第一次听shania的歌,是在九十年代末的一个夏日,一张年度格莱美合集的磁带,就是这首《Any Man Of Mine》,自由奔放,流畅潇洒的唱法一下就抓住了我的心,她的歌声就如一股暖风滚滚而来,沁人心脾.那时经常拿出来听听,每次都沉浸在莫名的喜悦中,那时并没在意她的名字,印象中的声音好象是个中年妇女.总觉得她的歌声给人以一种积极向上的力量,痴迷一直到磁带掉磁无法读取为止。
原来是号称最美丽的美国乡村女歌手。

This is what a woman wants...
Any man of mine better be proud of me
Even when I'm ugly he still better love me
And I can be late for a date that's fine
But he better be on time
Any man of mine'll say it fits just right
When last year's dress is just a little too tight
And anything I do or say better be okay
When I have a bad hair day
And if I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I like it that way
Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin' Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine
Well any man of mine better disagree
When I say another woman's lookin' better than me
And when I cook him dinner and I burn it black
He better say, mmmm, I like it like that yeah
And if I changed my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I like it that way
Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I like it that way
Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine
You gotta shimmy shake
Make the earth quake
Kick, turn, stomp, stomp, then you jump
Heel to toe, Do Si Do
'Til your boots wanna break
"Til your feet and your back ache
Keep it movin' 'til you just can't take anymore
Come on everybody on the floor
A-one two, a-three four
Hup two, hum
This is what a woman wants...
i'm gonna getcha good Red
后来又听见这首歌,I`m Gonna Getcha Good Red 已经是多年以后的事了,又一下子被她的声音抓住了,就像突然被物件击中一样.阴郁的心情就像擦亮了阳光的玻璃.风格显然还是偏流行摇滚一面的, 旋律甜美, 节奏动人.心情马上好了起来。

Shania 源于印第安语,意思是"我在我的路上" 或是"一直在我的路上前行",Shania 很小就开始演出,用Shania自己的话说"童年是伴随吉他度过的"。
在追求音乐真谛的同时, Shania也锻炼她坚强的意志,她软弱的外表之下是坚强和勇敢的灵魂。在21岁时SHANIA 的父母死于车祸,"我的私生活急速地变化了。当我的父母死了时,我的兄弟和妹妹仍然在家中生活,我完全成为了我的弟弟和妹妹们的另一个母亲. 。"SHANIA 肩负起家庭生活的重担,并开始她的歌星之路。这个不幸的事件推进了她的音乐的事业,促使她成为一名年轻的艺术家。
仙妮亚·唐恩很快就取得了成功,在90年代, Shania 迅速蹿红, 成为最畅销的乡村歌手之一. 她也创作了许多流行和摇滚歌曲, 她以自己能自己唱自己写的歌而自豪: "创作歌曲是我生命中非常重要的一件事. 我希望我的每首歌都独具特色, 能表达不同的态度和感情, 让更多人在我的歌中找到自我."
在发行 <The Woman In Me> 后, 她成为目前最优秀的乡村女歌手. 她的成名单曲包括 "I’m Outta Here", "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?", "Any Man of Mine", "You Win My Love", "No One Needs To Know" 等.
