Shania's base....."strong, but it isn't broad"
I found this interesting......[Thanks Steve for bringing it to our attention.]


From USA Today 2-22-99:

"Twain's country power base may be strong, but it isn't broad. Despite her sales and Grammy recognition, she has yet to win an award from the Nashville-based Country Music Association..........Still she has her admirers. Notes CMA executive director Ed Benson: "We'd be better off as an industry if we had more people who could straddle formats. That's really the future for us."

Considering that article was from 1999...I would think that her fan base has grown broader since then. That's over 5 years ago. The article is irrelevant because Shania won the coveted "Entertainer of the Year" award from the CMA's that year!
