Shania, mentioned again.. part 2
I figured the first thread was getting huge, so here is a continuation of it.....
Forster said Canadians are ignorant of their history, reiterating the example of the Greatest Canadian show, in which people ranked Shania Twain among the top candidates.

Wow, you can get nominated for an award for playing a part in a bad movie.

Since then, Strong has been pursuing her dream -- in her friend's memory. People tell her she sounds like a young Sheryl Crow while others wonder whether she'll be the next Shania Twain -- all of which makes her laugh once again. "I think Shania Twain is unbelievable and a massive inspiration but I don't think of her as a country artist.
"I don't want to be the next anybody," she adds. "That's what I try and avoid."
She knows the industry well enough to understand that it doesn't hurt that she's an attractive blond. But she is also adamant about being true to herself. That's why she's not willing to get rid of her lip ring -- or enhance parts of her body

Doesn't think Shania is a country artist???? Nice kiss up to the judges if they read that comment. She will have a long career if she keeps that up.

Elvis and pal headed to Sydney
Elvis the fire bombing helicopter will arrive in Australia tomorrow and this time he is bringing a mate.
Shania will arrive in Sydney tomorrow alongside Elvis - the helicopter/skycranes are being brought to Australia aboard a Russian Antonov air freighter.
The two key tools in this summer's fight against bushfires will be given a quick check over once they arrive before flying directly to their bases in Sydney and Melbourne.
Local Government Minister Jim Lloyd said in a statement he was sure all Australians would welcome the extra protection the aircraft would provide to communities.
"Part of the Australian government's funding package for aerial firefighting is being used to assist the states and territories with the high costs of having such effective heavy aircraft in Australia during this summer," Mr Lloyd said.

Elvis and Shania? How fitting for this site, but I wonder how they came up with that?

The John Labatt Centre has had many sold-out shows, but nobody bought all the tickets as fast as Elton John's fans on the morning of Sept. 15, 2006. Exact figures aren't available, but the downtown London arena sold about 9,000 tickets that morning at a record rate.
The champ: Elton John, Nov. 5, 2006, five minutes.
Second place (tie): Shania Twain, 2004; Avril Lavigne, 2003, six minutes.
Fourth place: Cher, 2002, nine minutes.
Fifth place (tie): A Royal Christmas, 2002; Metallica, 2004, 11 minutes
REMATCH NEXT TIME

But Rich feels that Wilson took those hardships and made them into something. "Her image is where she came from," said Rich. "Those rough edges make her Gretchen Wilson."
Some might think that having it rough comes with the territory, so why chronicle the obvious? Merle Haggard lived in an old boxcar during the Depression. Shania Twain's family couldn't pay the electric bill. Tim McGraw had an cruel stepfather. But even McGraw's aunt, Gina Raney, can see the value in Wilson's book. "Everyone has a story," said Raney. "And hers has the potential to touch someone's life in a positive way."

Most celebs have had it hard at some point in their lives.

Shania has said that every artist has struggled to some degree, even within the music industry itself.

From the heart
By Bruce Mason
Nov 21 2006
If you play, sing and live on Gabriola it is highly likely you have taken lessons from Lou Gradanti.
Regardless of age, musical level, or style, he's got something to teach everyone, culled from 50 years of making music.
But the chances are even greater that you won't succeed like his most famous protege.
"Lou, thanks for all the lessons. Best wishes from an old friend, Shania Twain," reads an autographed photo on the wall of the Octave Studio, where he writes music in his home-based studio.
He doesn't talk about Twain much, he's too busy playing, writing, and teaching 85 students. But he's staging 24 of his original songs at the Gabriola Community Hall, Saturday (Nov. 25), including one he wrote for her that she hasn't heard yet.
"Years ago when I was playing with my band in Sudbury, Ont., I was approached by a couple during a break," he recalled. "They asked me if their little girl Eileen could sing something with us.
"I said sure and wow, she had a lot of power and emotion," Gradanti said. "They were poor and didn't know what to do with her talent and determination, so they asked me if they could visit me in Toronto."
At 11 years of age, the young Eileen Twain began staying with Gradanti and his wife in the big city, on and off, for about five years. He taught her how to sing, especially harmony and how to play the guitar.
"I brought her onstage with my band and I was playing piano on the TV show Opry North, so I got her on TV for the first time, drove her around to radio stations for interviews and to gigs, got her started," Gradanti said.
He lost touch until she called with bad news: her folks had been killed in a car accident. That's when he wrote You Made It All Right, a song that a grateful young woman sings to her fiercely dedicated mother.

It's not the whole article, but I don't know how to get the rest.

Maybe Shania could record that song.
