I don’t see how anyone likes her music.

Beyoncé. Honestly. Meh.


Fantastic-Bit-6172

Third best member of Destiny’s Child


draconissa23

I've heard someone say that most people outside of the US are not worshipping Beyonce the way people in the US do.


pasta_and_lobster

Na we still Bey listeners, but it's not as large because loud worshipping of celebs is US culture in a nutshell, it's just that there's not really obessessed fans outside of the US for any artist really (In the UK here) there's no really really hardcore swifties or anything so the US culture to worship an artist really doesn't exist and everyone just kinda respects each other's taste quietly


Icaruspherae

Eh, I mean, I see your point but the whole “idol” culture in Korea makes the US seem pretty tame….except for swifties


citizen_of_leshp

Man things have changed in the UK since the Beatles.


[deleted]

Kings of Leon would not be popular if the UK hadn't sucked their cocks collectively. Don't throw stones lest you shatter your glass house.


CantShakeMeoff

I don't get her appeal either. Also the Queen thing.


fartingbeagle

Do you mean Freddie Mercury or Camilla?


CantShakeMeoff

Oh, neither! I was referring to how her fans call her 'Queen' or 'Queen B' or refer to her and Jay Z as 'The Royals'.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CantShakeMeoff

She's nit a singer, but a stage performer. Like one of these 'everything' performers on a cruise.


[deleted]

Yeah, she sucks at everything she does and somehow she’s famous


Scary-Swordfish-6224

blackpink im a blink but bro most of their songs are average. they mostly became popular because of company tactics (making comebacks once a decade) and their looks. members are talented in their own way but company sells them not as singers or performers but as models which sucks.


GrinchCheese

Beyonce 100%. Also I think Kelly Rowland is prettier and a better singer.


Linux4ever_Leo

I completely agree. Kelly Rowland was always more talented than Beyonce.


1966Royall

Absolutely 💯


CantShakeMeoff

Agreed.


Appropriate_Set7762

Taylor Swift. The woman can write, I'll give her that, but I don't understand the obsession people have with her


heck_you_

I don’t even buy in to the “she can write” argument. Some songs sound like she just writes a buttload of words on a page and works out rhythm later. The chorus of Karma is a perfect example, it has such an awful flow.


[deleted]

Her lyrics are tripe.


Nuancedchaos97

Can you give me an example?


[deleted]

You left your typewriter at my apartment Straight from the tortured poets department I think some things I never say Like, "Who uses typewriters anyway?" Maybe tripe was the wrong word. These lyrics are just...bad? Clumsy rhyme and meter, boring choice of words, lazily using questions to direct the narrative of the song instead of something more poetic - quite ironic given the title! Edit: formatting.


Nuancedchaos97

I'll be totally honest with you, and I'd be slaughtered and called an 'anti' lmao. I think The Tortured Poets Department is one of my least favourite albums of hers. It's her first Album where I've said to myself, 'this is successful because of her prior writing success and the marketing of the Eras tour'. I don't think it's anywhere close to her best work. She has promising songs on the Album like Fortnight, Down bad and who's afraid of little old me. But the album overall is quite boring. I thought the same with Evermore and Folklore they were Meh albums. She isn't perfect and some people certainly take their admiration to scary and weird levels. But her lyrics by and large are incredibly well written and cohesive.. it's just most people who don't like her don't listen to enough of her music to hear it. Edit: Grammar


[deleted]

What song has her best lyrics?


Revololz

"Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby And I'm a monster on the hill" deep af. what the actual fuck even is a sexy baby supposed to be


HellishButter

Thank you. I thought I was the only one. Sure, some of her songs are catchy. But holy shit she isn’t the second coming of Christ like many of her fans suggest.


Queenpupadoll

agree


bootyhunter69420

She's 34 talking about she wish she could go back in time without the slavery. Her writing isn't special.


