Shania Twain Will Carry the Olympic Torch

Shania Twain imageI am kind of ticked off at the Olympics executives right now. Chicago was clearly the best choice for the 2016 games and they blew it. But this Shania Twain thing might just change my mind. She's been chosen to carry the Olympic Torch through her hometown in Ontario on New Year's Day in January 2010. Twain says it's an "honour" to bear this torch and that she has "tremendous respect for the hard work, dedication and talent of the world's greatest athletes and will humbly carry and pass on the Olympic torch with a special pride for my country's Olympians." So between her guest judging spot on the upcoming season of American Idol, and now this torch thing, I'd say Twain is poised for a big ol' country comeback.

    I just wish Shania would hurry and get some NEW material out, I am anxious to hear her over the radio waves again.

    I am anxious to here some new Shania tunes as well. Even if she has go on her own and create her own label like TK and Gretchen. Mutt was such a jerk and i am glad she kicked his butt to the curve, IMHO, he was truly holding her back from even being better than another fellow Canadian songstress Celion Dion. Good Luck, Shania and we miss your creative energy.
