Jason Aldean Says He Can’t Distinguish Country’s Females. “They just sound really similar to me.”
Adding to the ongoing discussion about the dearth of female representation in mainstream country today, country superstar Jason Aldean contributed some curious comments to The Washington Post ahead of a show at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, VA on Saturday, September 12th. Speaking to the savvy and emergingly-influential entertainment reporter Emily Yahr, Aldean offered an undoubtedly honest, but unfortunately framed and worded assessment of country’s female stars.
“I feel like a lot of times female singers, to me, when they’re singing and I’ll probably kick myself for saying this a lot of times, it just seems like I can’t distinguish one from the other sometimes if I just listen to them, you know?“ Aldean said. “A lot of times they just sound really similar to me.”
Yes, Jason, you probably will kick yourself for saying that.
The lack of female representation on country radio in recent years has trended so far downward that it now constitutes historic lows, and has caused many inside and out of country music to be concerned females are getting slowly typecast out of the genre as unable to commercially perform. Comments by radio consultant Keith Hill in late May comparing female artists to the tomatoes of a salad and saying point blank, “If you want to make ratings in country radio, take females out,” brought the issue to a fevered pitch. Jason Aldean’s comments come at a time when many people’s antenna are perked, looking out for what is perceived as sexism against country’s female artists.
Jason Aldean did go on to say there were a couple of female country stars he could distinguish from the rest of the crowd, namely the genre’s two remaining superstars, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood.
“…you have some that come out like a Carrie [Underwood] or Miranda [Lambert] or somebody like that, that really has a different, distinctive sound to their voice, then it’s like, oh, okay, you can tell them apart all of a sudden. They go on to be obviously big stars, but I think it’s because you can distinguish between them … Listening to country radio, you always have these labels that are putting out new acts and it’s like, you already don’t know who this person is. So what is going to make you remember them?”
In fairness, Jason Aldean is not the first to point out the sameness of many of today’s country stars. Just last week, country legend Merle Haggard said of today’s country performers, All I hear is the same band, the same sound, and everybody screaming to the ceiling.” However Merle did not distinguish the performers based on gender. Saving Country Music has also pointed out in the past that lumping female performers together, and presenting them on stage sitting on stools in front of microphones for example, may not be the best way for them to showcase their individuality.
But Jason Aldean’s failure to delineate different female stars appears to be more about his own personal perception. As offensive as some female stars not named Miranda or Carrie may find his words, they are also probably a fair representation of the mindset of today’s plodding country music fan, when in fact country’s mainstream female ranks are the last bastion of diversity left in the genre.

It is much harder to tell the bros apart than their female counterparts…this comment seems very rehearsed to me.
September 15, 2015 @ 8:09 am
Abolutely , Megan . I have NO issues differentiating between the female vocalists .
September 15, 2015 @ 8:55 pm
Maybe, maybe not, with respect to the bros in general, as ignore the majority of them, but I think Aldean in particular has an incredibly distinctive voice and sound. While other bros have copied his sound, I don’t think any of them have a voice like his. Love him or hate him, his voice stands out in a crowd, I’d know it was him the moment I hear his voice.
September 17, 2015 @ 6:52 pm
I actually agree here; I think Jason Aldean has quite a distinct voice, along with Blake Shelton, although he is not really a bro so much as a good country singer who turned bro later. Still, in general, it’s much harder to tell the bros apart than the females…I can’t think of two females whom I would classify as having voices and/or style so similar that I would have trouble distinguishing between them. However, Chase Rice, Cole Swindell, Michael Ray, Canaan Smith, Chase Bryant…as far as I am concerned, this is the same guy with five names.
September 14, 2015 @ 6:49 pm
Really?? Someone needs to tell Jason Aldean to quit while he’s behind
September 14, 2015 @ 6:50 pm
Yes, because Kacey Musgraves sounds exactly like Brandi Clark, who of course sounds exactly like Lindi Ortega or Karen Jonas or Lydia Loveless or Whitney Rose or Lucy Hale or Kelsea Ballerini or either of the girls in Maddie & Tae or First Aid Kit…
In other words, Jason Aldean remains an unlikeable prick in every interview he’s ever given.
