what artist could sing the phonebook and have a hit?

this was a question I came across on another forum, so i thought I'd post it here to.

I'd think someone overly popular like 50 cent or so...that guys fans will probably buy anything.

Artists that are so good they could make a hit out of it? I dunno, Bowie?
It was not in vain...it was in Minneapolis!

U2-It'd be absolute shit but it would sell like hotcakes just because it's U2

well, his music doesn't count as "singing," but i bet 50 Cent could rap the phone book and have a hit. his real lyrics are just as inane. just put him mumbling names over a dr. dre beat and it's certified top 10...

50 cent could as long as the beat was good and the marketing was strong. Bowie, however, hasn't had what you'd call a hit with his own material-- as good as it undoubtedly is-- in decades so I doubt he could. That's not a bad thing though. It's gotten to the point I start lookin' sideways at something when it catches on with the mainstream.
