In your opinion, who is/was the most overrated singer/band ever?  

backstreet boys

Jennifer Lopez, she's a good singer but i don't think she's a good actress, dancer or wife. Isn't it amazing how all the hype about her has died downed? When she married Marc Anthony she kind of fell off charts.

I personally like Madonna...at least her older stuff from the 80's and 90's. My mom never cared for her until she heard Madonna sing in the movie Evita and then her opinion changed about Madonna...at least about her ability to sing anyway. :P

Please be nice, but I personally would have to say Prince. I've recently heard some of his old music from the 80's and his voice makes me laugh, it is THAT bad! LOL I remember hearing one of his songs a few weeks ago and even though I sang along with it in the car I couldn't help but laugh when I'd take a break to hear him sing. Next time you hear some of his music, just listen to his voice and you'll know what I mean! :P LOL

It's kind of hard to go through all the singers, but I'm going to have to say, people are going to hate me for this, Elvis. It may be because I'm in a different time period, but I can't stand to listen to his music. It's like scratching a chalkboard. I guess I can understand why he was popular, but he doesn't deserve all the idolization he has.

Tila Tequila. I absolutely hate her. She's a men's magazine model/singer, but her music is seriously terrible.

I have never been a fan of Madonna, but I have always enjoyed most of her music. I believe she has used way to many publicity stunts to get attention. Especially, the lastest adoption thing. I believe that went she saw all of the attention that Angelina Jolie was getting, she tried to jump on the band wagon. However, I could be wrong about all this.
As far as her voice, I believe that it has mutured a great deal over the years. I remember her song, "Like A Virgin," then there was the song that I believe was titled, "Take A Bow." That song is so beautiful to me. It is smooth and clear and really sounds nice.
There have been quite a few teeny bop bands that have had their 15 minutes of fame. I do not want to name anyone, so no one is offended. I know how people can get when it comes to their favorite celebrities. As I was saying, there have been quite a few bands that have been promoted to death.
They have had the dolls, t-shirts, posters, and all this other stuff, but these people were not that good and had no staying power. They come out, go strong, and are gone before you know it. Then you see their merchandise at almost give away prices.

Michael Jackson. No contest. I think everybody just forgot about him (easy to do, musically anyway) and that's why no one put him here yet. He's a physical and psychological wreck, and I could never understand what people saw in his music at all. What the hell was there to idolize???

I don't like Nelly Furtado now. Her earlier songs were way better than the current ones. Now she is no different than Fergie but the thing is I don't see anything different from Fergie's songs back then and now so at least Fergie is more consistent than her and voice-wise stronger than Nelly.
I like some of Madonna's songs like This used to be my playground, You must love me and Take a bow. Her voice is nothing like Celine Dion, but still better than Nelly.

Kanye west and p diddy,,,why because they sample others people music like crazy...and they take the credit.

Mariah Carrey by far. She thinks she is pretty, she is not.Personal opinion, she is like a cow that tries to wear hot panties.She is still a cow even with them :). Her voice isnt good either.It reminds me of how female cats sound when searching for a mate.Her songs...hmm...even for a pop fan they are just average.Much better pop songs out there, so what is left? Nothing.Just too overrated :)
