 Shania
Twain
is known as the diva country music singer that created
what's called new country or country pop. She can be credited
for a new sound of country music that hit main stream
pop music and what could be called a cross over music
success. Her sound went from country music radio stations
and country music videos to MTV videos, pop radio music
stations, and dance clubs all over the globe.
Her
stunning looks, and amazing body, along with her famous
mid riff raised a few eyebrows in the country music community.
Here was this amazing looking woman with a body to die
for, exposing skin, and her belly button always happy
to see you with her supermodel flat tummy. Her first videos
were like nothing seen in traditional country music. They
had style and a lot of flash of all Shania's sex appeal.
 Her
music also rocked the ears of old time country music fans.
Here was this new kid on the block with a sound that was
much more up beat than plain old country music. She hit
the world with a sound like no other, and what the females
loved when first hearing Shania's music, was it had this
certain grrl kick to it, she was singing country music
with women attitude.
Many
people back then thought her popularity would just be
a typical one hit wonder, here today gone tomorrow. However,
Shania proved them wrong. She can really sing and she
showed them that years later she's still on top. Having
released four CD's, won countless music awards, broke
records on both pop and country music charts, appeared
on dozens on magazine covers, and while being a spokes
model for Revlon cosmetics.
She
showed the world that she was for real, and what made
things even different than the traditional country music
star, Shania isn't even from Nashville or even American
for that matter. However, her life has all the heart ache
and despair as an old fashion country song.
Shania,
was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. She is the second
oldest old of five siblings. Her parents worked as foresters,
and they lived in poverty. Times were hard for the family,
they would often go for days in hunger, and to keep the
spirits high Shania's mother introduced music into their
lifes. Shania began writing and singing songs and by the
age of 8, her parents would wake her in the middle of
the night so she could go sing in small bars and clubs.
Shania
continued her singing at community events, church, and
local bars. While on her highschool summer vacations she
would take on part-time jobs to financially help her parents.
After
Shania graduated from highschool she moved to Toronto
to pursue her life long dream of becoming a professional
singer and songwriter. However, tragedy struck Shania
in 1987 when her parents were killed in a car wreck.
She
then returned home to take care of her younger brothers
and sisters. She took a job at a resort singing and dancing
to support her siblings. Shania worked for 3 years at
the resort singing and dancing to show tunes while trying
to pursue her career with the release of her demo tape.
A representative from Nashville heard her tape and she
was soon off to music city.
Her
first album didn't sell well at all, it was too much of
what the record label was trying to make Shania sound
like. On her second album Shania put her own inspiration
into the songs she wrote and music she sang, and the album
The Woman In Me released in 1995, went on to sell
more than 18 million copies. That album sold more than
any other female country artist and had seven hit singles.
Her third album released two years later,Come On Over
sold 34 million copies and is the best selling county
album of all time.
Shania
went on to marry rock music producer Mutt Lang whom with
she has a child with now. Her last new album UP!
was released in 2002, it was her first album to feature
country and pop music and broke many break record sales.
Since then Shania has released a CD of her greatest hits
and she's planing a tour in the very near future.
There
is no stopping Shania, super music star, super female
rolemodel, magazine covermodel, revlon spokes model, and
just plain and simple supermodel !
