There are several people in the music business whose careers I really don't get. I just don't understand why they became famous because I cannot see any talent what so ever.

There are some that get over because they look good like Brittany Spears but I can at least understand why she has had success.
These are a few of the poeple that I just don't get:
Wayne Newton
Chubby Checker
Jazzy Pha
Pink
Aaron Neville and his brothers
the chick that won American Idol last year.....there are several more whose careers just blow my mind.

You don't get why the Neville brothers are successful?? They are real musicians that play real music. Check it!

1- Fake Mc's & Fake RNB: 50 CENT, Pharell, Nelly, LLCool J, DMX,Missy...

2- Fake Singers: Britney, Kylie, Reality TV singers,

3- Fake Showman: Celine Dion, Madonna,Usher, MJ(except BAD Tour)

4- Fake Musician: Lenny, Beck, Wyclef, Elton John

5- Fake Rockers: Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Rolling Stones

and so much more.....

To Be Continued....

Madonna.

In a way I know why her career has lasted this long but it has very little to do with talent.

Barry Manilow

My Knowledge Of Music doesn't start in 94 and the emergence of Beck
I can give free musical tuition anytime my friend.

kanamit said:

Keep 'em coming but MJ in his day was very good entertainer. That performance on Motown 25 of the song "Billy Jean" left me speechless.

Pink is the bomb and deserves whatever success she has. She can sing

kanamit said:

You're saying to world's coolest, oldest, and most successful rockers are fake?

And LL Cool J is a fake MC?

SexyBeautifulOne said:

I'm laughing at his entire post...

kanamit said:

I understand if you dont like him.. or whatever the reason is.. but I know a good bit about beck, and there isn't much fake about him.. I have MANY live performances, the man holds his own.

Anybody from American Idol, Making the Band, etc.

Find a Karaoke bar or audition for broadway.

I think if Simon wasn't there dissing practically everyone evilly, no one would watch that crap and they know it, the more outrageous he gets, I know they're trying to keep up ratings.

Eminem

LadyQ said:

I'd have to agree to a point. Ruben and Fantasia both have some singing skill though. Not great but good.....

Kelly Clarkston

Jessica and Ashley Simpson

Piff Doody...Peff Duddy...Poff Deddy...ah hell...Sean Combs!!

SexyBeautifulOne said:

One of those Simpson girls is fine and that's why she is successful. America love cuteness with No talent, especially if it has blonde hair.

Graycap23 said:

I forgot to add: Pat Boone, backstreet boys, all for one, Hammer, Frank Sinatra.

Graycap23 said:

oh come on, quit it now... you can't be serious, can you?

Frank together with Billie Holiday pretty much defined what is "singing" in Pop music culture... before them there was nothing... the impact those had at their time is on the same level with MJ in the 80ees

kisscamille said:

i dont know anything about the nevillebros...but it irks me when people say stuff like "are real musicians that play real music."(no offense to you camille) cause that doesnt always equal good music.