September 14, 2015 @ 7:31 pm
Kacey Musgraves, Brandi Clarke, Lindi Ortega, Karen Jonas, Lydia Loveless, Whitney Rosy, Lucy Hale, Kelsea Ballerini may all sound different to you, but none are played on mainstream country radio.
September 14, 2015 @ 8:05 pm
Well, none of them except Kelsea Ballerini that is.
September 14, 2015 @ 9:35 pm
Which is why I haven’t turned on mainstream country radio in several months and why several others aren’t either.
September 14, 2015 @ 9:52 pm
The last time I listened they only played males and it sounded like the same song for hours.
September 15, 2015 @ 8:10 am
Exactly
September 15, 2015 @ 3:24 am
Which is all well and good. I just find it funny that an artist comments on the ‘sameness’ of females on country radio and then commenters tear him down. The quote from Aldean appears to be something that we can all agree with. Artists on mainstream country radio all sound similar, including the females.
September 15, 2015 @ 12:49 pm
Even if mainstream artists sound more similar, his theory that radio doesn’t play more than 2 females because he can’t tell them apart because they sound really similar is wrong and discredited those artists. In fact the opposite is true and radio plays many males whose voices and songs sound far more similar to each other and isn’t playing many unique-sounding females. Also, even with auto-tune some of the males can’t sing or carry a tune in a bucket. Funny he didn’t mention “The Truth” or his opinion is biased because he’s one of the men they play. He used to sound more different and his new songs like Burnin’ It Down went generic pop. Radio plays way too many generic pop songs written by bros for bros.
August 1, 2017 @ 10:40 pm
One group sound just like each other and the other group all sound like 12 year olds.
September 14, 2015 @ 6:53 pm
I don’t know why people ask these bros anything. They have nothing worthwhile to say. They open their mouths and you can tell they’re not very smart. They really need to just shut up and cash their checks.
September 14, 2015 @ 6:57 pm
Where is he walking? Did his F-750 run out of gas?
September 14, 2015 @ 7:24 pm
As if I needed ANOTHER reason to hate this talentless fuckhead.
September 14, 2015 @ 7:27 pm
Wow. The lack of self awareness is just blinding sometimes
September 14, 2015 @ 7:32 pm
Really? Because I have the opposite problem. I laugh when I hear Chase Rice’s generic self singing “Chillin’ It!” Or is that Cole Swindell? Thomas Rhett? Tyler Farr? Ugh, how do you tell them apart? They’re all talentless hacks.
September 14, 2015 @ 7:35 pm
Hi Pot. This is Kettle speaking. When can we meet?
September 14, 2015 @ 7:39 pm
I get what he’s saying about needing to distinguish yourself, but did he really have single out the women? I don’t like Kelsea Ballerini but I can tell her apart from Maddie & Tae, Kacey Musgraves or Carrie Underwood because they all have distinct styles. Most male artists in country music however – all trying to be Luke Bryan clones.
September 15, 2015 @ 4:48 am
I completely agree! I think he has it completely opposite. I also do not like Kelsea Ballerini, but I think she has a definite different sound from Maddie & Tae… who sound different than Raelynn (again, who I don’t like), who sounds different from Brandy Clark…. and on and on and on. Does he STILL not realize that most of his songs are STILL the same as just about every other male in the “country” genre… only now, theyre putting them to an EDM beat? Him, Cole Swindell, Luke Bryan, Chase Rice… they all still sing about trucks, rivers, sippin on something, and “damn girl, you look fine!” This is one of the most hypocritical things I’ve ever heard. But then again … what do you expect from someone who had a wife who was with him through high school, supported and encouraged him in his music career, and PUBLICLY cheated on her and left her for that woman?
September 14, 2015 @ 8:10 pm
What an Idiot!!! All the guys sound just like one another…cant tell one dirt bag from the next on the radio right now. He’s so stupid he doesn’t even understand what he’s just said I bet.
