Most Overrated Music Star?

[thesshhh]

Who do you think is the most overrated music star ever? For me it has to be Elton John

[fiction-factory]

I didn't like Miley's twerking stuff but I did have thi on my playlist a long time before she became so famous as Miley, when she was transitioning from Haley Montanna.
This reminded me of something from late 1970s- maybe it's the riff though not Miley that makes it so good

This bloke looks like he is making the lyrics up as he goes along.



No doubt he will have a fan or two somewhere.

But not a fan of his singing.

For me, it has to be Cliff Richard.

I just don't "get" the big American rap stars..they are hugely successful and immensely wealthy so millions must ! taste in music is subjective...

[nailit]

I could never understand what the hype was around the Beatles...

Robbie Williams. While I think he is a great showman, his voice grates on me !!

I disagree with those who say that this question is equivalent to asking people to say whose music they dislike the most. I don't dislike the music of David Bowie but I could never really see what all the fuss was about with him. He was just another reasonably-talented (but not particularly special) artist to me. i.e. I regard him as 'over-rated'.

Similarly, while I can quite enjoy some of Ed Sheeran's stuff, I still seem his as being somewhat 'over-rated' (especially in out local press, where they never stop banging on about him because he's a local lad).

I do tend to agree with the suggestion of Kanye West above though. I admit to knowing little about him but his Glastonbury performance certainly didn't leave me thinking that I'd just watched an all-time great. (Don't get me started on Twenty One Pilots either!)

My own choice for the most over-rated music star ever would be Frank Sinatra. I can hear nothing in his songs that I can't hear in an average pub singer. For me, Bing Crosby was a vastly better singer (as were others, such as Dean Martin, Vaughn Monroe and Johnny Mercer)
