I was recently talking to my friend about artists being overexposed and whether it make's you just tired of them for awhile.

There have been older artists that even though i didn't live in the era the hype for some of there albums i heard then listened to it like downplayed me a bit..... I Was on a crazy Miles Davis kick after listening to Kind Of blue and thought this may very well be the best jazz album of all time. I heard so much talk about Sketches Of Spain and jazz legends hyping it so much that the cd was so underwheliming i stopped listening to Davis for awhile.

Recently i was very interested in GaGa's new album and i am glad i listened to it but now i am tired of her, she is incredibly over exposed and i hear her song's somewhere almost everyday and i'm just sick of her now

Who are some artist's you guy's have liked that gone to overexposed to the point you just had to take a break from them?

I don't pay attention to the media/gossip, don't listen to the radio, and watch little television. So nobody's overexposed to me.

It's the same with me. I don't listen to radio and the only TV I watch that features contemporary music is MTV's Subterranean--all indie artists.

I see Lady Gaga talked about a lot here and written about in print, but I may have heard "Born This Way" only once. And I've never heard any songs at all by Katy Perry or Justin Beiber.

I always find it odd that people complain about someone's overexposed or the music on the radio or the programs on TV are no good. Well don't listen to it or watch it then. They go into threads about the act (ie. Beyonce) just to gripe about them. Look at the threads that are popular in this section. They tend to be about gossip, and gossip is the most overexposed thing of them all.

Managing expectations is a huge part of commerce.

I don't listen to the radio, but i usually don't like it when an artist releases too much in too little time.

Think that's when the overexposure for me begins. Like Gaga or Beyonce release single after single very quickly. I start to loose interest.

An album or a song needs to grow for me.

The 60's wouldn't have been a good time for me

That's EXACTLY what I was going to say. I'm not plugged into the avenues they'd need me to be plugged into in order to OVER expose me. I'm plugged-in just enough to be aware of what's out there.

I'd agree with you like seven years ago. Nowadays I don't even watch many of the celebrity-related events on TV (it's usually Investigation Discovery, truTV or Animal Planet) and I play just CDs, haven't listened to anything on radio since 2005. So no, I don't know if overexposure would kill any artist.

only over hype, like with beyonce, all hype little substance, and mediocre talent.

I don't even care about lady gaga, because his music doesn't appeal to me, yes some of it sounds good, i think from the first album, but im too scared to listen to it, because i know it has some kind of of satanic meaning/message in it.

The way her fans worship her, it has to be some kind of voodoo in the music.

I enjoy listening to Adele a lot less ever since the media proclaimed her as the best thing since sliced bread - It's not her fault though, but overexposure and media hype does put me off an artist slightly.

I read somewhere recently that Justin Timberlake's record label refused to allow him to be credited or appear in BEP's "Where's the love" single because they thought he was too overexposed at the time. Maybe Columbia should take leaf out of Jive's book when promoting Beyonce.

See, Beyonce would be a great example of how over exposed I'm NOT. The last time I can remember seeing her perform was at Obama's Inauguration. And the last song I can remember her singing (...besides "At Last") was "Single Ladies" when that video was new and hot. And probably as a result, I do not HATE Beyonce. Actually, I had the reverse reaction to Beyonce: I hated her in the beginning when everyone else LOVED her. I didn't begin to like her until she did that song where she's rockin' that Hoola-Hoop in the video, lol. I was like... ...this chick got more legs than a bucket of chicken!!! These days, I tolerate Beyonce just fine.

No offense, but that's really a stupid reason not to listen to someone.

It's 2011, and we're STILL over analyzing lyrics that people with too much time on their hands think could be Satanic?

I thought that shit got played out with Ozzy Osbourne and Marilyn Manson!

Why don't we just burn her at the stake, or push her over a cliff to see if she flies!

I guess your question could be answered depending on your own tastes in music. For me, someone like Beyonce was waaayyyy overexposed for about 4 years. They managed to package it in many different ways. This includes magazines, music, videos, award shows, websites, talk shows, etc. That's when people got really tired of her.

