Maddie & Tae

[MK in NC]

Catchy, poppy "country" song. Funny video. Cute teenage performers.

But I add this thread because one of them (Maddie, I believe) apparently plays some mandolin.

I'm not sure the cure isn't worse than the disease.

Nice Pair! Not sure about the music though----

Well I like the sense of humor. Processed country pop aint my thing but I know many of us here are in the minority in regards to what we like in music.

Not my style on vocals either but they can sing.

If they weren't so darn old and ugly they could have a chance at country pop.

The only thing that makes me a little nervous in that video and challenges my preconceptions is that they keep showing shots of Tae holding a pen incorrectly.

well sexist and un PC as this gonna sound
if they didn't look like that
and if they didn't sound like that

the county choir wouldn't listen

always easier to take a bad comment when said with a wink and a smile

I can assure you if they were unattractive, angry and aggressive, NYC etc etc., and this wasn't semi tongue in cheek-it would be vilified.

I think they could fit perfectly in country music. They sound like a mix of Danielle Bradbery with Alison Krauss and that Maddie has serious potential as a mandolin player. They'll get so much better with the passing of time

Could not get through much more than the first ten seconds, sappy, __appy, nasal, Nashville pablum.
Sorry, I'm too old to cherish fantasies about this sort of Hoo Raw anymore.
Not spending the time to bother with the "winkie", Steve.

Having a daughter turning 13 in 3 weeks and uninspired with the current country music, I appreciated this song.
