Bad artists with decent songs

Alpha
Sometimes, you think the artist is very weak, but like a dozen songs in his/her collection... eek

2 words - Britney Spears.
I think that Britney is a sweet girl, but mediocrity - her middle name. razz
Bad singing, can.t write a single song on their own. Previously, she was a good dancer, but now she dances even worse than singing. lol

BUT, Britney has some really good pop songs, very catchy and dance tracks. Probably the best pop-catalog for the last 10-15 years.

What other examples?

For me, probably Madonna. I think she's garbage but I will admit to loving "Don't Tell Me" and "Ray of Light" and "Hung Up" among others. I like a couple of Ashanti's Songs too. boxed

You beat me to it (Madonna). But, I don't think there is such a thing as a "bad artist". I'm just not a Madonna fan.

I really don't care for rihanna, but i do like some of her Good Girl Gone bad era songs.

I also like some Samantha Fox, Mili Vanili, Captain & Tennille & Linkin Park songs boxed

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen

I agree as well but never really cared for her music overall... I would say Rihanna .. Horrible artist but she does have some catchy songs.

it is not what thread about .... smile

I'm not a fan of Rolling Stones, Barbara Streisand or Aretha Franklin, for example. But they are good and bright artists.
I'm not a big fan of Madonna, she is overrated and has average talent in singing/dancing / songwriting, but she is creative and a huge workaholic.
Therefore, she is decent artist in any way.

On the other hand ... Britney... not creative, lazy, mediocre singer/dancer. Yes, she is the personification of a bad artist for me, although she has a decent catalog of songs and cute to me as a person and I wish her well ..

they suck, but Backstreet Boys had the occasional good song like "quit playing games with my heart" and "I want it that way"

You like a dozen songs of Katy Perry? eek Wow! unexpectedly. wink
Katу - a bad artist
for sure, but she does not meet the second criterion of topic .... I don`t like her songs lol

Rihanna is the second candidate for me after Britney. Another absolute mediocrity with dozens of catchy and interesting songs. cool

What happened to you again?? rolleyes
I wrote that songs from Britney are better than the songs of the Rolling Stones, Aretha, or Barbara?? evil Buy glasses ...
Rolling Stones, Barbara Streisand or Aretha Franklin - great artists, but I'm not a fan and have no more than 2-3 songs in the play-list. Their songs are legendary, but am I obliged to love all of the legendary? Strange thoughts. confused
Britney - a bad artist, but I love some of her songs and I have about 20 in the play-list.
I believe that Mozart >>> Beatles, Michael and Prince combined, but still prefer to listen to their rock / pop.

Are you really catching an attitude Lili flower? lol

I was just shocked by the comment. I can read just fine. If you cant handle criticism over your opinions and threads then you shouldnt make them at all..

Bringing up Mozart, Beatles, Prince or Michael doesnt validate your arguement either. I dont care what music you like quite frankly I was just surprised that you think Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Barbara are great artists but not a fan of them... but are more of a fan of an artist who in my opinion makes bad music let alone descent. Maybe if you expose yourself to more of their music you might come to like alot more than you think.
