Who you find overrated and corny?

Elvis- cheesy and corny to see bikini clad girls prancing around him
aimlessly like useless props looking silly
It didn't help when he nicked off Lil' Richard and Chuck Berry's music either.

Justin TimberFAKE - no better than Elvis in the nicking department.
Rips off Michael Jackson in "Justified" and if that wasn't enough, he ripped off Janet's bra in Superbowl, ran off, made no apologies for it.
Tacky if you ask me.
And just when you thought he's pretty much had enuff of ripping, he copied yet another 80’s artist – Prince, in Future sex/love sounds.
Annoying and irritating me to no end with his nasally vocals and squeaking like a chicken in the slaughter house.
Can't dance to save his life.
There's nothing attractive about his looks,
Looking like a towel being squeezed out its water
Everything about him is jacking off someone.

U2's Bono. What's the big deal about him and his humanitarian effort?
Last time I checked, Michael Jackson is the single greatest artist to have contributed to charity and humanitarian causes. It's even listed in the Guinness book of records. And "He makes it a point to visit hospitals on his tour for every country he's performing " says Tom Mesereau.

Music wise, Bono's only so so.
Image wise, he needs to stop stealing Michael's signature aviators
you cracked me up!
your post sounds so damn funny and so true!! :lol:

Justin Timberlake: i don't mind some songs, but a majority of them are annoying.
T-Pain: a 5 year old can write better lyrics than him. no creativity there.
Britney: i like her performances, but her music is laughable.
50 Cent: liked his first album, but his last 2 are garbage and unoriginal.
Soulja Boy: another one hit wonder on the scene.
 
^lol preach it brother!


Slipknot (just trying to listen to their 'music' gives me a headache :lol: )
Julia Roberts (she plays the same role in every movie)
Robbie Williams (talentless, absolutely talentless. The only reason he became famous was because of Guy Chambers.)
Chris Brown (in what delusional world do people think this guy can sing? lmao)


OMG ! LOL!
 
Oh and while this thread has been bumped up, lol there is one artist in particular who I'm finding really irritating and corny: Enrique Igelaiease (sp?) He's so fricking boring; his songs and music videos all have the same theme: being in love or lusting after a girl and he has no personality what so ever! Just a pretty boy with little to no substance in his artistic talents!

As for Enrique Iglesias, I agree with you Andy about his videos they are ALL the same... And his music has gotten a bit repetitive as well....

I don't think Madonna is overrated, within the boundaries of pop music. What she lacks for in her voice (which isn't exactly terrible) I think she makes up for in songwriting and overall ability to manage her own creative vision.

There is a Dutch singer called Floor Jansen who sings in a band called After Forever, she is hugely underrated and in my opinion can do more with her voice than any other singer mentioned here. It's very frustrating when ridiculously average singers like Britney storm the charts when someone as amazing as Floor would inspire the same millions to sing half-decently.



Matter of tastes so ..i realy think Madonna IS overrated artisticaly .
 
I think Amy Whinehouse is vastly overrated. Many would disagree with me, because I hear about her massive talent constantly, but I simply don't see or hear it. At least, not to the same extent.
 
Check out her first album, Frank.

I am not a fan but I can't deny her talent. And I like her songs more than 80% of the mainstream music.

I don't understand what all the hype is about Beyonce. I never could. She can't sing to save her life, she can't dance/she looks awkward when she dances, her songs are crap, and truth be told, other than having killer legs and hips, she's okay/average looking, not drop dead gorgeous like the media claim she is. IMO

I must agree, I can't stand T-Pain, nor Soulja Boy.

Those two just pollute the world, like cockroaches.

T- BLOODY PAIN IN THE ASS!!! I really don't see what people see in this clown. How the hell did he get a deal? Those voicebox effects get to me more than anything. What scares me is that he's one of the most popular acts today. I really think I should leave South Africa and move to America and hustle for a deal. I'm hella of alot better looking then T-Pain and I can sing much better than Chris Brown. I know that aint saying much but it seems like those are the minimum requirments to make it in the music bizz these days.Writing songs wont be diddicult too, all I have to do is sing bout the rims on my cars and how many "shawties" I scored with lasnight. And I aint even joking.

T-Pain is a great producer, plain and simple. He may even be overrated, but he's not just some "singer" or "rapper". He's a producer, and his songs are kick a**, for the most part. The beats and the melodies, at least. Some of the content is just freaking retarded, but he knows how to make music that people want to hear. All of his songs have basically been hits.

But yeah, anyway, my two cents....

Corny/Overrated:

I'd have to say the Beatles, Elvis, Prince (he's a fantastic technical musician at piano and guitar, and has great energy on stage, but his songs suck for the most part), Madonna (eeeew), Britney Spears (corny, but not overrated--no one takes her seriously), Mariah Carey (nowadays she's really cheesy and played out), Chris Brown (joke), Rihanna (joke), Timbaland (it's getting old--his sh*** all sounds the same and he needs to stop stealing obscure classical arabic songs and turning them into hip-hop beats), Alicia Keys (she bores me now, her songs are cliche and uncreative), Justin TimberFake, 50 Cent, Eminem, .

Man I could go on all day so I'd better stop here lol. I've probably pissed some people off too lol.

Kanye West - If he's the best rapper ever then Hip Hop is dead. If Kanye was around during the golden age of Hip Hop he would have been laughed off stage

Timberland - I know that alot of people love him but his music really bores me. That apologise song makes me wanna go to sleep

Uggh, I HATE that song, "Apologise".

But yeah, Kanye sucks. The fact that he's so arrogant is actually a part of why he gets on my nerves. He's trying to brainwash everyone (including himself) into believing that he's "the best", when no, he isn't. And never will be.
 
I don't agree that Mariah is overrated. Her music lately sucks, that's just being honest, because I'm a fan. But her voice really is as good as it's made out to be. The music she's been doing lately just doesn't allow her to showcase it, at all. But if you wanna see how good she really is, check out Mariah Carey on the Fantasy tour and Mariah Carey Live from 1993. Whitney Housten is overrated, imo. Now I'm gonna go run and hide while I get pelted with rocks from the surley crowd.

The rest of your guys' answers I agree with though, lol. And the way you're describing some of these "artists" is hilarious, lol.

You're right, Mariah was great.... I've seen recent publicity performances she's done for the new album [GMA, etc] and she struggles with every note. That's not to take away from her former greatness, but the voice isn't there anymore. It's nearly as raspy as her speaking voice.

IMHO Mariah, even at her peak, couldn't touch Whitney at hers. The power, the technique, Whitney Houston is truly one of, if not the greatest vocalist of all time.

The only artist today that truly annoys me and lord knows i wish Madge had not worked with that ass is Justin. I couldn't care less about him not acknowledging Michael I have never dranked the Justin juice period. I'd take Brian of the BackstreetBoys and JC of N'synce over that dorky looking MF!
 
Whitney is far from the greatest vocalist of all time. She makes the top 20 of the last 20 years. Her technique isn't as good as Mariah's, and her voice isn't as technically good, and in my opinion, she has less soul.
