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.

Kate Nash is basically Lily Allen Mark II

I couldn't stand Mark I

Well personally I don't rate either of them. Not my kind of style and I think Lily only got where she is coz of who her dad is, Kate only got where she is because of the success of Lily and record companies will always flood the market with copies of successful styles. Been that way for decades and it won't ever change.

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!

Madonna is probably the most overrated person in the music industry today...Kylie is a clsoe second

That's because she *thinks* she's Madonna II*

*see the comments about Lilly Allan & Kate Nash (henceforth to be known as LA2) above.

Now I have to disagree there...

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!
