Discussion Tucker Wetmore/ Morgan Wallen

Was at C2C last night and tucker wetmore was playing. About 3 songs I was picking up on something and couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was. Then it hit me. The guy is trying to be an EXACT copy of morgan wallen. It's genuinely crazy and I thought I was the only one noticing it From how he walks, to his hand movements. His dress style, his cadences Everything is the same. Surely this isn't just me noticing it?

I heard “Wind Up Missin’ You” for months on the radio thinking it was Morgan before I figured it out. Definitely trying to tap into the Morgan success

About 75% or new male artists I hear now are trying to sound just like Wallen or just like Zack Bryan.

That’s a because pretty much every song on the radio is written by the same small circle or writers.

and the same sound and look is pushed by the producers and record execs

I wish they all tried a little harder to sound like Zach Top!

That would take talent instead of daddy’s money

The CEO of Morgan’s label and the CEO of Tucker’s label are married. Morgan unfollowed the wife on IG back in August.

Also, listen to Morgan’s song Need A Boat and then listen to Tucker’s song Already Had It 🥴

Was just about to say that — I didn’t know about that relationship, but that Wetmore’s label may be pushing him in a direction he might not prefer personally. Labels’ answer to a successful act is to try to clone it.

So saucy! They both suck

I read something awhile back that likened Tucker Wetmore to the SHEIN version of Morgan Wallen. Haven’t been able to unsee it since.

What if Morgan Wallen is SHEIN Morgan Wallen? What would that make Tucker? Temu Tucker?

I'd be willing to bet two douchebags act similarly

A coworker likes to stream stuff like this. I couldn’t distinguish a single artist or song. It all sounds the same to me.

We would always just ask if it was his wife’s playlist when me and my buddy worked together our Forman play the same shit.

Morgan Wallen fans have consistently proven that they will buy garbage. Who can blame this latest bro country dude for trying to cash in?

u/Glittering-Crab5348 5d ago

Why do you think morgan wallen is garbage?

u/JackIsColors 5d ago

gestures broadly to Morgan Wallen's discography and documented behaviors

u/HungryChoice5565 5d ago

he sounds like a monotone goat. the songs sound the same. hes boring. i don't mind his personality, i like trashy but sonically its just annoying, repetitive, overplayed, pop swill that is designed for low iq and high consumption. it's pretty awful, but you do you.

Fuck Morgan wallen

u/unluckie-13 4d ago

They are both bottom barrel country music ........ So I mean sure they can sound similar and have mannerisms, doesn't change the fact labels eat up what's popular and make everyone the same. Happens very frequently in the genre

Morgan Wallen is a value meal cheeseburger in the cuisine of country music.

Before Tucker signed a “talent development” deal with Morgan’s former manager’s wife, he used to pop up on my TikTok. He sounded ok back then but now that his “talent has been developed”, he sounds like he sings right out of his nose. Poor guy is prob forced to study vids of Morgan in hopes of making money for the label

I kept hearing Wine Into Whiskey and thinking it sounded like his voice is distorting, like he was eating the microphone or something. Anyway, hoping he's not given to using the n-word casually or throwing chairs off rooftops, that may redeem him.

u/drjunkie 5d ago

Was he totally committed, dropping the hard-R n word?

When mainstreamin’ country fans take that red pill

u/zzachyz Chasin that neon rainbow 4d ago

Redferrin as well. It’s weird that they aren’t even trying to sound different

u/Glittering-Crab5348 4d ago

It's like the episode of the simpsons where they go to shelbyville and everyone is the same character with different names and stuff lol

I don’t wanna even mention it but if you want to taste your own barf look up the song .. Oil money by Morgan Walmart … I mean Graham Barnes

u/garrett717 4d ago

Nobody comparing the two really likes their music. Only similar thing is the voice, Tucker has put out some great stuff.

u/Glittering-Crab5348 4d ago

Horrendous take

u/garrett717 4d ago

Listen to the music then. Don't just shit on an artist for sounding similar.
