most overrated artist

since we have bands we need a thread that can cover solo artist as well.

Tupac
Beck
eminem
Britney Spears
J.Timberlake
Nelly

oh that was very spitefull

Finti named most of the ones I would have mentioned.

Also Celine Deon needs to be mentioned.

I like Beck.

i dunno how tupac is overrated or eminem. hmmm Nelly yea i guess he's kinda overrated. Eminem might be a little to overrated but cmon he's white 🙂 his lyrics are great.

Definately Britney Spears.

Celine Dion is talented, but definately overrated. There are plenty of other female artists with just as much talent, but nowhere near the diva level.

Shania Twain & Faith Hill - overrated.

I'm sure I'll think of others later. 😈

i dunno how tupac is overrated or eminem

well 2 answer ur question i dont think that celine dion is over-rated. i think that she is a very talented artist. i mean MY HEART WILL GO ON was a massive hit. although the song might b over-rated(like titanic) but the song was HUGE. and, the power of love, i know that it was originally sung by laura branigan but she sung it very well. and if u think celine dion is over-rated u should listen 2 her greatest hits collection and i m sure that u will change ur opinion. AND: justin timberlake MY GOD this guy gets on my nerves. people say he is the next michael jackson. FOR HEAVENZ SAKE I HATE THAT GUY

Celine Dion is a talented singer, but overrated as an artist. Let her write her own material then we will see her real talent
And the Power of Love was original sung by Jennifer Rush in 1985, Laura Brannigan had a cover of it 2 years later

Yeah, alic88, I actually said that Celine Dion was talented. She has a wide vocal range. She generates hits. But there are other female singers with comparable talent who haven't been catipulted to the level of fame that she has. That's all. Personally, I prefer Sara Brightmen over Celine Dion anyday.

Sara have too much opera in her for my liking.

how?, Whenever I hear Tupac I cant stop thinking that his death boosted his sales. There is nothing, in my mind, to his music at all. Eminem I just dont like, wanna be though guy.

tupac was great even before his "death". i can list so many songs that are masterpieces. you know y i like tupac...cuz he's not like other rappers. he sings with both hatred and love and sometimes at the same time. Eminem overrated? a wanna be? i dont know how he's a wanna be. he was influenced by Tupac and now he produced album Tupac:ressurection. which i think is great.

Tupac is overrated,in my eyes, cause his music doesnt have very much to it, Way to boring and ordinary, just my opinion though

I respect all music, but Badly Drawn Boy.... nuff said!

You need to include Pink in that list. Pink is not the bad girl she think she is.
