Posh Spice's voice isn't as bad as some people make out

Dannii Minogue is sexier than Kylie (in music video's)

Tulisa needs to go away.

Gaga is ok, but sometimes annoying.

One Direction are five lucky guys that got put together. No real talent, but crazy fans. Louis Tomlinson's voice is horrific, yet he is probably now rich as hell. Thats a joke.

Justin Bieber is a mime artist and his live performances are utter crap. He looks like a girl, has zero sex appeal and needs to pull them pants up.

Madonna (even though she is a music icon) needs to get her head out of her own arse.

Britney needs to actually up her game. Her breakdown is behind her now, people like Beyonce are showing her up.

Rihanna was once good, but fame has gone to her head.

Katy Perry is just very lucky. Not a great songwriter, not a great singer, not a great dancer.

Gary Barlow needs to go away again and get fat, instead of sucking up to the queen and not paying taxes.

Little Mix are average.

Aston from JLS is a cocky little annoyance. Also like Justin Bieber needs to start wearing proper jeans.

Chris Brown is a cocky tw*t. Too much fame & money too young.

Jessie J, please just go away for a bit, you're starting to grate now.

Posh Spice's 'voice' IS as bad as people make out.

No way is Dannii sexier than Kylie - videos or otherwise.

Just your opinion, like they are mine

THis.

I grew up in the 80's. Music was GODAWFUL then! People have selective memories!

Adele's voice is nothing special

I like her but fail to see why people are so ecstatic over her voice which is pretty unspectacular. Amy Winehouse pissed all over Adele as a singer.

I prefer Katy Perry to Gaga, in spite of Gaga clearly being the better singer.

As a Madonna fan I think Katy is closer to earlier Madonna than Gaga the desperate Wannabe.

Like early Madonna, Katy cant sing for shit, picks catchy bubblegum pop songs,has a kooky image which changes constantly, has had a brief marriage to a Hollywood actor &has rebelled against a religious family.

[far2cool]

They should get rid of the charts...

BIB - On record, yes.
Singing live, Amy Winehouse was pretty poor IMO.

[LunarLegend]

Alex Clare - Too Close is the worst song in the history of recorded sound.

Adele is very overrated as a singer/artist I can name a hand full of better singers.

Katy Perry is one of the worst live performers ever.

Louis Tomlinson brings nothing to 1D he also has a bad attitude.

Justin Bieber is a mime artist and his live performances are awful.

Cheryl Cole is nothing special.

People should boycott Chris Brown's music.

Even though I like her music Tulisa shouldn't be an X Factor judge last year she was very critical of peope for being predictable for sticking to the same style when she has never left her comfort zone herself.

Rihanna is overrated.

I am sick of every song in the charts being an overly autotuned featured artist song.

I don't see why The Script and James Blunt are so popular I find them middle of the road.

[Glenn A]

I rate the mid seventies.

[RetroMusicFan]

I love 80s pop music and quite like SAW!

I used to think Madonna was cool and now (even though I like some of her current stuff) I wish she would disappear.

[mintchocchip]

Hey Jude is DULL!

[bizzle]

Kelly Rowland and Kelis are excruciatingly under-appreciated.

Beatles aren't as great as everyone makes out.

Rihanna has a great voice.

[Canks]

- Radiohead really aren't that good, okay with a few stand out songs. Manic Street Preachers are far better but are under appreciated in comparison.
- Cheryl Cole is unfairly treated by people. She's constantly called "overrated" and told she can't sing but how many current pop stars can sing? These days, pop music isn't about the voice. If I wanted to listen to good vocals and talented song writing, I know where to go She's no worse than Rihanna, talent-wise, yet Rihanna does not have the same dislike directed towards her.
- I absolutely despise voices such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Christiana Aguliera. I prefer voices that aren't technically perfect, music more enjoyable for me.
- George Harrison is the most underrated musical artist by far. Saw someone say in another thread that Alexandra Burke was more talented Wrote some of the Beatles best stuff; Something, while my guitar gently weeps, Here comes the sun and had some fantastic solo songs; all those years ago, My sweet lord. But it's John and Paul who are mostly spoken about.
- Beyonce is overhyped beyond belief. The way some people speak about her, you'd think she was John Lennon or something. Some good solo songs but nothing special.
- Adele is also overhyped. She's clearly talented but I feel much of her material is boring and lacks the "wow-factor". IMO, much of her success is down to the fact she's different to all the dance stuff in the charts.

[Glenn A]

I fancy Mel C. Nothing wrong with a hard bodied athletic woman with tattoos.

[StratusSphere]

Amy Winehouse's decline and death is responsible for Adele's rise.

[Zone_Out]

Agree with Beyonce being way overrated I don't mind her I like one or two of her solo songs but she's no where near how some People hype her up to be.

Kelly Rowland should of been the lead singer of DC not Beyonce

Totally agree!!

[UpInMahBubble]

Lady Gaga is one of the worst things about music today, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj are both just as talentless as the other, Lana Del Rey is so depressing and I'd much rather be sat at home listening to some K-Pop. Haha.

I Completely agree with ^^

[Kanzi]

P!nk is the best singer in pop music.

[unclekevo]

'Electra Heart' was a distinctly average album

Completely agree with every point you've made, especially the ones about Whitney Houston type singers, Beyonce and Adele!

To add on to the Adele point, I also think the same of Ed Sheeran. He's talented but nothing hugely special and there are hundreds of people out there like him. As with Adele, his popularity mostly stems from the fact he's different to most of the dance orientated music in the charts. People are rebelling against it (despite the fact it's still selling loads ) and looking for 'real' music - however they aren't really coming up with the right answers. I also believe the same can be said of Coldplay. They're really nothing special and have only gotten worse especially with their new attempts at becoming mainstream, which seemed to have worked.

I've heard the term 'Nu Boring' being branded around in terms of the successes of these three acts and I completely agree with it. People critisized The Smiths for being 'miserable' , at least their music was interspersed with a real warmth, humour and wit. Adele, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay and the like are the real definition of miserable (although admittedly Coldplay aren't as bad as the first two). It doesn't help facts they are constantly overplayed as well. I don't think I could stand to hear 'Someone Like You' one more time.

Rock/indie music is terrible
Madonna is talentless
Gaga is too pretentious
The Beatles are dull
Coldplay are duller
Cheryl has a nice voice (not great but not as bad as everyone makes out, and people didn't slate Britney for mining in her early days so why Cheryl??
Mumford and Sons sound like strangled goats
Rihanna has a great voice (just watch ltwyl live)
Katy Perrys live voice is ear shattering
Tupac is overrated
Chris Brown should put more effort in his albums ( bar the singles Fortune is terrible)
Alexandra Burke is dillusional but a great singer
JLS could be awesome if they fired 3 member aka Aston should go solo
Florence Welch's voice is horrible

Agree with most of this

[lionsof66]

Considering these are supposed to be "unpopular" opinions, everyone seems to have slated Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Madonna, Florence, Lana Del Rey, Adele, Cheryl and a bunch of others in just about every post.

Perhaps it should be renamed "Popular opinions"
