Top 10 Music Artists that are Called "Talented" that are Talentless

OK so for some reason I was locked out of my account for god knows how long now. But fortunately, I have returned with a new list. This list is a list of music artists that some or most people call talented, that are actually, in fact, talentless.
The Top Ten
1 Rihanna Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American pop singer. Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, she first entered the music industry by recording demo tapes under the direction of record producer Evan Rogers in 2003. She ultimately signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning for its then-president, hip-hop producer and rapper Jay Z.

People only like her because she's from Barbados. Really? Could there be a poorer reason to like her? Anyway, Rihanna is not talented in the slightest and her music is the definition of trash, and Work and Diamonds are so repetitive and annoying it puts Gucci Gang into perspective.

Her voice sucks. Some of her older songs were good but her voice is bad.

2 Cardi B Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar (born October 11, 1992), known professionally as Cardi B, is an American rapper. Born and raised in New York City, she became an Internet celebrity by achieving popularity on Vine and Instagram. From 2015 to 2017, she appeared as a regular cast member on the VH1 reality television series Love & Hip Hop: New York, which depicted her pursuit of her music aspirations. She... read more

Wow seriously they call her talented!

3 Gucci Mane Radric Delantic Davis, known professionally as Gucci Mane, is an American rapper who has released 12 studio albums and over 70 mixtapes. In 2007, he founded his own label, 1017 Records.

4 Migos Migos is an American hip hop trio from Lawrenceville, Georgia, founded in 2008. They are composed of three rappers known by their stage names Takeoff, Quavo and Offset.
5 Avenged Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold is an American heavy metal band, that was formed 1999 in California. Their longest lineup of members was M. Shadows (Vocals), Synyster Gates (Lead Guitar), Zacky Vengeance (Rhythm Guitar), Johnny Christ (Bass Guitar), and The Rev (Drums). ...read more.

I think these guys are one of the worst bands ever. I just can't really get into them and I don't think they are really that talented. They're not even real metal.

I agree 100%. Almost every A7X song has a ripped off element, some songs have more than one. They should have been a cover band. Oh, and they aren't metal.

I seriously have no idea why people think these posers are a metal band.

The band all together is okay, their singer sounds whiny

6 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.

This guy is a genius.

7 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.

She has a nice vibrato and tone but she not a very "powerful" singer as everyone makes out to be. Beyonce and Lady Gaga have a much bigger vocal range than her

Incredibly overrated. I'm not trying to be biased, but seriously, there are way better singers.

I wouldn't call her talentless she can hit high notes pretty well.

I disagree. I think she's talented. She sings very good.

8 Lil Wayne
9 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.

Overwhelmingly overrated ginger Brit (no offense) whose songs are garbage, especially Shape of You and Perfect, AKA the most overplayed songs of all time. Seriously every time I go out I hear these stupid songs. They're not even good. In fact, they're terrible, especially Shape of You.

Not a fan of him, but I wouldn't call him talentless sure his lyrics are cheesy but he's a okay singer and a tolerable guitarist.

Ed Sheeran is a very talented singer/songwriter even if you don't like his music. I happen to like his music.

To the person who thinks he's talentless, Ed Sheeran is doing EXTREMELY WELL right around the world!

10 Chris Brown Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown (born May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. Born in Tappahannock, Virginia, he was involved in his church choir and several local talent shows from a young age. He is most well known for his physical assault towards the singer Rihanna in 2009. He is also known for many hit singles, such as "Kiss Kiss", "Run It!", "Forever", "Deuces", "Look At Me Now", "Loyal", "Ayo", and "Back to Sleep".

His old stuff was pretty good, but he's not as great as his fans make him out to be. His fans act like he's this generation's MJ, but MJ never needed auto-tune and didn't sound bad live. Many of his contemporaries can all out-sing and out-r&b him any day.

The Contenders
11 Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Lynn Lopez, also known as J. Lo, is an American singer, actress, dancer, fashion designer, author and producer.
12 Camila Cabello Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao, or professionally Camila Cabello (born March 3, 1997) is an American-Cuban musician. Camila was best known for being part of the girl group Fifth Harmony. Fifth Harmony are known for songs like Worth It, Work From Home, All In My Head (Flex), Bo$, and Sledgehammer. Camila left Fifth Harmony in December, 2016. In her solo career, Camila became a huge hit again with her songs Havana and Senorita which reached no. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2018 and 2019 respectively.

She may be better than she was in the worst girl group ever, Fifth Harmony, but she is still pretty horrific as a musician.

Havana shows it.

NickelbackLinkinPark4Eva sorry to hear about your account getting locked, but I’m glad you’re back, and I agree, Camila is so overrated and for me, Fifth Harmony has always been terrible, even with her.

13 Avril Lavigne Avril Ramona Lavigne is a Canadian–French singer-songwriter and actress. By the age of 15, she had appeared on stage with Shania Twain; by 16, she had signed a two-album recording contract with Arista Records worth more than $2 million.

Untalented pop punk star that recently turned to pop music just like Maroon 5 and Coldplay.

I majorly disagree... especially with her song "Let Me Go"

14 Kesha Kesha Rose Sebert (formerly known as Ke$ha) was born on March 1st, 1987 in Los Angeles, United States. She is best known for her hits like Timber, Tik Tok, and We R Who We R. Kesha is an animal rights activist and she works for H.S.I. (Humane Society International). Kesha also stands up for L.G.B.T. rights in America

If you're talking pre -2017 music then I agree, but her music she released last year was pretty solid.

