    Album country muito bom, os vocais um pouco ruins, a voz ainda muito imatura na época. Poderia ser melhor produzido.

    thankfully i can give this horrible album a 0 cuz it is SO BAD, terrible production, terrible vocals, she’s a horrible artist. Lazy, boring and generic woman. She’s such a horrible and nasty woman.

    Fourth Taylor Swift album im reviewing, at this point I might as well just become an official Taylor Swift's music reviewer LOL.

    After "Red", this is Taylor's second album that best describes how it feels like fall in and out of love, and just like "Red", "Fearless" feels very personal, and it is also a very teenage album... I mean, there is a reason why the second track is about high

I mean, there is a reason why the second track is about high school. "Fearless" describes what is like to be in love while you are young, not too young to make stupid decisions, but not too old to know what you are doing and not let your feelings guide your life. Even though some songs sound kinda similar, that doesn't change the fact that this is a good record and that Taylor, while she was 17 - 18, did a great job with it.

    Taylor succeeded in an era of declining country music! This is a world-renowned achievement. Do people who say this album is bad know it's the most awarded country album in the world? You can dislike country music, but you can't deny the success of this album.

    Swift may not possess the vocal power to fully sell her more lyrically generic material (Underwood's great gift), but for the most part, this remarkably self-aware adolescent's words don't falter, masterfully avoiding the typical diarist's pitfalls of trite banality. She writes everything, and has a feel for timeless songwriting.

    One of the most iconic albums of my childhood. Taylor redefined country music and helped it to become more widespread and popular outside of the US. At just 18 (and even younger when some of the songs were written), she was already making waves in the music industry. AOTY Grammy Awards 2009

    The 2nd and smash album from Taylor Swift was the way she became the famous singer and brilliant songwriter that we know. Fearless is a feeling continuous of be young and enjoy the magical moments of being alive. The way that Swift explain hers feelings through magicals lyrics in songs like the best day, forever & always and fearless is brilliant. this was just the beginning of a huge career.

    As much I love the singles on the album I can't say this is one of Taylor's best performances. Some songs are really forgettable and sometimes generic. There are amazing tracks though like Love Story, Forever & Always, Change, Jump Then Fall, and You Belong With Me. I think this album launched her career and is still great but it is not her best performance.

    This is my rank of Taylor’s albums so far:

    1st: Lover & 1989 (I can’t decide between them)
    2nd: Speak Now & reputation (I can’t decide between them as well)
    3rd: RED
    4th: Fearless
    5th: Self-Titled Album (“Taylor Swift”)

    I still don’t know about “folklore”. I have to listen to it more to decide where to put it, but it wouldn’t be in 1st or 2nd place.

    Okay, Fearless was mind-blowingly good. I always put it second to Red, but upon listening to Fearless, I think I liked this one better. There simply was not a bad song on the entire album. Near the end, I actually tried to find things I didn’t like about it, and I could not. Blending original and fun to listen to music with lyrics so powerful and relatable they often hit home in the best way possible, Taylor Swift knocks it out of the park. I have absolutely zero complaints about Fearless, it was that good. Even though I didn’t give You’re Not Sorry a perfect score, I did really like the song. Swift should have named this album “Flawless” and it would have been deserved. Everyone should listen to Fearless, which is the very best album I’ve reviewed so far. Highlights: Jump Then Fall, Untouchable, The Other Side Of The Door, Fearless, Fifteen, Love Story, Hey Stephen, White Horse, You Belong With Me, Breathe, Tell Me Why, The Way I Loved You, Forever & Always, The Best Day, and Change (that’s almost every song on the album lol).

  1. Swift's gentle touch is as enduring as her songcraft, and this musical maturity may not quite jibe with her age but it does help make Fearless one of the best mainstream pop albums of 2008.
  2. Though they're written by a teenager, Swift's songs have broad appeal, and therein lies the genius and accessibility of her second effort.
  3. She's 18--wide-eyed, naive, hopeful--and that's how she sounds on Fearless, her superb new album.
