No talent ass clowns - musicians that don't deserve fame

[Giants Fan 85]

I'll start: Gwen Stefani

[rholio 339]

Nicki Minaj

[ZeroTolerance 584]

Black Eyed Peas

[drobeski 3,061]

Abba

[hoytdwow 202]

MOst of the Top 40 type stars.

 

Robin Thicke, Pitbull, etc

[Drizzay 723]

Kiss. There, someone had to say it.

[gocolts 300]

U2

 

For some reason, I just can not stand these focks. The Police and STING or whatever the fock his name is too. Those guys focking BLOW.

[kilroy69 1,251]

KISS for sure. They put makeup on and played bad music. Twisted sister did it better.

[shotsup 832]

U2

[BunnysBastatrds 2,449]

[drobeski 3,061]

Rap

yup talking over stolen beats and riffs can't get any less talented than that

[Bill E. 703]

Agree with everything here except Sting. Abba and Gwen Stefani are ok. Especially agree with Rap sucking worse than any music ever created. My farts sound better than rap.

[MDC 7,471]

Gonna be really hard to beat Kiss.

[Voltaire 5,317]

Gonna be really hard to beat Kiss.

Kiss is losing 4-3 as I cast another vote for ©rap.

[Mike Honcho 5,288]

Seems a few people don't understand the difference between "No-talent" and just not liking something. Taken as a whole, it's tough to beat Kiss in a no-talent, so I'll vote for them.

[Bishop82 61]

Nirvana

[hoytdwow 202]

American culture places a premium on having no talent, or at least having very superficial talent, like being able to mimic other artists. Look at shows like American Idol and The Voice.

[hoytdwow 202]

I don't really like Kiss, but they are not untalented. They're just overrated. And U2....wow. I mean, say what you want about Bono and his causes and over the top delivery, but The Edge is a great guitarrist.

[Mike Honcho 5,288]

U2

It isn't a lack of talent that is the reason you don't like them.

[vuduchile 1,945]

Janet Jackson

Brittany Spears

 

KISS definitely sucked, but they did write all those crappy songs and play those three chords on their own instruments.

 

Janet and Brittany can't sing or play an instrument.

 

Their formula is dress like a stripper, do a little dance, sing at slightly lower decibels than their backup singers and throw in a few whispers and grunts.

 

Bada Bing. Instant stardom.

[vuduchile 1,945]

Agreed.

 

I haven't liked much of what they've done in the last 10 years, but they're a fairly talented group.

[crackattack 520]

U2's early stuff is great. Joshua Tree is a focking outstanding album. Their more recent stuff....meh. I would vote Kiss.

Is having a great singing voice a talent? I say it is.

[paulinstl 296]

Boy Bands

Pop Queens

Hair Metal Bands

Rappers

Country dudes who wrap themselves in the flag to sell CDs to hillbillies

[hoytdwow 202]

Of course it is. And using it to simulate other singers to win a contest is superficial

[NewbieJr 541]

But the thread is about people without talent. There is a ton of talented singers on American Idol. The structure of the show lends to them doing cover versions (or, as you call them, impersonations) of songs. Many of them (Kelly Clarkson, Phil Phillips, Daughtry, etc) turn out to be talented songwriters. And can play guitar or other instruments. Like someone said earlier, people are confusing having no talent with acts they simply don't like.

Don't forget the a$$clown aspect to this thread.

[hoytdwow 202]

My point is that the American Idol doesn't value actual artistic or musical talent, just the aping of celebrities. If it did, it would be a songwriting contest. There was a girl on the Voice a few weeks back who was playing a guitar that wasn't plugged in. It's a farce. And sure Daughtry went on to succeed, but he didn't win the contest writing his own songs, because you can't sell Doritos and Bud Light with that.

That's because it's a singing contest, not a songwriting contest. Singing, on its own merit, is a talent. But, like I said, many of them have songwriting and instrumental abilities, too. Just this past season, Alex Preston and Jena were both musicians and songwriters. And they were 2 of the top 3. There's plenty of talent on AI. Things are just much different now. Record labels don't send talent scouts to the local dive bars to sign the next radio star. There are outlets for these folks to show themselves off to millions.

With different styles it can be difficult to say. I think Eddie may have better technical ability when he's sober, but Clapton is definitely better at evoking emotion with his style and musical ability. I'd give a slight edge to Clapton for that.

[FeelingMN 273]

Not sure if they qualify because I guess technically, they're not musicians. But they're famous no talent ass clowns....Milli Vanilli.
