Most overrated singers - GoFuckYourself.com

Sarah_Jayne · 05-01-2007, 05:16 AM

I am throwing Bjork and Barbara Streisand into the ring. I just have never 'gotten' Bjork even when everybody else seems to think she is amazing and Streisand has announced a UK gig where she is charging nearly $1000 for tickets.

Your votes?

she should be no way near this list imo...

good bet should be anyone that wins american idol or programs like that..

lbc213 · 05-01-2007, 05:37 AM

I dont know if you want to call them 'Singers' or 'Rappers' but any idiot that sings about (as they put it) Fuckin' Bitches, Getting High and Killing cops. Its a load of shit every rap song sounds the same to me.

nikooo · 05-01-2007, 06:35 AM

u will find them in the idol show

Drake · 05-01-2007, 06:36 AM

Al Green. Sure he has some ok sounding songs but he's propped up as some great soul singer, which he is not.

I personally can't stand her voice so I will have to pass on the Vegas show.

Beyonce for sure.

Another vote for Ashley Simpson.......or Kelly Osbourne

CyberHustler · 05-01-2007, 08:46 AM

Shakira... I'd hit it, but her singing sucks.

WebairGerard · 05-01-2007, 09:02 AM

celine dion is annoying as all hell and I don't like her music, but she can sing

never could get into Bjork either. Ashley Simpson makes the list too for sure.

Actually, much like those defending Celine, I don't like her style of music that much but I have heard her sing in her native language and really knock it out..she can sing with the right material.

she has a great voice, now if only she could use it more for singing and less for screaming I'd be her No1 fan

Sarah_Jayne · 05-01-2007, 11:25 AM

Beyonce was decent in Dreamgirls but I thought her role as the less talented singer that gets the spotlight over the better singers was well cast.

he-fox · 05-02-2007, 05:53 AM

Spears and Timberlake. fucking jokes.

Kiwigirl · 05-02-2007, 06:35 AM

I think that most of todays artists are over rated as
they all sound good in the studio due to mixing and
shit but when live they sound like lobsters being thrown
in a pot of hot water. That includes rock music as I went to
a concert this past wkend with several different bands
playing yet they all sounded the same. LOL
You just got to look good and have a good manager to
make it in the biz, the way you sound don't seem to
matter anymore. Hell they even let Paris Hilton put out
an album, who's bright idea was that one? LOL

I am pretty sure I have escaped hearing her sing.

TG Rebecca · 05-02-2007, 06:58 AM

i agree, bjork can be a bit creepy at times.

i do like some of her songs but not the majority of them.

everestcash · 05-02-2007, 07:19 AM

I like that quiet song enough but most of her other songs I feel is a case of emperor's new clothing.

She can't even lip sync to her own song.

It's sad how she's just wasting/stealing those kids money (who buy her cd).

AssPirate · 05-02-2007, 07:55 AM

Bjork may seem loony most of the time. Hell, "Medulla" was a little hard to swallow. But I think people are alienated by her because she's a cerebral musician. Have you listened or read her interviews? I like the way she talks about her music and the way she makes them. She explains things quite simply and makes you appreciate how much thought she puts in her work. But sometimes, she really needs to lighten up. Her more outrageous songs are very fun to listen to. "Debut" and "Homogenic" are great albums. I loved her Selmasongs though. She was great in Dancer In The Dark. More than I can say for Mariah Carey and Madonna.

gornyhuy · 05-02-2007, 07:57 AM

I think it is more of a case of once great and not doing much to back it up in a long time.

Brad · 05-02-2007, 08:25 AM

First off, Clapton is not even close to over rated. He has been rocking since the 60's. I doubt you would find many other still producing music from that era with a few exceptions like Neil Young. So, that is a fairly uneducated point of view in my opinion. You can say that you don't like him, but saying he is overrated is just plain wrong.

As for the worst singer...it's a hard question because you could pick Britney Spears, but she uses pitch adjusters and pro tools to make her sound listenable on album and lip syncs when she sings live, so she is little more than a performer in my opinion. As for true singers that have been around for a little while (because I don’t think we can consider utter shit like William Hung or sandyvagina in this list) I would have to cast my vote for the new breed of pop singers like Avril or 50 Cent. But if you are looking for someone who has been around for at least a little while, I’d go for Mariah Carey or Enrique Iglesias or even Beyonce.

It wasn't so much worst as overrated. Somebody can be able to sing but the hype around them makes them overrated.
