Overrated Singers
OK, as the antithesis to the "Underrated Singers" singers thread, who do you think is overrated as a singer?
We don't need to defend anyone you DO like if someone thinks they're overrated, but I just think it'd be interesting to find out who and why. For me, at the moment it's Kate Nash. WHY? What's her appeal? Her voice sounds nasal and whiney. If I was her boyfriend from that song Fingertips (or Foundations) I think I'd be taking a wrecking ball to the foundations! |

That's the spirit. Nothing aggressive, just a bit of a vent.

Britney and Kylie.
I know a lot of people out there agree with me, but I have seen them both described as "great" and "fanstastic" singers by the media and they are just not. |

Also Amy Winehouse.
I've heard her live a couple of times and she never seems able to carry a tune live and I'm talking about before her recent episodes of being incoherent at live performances. She just grates on me. I also recall the first comment I heard from her, when she lost the Mercury Music prize to Dizee Rascal. It was something about he fact that she respected him as an artist because he sang in his real accent... like her! Ha! I've never heard such an affected psudo-american voice! She make Joss Stone and Sheens Easton seem real to thier roots! |

![]() Technology has come on leaps and bounds! Today you can barely tell her voice has been processed to get it back into tune, unlike her early stuff where she actully sound like one of the chipmunks! |
