Most Overrated Bands/Artists?

[FlyingJesus]

Eminem - where as I do love his every song I swear he gets more attention because he's White (before you all jump at me, opinion not fact)

No that really is fact lol, someone of his calibre would never have got such huge media spotlight without being out of what was considered the norm for rap music. He's extremely talented but there is no denying that most of his hype is due to being white - you get people who literally say "I don't like rap except for Eminem" which is frankly nonsense as his music really isn't that distinctive from the thousands of other Detroit rappers

anyway i think bieber is overrated for what he does and he's not good looking so i don't really see it. Willow smith too young in my opinon and she is a hard core auto tuner who barley sings in her one and only song.

Bieber gets a lot of hatred for no apparent reason - he's talented and successful, yeah it's probably far too much for what he really does but I don't get it when people suggest he's actually a bad singer. Same with Willow (who doesn't only have one song), if you actually listen to her sing you realise she's really got it and she has the perfect attitude and work ethos for pop music too

RADIOHEAD. oh my god, pisses me off.

Init only thing they're good for is making me fall asleep

Eminem is a pioneer of a whole genre of music, bringing rap to a mainstream white audience. He's incredibly talented at what he does.

Lady Gaga is a media horse, she wouldn't be a creditable solo artist without all her media stunts, she was a song writer and a struggling musician before she began her persona of this zainy popstar.

Eminem is not a pioneer, pretty sure rap started in the late 70s. You're spot on about Gaga but she says all that herself, she's quite open about how she just does everything for the attention and fame

nonono. attention yes, why would you be an artist if you didn't want to grab your audience's attention? i like her for being open about that. but she has stated she doesn't want fame and doesn't want to be considered a celebrity, her whole first record was about being fascinated with our society's obsession with famous people and celebrity culture. i think she summed it up well when she said this: "I don't want to be part of the machine. I want the machine to be a part of me.”

Did you just completely ignore all her interviews and "Fame Monster" stuff or something

[Circadia]

Most of the X Factor Winners / contestants and probably Muse, Nirvana, Kings of Leon, Metallica and Green Day.

no? i even referenced two interviews? and the fame monster is about the dark side of the fame ..?

[FlyingJesus]

She states over and over in various interviews that she studies famous people and works out how to get the most fame in the shortest amount of time lol, she's been saying that pretty much since Paparazzi - she calls herself a master of the art of fame

[cocaine]

allow people saying green day are overrated, has anyone actually seeing what they used to perform like back in the day & their audience interaction nowadays? they pull people up from the crowd to play a song dammit

that doesn't mean she seeks fame, and she has never said she wants fame. she's just fascinated by it. at her shows she even does the whole cheesy "i don't need the fame or the money as long as i have my fans" thing.

Lady Gaga - Can't stand her, she's got an amazing voice but Judas and Born This Way weren't as good as I was expecting and everyone like bows down to her when she doesn't deserve it.
Adele - Her voice is not as good as everyone is making out and she definitely believes it's better than it is.