I agree with RogerWatersfan1999 that Praying is EXTREMELY overrated.

15 Lady Gaga Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.

On the start of her career, she performed at an event called the Lollapalooza Festival during 2007 whereby a record label company Interscope found her due to her performance being “amusing” to watch. Since Interscope found her, she was a mastermind behind her songs with a team of producers namely Rob Fusari and RedOne. Most of her songs were deep unreleased cuts, due to her having more than 30 songs and 17 were picked. ...read more.

Not as talented as most people seem to think and her latest song with Bradley Cooper is overrated as hell.

Not a fan of her, but I wouldn't call her talentless...

She can actually sing.

16 Kendrick Lamar Kendrick Lamar Duckworth (born June 17, 1987) is an American rapper and songwriter. Raised in Compton, California, Lamar embarked on his musical career as a teenager under the stage name K-Dot, releasing a mixtape that garnered local attention and led to his signing with indie record label Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE).

Dude can write better lyrics than any rapper of this generation. For you to say that he's a Drake wannabe is like saying Michael Jackson was a Prince wannabe

He's super overrated and not that lyrical like everybody claims he is, but he's not talentless.

He's the most respected modern day rapper. He's smart, creative and deserving I'm not even a fan.

He's not a drake wannabe. He actually raps about Meaningful things!

17 Twenty One Pilots Twenty One Pilots is an American musical duo that is originally from Columbus, Ohio, who are best known for their songs "Stressed Out", "Heathens" and "Ride". Currently there are two members, Tyler Joseph (lead vocals, piano, keyboards, synthesizers, ukulele, bass and guitar) and Josh Dun (drums and percussion). Former members include Nick Thomas (guitar, bass, piano and keyboards) and Chris Salih (drums and percussions). The band was formed in 2009 with Joseph, Thomas and Salih. ...read more.

Really, really, really overrated emo/hip hop/indie band. They honestly have 0 talent, and their fangirls managed to become more cancerous than One Direction's fans, and it's pretty difficult to beat the level of cancer their fans reach.

All my friends are heathens take it slow ask for them to ask you who you know

Extremely overhyped band.

18 Drake Aubrey Drake Graham, known professionally as Drake, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, born on October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Canada. He started his career on Canadian reality show "Degrassi: The Next Generation".

He deserves to be higher than Kendrick... most of Drake's songs are garbage without any substance or meaning put into it... there's a few exceptions but not a lot.

19 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.

Of course a negative music list wouldn't be complete without Justin Bieber.

Wouldn't call him completely talentless or talented either just in between.

I have no words for this guy except "what's wrong with you"

14th? Someone's taking the mick.

20 Dimash Kudaibergen Dinmukhamed Kanatuly Kudaibergenov, commonly known as Dimash Kudaibergen (born May 24th, 1994) is a Kazakh singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Dimash is best known as a contestant of Chinese talent show "Singer 2017" where he was declared a runner-up. He is also known for possessing a wide vocal range, measuring up to 5 octaves.

I'm not a spammer, and I found him talented in his own genre when I checked out a few songs. Of course, he doesn't have the most regognizable voice as the spammers say, but at least he really can sing, unlike K.S. Chithra, another spam target being a beauty.

Spam bots from Kazakh treat him like the best thing ever.

21 Linkin Park Linkin Park is an American alternative rock band formed in Agoura Hills, California, in 1996. The current members include Mike Shinoda (vocals, keyboards, rhythm guitar), Brad Delson (guitar), Dave "Phoenix" Farrell (bass), Joe Hahn (DJ), and Rob Bourdon (drums). Linkin Park is associated with a mixture of alternative rock, hip hop, and techno. Some of their influences include Nine Inch Nails, Deftones,... read more

One of the few items that actually apply the artists ahead generally actually are talented like Ed Sheeran, Adele and Kendrick Lamar or are mostly agreed to be talentless like Chris Brown or Nicki Minaj.

The epitome of rubbish. Chester Bennington is a talentless hack who has the most annoying voice of all time. Look at Mainstreampopsucks3's rant on Linkin Park for more information about how they suck.

FAR from talentless...

22 Bob Dylan Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter, author, and artist who has been an influential figure in popular music and culture for more than five decades.

He's a decent songwriter but a mediocre vocalist.

23 Imagine Dragons Imagine Dragons is an American pop rock band from Provo, Utah, and are now based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Imagine Dragons' lineup consists of lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman. The band first gained exposure with the release of their ...read more.

They're good. I like their songs except Thunder.

They are talented. Deal with it.

24 Nicki Minaj Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist. Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang". Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably distinctive for her fast flow and her use of alter egos with Cockney accent. She has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi. Minaj has received ten Grammy-nominations throughout her career, and has won multiple awards including the Billboard's Women in Music 2011 Rising Star award.
25 Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947) is an American politician, diplomat, and former lawyer who served as the 67th United States secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, as a United States senator representing New York from 2001 to 2009, and as first lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001 as the wife of President Bill Clinton. A member of the Democratic Party, she was the party's nominee for president in the 2016 presidential election, becoming the first woman to win a presidential nomination by a major U.S. political party; Clinton won the popular vote, but lost the Electoral College vote, thereby losing the election to Donald Trump.
