Top Ten Most Overrated Female Singers
This woman is overrated to the point her fandom thinks you must be racist to dislike her or call her overrated.
She is not a songwriter, she has been sued over stealing credits plenty of times and has writing camps.
While her old music (2003-2009) is great, her recent music has to rely on political messages ignoring to put effort into lyrics and beats.
She has a perfect technique but everyone can get that with professional training, her voice has no soul and her fans claim she's better than Mariah Carey or Michael Jackson when she isn't even the most talented singer of her generation.
There, I said it. She isn't even a bad artist, but people need to understand she's not perfect.
I am neutral with Beyonce. She is a talented singer with a very good singing voice and she seems to be happy about her job as a singer (Her smile is somewhat makes me happy as well) but I can't really get into her music. Her songwriting isn't that good and sometimes the lyrics can be repetitive and annoying. She has talent but she isn't as good as her fans make her out to be either.
Should be number 1 in my opinion. There are many female singers better than her that get less attention. BoA is an Asian pop singer, and she barely gets half the recognition Taylor gets, and she is way more talented, she can write good songs, she has some fun dance songs, she can dance, she has a good unique voice, can speak multiple languages. Taylor on the other hand cannot sing, her songs aren't very good, her lyrics are not very good due to the fact that they are repetitive, and she lacks originality and creativity. Honestly, her best content is her music videos, the only good thing about her, she has some amazing music videos with better scenes than some movies. But her music sucks though and is overplayed that it gets annoying. And she is money grabbing and starts drama for no good reason in real life. She is exactly like the stereotype for a popular girl.
She is also is one of the best-selling artists of all time. She won 4 Guinness World Records, 5 MTV Awards, 5 American Music Awards, 16'ASCAP Pop Music Awards, 5 Billboard Music Awards, 14 People's Choice, 1 Juno Award, 2 Myx Music Awards, 3 NRJ Awards, 6 Teen Choice and a Brit Award. ...read more.
When I kissed a girl first came on the radio, I figured that this was just some sort of joke song, like a Friday, and that this katy perry person would be gone. Sadly that did not happen. I thought the same for kesha, and lady gaga. Why do the bad singers always last but the good ones "flop! "
Her old songs were actually pretty good, her best songs are Fingerprints, Lost, and Self Inflicted, which are full of meaning, good lyrics, and her vocals at her best. But her more poppy songs are annoying, overrated, and suck. Bon Appetit is a terrible song.
Katy Perry's songs are all the same to be honest. There's very little distinction. She's also kind of growing off me and she's the most generic pop artist of all time.
Love her as a songwriter but has an extremely average voice. Doesn't shine during live performances. Still one of the better singers out there.
If she has another comeback like her crazy fans say she will I will shoot myself. Her comeback in 2005 was bad enough. We Belong Together is an overrated song, if any other pop chick sang that they'd be called "generic" or "forgettable." But when mariah does it it's "revolutionary! " Let me let you in on a little secret mariah fans, just because a song goes to number 1 doesn't mean it's good! It just means that people have terrible taste for letting a song with annoying yelling and generic lyrics and an overdone beat go to number 1 for 14 weeks. That type of beat was so overdone at that time, Usher did it better anyway!
Why isn't she in the top 3?
Her fans are super insane and she WAS great, now she turned into a shady girl (it pass) with a ruined voice (this can't).
On Youtube I've heard:
"The old Mariah was the greatest but the new Mariah not so much, she still better than 95% of the singers thought". Where? Have you heard her recent performances without lip sync? They were awful, she was surpassed by singers such as:
P!nk, Adele, Beyoncè, Ariana, Gaga, Sia, Demi, Rihanna and Miley (Miley may be bad but she can sing).
Also I hate how they always complain that most of the singers in this list can't sing but when Mariah does a bad perfection they always come with silly excuses such as: she was obviously ill, she had cold, she was sad.
Also their fans always spread the hate on other female singers:
Ariana has a voice they comes close to Mariah skills, the results? Hate on Ariana.
Rihanna is the second female singer with #1 sonsgs after Mariah, the results? Hate on ...more
Her music sucks and lacks soul. Also, let me let you in on a little secret - mariah carey doesn't write most of her songs! She wrote her music back in the 90's when she was still a new singer but ever since she became involved with hip hop she stopped writing her own lyrics. Now she only "co-writes" which is basically where she adds 3 or 4 words or a harmony to a song so her name will be on the song and she can collect royalties. stupid spoiled shallow twit!
Sure her music is alright but honestly the only song people remember from her is "All I Want for Christmas". She is also so full of herself that it makes me really want to slap her.
Even though I certainly think Taylor Swift is extremely overrated, I have to say Selena is hands down the most overrated female singer ever. Ha, she can't even sing AT ALL. She probably has the flattest voice I've ever heard. She's a much better actress, but even that isn't the best. Her looks are the main reason why she's so popular. She isn't talented, has no artistry or stage presence, 0 iconic videos or performances, never changes it up and is quite boring. at least Miley is a talented singer, has artistry and stage presence, has iconic videos and performances, and is creative, interesting and always changes it up. Selena just doesn't have the attributes of a star!
Overrated. People only like her for her looks. That's what she's famous for, and for having a relationship with JB. Her fans are typical teens who only comment on how she 'slays' because she looks good. So superficial it's ridiculous. Even in videos of her singing live (where she sounds awful) people only focus on how good she looks and not on the bloody performance instead. In today's music industry, it doesn't matter how you sound, you just have to sell records. Her fans are so brainwashed that they think she sounds good, even in her live performances. It's so sad people like her who are talentless singers get more spotlight than people who are truly talented and deserve to have their share of fame.