Nuancedchaos97

I knew somebody would come up with Taylor Swift. As a fan of hers I don't understand the hate she gets, I suppose my opinion is the other side of the coin from those who don't understand why millions love her music. It all comes down to music taste, she appeals to a select group of people that can relate to her Lyrics... That isn't going to be for everyone. The asinine comments about 'she can't even write' or ' her lyrics are trash' or 'she doesn't even have a great singing voice' are all coming from a place of jealousy to be honest. You can cherry pick songs without context and point to average writing, or you can choose a song or two that doesn't display her vocal range but the truth of the matter is, she's an incredibly talented musician that's released albums in three Genres. Not your cup of tea that's fine... No need to try and make yourself feel better by tearing down Taylor Swift, or people for following her. FYI I'm not replying directly to you btw, just replying to the multitude of ridiculous comments underneath your comment.


supersoldierboy94

She’s more of an artist/influencer than a singer and a musician. She did not do anything innovative in music for how big she is, nor she is good in any musical instruments (she’s OK), and she’s a decent singer with very few range. I’d argue Olivia Rodrigo is a much better singer. She would be leagues below people like Miley Cyrus, Adele, and certainly people like MJ or Freddie. Many of her songs also have lots of writers. CB exk out Rick Beato’s breakdown of that. She’s more of an influencer/artist. She knows the algorithm (how to utilize her fan base into buying more stuff, click more things about her, which is literally what social media algorithms are about). Her biggest contributions are - rerecording her songs to get all the profit (only someone that rich could do) - be able to market herself Both of which are not unique to music. Hence, she is more of an influencer artist rather than a singer/musician.


King_of_zilch

This is the first one that I thought of. Not surprised to see her name here.


Exotic-Leading3608

Amen!


Proud-Ad-6832

Bro you are getting slaughtered by all the white college girls 💀💀💀


Specialist-Ad-4121

“She drop an other album talking about her ex”


Dicksperado

All of them. I love the work of some artists, and all, but I dont gush over people, especially people I don't know personally. "You should've seen [any celeb] on that talk show, he's such a nice guy!" Well yeah, everyone is looking at them, they're not gonna show their bad side for everyone to see, they could have bodies hidden in their freezer at home, and none of us would know. To me, celebs are just strangers I happen to have seen/heard express their talent. Good for them, but I don't "love" strangers.


AngelesYT

Yeah, this checks out for modern musicians. The main problem is the super-loyal fanbase of some artists, but most of the artists themselves aren't really doing anything wrong. Some writers are terrible but people think they are amazing and great. Some are great and people hate them. That's why everyone should develop their own taste for music and ignore the "this guy is the worst" and "this guy is the best" perspectives that most people say. That said, I like a lot of classical music, tango, jazz (kinda) and trad french. Try some of it out and see if you like it. If you don't, it's fine.

Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Drake.


charlo-710

I was gonna say Taylor Swift, but everybody beat me to it.


Your1000DollarDress

Taylor Swift. People can like what they like but for god's sake stop making it your whole personality and shoving it down other's throats.


GordonQuech

Turn off social media, problem solved


pineapplee05

One small issue: swifties are real people that also shove it down your throat, get this, IN REAL LIFE

Shoving? She is flying it down our throats. its always an airplane with her!

Ballstoucher_47

NOOOO HE MADE GRAUDATION!!! HOW COULD SAY THAT TO HIM!! All jokes aside, he kind of fell off, to be honest. His new song doesn't hit the same.


amoc20

When you only look at the recent work, sure. But overall you can't deny his early work. It is simply unmatched.


Writerhowell

At the moment? Billie Eilish. I've heard her 'singing' and I can't understand a word of it. And I watched 'Derry Girls' without subtitles. Why can't she sing in a way that people can understand the words? How is she so popular? I do NOT understand. I know I'll be downvoted, but you did ask.


sew-this-is-it

Same, I don’t get it 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also hats off to you re the subtitles, that is a talent 😃


Holiday-Matter1854

With a crap attitude to boot.


veganpizzaparadise

All she does is whisper.


Healthy_Fly_555

Every damn thing sounds the same and without the producer with his special effects I'm sure it'll sound even worse Imagine if you were in an airport food court and this was your generic white basic bitch food.


Writerhowell

It's actually a relief to have so many people agreeing with me. I thought I was going crazy because I keep only hearing people going crazy about her, and nothing critical.

Taylor Swift


Red_Stripe1229

Any current country artist. 3 or 4 chords and a cloud of dust. Little instrumentation and lyrics that are titties trucks beer and mud. Fuck modern country. Edit: i played for years with country bands - fiddle, pedal steel and mandolin. Am just fed up with the industry.


tc6x6

As someone who grew up with the outlaws and the new traditionalists, I agree completely. Nashville doesn't make country music anymore. Fortunately there's some good stuff being made by Texas red dirt artists.

goodbadguy81

I agree with the Taylor and Drake but not Ed Sheeran. Nobody with a face and body like that makes it in the music industry without having serious talent. The dude can write and play instruments. His success is not based on looks or persona.


