[2007] Which artists/groups do yu think are overrated?

[JesA]

1. Mariah Carey!!! I really don't understand why she's always number 2 on the best voices in modern music lists! I tried her album The Emancipation of Mimi, and it was like songs from tons of different artists sang by just any other woman. They didn't really seem original to me. And her voice didn't move me at all...


So what about everyone else? What musical acts do yu feel get way more attention than they deserve?


*Oh, and for some reason i cant stop thinking that ive seen a thread like this, so if there was one, sorry about making a new one!!

Akon. I hate his voice and his songs are just ridiculously stupid.

A lot of rappers, too.

The reason Mariah's so popular is because of what she's consistently done. Her earlier albums showcased a superb vocal ability that she's till known for to this day. However, her voice just isn't quite the same as it used to be, but she's still viewed as a legend for what she once was. I think she deserves it, but I also agree that Mimi was a very blahhh album. I wasn't a fan. I miss the old Mariah.

As for who I think is overrated, I'm not really sure. That's a tough question. I guess maybe Ciara was when her first album came out. I really don't think she's anything special, at all.

I just noticed this post after I posted and I completely agree. His songs are extremely annoying, and many rappers are highly overrated. I think Eminem and P Diddy are definitely two of the most overrated.

^ I actually think Eminem is very talented, and I usually cannot stand rap.

Hmm...

I think that HIM is overrated...I built myself up to think that they were great and then when I actually listened to them I was unimpressed...

I cannot think of anyone else at the moment but I'm sure that someone else will come to mind.

ORANGE RANGE.
50 Cent .. at pathetic rap music.
The Pussycat Dolls / Nicole Scherzinger.
Nelly Furtado. SELLOUT

i'll have more later

Akon and Beyonce. I don't know why people think they're so great.

Beyonce isn't great, is amazing. Her vocals are absolutely amazing. Maybe you just don't like her and that's why you don't see it.

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

Most American singers, lol...

Especially the tweeny boppers...

Hey, you came into this thread, there's no reason to bash someone else's opinion when they mention an artist that you think is great as "overrated".

I don't really think Ayashi was bashing meerkitty by saying "Maybe you just don't like her", but I agree that this is the kind of thread where everyone is just stating their opinion and they should be left alone

Akon beyonce pussicat dolls and A LOT of rapper..and ayaka

[Miku]

I hate Eminem, Justin Timberlake & Mariah Carey >.<

[Super Ichiban]

John Mayer.

[voltron]

I can't stand Justin Timberlake.

Or Madonna. I don't think she could hit a note if it were nailed to the wall in front of her. And her lyric writing is really absurd. I can still appreciate her as a pop-icon, but I can't take her seriously as any sort of artist.

voltron.. watch out..
if Vinylfantasy saw that..

I have to agree on Madonna.Maybe she was just before my time, but I do not see the big deal about her.

Rhianna (sp?). Is it just me, or can she not sing for anything? D:

Omg agreed. I can't stand her.

Timbaland. It's not even like he's the artist on most songs, he's just there.

The other month in an hour on the radio about 5 songs came on that he'd produced and 'sang' on.

Fergie! If she has to say in every song that she's not a ho', then she's obviously giving off the wrong impression.

Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse - Enough said.

Shakira. I was actually one of those who liked her before Laundry Service, and still didn't see that album as a sell out. But she's since dissapointed. A lot.
