New Years Eve with Shania. CBS is broadcasting an "Grammy All-Time Top Ten Performances" special on New Year's Eve (12/31) beginning at 9:00 PM EST.

Read the article. (Thanks Carrie!) Christmas With Shania. It was noticed that many of the radio stations, and even VH-1, were including "God Bless The Child" among their holiday playlists on Christmas day.

She is not retiring! She's just slowing down a bit. She may show up at some award shows, including the Grammys. She may decide not to show up. That is all I know at this time. Say It Ain't So! The Sun and dotmusic.com are both reporting that Shania has decided to take a year off. The article goes on to say that she has already cancelled appearances at the Grammys and the Brits award shows.

We're putting it together now so people can hear those and have those. Shania speaks out about her feelings on Beginnings being released: Shania: This is not the way I want people to hear my music. Obviously, I'm not happy that people can take advantage of me this way. It's discouraging to me. Sometimes I get discouraged and so disappointed in human nature. So that's my personal feeling. I feel like I've been betrayed by a fellow music person. I would never do that to somebody else. CDNow: What do you think of the music, though? Shania: I love the music. I think it's cool. It's
the type of music that I liked to write, that I enjoyed, and that I did
do a lot at the time.
Shania is #1! While Charlie Gibson was busy annointing Alanis Morrisette's Jagged Little Pill as the best selling solo album by a woman of all time this morning on Good Morning America, he forgot to check the RIAA's website to see that Shania Twain's Come On Over had, indeed, tied Morrisette and also tied Garth Brooks' No Fences as the best selling country album of all time with 16 million sales Certified!

For Shania's West Palm Beach show, tickets go onsale for Internet purchase FIRST; at 12:00 Noon. All others must wait until 12:15!

Hopefully, Shania will take this approach for all of her upcoming events!

There's no doubt Shania Twain is a household name today. But as a young girl growing up in Timmons, Ontario, she hid her heart's goals. "I never really shared with too many people what my dreams were," she admits. "In high school, I played a lot at the bars for mostly adults. So a lot of my friends didn't know what I did. They didn't realize how serious I was about my career. "I kept what I did pretty much to myself. It was not something that was a social experience for me. This was something I was focusing on for after high school." (Country Weekly Online) Tour Rumors.

Congratulations Shania! Congratulations Shania! In all the excitement, I nearly forgot to mention Shania's performance of "Come On Over"!

In a pre-Award Show Interview with Crook & Chase, Shania reiterated that she doesn't let herself take award shows too seriously.

Reba McIntyre presented the award and looked very happy to see Shania beat out the boys this year. Shania was very emotional on a night when some of her greatest inspirations: Dolly Parton and Conway Twitty were inducted into the CMA Hall of Fame. In post-Award Show interviews, Shania was looking forward to meeting Dolly for the first time.
In one of the funnier moments of the broadcast, did you catch Vince Gill trying to get thru his presentation of the International Achievement Award to Shania? Someone, (probably a US Fan Club member) shouted out: "I Love You, Shania!" from the cheap seats. Vince said it was difficult enough presenting the award to this beautiful woman without him interrupting his speech! The audience loved it. All in all, it looks like Shania and Nashville have mended their fences. Shania finally has gotten the recognition she has deserved all along from Nashville. Congratulations Shania!

Twain is not the first country artist to dominate the British list, but it's still a rare occurrence. In the land where Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash, and Don Williams had albums that peaked at No. 2, the country artists who did have No. 1 albums include Jim Reeves (''According To My Heart'' in 1969 and "40 Golden Greats'' in 1975) and Glen Campbell (''20 Golden Greats'' in 1976)."

Despite being up for six awards, country music's biggest female star didn't attend the ceremony -- the first time in 10 years the multimillion-selling singer has missed the show. Twain was recovering at her Switzerland home from an exhausting two-year world tour, officials at her record company said.

list of reviews for songs!!!!! Here's what
"Man! I Feel Like A Woman!'' (Alternative Version) (3:53)< Mercury Since the release of Shania Twain's 12-times-platinum "Come On Over'' in 1997, this track has been among the most obvious single choices among the steady stream of releases to both pop and country radio. Already a hit at her home base (It peaked at No. 4 on Hot Country Singles & Tracks in June), there's no reason that "Man!,'' with its coquettish turn of phrase, shouldn't have the same kind of appeal as her earlier "That Don't Impress Me Much.'' There are plenty of tasty ingredients here - great tempo, attitude, a hook that sells like ice cream in summer (including a guitar riff that conjures the ubiquitous "Spirit In The Sky''), and the instantly recognizable vocals of a woman who is a fond acquaintance of so many millions out there now. This is country crossover at its best. And wait until you catch this videoclip, which features Twain imitating Robert Palmer in his groundbreaking 1986 clip for "Addicted To Love,'' complete with buffed and blank-eyed male models in the background. Hilarious. This is all good. (Thanks Carrie for the info!) Shania's MTV Europe Play.