The same could be said for Lady Gaga. After "Just Dance" caught on and the record label saw she was selling in big numbers, they decided to overexpose her to the world. Not only did we get a ton of singles and another album, but she was everywhere (live, print, etc.).

I never remember acts like Madonna, Prince and MJ doing this. Sure, Prince released an album every year, but he made it a point to just keep spins on the radio while doing a few appearances and a few print things. Now, companies utilize every avenue they can (including slurpee cups).

Yup. Same here. Maybe it also has something to do with who you hang out with.

The only reason I know about Gaga is because she seems to be a topic of conversation with some of the gays I know. But, I've only heard her songs here and there and even then, someone has to point out that it's her singing, as pop-dance music all sounds the same to me. I knew of her new album because West Hollywood has a billboard promoting it but even then it wasn't interesting enough for me to look into it. There is no video channel (that I know of anyway) and the only way to find out about these artist's new videos is to go on youtube and I don't do that.

By 1984, MJ was overexposed. Singles from Thriller were still doing well, he was the guest vocalist on 'Somebody's Watching Me' and 'Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin'' and then The Jacksons' Victory album came out. He was EVERYWHERE.

its not really that, i cant take HYPE, especially when its not warranted, which pretty much sums up everything now, there is way too much media spent on way too little music, and diversity. too much time and energy on one or two artists when you could just spread it all out and have some damn competition again and force these artists to actually RECORD and up the ante with their work not their TALK.

ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS!!!

and maybe you been listening to much to lady gaga for you to even take offence at what i said.

again its not that serious. and I don't care if it was 3011, there is such thing as Subliminal messaging and Voodoo witch craft.

what i said was not stupid, HOW you responded it stupid, and how ignorant you are. Just how you think people who believe that occult/demonic stuff to be true are crazy, there are others who think people like you are SHEEPLE, IGNORANT, BLIND, and just go along with any kind of agenda, and they feel sorry for you.

MJ was over exposed, but he lived up to the hype. HE had talent to back it up.

So i wouldn't mind MJ being over exposed.

lol you know gaga is pretty much to me but come on...What the hell is witchcraft anyway? Come down to earth already!!

Nope how are they supposed to get big and successful without being overexpose. People want their artists to blow up but when they do they complain. It’s not so much the artist all the time it’s just random people and the media who hyped the artist up. Just because you over the artist doesn’t mean everyone is. lol

I used to know some people who practice Wiccan.

I Won't lie and i'm not afraid of a backlash because i am simply stating my opinion

I am so tired of Michael Jackson... since 09 the over exposure level for the man has taken a leap of 10,000 plus 3000 million pepsis and heroin all mixed in.

I mean some people act like Michael was the greatest thing not person, i mean person or thing that was ever created and graced the planet earth and nobody is better.

I mean i love MJ but i can not listen to him much anymore like the media and his crazy fans have killed it for me a bit

Yeah, that happens to me alot. It's like the more an artist is shoved down my throat, the more I avoid them.

Alicia Keys is a big one from recent years. I probably would be a fan if the overexposure and hyping weren't so extreme that it left a permanent bad taste in my mouth. Which, I'm not blaming her for because it probably wasn't her fault.

Same thing for Beyonce.

True.

Same With Madonna and Prince back then. Constant releases, magazines and news. You couldn't get away. I guess the internet is the big difference now.

I click on a news site and there's a bunch of talentless hacks staring back at me at any given time. I guess it helps their longevity, cause there's a few who've stretched their limitations well beyond their 15 minutes.

I have not heard a Beyonce song since "Single Ladies" in 2008. What are you people doing that her music is being shoved down your throats?

Between the ages of ten and fourteen I listened to pretty much nothing but the complete catalogs of AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Kiss, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Anthrax, Megadeth and probably a few others that I am forgetting. I know most of those albums backwards and forwards and today I find it hard to listen to them. I'm glad that as an adult I can afford a bigger music collection so that I don't get sick of any one artist.

That's fair enough, your opinion is yours.

Were you around for Motown25, the 'Thriller' video release and the Victory tour?

Cause as i recall, he was way bigger then.
