Who in your opinion is the most overrated artist ?

[Mick-Talbot]

And why...

Could be U2 ....... Why .... Even though I have seen U2 on a few occasions I think Bono has made far too much 'money to talent' ratio. They have a limited back catalogue considering how long they have been going, spew out live albums because they have nothing new to offer

Richest pop/rock star in the world now .....lucky man.


Could be Pet Shop Boys ... why ?

they are Sugar.

[andy-hughes]

razza - I think you are on thin ice here.

You may not like Macca's material, but the notion that he cannot sing and lived off JL is patently not true.

[joggerjayne]

Jessie J certainly has the best initials.

[Tilly2]

Well said, andy.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Florence and the Machine. Shouty waily rubbish.

[Mattk]

Macca fits with my earlier statement regarding U2.
Only the very best can stay at the top for 25 years or so (early 60's to late 80's in his case).

[magicmick]

Just my opinion, I have to say Rod Stuart if that guy can sing well, words fail me for me he is the most overated of all time!

[ludwig]

Hmmm, so many to choose from, but probably Madonna.

[Zacs-Master]

The Ford Focus is the best selling car in it's class and has been for about 10 years......It doesn't make it the best. It's the 'sheep' factor.

[Duncer]

"Yup, Tulisa sucks."

I've seen that video too.

Practically all of those mentioned, but I'll plump for Coldplay, narrowly edging out Ed Sheehan. He should never be forgiven for his Olympic sacrilege.

[LochNessMonster]

Posh Spice, could not sing if her life depended on it. (Rembember her trolling Britain trying to get a solo number 1 single)

[Kiki-frog]

Ditto ludwig. Madge is good, but she's not that good.

(LOL @ Duncer)

[Booldawg]

Sex Pistols - manufactured and talentless. They were more about time and place than music.

[tonyav]

The Smiths.

[ludwig]

// Posh Spice, could not sing if her life depended on it //

Yes, but no-one thinks she can. She can't be overrated if everyone knows she's rubbish.

[China Doll]

For me it's Radiohead . Vastly overrated in my opinion. (But it's a very unpopular opinion!)

[Bazile]

Paul McCartney - i cant see what all the fuss is about ( perhaps some one could educate me as to why he is so highly rated - apparently )

He is just an average singer

[ludwig]

^ It's probably because he wrote and performed half of the songs for arguably the most popular and influential band in the history of modern music.

[Graham-W]

Michael Bublé (spits): Not even sure if he qualifies as a musician.

[joeluke]

Elbow

For the dire, depressing dirges they spew out

[Bazile]

Ah - i misread the question .

I thought the question was asking about vocal talent - silly me
