Who is the most overrated SINGER in your opinion?

[ElissaDido]

For me it's Taylor Swift!
I still can't figure out why she's so popular :/ Her songs are average even childish and annoying sometimes,
her voice is veryyyy average and even her looks are average. So who is the most overrated singer for you?

[existing_not_living]

Right now?

Meghan Trainor
Taylor Swift
One Direction
Selena Gomez
Justin Bieber

I know some people might (or have) said Beyonce, but she has worked hard to get where she is and she has a lot of ACTUAL talent. She is an amazing performer, an amazing voice and she is also a black R&B/Pop singer who made it to the top. Respect to her. People have also dissed Michael Jackson and said he's overrated, but I disagree with that as well. He is a legend and no one can ever replace the King of Pop.

Now, there is at least one song from each artist I listed above that are overrated to me that I like. I won't deny that. Even so, it's mostly because they have a catchy beat and it doesn't mean they are actually that great of a song. I have heard spectacular songs with real meaning and real heart and soul put into them. The words are beautiful. Sure, a song might have a great message or whatever, but Shake It Off is hardly that amazing of a song. I love the song, don't get me wrong. It's my anthem when I'm feeling down, but it's mainly the beat that keeps things alive, not the lyrics.

Honestly, most pop singers (especially these days) are overrated. Most of them have average voices enhanced with autotune. Everything you said about T-Swift is spot on. The reason why she is so amazing to people is because she is the epitome of what we have been told to believe is "beautiful." She is white, tall, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She's "perfection." Truth is, she's just another average white girl, but with money and fame, she's just oh so much more than that. ***Not bashing on white people.***

Rihanna: Her stuff is so repetitive! She wasn't too bad when she first started, but now her stuff is pretty much always about love or sex and always has the same annoying clapping beat in every song

Beyonce: Her vocals are decent but she sings flat a lot and her versions of other people's songs are bad.. Ex: Etta James' "At Last, " and Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American. " She does not have as strong a voice as she would like people to believe she does.

Madonna: she's not a good singer, she can just do a good show and dance, that's why people like her.

Taylor Swift: Nothing special, nothing bad, cliche lyrics, average range.

Chris Brown: He whines on every track. Can't hold a candle to Trey or Usher.

Selena Gomez: Selena can't sing - She's autotuned to sound natural. She can dance, act and has a pretty face which is why her fans are so protective over her. But the truth is that she can't sing and that's that.

Kanye West: Most of his raps are ghost written.

Nicki Minaj: Repeats the same words as passes them off as lyrics because she can't really rhyme. Has copied a lot of little Wayne's style.

Britney Spears: who, like Madonna, has made a career out of catchy pop songs and sex appeal, without a great voice.

Coldplay: way too heavily innflunced by U2 and Chris Martin's vocals are weak and messy.

Janet Jackson: relies on sex appeal and dancing to cover up for her lack of voice and range.

[Falling4UTC]

Her songs that she writes on her own are lyrical masterpieces. They are catchy. Her so called childish ones are the ones on the radio. Check out her vocals in this video

[CaramelCookie]

Adele

[Youdoyouboo]

Her voice is very distinguishable and whenever I hear it it just seems like watching a movie over and over again. Was good the first time and now it's getting old. All of it sounds the same.

[QuarterNote]

@Youdoyouboo Yeah, she's an excellent vocalist in her technique and emotion, but for some reason, her tone can get pretty monotonous after hearing it for a long while. Reminds me of this pasta sauce I ate from this bad Italian restaurant...

[Youdoyouboo]

@QuarterNote LOL yes

[CaramelCookie]

Thanks for mho

[Lynx122]

There's sooooo many that are overrated :) The one that came to my mind right now is Ellie Goulding. She can't actually sing. I saw like videos of her trying to sing live and she can't do it She has a voice that's super weak but it sounds decent with a edm beat and that's the only reason she's famous. But it only works if she's in the studio and she can basically whisper in the microphone and then they raise the volume :P.

[SuitAndTie]

Miles Cyrus

[MeIsTomboy]

Taylor Swift... just average and def not my type of music. Rumors around where I live is that she breaks up with all of the men that she has dated just so she can write love songs or whatever they are and get pity and just have fans that love her. 🙄🫤🙄

[BCA6010]

I'm struggling to think of any prominent singers who aren't overrated... Even the ones who would generally have been acknowledged as talented in their prime are shadows of themselves now.

If I had to pick just one, I'd probably agree with Taylor Swift. She hasn't been anything special since she first started as a country-pop hybrid, and every fangirl I've ever known for the last 10+ years was disappointed to actually hear her perform live.

[EllieLexis513]

Beyonce... and Meghan Trainor.

