Taylor Swift - 'Speak Now: World Tour Live'

One of the planet’s wealthiest 21-year-olds will add more to her bank account with the release of “Speak Now: World Tour Live.”

Tailor-made for Taylor Swift enthusiasts, this CD plus DVD illustrates her sincerity, ability to really connect with her fans, and her Broadway-type showmanship.

How breathtaking can one breathless artist be? “Speak Now: World Tour Live,” recorded at various locales, is a sell-out tour that includes two shows at Madison Square Garden.

The most exciting offering, and it does rock royally, is “Better Than Revenge.” A trio of other songs have made it as singles including “Mean,” a Grammy nominee for best country song.

Swift produced this epic, plays several instruments, and wrote much of the material.

“Speak Now: World Tour Live” is a decent offering.

She sings offkey more than on.

I've heard her sing live several times, and she's hardly ever in tune. While she seems to be a nice young woman and a good songwriter, she's not much of a singer.