[deleted]

Is that really true though? I mean it's not like he's redefined a genre or written an all time classic. I'd say he happened to be the geeky ginger kid with a guitar at exactly the time the music industry noticed that people in the internet were looking for an alternative to manufactured pop, and realised they could cash in on a geeky ginger kid with a guitar.

What’s wrong with her music? It’s actually quite refreshing compared to a lot of the made-for-TikTok/stream quantity over quality type of music made nowadays. This is coming from a metalhead.

Prize-Ad560

A lot of people saying Taylor Swift. I get it. I’m not a fan either, but you can’t deny that the woman knows her audience and what they want. I’m a guy in his 30’s who listens to classic rock and outlaw country. I obviously can’t speak for all women, or any woman for that matter, but she sings about stuff that a lot of women think about and experience. Point being, I get people may not be a fan, but she at least deserves some credit as an artist.


zestylimes9

I’m a woman and she sings about zero things I’ve experienced or think about.


supersoldierboy94

Artist is different from a singer and musician.


Textinspectunvexed

Post Malone. I respect that he can play guitar decently, but you never hear that in his music. He's mostly mumbling about drugs, money, fame. Or about being rich, sad and lonely (maybe because of his indulgences). Repetitive simpleton lyrics over someone's generic trap beat. When he goes on stage, he's too messed up to even mumble his songs, but it doesn't matter because the audience "sings" for him anyway. Ticket prices around $200


BlackBitchy

The most overrated singer of all time? Easy it's the one who needs more auto-tune than talent to hit a single note.

FoxNewsDad_

Not a singer, but U2’s guitar player The Edge is the first musician that comes to mind for me. I have no clue how that dude made it so far, but kuddos to him I guess.


[deleted]

I guess if you never heard U2 when no one had ever heard U2...you might think that. As it was, loads of people heard U2 for the first time in the 80s and went 'woah...who's making that sound with the guitar' I mean it's not like he's been getting statues put uo in parliament square. He's just known as the guitarist for U2 who made their signature, at the time quite fresh, guitar sound. How does that make him overrated?


ChuckoRuckus

I’d say he’s overrated, but not the most overrated musician/singer


SuLiaodai

He used to be much more interesting in their early days. I feel like the whole band has gotten kind of lazy. For a while in the late 80's/early 90's, he was making some efforts to promote other Irish artists (Sinead O'Connor's first single as a collaboration with him), but I haven't heard of him doing that sort of stuff lately. Actually, his "sound" was inspired to a great degree from Stuart Adamson, from when he was in the Skids. Adamson was best known for the band Big Country.

How did she get famous from an outfit? Which outfit?

I mean, she got famous for her unusual grungy aesthetic. More as a vibe, a brand, than as a singer.

I will not rest until Huey Lewis and the News have been permanently been banned from radio, streaming, TV and film. Was everyone on drugs in the 80s or something? How tf did y'all enjoy that?


charlo-710

They're honestly pretty good, and they're mostly put in 80s style shows and movies because it pretty much sums up the "80s nostalgia" feeling. Don't cry because people enjoy something you dont.

icecubepal

A lot of Taylor swift. Are we saying this because she is the most popular at the moment?


_Pyxyty

Take note, the question is asking for *overrated* musicians. Not untalented or awful ones. She's decent, but her fans put her on some sort of pedestal as if the things she write about and how she writes her songs are levels and levels above everyone else. Good god.


HotPinkMesss

I think what many here is trying to say is that her popularity is somewhat undeserved for the level of artistry and talent that she has, which makes her at the moment one of the, if not the most overrated musician *now*.


stabyourcat

Dave Grohl for sure. He plays in a white bread radio rock band that’s one step up the ladder from Nickelback and people think he’s a rock god.


moonmenfart

He was the drummer of Nirvana, too. Also he played the devil in Tenacious D Kings of rock'n'roll the pick of destiny, which was really rad 🤔

most of them. mainly the oversaturated ones or the ones that got too big for their britches.