September 14, 2015 @ 8:12 pm
He also probably can’t tell the difference between an oil tanker and a Humboldt Squid… that’s the vice of being a moron.
Hmmm, maybe he just can’t tell women apart in general… “Now which one is my wife? I think it’s that one… no wait, that one’s my third mistress… or maybe my fourth…”
September 14, 2015 @ 8:27 pm
Jason can be a little obnoxious and arrogant sometimes and that’s really what you have here. In fact I think he enjoys making comments that put him in the line of fire and into that douchey role for whatever reason.
September 14, 2015 @ 8:28 pm
What a dipshit. Talk about cementing your status as a first rate douchebag. I would pay to see an all female country singer lineup each give him a swift kick in the seeds.
September 14, 2015 @ 8:52 pm
Eh, I honestly don’t think he is all that wrong. I mean, if he is talking about artists like Womack or Musgraves or Underwood, Lambert, etc. etc. then he is dead wrong.
If he is talking about Kelsea Ballerini or Danielle Bradberry…well really all they sound like is diet Taylor Swift.
September 14, 2015 @ 9:10 pm
It’s the fact that he mentioned the FEMALES in country music that pissed me off – what, like Chase Rice and Chase Bryant aren’t the same person (I honestly did think they were the same person for quite a long time).
September 14, 2015 @ 9:31 pm
Oh, you are right the males are just as bad. I mean, Michael Ray is just about the most generic bro-Country artist ever.
September 14, 2015 @ 9:19 pm
That’s a bogus reason to give for radio not playing females and reminds me of Luke Bryan’s take too long to get dressed answer. I can’t think of any females who sound really similar and the males are all about that.
September 14, 2015 @ 9:19 pm
Jason Aldean needs to clean out his ears.
September 15, 2015 @ 4:33 pm
He’d have to take his head out of his ass first.
September 14, 2015 @ 9:22 pm
It’s just another symptom of what’s wrong in mainstream country music: too much sounds the same, male and female alike. You can thank Radio, and the bottom-line driven corporations that own the majority of stations. But yeah, Jason Adean is a jackass. He sings all these songs about his woman not being able to keep her hands off him – maybe in his dreams. At least when Keith Urban sings about that, it’s believable ; )
September 14, 2015 @ 9:39 pm
Just watched Kasey Musgraves on Kimmel. All hype, nothing there. I agree with Jason.
September 14, 2015 @ 9:45 pm
Which artist does she sound really similar to?
September 15, 2015 @ 12:38 pm
Honestly, I think she sounds like Lee Ann Womack. Especially, the first track “High Times.” Other songs on the new album, like Buscuits and Family, she sounds like she’s imitating Miranda Lambert (which I think is an epidemic in country music right now – imitating Miranda Lambert)
September 15, 2015 @ 1:13 pm
Kacey’s voice sounds nothing like Lee Ann’s or Miranda’s and I can easily tell them apart in seconds. As for songs, about the only similarities are they lean traditional. Like almost all females, they sound far more unique than the bros. No one is imitating Miranda and even if they were is that a crime or a good thing? Let’s not confuse inspiration with imitation. Artists are inspired by other great artists. Acts imitate other acts. Monkey see, monkey do. I’d much rather hear those women on the radio than half a dozen FGL wannabe copycats.
September 15, 2015 @ 7:59 pm
Saying you can distinguish between voices doesn’t really say much. It’s not hard to distinguish between bro country voices. I can tell when it’s Luke Bryan or FGL or Thomas Rhett etc. I think saying you can tell their voices apart sort of misses the point.
September 15, 2015 @ 10:39 pm
Huh? Again as for Kacey, Lee Ann and Miranda”™s songs, about the only similarities are they lean traditional. They certainly aren’t trying to make the same songs, unlike the bros who try to and succeed at making the same songs over and over. Also, female voices sound less alike than the males. True, Luke’s voice is one of the more original sounding and I know it’s Rhett when the voice is the most grating and annoying on the radio, but it doesn’t matter if I can distinguish between some males when so many bros recycle the same songs so they all sound the same. FGL are the most original sounding bros and the others are FGL wannabees and copycats.
