Drake has to be the most overrated singer of all time (well all-time is a bit much maybe), I can't stand any of his songs yet he's super popular.

Holy mother of cats.  That's as bad as anything I've ever seen.  Why was this allowed to happen?  Someone needs to go to jail for that.



Most ''Entertainers'' today is overrated, i did not say they aren't good, they are ok in my eyes but yeah, overrated. There are plenty of more skillful musicians out there that is 50-70 times better in term of variety, instrument's, melodies, technical abilities, writing abilities and so on, which ofc doesn't follow the pop norms at all and should never even attempt it.

Some honorable mentions

 

Good music stays forever and will never be forgotten.

I think (insert popular artist you don't like) is the most overrated singer!



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

One of the most overrated, for sure. I also feel sorry for her, she recently complained about youtube causing her massive losses when she only made 170 million dollars last year, poor thing, I hope she's okay along with Kanye, Jay-Z and all the other folks affected by this tragedy.

I've been a fan of her ever since I heard this:

That is just silly.

Though I do agree with you, I have to say, there are certain ways to measure talent. What's their vocal range? How complecated is their choreography? There is a reason people don't like Christina Aguilera, but admit that she's a great singer. Her voice is simply great. Same with Adele and Arianda Grande. I personally don't like any of them, but they sure have a significantly stronger voice than Taylor.



No, they are both decent singers, but their songs are all freaking terrible. They are both also terrible human beings, so it makes sense

On the subject of Beyonce, I think she's a pretty okay singer, though I don't like most of her music.  She's not great, though.  Listening to her singing Etta James kind of showed that for me, while Christina Aguilera knocked it out the park.

I think it's fair when we're talking about musicians who achieve fame based largely or partially on some other factor, such as their looks.  Disposible pop is about production as much as music and about convincing people that what they are watching is going to be popular.  Much of it does not stand the test of time.

Would Justin Beiber be nearly as famous if he looked like Lyle Lovett or Willie Nelson?  I doubt it.  Was Debbie Gibson as talented as her former popularity would indicate?  I honestly can't remember any of her music.  Britney Spears once took the western world by storm but she is best remembered for sexy dancing, not for her songs.  She'll be a trivia question when people are still listening to Aretha Franklin.  In the 40's and 50's, actors sold a lot of records even if they weren't great singers.

In that regard, I think it's a valid discussion.



What does looks have to do with how good of a singer you are?