I used to like Meghan Trainor until I realized that the songs she wrote makes no sense. She always said that the music she writes is about her and how she feels. So you want your 'Dear Future Husband' to be okay with your weight because you're 'All About That Bass' but a man better not ever approach you because you'll just tell him 'No'? The fuck? That doesn't make any sense.

[chintita]

is this a thread of "name chintita's favorite musicians"? lmfao i like jb [purpose <3], ariana grande [love 'into you'], nicki minaj [best], beyonce [she's good], 1D [decent] etc etc

only ones i don't like are t swift and katy perry

[HookingSwan]

she's gorgeous

her voice is lovely

i dont likt all her songs, but I admit i like her song called "mean" and "shake it off"

I think you're being too hard on her for some reason

I've seen people less talented

[Omar5881]

Agreed lol , what's app? 😛

[BCRanger10]

Taylor Swift is definitely one of them.

Nirvana, System Of A Down, Blink 182, Bruno Mars, and after "Dear Future Husband", I lost ALL respect for Megan Trainor.

[QuarterNote]

I think Nirvana deserved their fame, since people gravitated towards them, despite them actively trying to not be mainstream. Pretty impressive.

Bruno Mars is definitely one of the most talented people in the industry. If there's a throne, he can have it.

I don't know System of A Down or Blink 182 all that much.

I agree with Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor, yup yup yup.

[ConsultantIsBack]

I have no idea why Meghan Trainor is even popular tbh

[BubbleBoy69]

How is she overrated?

sugarscape.cdnds.net/.../...164-meghantrainor1.gif

[ConsultantIsBack]

@BubbleBoy69 She's average af looks wise, talent wise, music ability wise.

[rahul1307ghosh]

can't agree... Sorry... Megan is good... If u pay attention to her music. .. Its more meaningful than the others

[Rocket_Queen]

The Beatles... any of The Beatles. I know they are supposed to be this legend that we all love but I absolutely hate everything they sing.

[handsomelad70]

You lack musical taste, Rocket_ Queen.

[AleDeEurope]

Most of the popular singers today are waaaaaay overrated.

[TadCurious]

I agree with you about her songwriting and her voice. But I do think she's a beautiful girl, and I think that explains at least part of her popularity.

[Miezko]

Well, she's actually a very good stuff writer. When she was a kid, she won a national poetry competition.
But I think the most overrated, not singer but musician is the insane clown posse. All they do is try to offend people.

[MrAtticusLebowski]

Beyonce... after leaving Destiny's Child she's been just meh.

[FunkyMonkee]

Frank Sinatra, Jim & Van Morrison, Madonna, Bono (not Sonny), Michael Stipe, Bruce Springsteen, Bette Midler, Barry Manilow and there's probably a number of others.

[Pinay_ako]

too many but most popular auto tune singers of today even rappers are overrated. Trash music.

[somebodysaycheese]

Beyonce. She just steals her style from overseas singers who aren't known like American singer and brands it.

[Aetumn]

And maybe her music's good. Are you jealous of her or something?

[ElissaDido]

Jealous? LMAO
Not appreciating an artist makes you jealous of them now?

[Aetumn]

You're judging someone who makes music for a living by her looks (how does that even come into discussion?) and her voice which she can't really change. Seeing the money she's making she must be doing something right, and your question sounds a lot more like someone venting off rather than actual interrogation.
Not very constructive.

[ElissaDido]

You really think that her looks have nothing to do with her sucess? LOL

[Aetumn]

You're contradicting yourself either they helped, and in that case they're not average, or they didn't. Either way, given the number of hot gals that never made it to her level, I think there's possibly a bit more than just looks.

[ElissaDido]

Well, if people are not allowed to question the talent and fame of celebrities, you better like and appreciate every single famous celebrity out there that made it, because hey! It necessarily means they have talent. Including the kardashian clan.

[Aetumn]

No, I just expect slightly better arguments than "her looks are average". The comment on her voice is actually a better start, seeing it does count when she makes music for a living, but in my view still not enough too justify claiming an artist is overrated.

I'm just saying, if you're going to criticize someone, at least make the effort of doing it properly.

[Yumix]

in my opinion many popular pop singers are overrated... but it's also not my kind of music/entertainment

I don't really listen to those so I can't point one out

[puncakegirl]

Watch what you say.. You might have offended some fan girls @BertMacklinFBI

[BertMacklinFBI]

oh my gosh you're back

[puncakegirl]

For a while maybe ^^
@BertMacklinFBI

[BertMacklinFBI]

don't leave me too soon lol

[puncakegirl]

Awwh if you insist munchkin lol @BertMacklinFBI

[BertMacklinFBI]

if shit goes south, I'll know where to find you :D

[puncakegirl]

Yuss you know where to find me ;) @BertMacklinFBI

[crisnas]

beyonce. J. Lo. They both suck and made millions... sex sells, not talent

[Sara413]

Noooooo!! I love TSwift!

I think Beyonce is suuuuper overrated.
