Why did Shania Twain's career go straight down the shitter?

It wasn't like she wasn't the biggest country music crossover success story at one time.

Because she fucking sucks. You stupid hillbilly.

Now she's dragging John Waters down to her level.

The answer has something to do with the very strange, reclusive and mysterious ex-husband/producer of hers. I want to say his name is Mutt Lange, but I'm not sure and I'm too lazy to look it up.

Since they split up she hasn't done jack shit. I don't know if he ever produced anyone else.

She's as fake as her fake name!

You tell her, R4, you old scalawag!

Her ex husband the producer was the one behind a lot of her 90's success.

She was one of those that used country music to try to be a pop star because it was easier to break through. But she was nothing more than adult contemporary country pop for fraus which wasn't gonna have a long shelf life no matter how high she wore her blouses and how tight her pants were.

Because she made a boatload of $$$ with 4 multi platinum albums (three sold over 10 million) and a couple of tours and a Vegas residency. She had a good nearly 10 year run.

R9'Sounds as if she's rightfully pooped.

Her svengali, Mutt Lang left her for her best friend while they were all living in Switzerland. THEN, she ended up marrying her best friends ex-husband. Wild!

Because she's a homophobe and a deplorable Trump fan. That's not very marketable these days, at least when it comes to pop charts.

Bexause she's old.

by Anonymousreply 13September 2, 2020 4:35 AM

Because she couldn't accept that her ugly ass husband fell in love with her homely best friend and ran off with her!!! Which says boatloads about how miserable he was being married to her. She must've been frigid or something, because she was hot as hell when he bailed out!

The new husband is much cuter than Mutt.

She was stupid and waited 15 years to release another album after her 2002 album Up. Unless you’re Barbra Streisand, you cannot take a 15 year break from making music and expect to still be relevant when you decide to return. A new generation will have taken your spot (in her case, Taylor Swift stole her country-pop schtick). When she finally released a new album, it flopped because she was forgotten by that point and the album sucked. She was lucky to have the success she did in the late 90’s/early 2000’s.

by Anonymousreply 18September 2, 2020 4:58 AM

The real question is how she had a successful career to begin with. She had an off putting and nasally voice and very forgettable songs. Isn't she a right winger now ?

by Anonymousreply 19September 2, 2020 5:00 AM

Because the guy who was the mastermind behind her signature sound left her for her best friend, because she's not young and hot anymore, because it's not the 90s. Times change. I'm sure she made more money than God, can't really complain. Was fun while it lasted.

The "straight down the shitter" troll is a scat queen.

by Anonymousreply 21September 2, 2020 5:02 AM

Her ex-husband really was the mastermind behind her hits because her most recent album was her first album without him producing and writing and it was awful. And she worked with four different producers and even they couldn’t get her a hit.

by Anonymousreply 22September 2, 2020 5:04 AM

She said she lost her voice as a complication from Lyme Disease which she got in 2003. Then she had all the drama with her messy divorce (from the Svengali who wrote and produced most of her music to begin with). I'm surprised she came back to music at all, she should've been set for life off of her 90's/early 2000's success.

She's still big enough to do a Vegas show and an arena tour a few years back though, so I wouldn't say her career is totally dead, she's just aged into being a nostalgia act.

She is more of a pop star than a country music star honestly. A lot of her success relied on her sex appeal. She looked amazing in her music videos and had some fun approachability to her character as well. Like others said she waited too long to release albums and her husband was the mastermind who manufactured a lot of her image and sound. Then other sexy country pop stars came and went like Jessie James and Carrie Underwood and filled her niche. Shania is very still popular and nostalgia for the late 90s and 2000s is reviving interest in her career.

I guess for Mutt, Shania wasn't still the one he ran to, the one that she belonged to, the one he wanted for life.

Shania did have a tough life. Didn't she grow up poor on a First Nations reservation and for years believed she was part First Nations?

Oh lord - we have a Shania stan now on DL.🤦‍♂️

R28, not me. I hated that song. I just thought it was funny she dedicated that song to her hubbers and then he dumped her.

by Anonymousreply 29September 2, 2020 5:13 AM

I thought Shania had a gay following because of "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "I Feel Like a Woman". She probably lost a lot for saying she'd vote for Trump if she was an American.

Stop hating on Shania. She is a good Canadian girl.

She had sex with Donald Trump?

If Shania's pussy isn't "open for business", who cares how HOT her current husband is!

by Anonymousreply 36September 2, 2020 5:31 AM

I wonder if she still financially supports any of her family members? She had to after her parents died in the 80s and I used to see her with them at awards shows but she doesn’t speak about them and I think one of them has had drug issues.
