Biggest Embarassment to Music

What bands/artists do you think were the biggest embarassments to music?!? The one that gets the biggest laugh from me is: Rico Suave (LMAO) Remember him!?!?!?!!!! EWWW!!!

Funny you should mention him LOL! A few weeks ago I was watching MTV and they had his song! I was laughing through the whole thing. His chorus got stuck in my head though =( lol Nice choice!

Never did like Vanilla Ice...never will.

I actually did like Milli Vanilli. My favorite was "Girl I'm gonna miss you..." even though it wasn't really them.

Lauren Hill:

Anyone who says that she would rather have her children starve than have a white person buy her album, is not only an embarassment to music, but also a disgrace.

Outside of her, Right-Said-Fred was pretty bad.

I will be flamed for this but I really don't care....
Britney

She's a great dancer...I'll give her that. But, as for a talented musician, she's absolutely horrible. She doesn't write her own songs (except for on her new album...and it sucks). And she cannot sing.

But, other than that, I think that Vanilla Ice was also an embarrassment.

I agree about Britney. She's all dance and no sing. She's definitely an ACTRESS (a bad one at that) and not a SINGER, because she ACTS like she's SINGING. If you've ever heard her sing a-capella (without music), she sounds HORRIBLE. A dying CAT can sing better than her! LOL. I don't understand why dancing is made such a big deal these days in SINGING performances. Of course it's wonderful if you can dance (I can't!), but it's not fair to people who CAN SING well (I can hehehe), because you CAN't fake dancing like you can singing.

Anyway Britney seems extremely stuck-up. We need to hear more real talent like Sarah McLachlan, Jewel, Michelle Branch, and others who write AND sing their own songs (as well as play instruments). MTV has gone further and further down the tubes as most of the FEW music videos it does show anymore are of pre-fabricated, bad or non-singing, choreographed "music artists". Some people don't realize how much talent it takes to write a really good song, and to know how to actually READ MUSIC.

Thank you ZetaLuvBunny for making my day with that comment.

WRONG!

That quote is always taken out of context.

What I believe she was referring to when she said that was not whites buying her album, but changing her sound/image/politics to please a white or more mainstream audience. She was saying she wouldn't compromise her integrity.

I'm not a huge Britney fan either. She needs to upgrade her act. However, its not fair to critcize her cuz she doesn't write her own music. A good singer does not have to write their stuff to be good...did Frank Sinatra?

Do you have a reference for this, SigmaChiGuy? It's not that I don't believe you, but I'd like to see this in print/on video to confirm.

B4-4: A Canadian boy band. Blech!

Celine Dion: my ears bleed whenever I hear her.

Mariah Carey: as soon as she became a hoochie mama, she lost all credibility in my book

Rush: my husband loves them, but to me they sound like cats in a blender.
