The Top Ten
1 Taylor Swift Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift is best known for writing personal songs and has won 13 Grammy Awards... read more

Even Taylor would admit she's not that great of a singer, but like it or not, her true talent is writing really great country-pop songs. Lots of signer-songwriters have only average voices, but if the songs written are good enough, they are popular anyway.

Who said she can't sing not only that but she cane write really good songs I can't name one song that I don't like from her and I have heard almost all her songs

In 2015, did you even care about singing anymore?

2 Ed Sheeran Edward Christopher "Ed" Sheeran is an English singer-songwriter and musician. He sang songs such as The A team and Shape of You. He was born in Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire and raised in Framlingham, Suffolk.

I feel like most of his fans in the beginning were teens because they probably didn't know any other singer-songwriters and didn't realize Ed wasn't original at all (and not even that good at the genre). Then, when he became famous, more people listened to him for no other reason than that he was famous.

He has said himself that to get where he is, all you have to do is work hard. So talent has nothing to do with it. If all you care about is fame and money, that's good advice, I guess. But for people to fawn all over him and call him an "artist" is just too much.

Hillary's whole platform is going to be that she forgave Bill for what he did. Do we want a president that has that little of heart. Forgiveness good but she doesn't care if he's sorry or not, she just wants the white house. That's what she believes.be ready. Something like that. By the way God probably forgives you ed. He would if you ask.

The only thing overrated about him is some of his songs, particularly shape of you and castle on the hill pretty much doing the same thing all over again

Ed Sheeran isn't overrated, he's actually a really good artist who writes really good songs.

3 Katy Perry Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, professionally known by her stage name Katy Perry, was born on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California. She is a singer, songwriter, actress and an ambassador on one of the most popular companies of now, UNICEF.

She is also is one of the best-selling artists of all time.

She physically attractive, but some of her songs are overplayed

Worst noise ever

4 Rihanna Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American pop singer.

She ultimately signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning ...read more.
5 Adam Levine Adam Noah Levine is an American singer and songwriter. He is the lead vocalist for the Los Angeles pop rock band Maroon 5. ...read more.
6 Ellie Goulding Elena Jane "Ellie" Goulding is an English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, born on December 30th, 1986 in Hereford, England. She is most well-known in the U.S. for her singles "Lights”, "Love Me Like You Do” and "Burn", and has been featured in other songs with artists like Calvin Harris. ...read more.

Ellie Goulding's voice is very annoying. It sounds so high and I can tell she uses auto-tune in her songs. Her songs aren't bad, it's just her squeaky voice.

Kind of harsh saying she is overrated, since her singing sounds just fine on her albums due to the extensive use of auto-tune and heavy editing.

She make a good song at lyrics but it's was ruin by her crap voice and auto-tune.I think singer
who used auto-tune should be a ordinary people back because some of people can't sing.It so shameful if singer can use auto-tune but people can't.

Her songs are good. Her voice is too attuned and squeaky.

7 Kanye West Ye (born Kanye Omari West; June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer and fashion designer. He is regarded as one of the most influential, as well as controversial, artists of the 21st century. ...read more.

He's not even a singer, he's a rapper. Just because he sings a few lyrics in his songs doesn't make him a singer.

He is a overrated uncivilized black trash that is obsessed with Beyonce knowles

Rappers are not singers.

8 Jackie Evancho Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued an EP and eight albums, including a platinum and gold album, and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. Evancho's latest album 'The Debut', was her eighth consecutive ...read more.

She's overrated. She's only 15, and she gets way too much credit. Her voice isn't bad, but all of her songs are covers. Nobody even gives the original artist credit! Face it, 80% of the population don't know who she is. She was also built by a reality show *instant deduction points*. Some people who were built by talent shows have vocal AND songwriting talent, like Kelly Clarkson. I can't be sure but I wouldn't be surprised if Jackie Evancho doesn't keep her fame through adulthood.

She isn't the most overrated on the list, however. That dishonor goes to Miss Taylor Swift (who is currently sitting at position number two). She can't sing a song that's not about exes.

Very true that most people at your school, wherever that is, have never heard of her. She is a serious classical singer, performing in a genre that grownups like. Other world-famous grownup singers love singing with her. Nobody in your school has also ever heard of Andrea Bocelli, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, Sarah Brightman, Barbra Streisand, or Katherine Jenkins, all of whom have sung with her. Maybe sometime after your 25th birthday your tastes will start to mature.

Are there actually girls and boys of her age who listen to opera classical crap? Even those who were young in the sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties do not listen to that crap. Who are her fans?

She only cover other artist song and don't focus on her music

9 Justin Bieber Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette. ...read more.

Justin Bieber is really good singer his new album purpose has really good song but he doesn't have a really good attitude

I feel like people like the beats in his songs more than the actual lyrics and that's why his songs are so popular.

Deport the freeloading British colonial sheep excrement permanently

He is overrated with his fans and haters. Am I right?

10 Ariana Grande Ariana Grande-Butera (born June 26, 1993) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Her four-octave vocal range has received critical acclaim, and her personal life has been the subject of widespread media attention.

The queen of auto-tune.

The Contenders
11 Shakira Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll is a Colombian-Spanish singer, songwriter, dancer, record producer, choreographer, and model.

12 Adele Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988) is an English singer and songwriter. Graduating from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, Adele was given a recording contract by XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on Myspace the same year. She is best known with her international ...read more.

Who the hell she think she is? In a concert of hers people were filming her performance ( this can be seen on YouTube if you don't believe me ) and she stopped singing and told that they have to stop filming her. If I go to a concert it means that I payed for the artist to entertain me. Not to get some orders ( is she the police? ) of the artist to tell me what to do or what not to do. Even if I film the concert and put it on line afterwards it doesn't change her pay ( and I didn't steal because I paid for ). Is she affraid that I will make some money with it if I decide to put a DVD out of my selfmade movie? The sound is not professional enough to put it out, the filming cannot be done from every angle etc... This is a singer who overrates herself thinking that she's the greatest singer of all time.

She's maybe overrated for popularity but certainly not for her talent. Even if you don't like her style of music, it's difficult to say that she's talentless and therefore overrated. Doesn't belong here or should at least be the last of this list.

Love Adele, she put out the best album of the year that's for sure...

What are you talking about, Adele is stunning.

13 Miley Cyrus Miley Ray Hemsworth (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.

He is best known for his singles such as "Whatcha Say", "Ridin' Solo", "In My Head", "What If", "Wiggle", "Talk Dirty", "Trumpets" and "Want To Want Me", all of which have gone platinum.
