Nick Jonas And Shania Twain Christmas Song

(Radio.com) Nick Jonas and Shania Twain have joined forces for "Say All You Want For Christmas," a new holiday song that's all about giving and receiving. The mid-paced track is slow and sensuous, starting with a spare piano line and gradually building with strings and vocals:

"Spread all of your emotions on the table/ And let me see your heart upon your sleeve/ �I wanna know exactly what you need/ Say all you want for Christmas is me."

Jonas and Twain's voices harmonize beautifully throughout the love song, especially on the chorus: "I'm gonna love you like/ like it's always Christmas Eve/ And I'm gonna sacrifice the selfish part of me/ And when we're all alone and I hold you close/ Everything I need/ Say all you want for Christmas is me."

Taylor Swift Shares Heartfelt And Poignant Letter To Fans

(Radio.com) While the world is eagerly taking in the 15 songs spread across Taylor Swift's new Reputation album, the singer has shared a heartfelt and poignant letter to fans in physical copies of the release.

In the letter, Swift talks about dealing with modern life, where a deluge of curated information shapes our perceptions of ourselves and each other. "We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them they have chosen to show us," Swift's letter begins. "We know our friend in a certain light, but we don't know them the way their lover does. Just the way their lover will never know them the same way that you do as their friend. Their mother knows them differently than their roommate, who knows them differently than their colleague. Their secret admirer looks at them and sees an elaborate sunset of brilliant color and dimension and spirit and pricelessness."

"And yet, a stranger will pass that same person and see a faceless member of the crowd, nothing more. We may hear rumors about a person and believe those things to be true. We may one day meet that person and feel foolish for believing baseless gossip. This is the first generation that will be able to look back on their entire life story documented in pictures on the internet, and together we will all discover the after-effects of that."

Swift continues the letter by addressing social media directly, and looks ahead at how it's proliferation will affect people in the future: "This is the first generation that will be able to look back on their entire life story documented in pictures on the internet, and together we will all discover the after-effects of that," she shared. "Ultimately, we post photos online to curate what strangers think of us. But then we wake up, look in the mirror at our faces and see the cracks and scars and blemishes, and cringe. We hope someday we'll meet someone who will see that same morning face and instead see their future, their partner, their forever. Someone who will still choose us even when they see all of the sides of the story, all the angles of the kaleidoscope that is you." See the full letter here.

Anderson East Offended By Garth Brooks' CMAs Lip-Sync

(Radio.com) Country music fans were shocked and surprised when Garth Brooks lip-synced his performance at this year's CMA Awards. Brooks explained his decision to use a prerecorded live track: the country legend was sick, and in the middle of a strenuous string of concerts on tour.

"We're in the middle of 12 shows in 10 days. Not 10 shows in 12 days, 12 shows in 10 days," he revealed. "We made a game-time call on whether to sing to a track or lip-sync," Brooks said in the press room after the show (via People). "And we decided to lip-sync it. My voice just isn't going anywhere, and we wanted to represent country music the best we can."

Last week, singer-songwriter (and Miranda Lambert's boyfriend) Anderson East expressed strong feelings about Brooks' augmented performance, going so far as to say that he's offended by it.

"I keep a lot of my opinions to myself and respect anyone making music but as a person who tries to put on the best and most honest show I can night after night� this truly offends me," East tweeted. "I was told country music is three chords and the truth."

East's comment has generated a slew of responses from both supporters and critics of his comments. Read some here.
