Scott Borchetta told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "This is about a true artist and writer and communicator. It's not about that technically perfect performance."
Borchetta first responded to the backlash in The Tennessean, where he said: "Maybe she's not the best technical singer, but she's probably the best emotional singer because everybody else who gets up there and is technically perfect, people don't seem to want more of it. … She's an extraordinary songwriter and her vocal performances are getting better. Everybody is not perfect on any given day."
Borchetta said Swift had a technical issue Sunday night. "We had a volume problem in the ear. So, she was concerned that she wasn't able to hear everything in the mix," Borchetta said. "That's just part of live TV. ... You're going to have difficulties on occasion."
