Noodlin' on a soprano sax
Kenny G -- why in the world is this man considered a "jazz" artist? He does not improvise, which is a key requirement for any real jazz performer. It's a shame that that man outsells real jazz musicians. 
h2oot -- You're correct on your correlation about singers and material. This is especially true of jazz/adult standards performers, such as Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.
Before the rise of the singer-songwriters in the 1960s and beyond, it wasn't that common for performers to write their own songs.

Hmmm...
Michael Jackson...I'm talking about the MJ of the last 10 -15 years, anything with the J5 up till the Bad album was badass, but since his whole kiddie scandal, he's been a joke.
New Kids on the Block... It's because of them we have all of these no talent boy "bands", corporate shlock at its finest. They and their producers figured out that if you can corner the market and get teen girls all riled up, you've got a hit. Smart business, shit music.
Vanilla Ice...So what if he's a goof, EVERYONE at least kids my age at the time, knew the words to ice ice baby, its just that no one will admit it now.
Pretty much all of the Puffy/Master P/Russell Simmons wanna bes with their horrendus music/lyrics/clothing lines. IT's just really, really bad stuff.
ANY rockers who stil llive back in the grunge days of being pissed off at everyone and everything, even the people that buy your records, make your rich and able to support a family. The singer of Staind is a perfect example. Very talented, good band, but honestly, you've got a good marraige, a new baby, your health, and more cash than you know what to do with. Yeah, sounds like a big F*$)(N problem to me!
Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston were great, now are a weekly tabloid story waiting to happen.
MC Hammer, mainly sad because he is talented, but was wayyy too nice to people that didn't give a crap about him or where he would end up. All of his image changing makes him look bad, no one's buying him as a gangster rapper, he should stick with his flashy style.
The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Remaining Led Zeppelin members. Yes, you were great, like a few decades ago, no one wants to see 50 -60 year old grandfathers in leather pants, no matter how cool they think they are.

Aging Mick Jagger and Keith Richards rolling around in tight leather pants is not a pretty image, to say the least.
ROFLMAO!

oh gawd! Aaron Carter scares me!  A kid I babysat last Spring wanted to be a combination of Aaron and Lil Bow Wow. Scary!!! This 9-yr-old lil punk was like "Yeah all the chicks dig me like Aaron, and my daddy's buying me a platinum chain with a big medal on it for Easter." Bull$hit little kid! If your daddy could afford a platinum chain, I'd be getting paid more than $6.50 an hour to babysit your snotty @$$. LOL! I wish those 12-yr-old girls could see Aaron Carter from OUR persective! His songs are CORNY as a Nebraska and CHEESY as Wisconsin. LOL. Makes me want to <gag> every time I flip through the channels and see one of his corny videos on.

The pure CRAP that they are inflicting on us through the very young that we are obliged to babysit is appalling! Have any of you had the distinct displeasuere of catching these min-boy bands and pop princesses on Nickelodeon? It's soooo disturbing to see a bunch of prepubescents jumping up and down trying to be "the sexy one".
Ugh.
Boy bands- not always a bad thing. The Beatles were a boy band, as were the temptations, the four tops and the beach boys. BUT the mass commercialization and non-musical nature of today's groups has sucked all life out of the idea.
