I won't lie. I hate Jo Dee a lot. I mean can't listen to it hate. An I think I'm the only one. I recognize she had a lot of hire hits there for awhile. Plus she seems pretty real I just can't stand her music.

Again no disrespect for those who love that and him.
I don't think he's a good singer at all vocally and I'm just not into "party country" much.
I also blame Shania Twain for a large part of the crappy pop country that rules the day now. She was one of the first to really take worthless lyrics and over-produced shit to the top of the charts without even trying to sound country.
All imo of course.

This is an outstanding post. I had almost forgotten when she crossed over. What an awful time for country music. Thanks for posting the perspective.
