Shania Twain Still Looking For Her Voice on ‘Why Not? With Shania Twain’
By: Amy Sciarretto
On the latest episode of ‘Why Not? With Shania Twain,’ dubbed ‘Fear Is Just a Four-Letter Word,’ Shania Twain recognizes that she can’t live without singing, which is a point she has made abundantly clear on every episode of the docu-drama.
We’re several episodes deep now, and in this one, Twain faces a new fear, which is rock climbing — something she is doing for the first time ever. “I need to engage myself in the physical experience and stop going in circles in my mind,” Twain says.
Since the show is a gab fest, and Twain expresses her feelings and emotions in every episode, she counterbalances the chatting with some adventure and strenuous physical activity this week. She talks about not having a safety net on stage like she did when climbing the rocks and it’s a sensible comparison.
Twain again offers an embryonic version of her new song, ‘Today Is Your Day,’ as she works on relaxing and retraining her vocal muscles. She also attends a counseling session to sort through her post-marital disintegration emotions.
By now, the show has a visible formula that includes a cathartic event; Twain working on music and locating her voice; and addressing the betrayal. In this week’s therapy session, the singer does say something incredibly poignant. Since she attained such a measure of enviable career success, she felt like she didn’t have the right to be wounded by other things in life, which is an unfair thing to impose on herself. It was a breakthrough moment. She has a Reiki therapy session and writes unsent letters to her ex-husband and former best friend.
At this point in the series, Twain appears incredibly comfortable with full disclosure. Her diehard fans will appreciate this level of openness, but a casual watcher might tire of all this open-door therapy. The compelling element that makes the next episode worth watching each week is the prospect of Twain singing in full again or confronting her ex-best friend.

Since she is talking about getting ready to marry Fred, I suspect she is now way ahead of where we are talking in Episode 4. Climbing that rock formation was a challenge. I give her credit. Even if I was 20 years younger which is her age, I don't know that I could do it. Heights bother me a lot. I got a kick out of the grief counselor having her write letters to burn, and then telling her to read them. But, obviously if she knew she was going to read them, she would not have been as open. I was surprised, but then not surprised I guess, that she no longer blames her biological father for not being there when she grew up. Also, she finally put some blame on Mutt. It's about time for that. I thought she sang Today just a little better than the last time. In fact, I would not be surprised if by the time we get our hands on Today, it will be a whole lot different than what we've heard so far. I am now looking forward to next week when she talks to David Foster, etc.

No enroute to LA... to meet with David Foster. They are talking on the bus about her next big step. She wants to face David Foster with confidence. She said its like standing naked infront of someone. She never worked with David Foster before. She is meeting with a vocal coach first. She said she had a few lessons as a kid. Now she is doing vocal exercises...pretty funny. She wonders if she is being punked.
He offers Shania some good advice. She needs to sing from her heart again like she did when she was a little girl. It sounds like Shania worked with him for a while, or is working with him still.
She wasnt worried about looking foolish, she went with it.

On to meeting with Foster. Stepping out of her comfort zone, working with another producer besides Mutt. It is scary for her. She is worried about what he thinks of the song. She was nervous about introducing the song. Foster is taking notes as Shania is playing the song on the guitar. She was nervous about exposing the song, and herself to another professional. She was freaking out internally. It was really cool to see the song evolve. Foster was impressed with Shania. She was terrified to sing in the recording booth.

Shania balks at getting in the recording booth. She is a little self conscience. Carrie says Shania was torturing herself because it was hard for her to do. Shania just needs to let go, and go with it. She was doing so well. Shania was slowly getting back into it. It was like she never stopped. "WAIT UNTIL I GET MY VOICE BACK!" is how Shania ends this segment.
and a new Shania song is born.

It was great seeing the interaction with Foster, he wasn't being a hard *** like Mutt is known to be.
