May 1, 200619 yr Beverley Knight (highly said as) has got to be mine. "Affirmation" was stunning. My best album of 04. its a shame she doesnt get the success she deserves. :( Definately, that album was superb even down to the bonus track. :wub: Goldfrapp ... its still a female singer lol :mellow: their songs are all good but arent really that high up Jo O'Meara should of done alot better with her solo song Estelle should of also done alot better with all her songs especially Go Gone Javine & Shaznay Lewis were both great aswell :( Agree with all of the above, however I think Goldfrapp are grossly overrated, everyone on here seems to bum them to be honest. -_- Natalie Imbruglia - her albums should be million sellers but only sell around 200k... her singles are way too underrated too. Annie - she released the amazing "Chewing Gum" and "Heartbeat" but they both bombed, her album "Anniemal" aswell... I think she's making a come-back or something, hope it's better this time. Rachel Stevens - she recorded a critically acclaimed album with "Come & Get It" with all amazing electro-pop songs, still the album scraped the Top 30 and the singles only managed No.10 and No.12 possitions. Agree with all of those besides Annie, I thought she didn't have a 1 pick of talent, electro shadows on her voice still made her sound c**p. rachel stevens? how can she be underrated when she just has no talent?.. annie, beverly knight, and amy studt, deffinately, id also add beth orton, who wistful vocals do her compositions credit. Don't start Rob. ^_^
May 2, 200619 yr About Rachel Stevens: she IS underrated since her album was a pop masterpiece. You might think she's not talented but cannot deny the quality of her songs.
May 2, 200619 yr About Rachel Stevens: she IS underrated since her album was a pop masterpiece. You might think she's not talented but cannot deny the quality of her songs. but was it? i can deny the qualiy of her songs, as they are absolutely nothing special. i think that once again here, people are confusing talent for personal taste. i cant agree that a product like mss stevens, geri, etc etc etc are underrated, as they are nothing to start with! im not denying that their songs are popular and liked by people, but the idea of them being underrated is that they are real talented artistes whos sales havnt reflected their ability to create original new sounds ... beth orton for eg, creates her own music, composing and singing (live <_< ) a track with something to say. thats hardly the same league as some puppet miming someone elses nursery rhyme !!! :)
May 2, 200619 yr Goldfrapp ... its still a female singer lol :mellow: their songs are all good but arent really that high up but Goldfrapp have been indie press darlings for years. think the only person who doesnt rate them is that person in the press the other weekend that said she was a second rate madonna wannabe. apart from that alway one of those acts that the 'inky fingers' press loved. anyway i think i read alison goldfrapp (the singer not the duo) was discovered by members of massive attack, so she must be cool as massive attack have always been send as gods in the press (even with the dodgy last album :lol: ) for about 20 years (i guess this?? dont know when they started could be 1988 for all know!! the wikis having trouble at the mo!! :lol: damn)
May 2, 200619 yr Lucie Silvas is quiet underated, Forget Me Not has top 10 written on it. Don't Look Back and The Game Is Won should of been top 20. But FMN didnt make top 75, and DLB and TGIW only made top 40 just.

May 2, 200619 yr They're more of an album's act TBH, and the last album did fabulously for their genre. I was a fan since 'Black Cherry' and thought they were underrated so I was pleased to see them finally getting real success with Supernature, but I thought Black Cherry was a way better album. wrong felt mountain was the better album, a classic
May 2, 200619 yr Lucie Silvas is quiet underated,. didnt she write the new will young single? so either way if her singing career stalls she will be around as a songwritter for years to come

You might think of it as the people behind the record were underrated.

You might think of it as the people behind the record were underrated. but who determines wether its 'great' or not? the point im making here is that peoples personal choices are cropping up, now that isnt very objective, you cant call an artiste underrated just because few people share your passion for them. although i take your point about the 'team' behind a project, you need to define just why an artiste is underrated, why is it 'great'? i dont consider some of the nominations here, like rachel and geri as underrated as they have had reasonable chart success. some would say more then they are worth ;).
May 2, 200619 yr Rachel Stevens isn't underated, she doesn't perfom well because she's AWFUL. Give other people her songs and they'd be bigger. FACT.
May 2, 200619 yr Rachel Stevens isn't underated, she doesn't perfom well because she's AWFUL. Give other people her songs and they'd be bigger. FACT. i thought the rule of thub with Stevens is "yeah she looks nice" but not much personality otherwise?
May 2, 200619 yr LeAnn Rimes is definatly underrated in the UK Also, Beverley Knight, Lucie Silvas, Diana DeGarmo (Finished 2nd on American Idol, but her debut went un-noticed but its a great album), Melissa O'Neil and a few other I cant think of!
May 3, 200619 yr I definately agree about Lucie Silvas, good strong album and 5 great singles, her album went platinum, but it should have sold more. I am not getting involved in this whole Rachel Stevens fiasco, it's common knowledge around here I am a big Rachel fan, so I am not getting involved apart from this one comment. :P Rob you say people are just saying Rachel because they like her music, but is the reason you're arguing against that because you detest Rachel?
May 3, 200619 yr Rob you say people are just saying Rachel because they like her music, but is the reason you're arguing against that because you detest Rachel? thats not true tbh, i dont detest her, indeed i quite like 'sweet dreams my la x', and i much prefer her over mariah, geri, britney, celine etc etc etc... the point i was making is that several people here cite their favs, who have had decent chart success, which hardly means they are underrated especially like geri for eg, they have had several #1s or top ten hits. you know me, i dont think you can class the puppets in the same league as competant artistes like luci silvers. rachel has had more success then luci, but who here is the talented one ? who here is the underrated one?
