Ok so it doesnt come out until tomorrow, and I probably wont do my review until Wednesday, but I just wanted to let everyone know how AMAZINGLY EXCITED I am. A couple of the songs from the album have already been released and I am so pumped to hear the rest. They are so amazing! If you even remotely like Taylor Swift, please go out and grab a copy to support her. She deserves it, really. And I think you all should check out her myspace (its public, so you dont have to have an account). She's an amazing girl, and it really shows in her blogs, videos, and of course, songs. If you wanna know what you're in for with Fearless, check out her latest blog titled "it all comes down to this" and her latest video called "November 11th". The video has lots of awesome things in it, like her going with her mom to vote, playing with some Taylor Swift barbies at Wal-Mart, and much more. Sorry, this was pretty long. But I just wanted to share my excitement with all of you!

Ok I'm kinda gonna give you a sneak peak of the review that I'm gonna do by saying my absolute favorite quotes from each of the songs to keep you happy until I actually write the review. And trust me, its probably gonna be long and repetative.
Fearless- "But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair. Absentmindedly makin me want you."
Fifteen- "In your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team, I didn't know it at fifteen."
Love Story- "Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone. I love you and thats all I really know."
Hey Stephen- "Hey Stephen, I could give you 50 reasons why I should be the one you choose. All those other girls, well theyre beautiful, but would they write a song for you?"
White Horse- "I'm not your princess, this aint a fairytale. I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well."
You Belong With Me- "Dreamin' bout the day when you'll wake up and find that what you're lookin for has been here the whole time."
Breathe- "And we know its never simple, never easy. Never a clean break, no one here to save me."
Tell Me Why- "I take a step back, let you go. I told you I'm not bullet-proof, now you know."
You're Not Sorry- "And its taken me this long, baby but I figured you out. And your thinkin we'll be fine again, but not this time around."
The Way I Loved You- "Breakin down and comin undone, its a roller coaster kinda rush."
Forever & Always- "Baby, what happened? Please tell me cuz one second it was perfect now you're halfway out the door."
The Best Day- "Don't know how long its gonna take to feel ok, but I know I had the best day with you today."
Change- "And the battle was long, its the fight of our lives, but we'll stand up champions tonight."
Alright so hopefully that entertained you for a few minutes haha.

Alright, I finally found the time to write the review. Honestly, though, you really don't have to read the whole thing. Long story short, its amazing. Oh and I'm not gonna give them a grade, because they're all A's ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Track by TrackFearless-So this is the title track, and I think it was a great choice. Taylor has said that its about "the perfect first date that I've never been on". It's got a nice pop beat with a sort of country vibe. I would recommend checking out the acoustic version, too. Even though they're both good. Hey I went a whole paragraph without talking about lyrics! Fifteen-The main reason I like this song is because I'm fifteen. And its about her being fifteen. It pretty much talks about the stuff she went through in her freshman year of high school. It's very relatable and has a good tune. It's kinda medium slow, so its not like a dancing song or anything. Its just fun to listen to. I thinks at least the first verse really describes the hopes and fears you have going into high school. Really good. Love Story-This was the first single off the album, and it came out a long time ago, so chances are you've heard it. It's a little over-played, but its still amazing. It's the fairy tale every girl wishes for. It also tells the story of Romeo & Juliet, with a much better ending. It really is beautiful, and the lyrics are some of her best work. I think the main message of it is probably that love is best when you have to fight for it. Thats how you know its real. Very awesome song. Hey Stephen-This one is very popular among my friends. Unfortunately, I don't know any hot guys named Stephen. But it's still a really cute song about having a huge crush on a beautiful guy and trying to convince him you're the one he should choose. Really cute lyrics. Very quotable. White Horse-This is one of the depressing ones on the album, but the fact that it can make me so sad is how I know its REALLY good. It's really the story of realizing the guy you're with isn't the Prince Charming you were hoping for. It brings across the heartache of a fresh breakup really well. Beautiful song. You Belong With Me-Definitely tied for my favorite. It's got a great melody and rythm in the verse. It's kinda the more upbeat version of Teardrops on My Guitar. Except I don't think it's about the same guy. And the picture in the little flipbook thing is AWESOME! But anyway, this one's really fun to jam to and has great lyrics. Reminds me of "Girl Next Door" by Saving Jane, only way more upbeat, and just way better. This one is also really relatable. I think every girl goes through this at one point. Breathe-Colbie Caillat co-wrote this song and sings background on it, and its really good. Its another one of the more depressing songs, but its still great. I'm not a big fan of the melody, but the lyrics totally make up for it. Tell Me Why-Even though its really really good, this is probably my second to last favorite. But its still really good. It's about a guy with a temper, which I can kinda understand. I really like the message and the melody. I have to go to Vegas, so I have to finish this later. sorry.

It's about a guy with a temper, which I can kinda understand. I really like the message and the melody. I have to go to Vegas, so I have to finish this later. sorry. I just noticed I should probably finish this. So picking up where I left off... You're Not Sorry- This one is pretty simple sounding, but the lyrics are pretty deep. It is basically backed by just a piano, so it sounds less country than other songs. I really like it. The Way I Loved You- This song takes getting used to. When I first got the cd I didn't like it all that much, but now I really do. It's edgy and cute at the same time. Forever & Always-This is my absolute favorite. Hands down. It's very sarcastic and a total slam to the guy she wrote it about, which happens to be Joe Jonas. Best melody, best lyrics, and best story of the whole album. The Best Day-This song is cute. It's about her mom. I like the melody, but the lyrics are probably the weakest on the album. This is my least favorite, but its still good. Its the kind of relationship I want to have with my daughter when I'm older. Change-This one was a part of the Olympics soundtrack thing, so every time I listen to it, it reminds me of the Olympics. But basically its a song for any trial or challenge you're facing, and a reassurance that you'll make it through. A real pick-me-up song. OverallWhat can I say? Taylor Swift is a brilliant songwriter. She definitely knows how to get her point across in 3 minutes. This is probably one of my favorite cds that I own because there isnt one song on it that I have to skip when it comes on.

Okay, this might sound silly, but Taylor Swift is my spazz-out artist! Whenever I hear her on the radio I freak, turn it up, and sing along. That's what I mean by "spaz". I LOVE HER! ¢¾

well geez I think I've told you before J.T. that I don't like her singing.
I am what you call "tone paranoid" (at least I call it that) it means that I'm so tuned that anything that sounds even the smallest bit off of the note it's supposed to be and I know what it should be, I know it and I just turn off whatever it is that's on.
she sounds good on radio and all that and her songs have good meanings (I personally like you belong with me, love story got on my nerves) but what bugs me is that during the grammys and what not, she sounded nothing like on radio, I had heard her on the radio and thought she was good and then she goes and sings live and butchers the grammys; my ears freaked out! my thinking was -is that her real voice? and if so, why is she singing? is she sick? what happened???- so needless to say i found out that she has talent writing and it would be better if she wrote for others, but I can't stand her live singing, I will not EVER go to a concert by her and I probably wouldn't support her being that I don't believe that she has true talent.
As J.T. said, "you don't have to have real talent to do that"
sorry if people don't agree with me, you don't have to listen to my opinion, it is only my opinion, so please don't take it personally.

Personally I think 8 out of 10 people don't sound as good live.Which is why I don't bother with concerts lol.If she sounds good on recording then it's fine with me. I think we should stop criticizing though,because she writes nice songs!(And let's face it,how often are we going to listen to her live?) On that note,her new CD coming out in October should sound good! ^_^ www.facebook.com/notes/taylor-swift/speak-now-official-tracklist/430287917022
