But that's not to say the Killers are worse. Of course it's a matter of opinion, but I'd go so far as to say that, on the whole, everyone taken into account, people would almost objectively agree the Killers are better. There is no comparison.
Oh right, I get you now, I find albums as a whole better than the singles, you find songs that cant be released to be better (if that makes sense). I would agree though that they are better as a whole, remind me of schooldays listening to Mr Brightside :D

Higher sales do not equal quality, anyone can have a hit single look at the Crazy Frog.

Leona Lewis is a voice, nothing more nothing less, The killers actually write their own music, play their own instruments and are generally not a puppet of Simon Cowell's.

No because she can only play 3 chords and all her songs sound the same. The difference between Taylor and The Killers is that The Killers are actually talented.

You do know that 99% of the time Co-writing credits mean nothing? they just change a few words so they can have a credit and higher percentage of the money from sales. The extent of her writing contributions were probably among the lines of 'Oooh Let's change that You to U!'.

I think all the Killers songs sound the same..

Taylor Swift ALSO plays the piano aswell as the guitar.

Therefore more musical and she writes all of her songs herself.

Can we please get this thread back to the topic at hand? :bawling:

The Killers have done 3 different albums that have 3 different styles. All of Taylor's songs are mid tempo guitar songs with same-y lyrics. Saying she can play a guitar at all is stretching it when she's based her career on 3 chords.

Anyone can write a song MM&I.

'My name is Dez
I wear a Fez
I've got a bird by the name of Kes'

That's a verse already, the difference inbetween Taylor and virtually any credible artists is that they do it well.

Fame Academy was crap, I liked the celebrity one though. Maybe those wanting 'real music' should be watching that show on Sky

It's more the 'reality show' element to it that I prefer :p

It's like I've always wanted there to be cameras in the XF house and a 24/7 Live Feed.

Probably my all-time favourite reality tv show <3
