While I feel there are many overrated singers in the Asian and Western music scene. I only have one thing to say right now:

KE$HA

I agree with what he says, if anyone wants reasoning (in spoiler for inappropriate language):
Spoiler:


The only thing I don't agree with that he says is when he mentions how she has a few good songs. No.

@amorphose: LOL! i love this guy. i am laughing so hard. i think a few of her songs are decent. overrated however. (LOL @ "did i just see Kevin Jonas in a Viagra commercial")

Tohoshinki. BIG BANG. and pretty much any boy band
also 2NE1. SNSD. 4minute. Hyori Lee. and many korean girl groups/solo artists

when i finally gave them a really good listen thanks to very helpful people here i just really didnt see what was so special. they kinda disturb me. like they try to hard to be "cool". i noticed that at first with 2NE1 with the irritating announcing 2NE1 in their songs. . .i wont seriously bash them. i just need more in depth stuff .but clearly many people. all they need is simple stuff like that (simple to me).

YUI. .. Ikimono-gakari. . .lovely. like a few songs from Ikimono actually but theyre not that amazing.

Perfume. . .ill like a song if i can feel the meaning to it and its good. its hard to hear emotion from them so if theres none the song has too absolutely superb.

Kumi Koda: amazing, no? i actually like her a LOT. some amazing songs. but overrated. too much. but i guess her type appeals to people

Nami Tamaki, Angela Aki, Crystal Kay, Kana Nishino , ICONIQ: overrated overrated overrated. . .(but i like a few songs from each. or a couple songs XD)

Katy Perry, Ke$ha, most male r&b artists (except Chris Brown XD), TI, Eminem and i could go on. . .

Morning Musume, Maki Goto, AKB48, Arashi, Dreams Come True, Exile, Yuna Ito, melody., Rina Aiuchi, NEWS, Anna Tsuchiya, Uverworld, . . .im tired of going. . .

mmm. . .i cant really say any jrock bands are overrated. many are underrated imo.

To be honest, the problem I often have with threads are people calling an artist "overrated" for some of the most personal and sometimes ... not relevant reasons.

I'm not aiming directly at you StrawbariSnowAyumi, but you just happened to be the poster directly above me so I'm going to take this as an example XD

"Perfume. . .ill like a song if i can feel the meaning to it and its good. its hard to hear emotion from them so if theres none the song has too absolutely superb. "

But the point of the group isn't to convey emotions. It's to make catchy dance tunes. Your complaint would work if they'd even try to make emotional songs and if everyone was raving about how emotional their songs are, but they're not and no one is. They make dance tunes, people like them for that. If you'd think their dance tunes were crappy, that'd be a whole different story ...

Or maybe I'm just making no sense at all!

Oh please. I'm not going to be mad because u can't read my mind and sont understand me. Yes those are reasons keeping from liking perfume more. u can convey emotions in dance tunes btw. But anyhow my point that I didn't mention that ur targeting me for
....I do think they're overrated. Apparently I picked the wrong reason to present that.
I do not find so many of their songs that amazing. They are decent half of the time but often not amazing imo.I've liked songs from them from time to time at least


Oh I also forgot to mention Namie Amuro. I believe she's way overrated. I love her though <3

Ke$ha: specially for that stupid overrated "Tik Tok" song I hate it sooo much.
Justin Bieber: if I hear that stupid song "Baby" one more time I'm going to scream.
Katy Perry: yeah her latest song is a rip off of Tik Tok.
Jonas Brothers: how can anyone like them.

Lady Gaga: Being tacky and weird does not automatically equal you being super-duper original. This being said, not everything she's done is crappy and weird. She has her moments. But overrated; hell yeah.

Ke$ha: She's a joke to me. I just can't see what's so damn great about her. She looks...almost filthy. I do not like the way she "sings. Her songs are pure ear-rape to me. *sighs*

Yup yup +
Justin Bieber - ummmmmmmmm when girls keep saying "oh he's so hot!!" I think... "Ummm...he looks like a girl & has a reli girly voice... ?!?!?!" Sooo overrated and his (her...?) songs are so annoying (=_=) I'm getting sooo sick of hearing every fangirl that I pass screeching "OOOH BABY BABY BABY BABY OOOOOOH"

Jonas Brothers - wtf is so amazing about them?? They are ugly, have no talent, and reli annoying...

I have to + this too, omg! I forgot all about Justin Bieber. Then again, the girls who fawn over him are mostly like 12, 13...It's...painful when someone my age does that

Jonas Brother are average at their best. I can't listen to their music at all.

I really, really, REALLY hate the terms overrated and underrated. Most people will say someone is overrated when they just suck and no one even rates them highly. So I think some people just call people they hate overrated.

But, I'll go with Beyonce. Yeah, she can sing, but she gets so much damn praise it's ridiculous. She's not an amazing vocalist, her songs aren't catchy, and she's not a great lyricist. She was better in that group Destiny's Child.

Hikaru Utada

I mean, her songs are okay and there are a couple I really love but most of her music is just mediocre. It sounds like generic 2nd-rate western music and her voice isn't as good as everyone says it is. She doesn't have much range and overuses falsetto

The Beatless (I still don't get why people like their music so much), Ke$ha (She's a joke), Justin Bieber (Don't get me started...), The Jonas Brothers (Same as JB), Utada Hikaru (I like her music but it isn't THAT good), Lady Gaga (I love her and she's a good entertainer and singer, but she's overrated).

Lady GaGa - Proof that being outrageous can get you famous but I think she knows that perfectly well so I guess she is smart in a way...

Ke$ha - Speaks for itself.

Drake - At first I thought it was pretty cool that the biggest rapper at the moment was Canadian but then when I listened to his new album I changed my mind. Overall, his "rapping" sounds almost as lazy as the beats and the lyrics are very poorly executed.

Ke$ha, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry.

And I never thought, I'd say this, but Lady Gaga. I used to adore her, but recently I've lost my way with her due to the fact that I feel she is becoming a horrible person with all this fame. And she really is overrated now, just because she does crazy things.
