Excuse me if this topic has been done before, but I would like to get your views;

Who do you believe is today's most overated artist?

My guess would be- Beyonce.(Sorry 'bout that Beyonce fans)

*deep sigh*

pathetic

All the following

Akon T Pain Flo Rida Lil Wayne Lil Jon Ne Yo Kanye West James Blunt Lady Gaga any other disposable pop gangsta rapper

Beyonce!

I would agree with Beyonce. I'd like to add to that though:

*Mariah Carey
*Lil Wayne
*Rihanna
*Ne-yo
*Katy Perry
*Jazmin Sullivan
*Kanye West
*Alicia Keys
*T-Pain
*MADONNA



Smooches;)

i think t-pain and lil' wayne are way overrated.

i also think madonna's most entertaining attribute right now is that she is at the start of a very ungraceful mid-life crisis.

hannah montana
t pain
TI
jonas brothers

Definately T-Pain. I am still trying to figure out why he is famous. His vocal style (if I can actually callit it style) has been done by Zapp and Teddy Riley.

Kanye West. i like some of his songs but this guy really blows

madonna
beyonce
lil wayne
kanye west
man gaga
neyo
alicia keys

thats all i can think of so far

Roger and T-Pain uses two completely different devices to produce their sound. Also, Roger, unlike T-Pain, could actually sing. T-Pain uses Auto-Tune to cover up for the fact that he can't sing.

Youre Right Roger Troutman had real talent and a great voice (I wanna be your man) and could play piano, all T Pain can do is swear along to a drum machine beat. RIP Roger

"Overrated" to me is a subjective opinion about artists who have succes in whatever segment of the musicbiz they're doing their thing.
You can't please everyone. But as an excuse for that, the "overated"-term is thrown around here and there.

Whatever happened to Christina Millian with her "I'm gon' keep it gangster" suburban thrilla from Manilla ass...

wich artist is not ? i think timbaland is overated as a producer, and he has an ego the size of a small nation

Oh please! How can some think Lady Gaga is overrated--she's only been on the music scene for a minute, her cd hasnt even been out for 6 months yet! I would hardly call her overrated...the best thing to happen to music right now? YES, but overrated, no

to add to this list: JESSICA SIMPSON, Lily Allen and last but certainly not least: THE JONAS BROTHERS (along with Miley Cyrus as well).

This thread is overrated We have one monthly.

Overrated is Overrated.....BOI! Most of these peeps are just deplorable to me. Totally immanent, either way. One person might think that all the precedently aforementioned are the cat's pajamas. Me? MEH!

COLDPLAY!

I don't get the mass appeal?

Well it has to be .....MADONNA

i'm mean she is so overated it's a joke..

thekidsgirl said:

No offence, but I can think of dozens of artists that are way overrated than Coldplay. The appeal might be the fact that they are real musicians who write and perform their own songs and sing live.

I personally have never understood the appeal of those that don't sing, play or write.

IMO - T Pain is just an embarrassment, Kanye is an asshole with no personality whatsoever, we are oversaturated with Beyonce. All the Lady Gaga's, Katy Perry's, Britney and Rihanna's are very overrated and don't have much talent.

You missed Madonna .... she has to be the biggest "artist" out there ..you is as fake as you can get...

Name an artist 2day.....

Kanye West is without a doubt the MOST overrated artist... The whole fame thing really messed with his head! Also, I agree with "Empress" at least Coldplay has musician ship, the band members are all Extremely down to earth, and i promise I am not a big fan of their music. But i definitely have great respect for the work they have done!

Exactly!

I'm not a big fan of Coldplay either, but I do respect them as musicians. The so called artists that are making millions from crotch grabbing, lip-syncing and bouncing around on stage sicken me.