CBS announced Sunday plans for a new concert special featuring Shania Twain, who headlined a successful hour for CBS last season with her "Shania Twain's Winter Break" special. Details of Twain's latest special for CBS are still being hammered out, though CBS executives hope to tape the hour in early fall. The pop-country crooner's current release, "Come on Over,'' has sold more than 11 million copies on the strength of singles such as "You're Still the One'' and "That Don't Impress Me Much.'' (Thanks Carrie!) Invisible Man. Parade Publications (a U.S. Sunday Newspaper insert) included a letter from a fan in their "Personality Parade" section this week, inquiring about why you never see Shania and Mutt together. Mutt, as we all know by now, is a very quiet and private man who prefers to stay in the background. According to the article, they couldn't even run a picture of him because Mutt has bought up all the rights to any existing photos! They ran a pic of Shania instead (who is much better looking anyway) accepting her Billboard Music Awards...sans Mutt. Raising Her Right! Faith and Tim McGraw's own daughter, Gracie, relates to another country superstar's music – Shania Twain. "The song that Gracie knows and sings all the time is 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman!' "confides Faith. "Tim said he was going to have to have a conversation with Shania to tell her, 'Do you know our 2-year-old is going around singing, "Man, I feel like a woman" ?' (Country Weekly) Speaking of Shania, the mega-selling country star admits her song "Honey, I'm Home" is the "attitude sequel" of "Any Man of Mine." " 'Honey, I'm Home' is a complete role-reversal song," explains the Timmins, Ontario, songbird. "When a guy comes home, after a hard day, it's not uncommon for him to say, 'Where's dinner?' In this case, it's funny because it's a girl who's singing it." Shania says her husband, Mutt Lange, often heeds the message without prompting."Yeah! He's pretty good," she admits,laughing. "He does that a lot. I'm pretty much a homemaking person and I like to take care of him. I'm kind of mothering that way. "But he'll do the same for me, without asking. If I'm on the phone for a long time, he'll bring me tea, and if I'm busy, he'll make lunch." (Country Weekly) Online Favorite!...Shania won the Yahoo Internet
Life Music Award for Favorite Country Artist.

Shania is going to enjoy some much needed R&R and time with Mutt, but don't expect her to sit still for too long! Here We Go Again. Shania finds herself on the cover of this week's National Examiner.

Billboard's Review of "You've Got A Way" With three top 10 pop singles to her credit, Shania Twain works her 11million-selling album "Come On Over" with a fourth top 40 offering, again gently remixed to perfection (for the soundtrack to Julia Roberts' "Notting Hill") and poised to take her another step forward in her domination of the crossover airwaves. Instrumentally, "You've Got A Way" resembles "From This Moment On," while the melody and sentiment will remind listeners of her pop breakthrough "You're Still The One." While this new one is not as entirely captivating as either of those songs, a couple of spins will bring out the enticing hook, wedding-ready lyric, and recognizable vocals of People cover model Twain, who sounds relaxed and ever-appealing as the song flows like a gentle stream. Her success with top 40 audiences is truly a benchmark for other country artists hearing the crossover call, and this sounds like a can't-miss proposition for an artist who has yet to make a misstep in her global career. VP Tipper Gore, wife of current Vice President Al Gore, says that "Rock This Country" by Shania (on her CD Come On Over) is a favorite of hers!!!!!!! Vice President Al Gore used Shania Twain's "Rock This Country" to help launch his presidential campaign last week in Carthage, Tenn.

Shania Twain in the June issue of Glamour magazine: "I like it when men open my door. I like being treated like a lady. I don't find it demeaning at all. I find it respectful.

Twain, who's currently on a world tour that has sold over one million tickets, says she keeps in shape simply by dancing like crazy onstage during her concert tours. Back home, she says, her exercise is pretty much limited to horseback riding and cleaning out the stable. The magazine hits newsstands on May 11. (story ) Hollywood Bowl Tonight!

Have a great time at the show tonight everybody! ACM Update. Though Shania didn't take home any ACM Awards last night, Dick Clark presented her with the Double Diamond Award for her record breaking sales for "The Woman In Me" and "Come On Over". One of the best lines uttered last evening came from the lips of Jay Leno as he was presenting Garth Brooks with the Artist of the Decade award. Jay paused awkwardly after a short film of Garth in concert and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I was staring at Shania!". To which Garth mouthed back something to the effect that he "understood completely". More ACM News. Onstage Shania said, after accepting the first ever Double Diamond Award: "I just want to say I've been alone in the world with my guitar and my songs for many years and thanks to the fans, that my music is now around the world," an obviously excited and flustered Twain told the audience. Backstage with Dick Clark, Shania took the opportunity to give a special thanks to her American fans because the Double Diamond Award is based strictly on records sold in the U.S.A. Hard to Believe! Shania is quoted as saying, "I was never really a part of any crowd in high school," she recalls. "I was at band practice and working at nights and I didn't really get into social life at school. No one noticed me." The full interview appears in the June issue of GLAMOUR magazine which hits newsstands on May 11. Tonight is the Night! Are you ready Sacramento?
