Artists that you think are overrated

This is the place for readers of poetry. Discuss poetry and literary art. You can also discuss music here, including lyrics. Also, you can discuss poets themselves, in addition to poetry.

Billie Eilesh is so overrated. All of her songs sound the same and I think they have taught 12-14 year old girls that is cool to whiny and glamorize depression. Plus her voice is nothing extraordinary.

No offenses to anyone but i think Justin Bieber is an overrated artist. As a whole he is not a very good/kind person and some of his music is good but not all.

The Weekend's music is something that I have a deep loathing for.

There are many artists that are overrated but the one that I can't stand is Taylor swift. Her songs are about nothing but ex.

I agree. Her songs are overrated bubblegum, and the lyrics send a bad message to young girls.

Taylor Swift. I don't think she's terrible or anything, but I don't see the big fuss. She's a good songwriter with a few truly great songs to her credit. Vocally, I've never been impressed.

Katy Perry

I just don't see a need for her if I am honest. she is just blah and i think is her music even that popular and i'm not sure many people would notice if she just stopped doing music lol.

To be honest, I don't think there is anything such as an overrated artist.
Sometimes, people don't follow artists just for the music (and now I'm not calling them out for being superficial and being followers because they're good-looking or whatever). Sometimes it could also be how the lyrics are relatable, or how those artists are in real life. It's easy to sit on the opposite side of fame and say someone's had it easy. I don't believe that to be true. Also, fame goes as quickly as it comes. We can just choose to ignore artists who don't appeal to us. That's the end. Anything else is just being judgemental.

Please, no one follow me down a dark alley for this, but.... Beyonce. She’s a talented singer and pretty woman, but I don’t understand why she’s downright worshipped.

I have to retort here..
Does this mean you found no inspiration in 'fireworks' and 'Roar'?(and there's a 3rd I can't remember)
You can credit her with a few meaningful songs.
