Hi
Not sure if this has been posted before! But which artist do you just not get? And understand the popularity behind them?
For me it's Emeli Sande, Adele and Robbie Williams. All of their music just bores me, and Robbie Williams could be the most irritating artist of all time to me!

.... how could i forget him:rolleyes:
Agree with both of these!
P!nk : used to be a fan until her fourth album, but she's been rehashing the same sound for every single song she's released in the past 7 years.
Usher : also used to be a fan, but his MJ immitations and generic music since 2010 has been a massive turn off and he usually messes up on stage now, looking and sounding awful.
Beyonce : I may get attacked for this, but her music has always sounded second rate to me and her performances as of late (excluding the amazing Billboard Awards in 2010) have been predictable
Alicia Keys : I was a fan of her first, second and fourth album, but her new stuff is boring (except for 'Fire We Make') and her vocals always sound strained to the point I can't watch her performances.
Maroon 5 : boring songs, whiny vocals.
Frank Ocean : his music puts me to sleep and I can't understand the appeal at all.
Lil' Wayne : I just can't...
Drake : His voice alone irritates me and his rhyming skills are not that good either.
Does glee count :mad: :mad: :mad:
Emeli Sande as well. In fact any of the at least semi-successful UK acts of the last couple of years who release one album and are suddenly 'the representatives of British talent'.
Emeli Sande -> vastly overrated. I don't see anything special about her and her music is fairly average, bland middle-of-the-road fare. I don't like the way she's shoved down our throats either and the Olympics performance is a good example
Jessie J -> I like a couple of her songs but in reality she sounds like Natasha Bedingfield with slightly different music. I also don't like that screeching she does with her voice.
Rita Ora -> just cheap and tacky, like a Poundland Rihanna. Most of her songs are very generic.
One Direction -> just can't stand them. They annoy me so much. Talentless pretty boys who can't really sing.
Conor Maynard -> I don't get the appeal of him at all. Is he trying to be Britain's Justin Bieber or what? Who does his music appeal to?
Drake -> Why is he so popular? A pretty average rapper really. I think he's mostly known because he featured on What's My Name with Rihanna.
Justin Bieber -> Don't see the appeal of him at all. Why the hell is he so popular?
Rita Ora
Conor Maynard
I didn't explain why I don't get Jessie J, but this sums it up. I also agree with Rita Ora's description, although I do like some of her songs.
In fact, I agree with all of these apart from Adele and Emeli Sande.
Adele - NEVER got the hype at all.
Ed Sheeran - I liked 'Lego House' and 'Drunk' a bit but his album was a snooze fest and I don't get how he's sold so many albums and everyone seems to adore him. Yawn.
what ever your taste is, might not be somebody else`s or Theirs might not be yours
awaiting this thread to turn into another anti 1D thread soon
It wasn't meant to be! It was meant to be a who you don't understand the popularity around thread.
And it better not turn into a anti One Direction thread as I love them!!
well not really, some of the artists are in other people's opinions quite good. Surely it should be more along the lines of artists that have a big following, but you really just can't understand why... some of the reasons I can understand (even for artists that I like) -
eg. Usher, I can understand why people find the MJ influence a little overbearing, I just choose to ignore that because I still do like quite a lot of his songs and his voice. I just avoid his performances and videos where he dances haha
You can say that again. One album and she think she knows it all. Yuck!
Never ever got the hype surrounding this woman. All of her songs, even the slightly chirpier ones, are morose, depressing, and probably the worst crime of all- THEY ALL SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME :eek: Plus her voice (singing and talking-wise) leaves very little to be desired.
All the fuss and fawning surrounding her really annoys me too because I just...just...I just don't get it.
How the hell did she wind up breaking all these records and winning all these awards?!?