September 15, 2015 @ 6:54 pm
Didn’t she write one of Miranda’s hit songs? Who’s imitating who?
September 15, 2015 @ 9:09 pm
She does sound like Leann Womack at times, but I think the only reason she sounds remotely similar to Miranda Lambert is because they’re both from the same area in East Texas and share the same distinct accent.
September 14, 2015 @ 9:54 pm
Those who live in glass houses…..
Anyone that turns to Jason Aldean for an informed opinion on anything will be sorely let down.
September 14, 2015 @ 10:37 pm
Of course he can’t distinguish country’s females because we all know if you’ve tasted one tomato…
September 15, 2015 @ 2:23 am
The saddest part about Aldean’s comment is that this startling void of self-awareness seems to reflect the unfathomable disconnect between Music Row’s songwriting cadre and its outskirts at large: which the latter is teeming with obvious and diverse talent all-around.
As infuriating as Aldean’s remarks are in just how clueless they are, what’s even more frightening is how Aldean is far from alone in residing in a bubble with regards to who A and B-artists choose to collaborate with and court song candidates from: resulting in a narrowed perspective.
Look at Aldean’s discography:
*
1) On his debut album, five of the eleven tracks (45%) were co-penned by then-popular tastemaker John Rich. Rich collaborated with Vicky McGehee on all but one of the cuts. Rodney Clawson co-wrote three of the album’s eleven tracks (27%).
2) With Big & Rich declining in popularity, Rich’s credits on “Relentless” diminished to two of its twelve tracks. With 2007 proving to be a decidedly transitional year as far as celebrity songwriters was concerned, the track listing reflects a lack of monopolizing from any particular name: with Rich, McGehee, Clawson, Ashley Gorley, Jim Collins and Brett James all tying for most songwriting credits on the album at two a piece.
3) With “Wide Open”, enter the Wendell Mobley/Neil Thrasher era: otherwise most famous for penning hits for Rascal Flatts and Kenny Chesney. Neil Thrasher co-wrote four of the album’s twelve tracks (33%) Brett James co-wrote three (25%) while Brett James and Wendell Mobley each wrote two. Brantley Gilbert also made his first appearance as a credited writer on an Aldean album with “The Best of Me”.
4) Though “My Kinda Party” consisted of a whopping fifteen tracks, Thrasher co-wrote five tracks (33%), Mobley four (26%).
5) “Night Train” stands as by far Aldean’s most homogenous album to date as far as songwriting credits is concerned. Neil Thrasher co-wrote a whopping eight of the album’s fifteen tracks (53%) with Mobley assisting on six of them (40%). Ben Hayslip and Rhett Atkins of the Peach Pickers, who had already emerged as a ubiquitous songwriting presence on Music Row, influenced two other tracks not related to the Thrasher/Mobley duo, while the ubiquitous Rodney Clawson co-wrote another two tracks. Florida Georgia Line also landed their first songwriting credit on an Aldean album (who Rodney Clawson frequently writes for).
6) With his current album “Old Boots, New Dirt”, Thrasher again appears on five of the album’s fifteen tracks (33%) with Mobley accompanying him on three of them. The Peach Pickers also influence a combined three tracks (20%) among them, Despite the majority of the remaining tracks also revealing familiar tastemaker names, Chris Stapleton does appear credited on one track, as does frequent Dierks Bentley collaborators Brett Beavers and Ross Copperman.
*
I bring this up to raise two points.
Firstly, Aldean’s more recent discography very seldom features females. Hillary Lindsey is the ONLY female with a writing credit on his current album “Old Boots, New Dirt”, while “Night Train” only featured two (Lindsey and McGehee). “My Kinda Party” featured three. Going further back still, McGehee influenced nearly a third of the songs off his eponymous debut album while three different females have writing credits on “Relentless” (though still barely a quarter of the album’s tracks). So even while women have never exactly been ubiquitous on Aldean albums as songwriters, there has been a noteworthy decline from album to album as far as number of female songwriters on an Aldean album is concerned.
