album sales and awards etc speak for themslves where kelly clarkson is conerned!were see yeh

Yes she had the best selling album of 2005, doesn't mean she's good. A lot of the thing with Kelly is tied into the medias promotion of her. She only wrote 1 of the singles she released after-all ;)

Alanis Morissette sold something like 20-odd million copies of "Jagged Little Pill", she's come nowhere NEAR following that one up.... And she's someone that I would rate far above Kelly Clarkson in terms of actual talent......

 

Well, whatever, not matter how many people in this post think Dido is boring, the millions of people who bought her albums don´t think so... Whatever she is boring or not, she is herself, and not who she needs to be to sell more records. Others like Kelly, Christina, Justin and Co. are just singers that are hired to put their voices into a pre-recorded track manufeactured by some mega hitmaker producer.

 

 

Justin and Christina write their own material ;)

 

That why indie bands are c**p - too much yelling, drug addiction, controversial quotes, magazine covers, but not much MUSIC.

How stereotypical of you :rolleyes: At least they all have the talent to be able to play instruments and write songs and that MUSIC that they make is the reason why they're doing so well right now. :cheer: Try judging music by LISTENING to it rather than what you read about them ;) You'll find the ones addicted to drugs are the ones who AREN'T doing so well right now anyway.. but have you seen the likes of Arctic Monkeys or Kaiser Chiefs do ANY of the things you mentioned above? no ^_^ the ONLY reason they're doing so well is because of their music :cheer: I was sent two demos about a year and a half ago by Arctic Monkeys and liked it and found more, I saw Kaiser Chiefs support the Ordinary Boys a couple of years ago and like them and bought their single the next week and then both of those acts go on to do EXTREMELY well because of how good their SONGS are. :D

 

I'm not a big fan of Dido but I see why she sells so much as her stuff does appeal to older people MOSTLY (my dad for example) -_-

Most Hip Hop, Rap & R&B

 

It's so boring with no music or singing. Rap is just talking, R&B are just chanting on about 5 notes. Hip Hop is just too much attitude.

Worst are Beyonce, Eminem, P. Diddy, Justin Timberlake, Usher & 50 Cent.

 

I have to single out Mary J. Blige and Alicia Keys who at least can sing.

 

Also overrated most boybands especially Westlife & McFly. They are completely talentless.

Haha, wrong.

 

Rap is just talking, R&B are just chanting on about 5 notes.

Haha, once again, wrong.

 

Hip Hop is just too much attitude.

Hmm, well if you only base your hip-hop opinion on acts like 50 Cent or Eminem then yes, you're right. But once again, WRONG.

Ahh, this is a commercial thing. WRONG.

Correct. In fact, the only correct thing you have said in this statement.

 

 

REALLY, do you only base your opinions on this style of music in what is in the UK top 40? It would be REALLY great if you could download some NON-commercial watered down c**p like 50 Cent to really base your opinions of rap music on. But sadly, you're ineptitute comes around again, and you look like the fool once more. Well done, mate. :)

 

You should really look towards the underground, non-commercial scenes in both the US and EUROPE and non-european/american countries. This is usually where you'll find the best artists.

I def thinnk Kelly Clarkson is overrated. Good songs but in general I dont think she that great

I see where your coming from mate, I get irritated when people think Goth is all about Evanescence or Marilyn Manson, or Metal is stuff like Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park, when in fact nowt could be further from the truth....

 

The Rap music that I was into was stuff like Public Enemy, De La Soul, NWA, Gang Starr, Wu Tang Clan, Ice T, Grandmaster Flash, Sugarhill Gang, Blade, Consolidated, Cypress Hill, etc. I dont really hear anything of that calibre anymore to be honest, please point me in the right direction if I am wrong....

Some of my favourite rap artists of the moment are Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, the stuff that never does well but is always overshadowed by 50 cent
Lupe Fiasco is EXCELLENT. he does something ORIGIONAL for a change in the world of generic/$h!t RnB/Hip-Hop.

I totally agree! 30 Million actually! she is way underated, except for that album

then again that album might have been a fluke and the rest all c**p?

Arctic Monkeys are the prime candidates for this year.

 

 

I agree, although I do like their music myself.

Also Keane, Franz Ferdinand, 50 cent, Lily Allen and Pussycat Dolls

I agree with those out of your long list. :lol:

 

I didn't include J-Ho, Pharrell, Westlife and Shayne Ward etc in your list as whilst I may not like them, I don't exactly see them being praised by many.

Pharrell - kinda past it now. BUt a couple of years ago: you worked with the Neptunes and it was the best thing....ever!

 

J-Ho...was that a typo...lol errrrm: J-Lo is overrated because shes an average singer, who doesn't write (much) yet still continues to sell bucketloads (btw that was my first post)

 

Shayne Ward - i suppose is fading into relative obsceurity (sp) so am glad about that now....

 

Rav

And the white stripes...they are massively overrated!

I agree with most of the ones posted here ... Madonna and Beyonce especially. I like Confessions, and I think she's interesting, but Madonna is nowhere near as revolutionary as people make out

 

and Beyonce's a waste of space IMO

How can you say Sugababes and not say artists such as Christina Aguilera?

 

They write their stuff as much as she or any other co-writer does, and to be fair neither of them, like most, compose the music....
