rumours 45,521 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Recently on GGD, I hear many people talk about certain artists being overrated in various capacities. With this in mind, I thought it would be very interesting to have a consolidated thread where we explain who we think is overrated in music today. Therefore: Who do you think is(are) the most overrated artist (artists) in music? You can approach this from whatever standpoint you choose (critical reception, commercial sales, personal opinion, an artists' actions, etc...). I'm really interested to hear your opinions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creyk 17,728 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Female: Beyonce: doesn't even write or compose her own music, and she is praised for her performances but half of the vocals are lip synched in Male: Ed: he has plagiarized many songs and it's been proven and he had to pay fines but for some reason nobody cares, radio and streaming audiences still eat up his songs which are nothing special Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryusei 61,025 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Right now: Post Malone, Drake. I don't get the appeal of Post Malone in any way. And Drake's output lately is so boring I don't get why it gets streamed like crazy Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Incoming legion of "Beyonce" with no back up or "I just don't get the appeal" You may not get many explanations, but heres one ~ For me, its Ed Sheeran. And I do get the appeal, I just think his music is quite mediocre in terms of lyrics, vocals, production, etc... I am not sure why he can get away with repeatedly mediocre releases with little to no change up in his sound or lyrical content and still be considered on top of the Pop game when Pop girls have to be constantly innovating, striving for perfection, all while being pit against each other. For those reasons, he is overrated to me. (And I have heard all of his albums top to bottom so don't come for me ) Also, Drake. I just think his music is kind of everywhere; he sounds "okay" sing-talking, but I don't really like his rap, even though he can write well. This ones a bit more just not my preference. There are other people that do what he does, but with more flair I'm not a beyonce stan, but as someone that does enjoy both her performances and her "Artistry" I'm happy to defend her. Legit don't think shes overrated. She's critically and commercially successful and all you have to do is look at the way critical media analyzes and dives into her music, even for its solely musical elements to see why she is liked 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't have an opinion on this, but I am legitimately curious i think it's lowkey jealousy because Lemonade was an incredible album and we all wish gaga had it in her discography but i've learned to just love it without being bitter https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