Secondly, Aldean’s more recent albums have been monopolized by current flavors of the year as far as songwriters are concerned. That wasn’t nearly as pronounced earlier in his career, even despite John Rich’s popularity at the time Aldean debuted on the scene. This is a reflection not only of Aldean’s output, but of most mainstream male country artists at large, with homogenized themes and interchangeable tropes.
*
Thus, as agonizing as Aldean’s comments remain, it nonetheless isn’t too surprising he’s this tone-deaf.
How can we expect him to be aware when his own discography (along with those of countless other mainstream country/”country”male entertainers) reflects the widening gap between the sexes, along with a correlative decrease in diversity as far as songwriting perspectives is concerned?
September 15, 2015 @ 4:58 am
Aldean’s comments would be spot-on and ironic had they been said about country music in general. That’s why everyone is covering each other’s hits in concert. There was a time when George Strait would never attempt to cover a Hank Jr. song in concer and vice-versus because each had a distinctive sound. Both were country, but they were not interchangeable. I can’t tell a Cole Swindell from a Michael Ray or an Eric Paslay from a Chris Janson.
September 15, 2015 @ 7:10 am
Hmm, I’ve never heard of Michael Ray OR Chris Janson… Which sucks, because apparently I’ve been missing out on some awful music that I could have been insulting all this time….
September 15, 2015 @ 5:05 am
I think he’s commenting on “country radio,” which he is probably very in tune with. His comments aren’t referencing “Country Music,” which he doesn’t seem to have any involvement in. As Jesus said, “Let Caesar have what is Caesar’s.”. In fairness, Some death metal kids once told me that Am on Amarth sounds way different than Lamb of God….sounds the same to me because, like country radio, I don’t listen to any of that shit!
September 15, 2015 @ 5:17 am
It can be tough to explain “irony” to someone, so thank you Jason for providing such a wonderful example that everyone can understand.
His only possible defense is that he gets all his country music from iTunes. If you look at the front page under “Country,” it’s almost always littered with an indistinguishable mass of wannabe pop starlets.
September 15, 2015 @ 5:24 am
I am sure this is just a big echo, but the men are no different in the pop scene. Isn’t that more or less what Haggard was pointing out?
September 15, 2015 @ 5:27 am
somebody needs to turn this bag of tools on to Lindy Ortega, or Karen Jonas!
September 15, 2015 @ 6:07 am
Idiot!
September 15, 2015 @ 7:09 am
So I’ve been a lurker on this site for a long time, but this chaps me enough to comment. I have a hard time distinguishing all of the douches in ball caps singing about “burnin’ it down” and “strippin’ it down” from each other. For the last several years, I’ve turned to mostly Americana artists such as Jason Isbell and Shovels & Rope because of the garbage on country radio. Brandy Clark and Chris Stapleton’s albums are the first country albums I’ve bought in years.
Jason Aldean’s arrogance and hypocrisy dumbfound me.
September 15, 2015 @ 7:47 am
Yes, “Burning it Down” & “Strip it Down” are very much alike. Any wonder why Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan are BEST friends….they even sound the same when asked about certain topics in their own genre. All Bro Country is just carbon copied for the next one Music Row pushes out of their factory. Casey Musgrave and Brandy Clark have different sounds,as where Ashley Monroe and Lidi Ortrega are very different sounding. So, no all female country singers Do Not sound the same. IMO.
September 15, 2015 @ 7:19 am
Too funny. I have always had the same complaint about mainstream female country artists. I can’t tell a single one of them apart (other than Musgraves, if you count her as mainstream country.) On the other hand, there are many great and distinct female country singers apart from the mainstream, but that isn’t what he was talking about. And as pointed out above, the same thing goes for the guys. All the auto-tuned bros sound the same to me too.
September 15, 2015 @ 7:28 am
Don’t blame Jason. All he sings is garbage songs. All his friends is talentless guys like Rhett,Chase & Cole.
That’s the world he lives.
