Shania Not Real Problem for Traditional Country Decline. There is a really interesting editorial at Countrymusicforthefans.com on who should be blamed for the sales decline in traditional country music: "The fact that Shania and Faith have 
managed to stretch the boundary between country and pop music to the limit and 
have had enormous success in doing so make them logical targets for traditionalists. But do Shania and Faith really have anything to do with the disappearance of traditional country music? If you believe they are to blame then you must believe that Shania and Faith have somehow managed to convert lovers of traditional country music into lovers of country/pop music. Think about that. How many traditional country music lovers do you know who gave it up for the country/pop music of Shania Twain and Faith Hill? Does the number zero ring a bell?"

Dolly's Career Affected by Shania's Success. From the article "Parton Returns To Bluegrass Roots" by NEKESA MUMBI MOODY at The Associated Press: "Parton's foray into bluegrass came at a time when she was getting little airplay on country radio.

It's an experience she described as ``frustrating'' but understandable" according to Dolly. (Thanks Cbspock!) 

On Shania: Fame And Marriage. Quotes from  countrystars.com : "SHANIA TWAIN: SOME LIFE PHILOSOPHY.  Shania Twain remains one of the most supremely grounded entertainers around and her personal take on life shows why. Regarding her marriage, distance never hurt it. "Time doesn't mean anything, and you pick up where you left off. And it's that much more exciting. And we're always making plans...so that continues - which in a lot of people's relationships, ends after just the first year." Shania on life in the spotlight, "I think you must be prepared to take the good with the bad, and I think it's best just to stay on an even keel. Realize that your career is a separate entity from your personal life," she says. And with all her power and wealth, she takes nothing for granted. "I'm always a little guarded and prepared for the worst. That is my tendency, and it comes from my childhood to be prepared for things to go wrong at any time. As wonderful as things are, play my own devil's advocate," she says." (Thanks Carrie!)

The Secret To Her Success. From Billboard : Gary Overton, VP of EMI Music Publishing, on what Nashville has to do to survive: "The key is not as much searching for a genre of music--it's finding true performers. In Nashville, everybody waits for it to come to us. That's well and good, but there's a lot of great talent out there, big fish in little ponds. That's one of the keys if you look at the big sellers who do well in Country Music. Shania spent years and years at those resorts. That's how she made her living. Same with the Dixie Chicks--they are performers. That's the key to finding great, unique talent. That's what they do for a living. That's the difference between them, and people who come to town and just sit." Well said Gary! (A HUGE Thanks to Tides24!)

Shania Twain's Honesty A 2000 Highlight.  From countrystars.com : " Just one of Shania Twain's considerable charms is her honesty. And, at the CMA's in October, she was her usual candid self when asked, after several months off of the concert trail and out of the country at her home in Switzerland, did she miss the spotlight? "Nope," she said frankly, garnering chuckles from the press corps. "I like having a balance. And for the last seven years of my life, well, for almost my entire life I've been on stage doing this. So this last six months is the first six months I've ever not sang, performed and really been out in public. So it's a very nice, much  needed, welcome change. It's not that I don't love it. But you just need that break every once in a while. I've needed it, just creatively for the songwriting part of things. And I needed to get to know my husband again. I missed him so much and we're just together again and it's fabulous." :) (Thanks Cbspock, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)

Shania: A Fan's 'Inspiration.' At Countrystars.com , Neil Haislop's Q/A page has a question this week from a Shania fan who has a 5 year-old who is Also a Shania fan & the fan calls Shania an "inspiration"!  Here is what the Shania-related Q/A says: 
"Q: Shania Twain has always been an inspiration to me. I attended her concert two years ago in Boston, Mass. She was amazing. My 5 year-old daughter and I sing her albums together word for word. Lately, you do not see much of her. When is she touring again, and when will she put out a new album? Is the rumor true about her and Mutt Lange? Will they be getting a divorce? Where is she?? Erika from Rochester, NH 
A: Shania is currently in Switzerland recording a new album due out in late summer of 2001. She will tour at some point to support that album, and she and Mutt Lange couldn't be happier together." :)  (Thanks Carrie, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !) 

Country Weekly On Shania. In the Jan 9, 2001 issue of Country Weekly, the year in country music issue, Shania is mentioned on many pages: there is a fantastic picture on page 58 of Shania in the black dress at the 2000 CMA's, she is smiling and waving at the camera (she looked awesome that nite, but when doesn't she, LOL!) They also mention her on page 40 for having the 6th Top (Country) Tour in 2000 with only 12 shows! They still have COO at 17 million but it is likely the certification for 18 came too late to make this issue. Still its worth picking up. (Thanks Bryce, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)
