Underrated Singers?
Which singers who have had big success do you think are underrated and deserve more recognition?
For me its: P!nk (deserves a lot more awards and recognition) Shakira Paloma Faith Cher Dolly Parton Enrique Eglesias The Script |

I Found Someone, Love & Understanding etc. I loved some of the stuff on her latest album too. Same as Pink - not a so called 'vocalist', but one hell of a singer!

Agree with all of these. Particularly Pink and Cher. I personally think Pink is one of the best arists of the 00s. I'd rather listen to her then the 'vocalists' like Mariah, Christina etc.

Pink has more recognition and respsect in the UK and in Australia. But in terms of the US, they accepted her but don't hold her in high regard.

I liked The Script at first but all their songs sounds too samey now.
I think the Kaiser Chiefs are very under rated as were The Kooks and The Hoosiers, |

I agree with Shakira and Cher definitely.
I'd add Leona Lewis and Marina and the Diamonds. |

Kelly Clarkson, people just don't seem to appreciate just how talented she is. Some of this is probably down to where she made her name, but the women has an incredible voice.

Prince and his voice seems to have got better with age.

Jessie Ware it saddens me that trash like Taylor Swift is held in the highest regard when someone like Jessie goes all but unnoticed.
Sarah Mclachlan outside of NA relatively unnoticed. |

Nicole Scherzinger.
Saw her in CATS on Wednesday and wow has she got some pipes on her. She can do quite raspy/raw vocals along with light/softer in very quick key changes. She was amazing |

Brandon Flowers (The Killers)
He's not the best singer technically, but I think he has the best tone. |

Beverly Knight (deserves more recognition)
Nicola Roberts (to often overlooked in GA) Caro Emerald (she should be better known) |

Delta Goodrem- such an incredible voice, wish she would get more success in the UK and USA.
Also agree with Kelly Clarkson. Nadine Coyle, wish she got some success unlike Cheryl Cole. |

Agree with this. She's an incredible vocalist, but seems to have tarred herself with this kind of "pop princess" image.
![]() All that aside though, she does genuinely seem a lovely girl which is what I think people like, she is strangely quite relate-able and appears very humble. When the audience were clapping for the characters at the end, it seemed like it was them who were taking her under their wing, there was no "superstar" persona or no out-shining at all. She was actually waved to a group of kids in the front row which pleased the hell out of them. What her fellow PCDs think of her personally though is probably another story

Jennifer Hudson's albums and songs are so underrated. "Test of Faith" is the best vocal I've heard since Whitney Houston.

Tori Kelly. Probably the sweetest voice and sweetest personality to go with it. The success of her Pro Green song will help her

After seeing her this week in Cats, and seeing her previous work to do with musical theatre (like her performance of Phantom of the opera and Evita, all on youtube), I definitely think in the next 10 years or so that could be her future, and I think it will be in the UK too. I won't be all dramatic and gushy and say that the UK adore her but she seems well liked here and the theatre went crazy for her, she is a genuine talent, she can sing and act as well as being a stunner!