September 15, 2015 @ 7:50 am
Don’t forget his BFF the “Prince of Bro Country” Luke Bryan.
September 15, 2015 @ 7:42 am
You can’t make this stuff up. I’m sure this reflects on how he sees women in general.
September 15, 2015 @ 8:04 am
Are this dick’s 15 minutes up yet?
September 15, 2015 @ 8:09 am
The sad thing is this could have been a helpful statement, if he had simply put it into the context of which female artists are allowed to be played on the radio and what sort of songs they’re allowed to sing by the Powers That Be.
And while it’s surely true that male artists work under similar constraints, plainly female artists are squashed into such a small box that only a few will “fit”.
September 15, 2015 @ 8:27 am
Oh, Jason Aldean. I am reminded once again of Bill Whittle’s description of Janeane Garofalo:
“One must go back all the way to Vanilla Ice to witness so much attitude in front of so little talent.”
September 15, 2015 @ 8:52 am
Meh, Jason Aldean doesn’t really strike me as being the sharpest knife in the drawer, anyway. So this is a bummer but not too surprising.
September 15, 2015 @ 8:59 am
I think Mr. Aldean is so dull he makes bananas look as sharp as meat cleavers.
September 15, 2015 @ 9:12 am
Every time I hear “They’re Sure Gonna Know We Were Here,” I get concerned about what exactly that might mean. How are they gonna know you were here, Jason? ARe you going to burn something down? What??
September 15, 2015 @ 8:53 am
I agree with Jason, especially on the newer female singers. He did say he wasn’t talking about Miranda or Carrie. Miranda has a distinctive voice and in my opinion Carrie has the best voice in country music, female or male.
The newer ones these labels are pushing mostly have weak or mediocre voices and are being pushed down our throats by the big labels. There are plenty such as Kelsea Ballerini, who is god awful! Also,Jana Kramer was being pushed a couple years ago, and her lack of talent has already caused her to fade away, just like it will with Ballerini. Kasey Musgraves had a couple good songs but she is limited vocally and no different than a million girls around the country singing in local clubs.
September 15, 2015 @ 9:14 am
I do agree that most of the females being pushed by mainstream country radio tend to be bland…of course that’s not limited to females. I think Jason probably is not hanging out on, say Saving Country Music in search of new and distinctive voices.
September 15, 2015 @ 10:27 am
I think Aldean is just talking about the radio females.
September 15, 2015 @ 8:18 pm
All of the females are better than the bros. And the many mediocre and awful males like Thomas Rhett being pushed down our throats by the big labels don’t fade away and have four #1 singles in a row because (multiple choice)?
1. They are fantastic singers, even better than Carrie Underwood, and use plenty of auto-tune just because they can.
2. They sell more albums than Kacey Musgraves, top critics lists and win album of the year.
3. Country radio plays mediocre males and doesn’t play females with equally good and better music.
September 15, 2015 @ 10:25 am
Not to defend Jason Aldean, but I think when he said females in country music, he was talking about the ones that played on the radio. In that context, his comments, at least, have some sort of understanding, but he could really learn to articulate better.
It is like the Haggard comments from earlier, obviously not all current country music sounds the same, Haggard was just making a generalization for a wider point.
September 15, 2015 @ 11:00 am
Except he was COMPLIMENTING the few that DO receive airplay: namely Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert. He name-dropped them and proceeded to say they have gone “on to be obviously big stars, but I think it”™s because you can distinguish between them.”
