Posted December 28, 200816 yr Spin off from the flop thread. Which songs do you think were overrated in the charts? Mine are: Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah X-Factor Finalists - Hero Leon Jackson 2nd single All did well because of Simon Cowell manipulating the chart. With Leon, I think help from Scotland. Can't Cowell drop dead, retire? Coldplay - Viva La Vida Pompous arses who make depressing music. Britney Spears - Womaniser I think this did well due to the negative attention. Duffy - Warwick Avenue A dreary overplayed song. Girls Aloud - The Promise An awful song! If it wasnt for the X-Factor performance it would have been #8. Thank God they've picked up with "The Loving Kind" I could go on, but thats left for yous to decide ;) Edited December 28, 200816 yr by Besmilliah
December 28, 200816 yr Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet About Me (Thanks to that advert) The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name Basshunter - Now You're Gone Nickelback - Rockstar (although it is from 2007 but reached it's peak in 2008) Flo Rida - Low Kid Rock - All Summer Long Will.I.Am - Heartbreaker Wiley - Wearing My Rolex :D
December 28, 200816 yr Author ) The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name Basshunter - Now You're Gone Nickelback - Rockstar (although it is from 2007 but reached it's peak in 2008) Flo Rida - Low Kid Rock - All Summer Long Will.I.Am - Heartbreaker Wiley - Wearing My Rolex :D Agree with all of those. Especially that Ting Tings song - It seems having an accent helps - I should make money with limited talent singing in my Brummie twang.
December 28, 200816 yr Not overrated but overplayed: Gabriella C-c-cilmi - Sweet About Me Sam Sparro - Black and Gold Now the real overrated: X Factor!!! Everything about X Factor!!!
December 28, 200816 yr Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet About Me (Thanks to that advert) The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name Basshunter - Now You're Gone Nickelback - Rockstar (although it is from 2007 but reached it's peak in 2008) Flo Rida - Low Kid Rock - All Summer Long Will.I.Am - Heartbreaker Wiley - Wearing My Rolex :D I crossed out those that are not overrated for me. I could consider Gab because it's so overplayed. Nickelback - Overrated Track Kid Rock - A tribute that went to No. 1! <_< Edited December 28, 200816 yr by funmaker11
December 28, 200816 yr Duffy - Mercy Beyonce - If I Were A Boy Girls Aloud - The Promise Nickelback - Rockstar Kid Rock - All Summer Long All either awful or just average :/
December 28, 200816 yr any song that was performed on x factor, even if it wasn't the artist performing it wouldn't have had as many sales if it wasn't performed. But i suppose its good publicity, i hope deserving acts will play on next years show.
December 28, 200816 yr Alexandra Burke/Jeff Buckley/Whoever else!!?? - Hallelujah. Horrible, 'plodding' depressing, over-rated song. Makes people jump on the band wagon, especially the 'cool' "DEFINATIVE" version by Jeff Buckley...now deceased (could that have maybe helped it's popularity...hmmmmm....Princess Diana syndrome)
December 28, 200816 yr Sugababes - Girls Good Choice. Beyonce - If I Were A Boy Katy Perry - Hot And Cold I'm surprised you haven't mentioned 'Disturbia' :kink: My most over raqted song of the year is without doubt... Alesha Dixon - The Boy Does Nothing!
December 28, 200816 yr NICKLEBACK - Rockstar KID ROCK - All Summer Long ALESHA DIXON - The Boy Does Nothing its criminal that the above sold so well!
December 28, 200816 yr I think... Rihanna - Take A Bow (I deem this to be her second worst single after 'We Ride', truly $h!t) Mariah Carey - Touch My Body (This only did well as it was the lead single following a huge era, a real nothingy song. Still, could have been worse, at least 'Bye Bye' didn't do well) Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up (All of the first album and 'I Hate This Part' were better than this) Adele - Chasing Pavements (Awful dirge, all the other singles were better) The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved (See Adele) The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name (Really annoying song, though their other three singles were very good) Britney Spears - Womanizer (I kind of like this, but it's not a patch on 'Gimme More' or 'Piece Of Me', and most of the Circus album is better than this) OneRepublic - Stop And Stare (Possibly the worst song of the year coupled with Soulja Boy, whiny, awful and lyrically dumb and stupid. 'Say (All I Need)' however was pretty good)
December 28, 200816 yr Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl Kid Rock - All Summer Long Nickelback - Rockstar Alesha Dixon - The Boy Does Nothing The Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up -_-
