The Next Generation Of One Hit Wonders??

[Coelacanth]

What new artists recently coming out do you think will be one hit wonders?? could be american, japanese, whatever...

I'd definitely have to say Fountains Of Wayne... They had a hit with "Stacy's Mom", I just don't see them having another hit... unless maybe they came out with another single titled "Stacy's Dad"

[Corybobory]

lol "Stacy's dad, has got it going... bad..."

[M_aria]

I am hoping that Evanescence will dissapear soon...
But, it's still to soon to tell with most other artists. However, I'm thinking that Jason Mraz (is that how you spell his last name!?) might be on the hit list, I've heard of him for a while but i've only actually heard one song.
Is it just me, or do most of the artists that you'd normally think are going to be one hit wonders seem to be sticking around longer than expected?
But, there is the TWO hit wonder domain...

lol..evanescense cant be a one-hit wonder..they've had like 3 hit singles already.

lol "Stacy's dad, has got it going... bad..."

lol..

Um, Fountains of Wayne has been around for quite a while. So, they aren't new OR one hit wonders..

Also, I wish that Evanesence would fade away because I hate them so much.. Amy Lee's voice makes me want to curl up in a fetal position and slowly die. -.-;

As jerms said, they can't be one-hit wonders, but I wish they'd just.. GO AWAY.



Please, my ears need to stop bleeding from hearing them all the time..

oh well, you got those in Hong Kong also.... but somehow after like the second single, they actually get some fans, and tend to stay in the showbiz.. damnit

they have the quality of one hit wonders, but still score hit after hit. oh well, i guess that if your daddy is rich enough, you can just let him buy your fans (-> yes, im talking about Juno Mak.)

Yeah, I second that

[Corybobory]

I like Amy Lee's voice, it's just the style of music isn't my cup of tea...

[tl1029530921]

i dun see y so many ppl dont like evanessence. I like her voice...altho its kinda....."thin"..?

[AfanforXX]

anyone with a name like Amy Lee should NOT be allowed to become famous, it sounds like some hick-redneck girl. I third that Evenescense thing too, their music sounds like they try too hard, and the fact that they turned against the community that supported them in their early days (the christian music community) also turns me off.

[sxesven]

That Jason Mraz seems like a one-hit-wonder to me... god that stuff is so lame. Other than that, i wouldnt really know because Im not too informed on hitlists and such.

Fun fact: Did you know that, technically, Jimi Hendrix was a one-hit-wonder too?

[Chrono]

well, true... nut you have one-hit-wonders that last, and you have one-hit-wonders that don't

That redneck thing made me giggle.

And yes, they try too hard..especially to be goth. I'm sick of all these magazines calling them "goth rock" and "metal".. Do these people even listen to music at all?

>_O

That's pretty funny...

Seems to be Amy Lee is getting all the recognition and the band is kinda left out... I think they took advantage of the whole Linkin Park craze... I think their music is kinda similar. they aren't a bad group though IMO... Just leave them be

I hate Avril and GC and all those "fake rock" groups or whatever you call them... but there is really nothing you can do about it.

Actually Jason Mraz performs a lot live moreso than most people think. He generated most of his fanbase at first through live performances, then became more exposed when he released his 2 top-40 singles (just like Maroon 5 did). He is one of the few performers who is awesome live by singing solely with his acoustic guitar in the background. So even if you don't here him on the radio much, he is not a one hit wonder.

I think the "new" Kelis will be a 1-hit wonder. Even though she has been around for a long time, "Milkshake" is the only song of hers that has had A LOT of exposure. Plus last week's Saturday Night Live proved that the "new" Kelis can't sing for beans. Another 1-hit wonder, and I'm probably wrong about this, is DJ Sammy and the song "Heaven." Ever since "Heaven" became overplayed I never heard a new mix by DJ Sammy that was as exposed as "Heaven" was. Remember Samantha Mumba? She had 2 top-40 singles and then suddenly disappeared. Oh, and Daniel Beddingfield became a 2-hit wonder, but I know he was in the bad car accident so that's excusable.

People I wish would go away:
Hilary Duff (this shows that 12yr old Disney fans can make anyone famous even if the person has no talent)
Jessica Simpson (she takes the dumb blonde routine too far)
Beyonce Knowles (too many reasons to list)
Kelly Osbourne
Girl groups that try to be "punk rocker-ish"
Sean Paul (I can't ever understand a word he says)

[AfanforXX]

Hey now! Jessica Simpson can sing, it's just that they give her horrible songs. I 2nd all the other people on your list though, but you forgot Lindsay Lohan *shrug*

[jiayulam]

Outkast!

[sxesven]

Chibinina, you're totally correct, but Jason Mraz has had just one hit over here before, Holland, so the situation is of course somewhat different. So technically, he could still become a one-hit wonder over here ^^

OutKast can't be a one-hit wonder. They had a lot of hits and have been around for 10+ years.

[Chrono]

i know one! Jamai! everyone from holland should know what i mean

[sxesven]

lmao

But... sorry... he actually had TWO hits .
