The Shocking Truth Behind the Most Overhyped Musical Artists You Can’t Stop Hearing About

The Shocking Truth Behind the Most Overhyped Musical Artists You Can’t Stop Hearing About

Taylor Swift has been honored with awards left and right, including 11 Grammy Awards, but there is something a lot of people can’t shake off (pun intended). One reviewer of Swift’s music wrote, “It’s one thing to be a musician, but be a little creative.”

“And creative is one thing she’s NOT. It seems like all she ever sings about are breakups and constantly comparing herself to popular people, and nothing else, which gets kinda boring after a while.”

The King, Elvis Presley, was one of a kind when he came onto the music scene in the 1950s. He was swinging his hips and singing in a sultry blues voice no one had really heard before.

Maybe it’s because of the various genres available to listen to, but many people find The King’s lyrics to be lacking any emotional depth.

Unfortunately, it seems as though Billie Eilish made a music career out of being sad. At least, that’s what many reviewers think of the young artist and her music.

One person called her “Nothing special. She makes money off of her young fans by acting sad. Bad Guy has been the most overrated song in the last century. Also wins awards by doing Nothing.”

Many people agree that while Mariah Carey has some good stand-alone albums, she really doesn’t know how to compile an album correctly. A weird thing, considering how long she has been in the industry.

One reviewer wrote, “The one thing that bugs me about Mariah is her inability to make a consistent album. Somebody needs to watch over her while she’s making these albums…Her songs are great as stand-alone songs, but trying to listen through her albums is very hard.”

Gwen Stefani broke through the music scene in the mid-1990s as the lead singer of the ska band No Doubt. While No Doubt was huge, once Stefani went solo, things kind of went south.

ADVERTISEMENT

The thing is, all of her music sounds so similar to the original bands that it is hard to differentiate between the two. When artists go solo, they tend to find their own sound and style. Stefani didn’t.

Stevie Nicks

As it turns out, swaying around with a fringe saw and tambourine doesn’t do it for everyone. While Stevie Nicks made a name for herself with Fleetwood Mac and their album Dreams, she doesn’t do it for people when it comes to solo works.

ADVERTISEMENT

Her sound is unique, but, unfortunately, everything meshes together and sounds oddly similar.

The Queen of Pop, Madonna, shot to stardom in 1983 with her self-titled debut album. Sadly, she should have stuck to the decade because her music hasn’t changed much since the time of big hair and spandex.

Madonna seems to be doing nothing more than reliving her heyday by continuing to release the same-sounding music and have an eccentric onstage persona.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez has many accomplishments to her name, including some iconic films and songs. Sadly, the latter isn’t for everyone, with some people thinking JLo is overhyped because of her media coverage.

ADVERTISEMENT

Maybe she got the hint because JLo really hasn’t released an album since 2014, focusing on her film career instead.

Eric Clapton

Even 18 Grammy Awards doesn’t detract from the fact that Eric Clapton is an overrated singer. While his guitar skills are pretty much unparalleled, Clapton should have left singing to someone else.

ADVERTISEMENT

Clapton hasn’t really changed his tune since he stepped onto the music scene in the 1960s. He’s even considered lazy by other musicians because he hasn’t demonstrated any growth in his craft.

Bob Marley

Bob Marley is really good for a certain mood, such as lounging on the beach all day. His music is lazy, which wouldn’t be bad if he had other tempos in his track set.

ADVERTISEMENT

Alas, Marley sings about the beach, waves, drinking red wine, little birds, and how being single is better than having a woman in life.

Cyndi Lauper

A 1980s singer through and through, Cyndi Lauper was at the height of her fame throughout the decade. Sadly, her sound didn’t advance with the times, and she was left behind with her high-pitched “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” sound that people tend to confuse with Madonna.

Granted, she did win a Tony Award for composing Kinky Boots, so she has that going for her!
