Over rated band/perfomer

moe.ron · #1 03-16-2003, 10:19 AM

Who do you think is the most over rated perfomer or band is?

Babra Streisand. Who in the right mind would play $300 to see her sit down and sing with not even cool lighting?

So hard to decide on the MOST overrated. Just about any pop act of the last few years has been highly overrated. Maybe the Spice Girls? O Town? Brittney, Christina?

So many great choices for this one...

This year I've been feeling like Avril is the most overrated thing I've ever seen...

She is not punk. She is a little girl who wears ties and black eyeliner. Before her record deal, she didn't even LISTEN to punk music. I read in the new Vogue that she doesn't even know who Guns and Roses is... (not that they are punk, but it's still fairly appalling).

I will be glad when she goes away. She kinda sucks.

I might be in the minority here, but sometimes I feel like DMB is a little overrated too. They are good, I like many of their songs... but some people are obsessed and I am not feeling it.

ditto on avril..it takes 4 people to write her crappy songs..seriously, why?!

nelly. cmon now..HE RAPS ABOUT SHOES.

50 cent. 'birfday" ..'gimme a hug'

agree with Avril. She's cute, but so are the Atomic Kitten. Doesn't mean I'm going to buy the cds. I herd she sucked live anyway.

DMB is alright, they used to be great before the little girls screaming "Space Between, Crash, and Dave I Love You!" Ruin the scene. On a side note, first time I saw DMB was when they open for Phish. That was when they still jammed.

Ohhhh what's her name that won ALL those Grammy's/Emmy's whatever they were. The one I was complaining about before.... the one with only one single out? Yeah she's definately overrated.

Norah Jones?

Yeah.... way overrated.

Ditto on the Avril...I mean, I like her songs, but my gawd, she's -not- punk.

Britney Spears- oye.

Eminem/Slim Shady/whateverthef*uckheis- C'mon, you suck, even -you- said your singles are cheesy!

New Found Glory- Once again, sounds like every other 'punk' band out now.

...and any other hip-hop/rap newbie- they all sound the same and have the same dag on beat in the background

Basically, these ppl are -entertainers- not artists or musicians. (w/the exception of NFG, they can at least play guitar )

DigitalAngel126 · #11 03-16-2003, 02:44 PM

Totally agree with Norah, Avril, and DMB.....also britney, xtina... Little sick of J. Lo....P. Diddy - - Who exactly does he think he is?? P-resident??? I'm thinkin not....He bugs me. AND MARIAH!! GO AWAY!

KillarneyRose · #12 03-16-2003, 02:59 PM

I feel so bad saying this because from what I understand she is a very nice person, but Shania Twain is very over rated. All of her songs sound basically the same to me.

Also, the members of that whole "whining women" genre from a few years back: Alannis Morisette, Joan Osborne, Lisa Loeb, etc. But their 15 minutes is long over anyway.

PS Speaking of Avril...the music reviewer in my city's newspaper described her as a "punk goddess with the voice of an angel and the looks of a supermodel" I personally like her but that 's going a bit overboard

You hit the nail right on the head.

Let's see:

Avril Lavigne
Norah Jones
Britney
Christina
Interchangeable Boy Bands

I absolutly LOATHE

Nelly - COMPLETE interchangable beats and songs
P. Diddy - Ever heard of ORIGINALITY? I don't care if you "just wanna make everyone dance". Do it with your own beats that YOU created.
NAS
Jay-Z
Big Tymers - Except Still Fly

I don't mean to "hate", but two things here:

1) NAS is now sampling Fur Elize. I remember when Coolio sampled Pachebel Cannon. Then someone sampled Symphony 88. I swear, does ANYONE Besides Dr. Dre (and that's stretching it) know how to create their own music? MOst people are going to hear Fur Elize4 or Pachebel Cannon and say "Hey, they took that "beat" from NAS and Coolio!"

2) Why is every new rapper and every new rap song have to do with expensive cars, clothes, teeth, shoes, and flossing your shit? We get the point, you have money and you like pissing it away on superficial things. We still listen to Early 90s Death Row and 99-Current Dre and Em because they're about something besides that, ANYTHING besides that.

I know almost every rap listener knows the lyrics to Nothing But A G Thang and all the songs on Doggy Style. In a couple monthes, you're not gonna be hearing Wanksta anymore.

chideltjen · #14 03-16-2003, 03:28 PM

what is with the current hip hop trend of artists not being able to spell correctly?

Ex:
it's gettin hot in 'heeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr'
it's your 'birfday'

i'll agree with the avril thing... she can't even sing live. i saw her on the grammys... blah...

Anyone heard of "Zwan?" It's Billy Corgan's new band ( think Smashing Pumpkins). The pumpkins fired their drummer back in the 90s, their guitarist took a solo (crappy) career, the bassist quit and they broke up. You would think with that many issues they would just call it quits... but NOOOOOO. Now the drummer is back, they changed the name and they just don't have it anymore. Give it a rest Billy! You look better with hair!

Jennifer Love Hewitt... just stick to acting...

Hoku-- all I remember is that she had that stupid single out, something about being a blonde I think... and she kept performing the song on a bunch of shows...

Faith Hill-- I like some of her songs, but there's nothing special about her... her voice isn't distinctive, but she has the look so...

I agree about Norah Jones...