It may just be my interpretation, but I felt he was speaking in a generalized sense. Why I get that feeling is because Aldean has acknowledged repeatedly that he is in tune with what Mainstream Top 40 plays, and Mainstream Top 40 has generally been the reversal as far as the sexes is concerned in that it is teeming with female entertainers, while solo male acts traditionally have had a more challenging time developing into staple acts. Bruno Mars certainly is an exception to the rule, The Weeknd appears poised to be as well and it is possible Justin Bieber and Nick Jonas can make it happen (Pitbull is inconsistent with his chart history, and, sorry, just don’t see it happening for Jason Derulo, Sam Smith, Adam Lambert or Charlie Puth),…………………but beforehand Justin Timberlake was the only reliably consistent male hitmaker, while it is an aggressively competitive field for females. Between Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, Tove Lo, Rachel Platten, Meghan Trainor, Nicki Minaj, P!nk, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Ellie Goulding and Miley Cyrus, and perhaps Adele, Lorde, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Paramore (led by Hayley Williams) upon attempts at comebacks as well…………….it’s a brutal field…………….and while there is some variation between all these names (especially Adele, Ellie Goulding, Lorde and Nicki Minaj)…………….I do hear frequently from many who listen to pop music that they can’t tell the female vocalists apart like they can the few males that are steady hitmakers.
Perhaps Aldean’s appreciation for Mainstream Top 40 is clouding his perception of mainstream country music’s demographics?
September 15, 2015 @ 12:56 pm
Why Aldean is popular is so beyond my pay grade. I see his attitude, his hyper good ole boy demeanor, and the way he sings- as if it pained him to open his mouth, and I wonder why on earth anyone buys into that crap. He is a growler without charm or musical uniqueness. That he once again said something stupid, or did something stupid isn’t a surprise. What is a surprise is how he has maintained a career for this long.
September 15, 2015 @ 1:24 pm
this bloke knows what he’s talking about I mean after all if you look in the dictionary he is the very DEFINITION of originality! (in case Aldean ever reads this… ya know assuming he CAN read I feel I should point point that I was using sarcasm just now!)
September 15, 2015 @ 1:42 pm
He has a point that country females on the radio, outside of Carrie and Miranda, are a little bland. Of course, that’s because the radio machine ran off the old originals or won’t give the new ones a shot.
Man, I miss the days of Martina McBride, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Reba, Patty Loveless, Pam Tillis, and yep, I’ll say it proudly, those Dixie Chicks. We had a wealth of female artists, all with original styles, and all with important stuff to say. And it wasn’t all that long ago.
September 15, 2015 @ 7:34 pm
Me too
September 22, 2015 @ 7:11 am
You know something? I miss mainstream country playing Taylor Swift like Mean. Taylor Swift hasn’t do mainstream country since Red and Taylor Swift’s pop songs like I Knew You Were Trouble ruined Taylor Swift’s mainstream country. I hate Taylor Swift is a pop singer appearance. I’m sick of Taylor Swift is pop music appearance. Why can’t Taylor Swift make anymore mainstream country? I want my mainstream country Taylor Swift back. I hate Taylor Swift-less mainstream country. 2010s was not a good decade for mainstream country. All 2010s music does these days is country music-less 2010s music and avoid 2010s country. Stupid today’s America.
September 15, 2015 @ 4:28 pm
Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan open their hole in their mouth way too much and say stupid things. They are both hot headed and clueless. Plus some of their songs are stupid.
September 15, 2015 @ 4:37 pm
I can hear each individual singer’s voice when Little Big Town sings together. I always assumed Jason Aldean was tone deaf, based on his alleged singing, but this confirms my assumption as being correct.
September 15, 2015 @ 4:53 pm
Oh, the irony of asking someone with zero musical talent and substance a question about talent and substance in current music……..
September 15, 2015 @ 7:07 pm
If I want the name of a bar where I can troll for strange I’ll ask this cock knuckle,but I don’t need his opinion on music it’s clearly a subject he knows nothing about.
September 15, 2015 @ 8:46 pm
Jason Aldean need to change his name to JASON ALDUMB.

What a dick. I rarely listen to country radio but the other day my sister and I gave it a shot. We got about 15 songs in and we looked at each other at the same time and said “Has the same song just played 15 times?”. Common factor here? They were all songs by males.

i used to like him, but then again I used to wet the bed and poop my pants until I grew out of it. Except for Brad Paisley, all the guys in country sing the same song.

That’s rich coming from someone who only ever does what everyone else is doing.

Hey guess what, if it weren’t for the flies landing on it, I couldn’t tell the difference between a fresh pile of shit and a Jason Aldean song.
