Over rated Singers/Bands
Who do you find over rated and can never work out why some artists are so popular...
Coldplay for me and the Arctic Monkeys also |

I wouldn't say someone was overrated just because i didn't like them, that might just be me. But i can't understand how Radiohead and Coldplay are so popular.

Yes, this thread should be entitled Bands You Don't Like. There is absolutely no such thing as 'overrated', tbpf.

Well yeah I kinda agree.
Also, there's a thread about this every two weeks in here. I think I'd add my voice to Radiohead & Coldplay though. Mostly just dreary IMO. |

Ditto the Coldplay comments. The sound of Chris Martin's voice makes me feel depressed, although I'm sure lots of people would disagree considering the number of albums they've sold.

Yeah. I mean "Fix You" is a nice sweet kinda song, but it is quite depressing really.
I think it is his voice. |

This is gonna cause uproar but......Arctic Monkeys! I can't see what all the hype's about. They're really good but not the next Beatles as some people would say. I can think of at least 5 bands better IMO!

That's not bad, it means they are your sixth favourite band.

Haha I guess! Maybe I'll like this album a bit more. I've not heard it yet and it might be a bit different.

Yeah Arctic Monkeys too.
You know a band is over-rated when their album is called "5th best album ever" before its even been released. Crappy arse kissing NME. |

Once a friend of mine dragged me to see her 'live' how out of tune was she? Worst night of my life apart from when I broke my damn ankle ![]() I have no such shame and what a great Style she has You don't have a 20 year career and fill Arena's like Kylie does without having talent. For me Beyonce is a good singer but lacks any presence. I see one of her Video's and I don't see Beyonce, its someone's else style she's knicked. Granted that most artists at some point use others peoples idea's/style but not to the extent that Beyonce does. I think Jay-Z and Matthew have far too much input into Beyonce's career. Beyonce should do what she wants to do. Its all down to personal choice really. Take Mariah Scary, I keep getting told how she's a better singer than Kylie, but I like Kylie for the whole package. Not the quality of her voice, which I don't think is bad, but I'm bias lol

Beyonce has long broken free from her dad and Jay z the song Ring the Alarm is proof of that she is doing her own thing and I thought it was really brave of her to break from ballads into something her fans were not expecting. I cannot bear Mariah (scary, love it ), now she is a singer that nicks everyone elses style but not only that she has about a hundred styles going at once in the way she dresses and sings (why sing one note when one hundred will do it) as for them fake boobs they are way too big and I have NEVER seen her dressed beautifully.I like Beyonce for her beauty, humbleness and her talent. In my opinion Kylie may have style there is no denying that but scratch off the lipstick and there isn't any talent there. Why should I spend money on someone who can't deliver vocally? Kylie is merely smoke and mirrors. I have heard her live and it ain't pretty. Have heard Beyonce live and not a bum note. I prefer talent. Last edited by MelBlanc22 : 27-04-2007 at 20:22. |