She is no different than any other former Disney star. I just don't see the difference. I think Demi Lovato is unique and she made a name for herself after she left Disney and even Miley Cyrus does something different (either we like it or not) but Selena is plain boring. She doesn't come out of her comfort zone and she only sings teen pop tracks. Maybe if she did something different, she would be better.
She is a worst singer and can't sing without autotune it's a common topic but some people keep saying that she should stick in acting. Oh come on she can't even act. Check out her new latest song The heart wants what it wants. She can't even cry or act. She is good for nothing. Such a overrated.
Her high-pitched voice irritates the hell out of me. She's a mariah carey 2.0, so no wonder why I can't stand her voice and music. She yells instead of sings just like mariah does now. I'm not talking about the 90's Mariah, I'm talking about the annoying 2000's one who dressed like a ho to distract people from her wack music and declining voice, and yelled in all of her songs. Jessie J is so much better at singing than little ariana that it's not even funny. And her Whitney Houston tribute was nothing special. Others like Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Hudson, and even Leona Lewis did Whitney tributes that were all ten times better than young ariana's. The other ladies actually sounded like women while singing Whitney songs, little ariana sounded like a little girl. It makes sense though I guess, since she has the body of a little girl and personality of a little girl.
Can people quit comparing her with Mariah Carey? Good God, it annoys me the way people say that she's becoming the next Mariah and comparing other people's voices to her, to make it sound like she's the best female singer in the world. Like, y'all know that Mariah sings even better than she can. And not only her, but Tori Kelly too. Tori can easily slay Ariana's songs any time, plus Tori has better songs than she does.
I cannot stand hearing about her so much. It seriously annoys the hell out of me the way every other underrated singer gets ignored and everyone is blabbering endlessly about precious Ariana Grande. And the way everyone acts like she's miss perfect annoys me too.
Super overrated, super annoying hearing about her every time.
I know she has talent but the problem I have with her is the fact that she wastes it on mostly generic pop songs. She has a good singing voice and she is fine as an actor, but I am not a fan of her music. Sorry.
She was way better as an actress. But, I do like her songs. Don't get me wrong, she has quite a nice voice, but nothing fantastic. I LOVE MARIAH CAREY! She is like the #1 singer! Why is she even here? Anyways, I commend Ariana for wanting to be like Mariah!
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.
She is really, really talented. Her pop music was kind of different, but her work with Tony Bennett is just really, really good. Their version of Baby It's Cold Outside is to die for. I mean, he has called her the smartest person in show business and their voices blend perfectly. And how cool is he? I mean Tony Bennett is going to be 90 this August!
Noo, oh please don't say Ms Gaga is overrated. Have you heard her duets with Tony Bennett? She has such a fabulous voice for the Jazz genre. She should really ditch pop and become a jazz artist. Her voice is so much more suited for it.
To be fair, I haven't heard her jazz work. Her pop work is overrated, but I can understand how her voice would work well for jazz.
The only singer here who is actually overrated. The others are only listened to by teenage girls.
Worst singer ever but somehow people like her.
She's a TERRIBLE rapper with an annoying voice. No fan of rap or hip hop has respect for Iggy's '' rapping '' She's overrated because she's a white girl rapping and acting '' black ''
She is awesome, you gotta hear her. DO SO.
More like underrated, usually she's hated for her style and songs when she can actually sing and wastes her talent.
She is not overrated, she is bad (but she is talented).
EDIT: now she is good.
Love her songs but yeah she is overrated and crazy.
You can be really good and still be overrated. I know she has a fanatic group,of people that follow her, and some have said she is starting to write songs. If she can do it, this would be how she really makes her mark. Unless you have the talent of a Barbra Streisand or Judy Garland (both of whom can also act), songwriting is what will really keep people remembering you. People rave about her version of With or Without You, but that will always be a U2 song. She needs some songs of her own.
She seems like a really sweet kid and has a beautiful voice so I don't want to hate on her, but jeez she she has an awful fanbase! They always act like they are more "mature" than other fanbases. She is also number one on most lists that have to do with vocal talent. I love classical music, but I like the fact that most of it doesn't have lyrics, so I've never really enjoyed her music. This group will soon climb the list of worst fanbases.
The Jackie Evancho haters seem to be extremely poor at math skills. They say she is on "all" or "every" music list, when she is on very few lists. She is not on ANY list about metal, rock, pop, jazz, reggae, techno, soul, ska, disco, industrial, dance, folk, R&B, screamo, roots, hip-hop, groups, non-Americans, music recorded before 2009, or anything at all by males. That leaves less than 1/2 of one percent even in the music category.
She ceartinly has a great voice, and is a lot better than many child singers, but all in all, her songs are rated too high on this site. A lot of other singers worked a lot harder, and went through a lot more than her to get famous. Also, they had more life experiences, so they really mean the words they sing. Still, Evancho is much, much better than 99% of child singers..
Everybody always goes on about how great of a vocalist she is and how powerful her voice is, but I can't stand her. She does have some potential and a wide range, but she insists on yelling and using the ugliest tone. I also don't like her personality. She seems so desperate for attention all the time, and we're supposed to forgive her because "she's been through a lot" and "she has an amazing voice". Yeah, no. Overall, I can't stand Demi Lovato and I think she's overrated.
She can sing very well but I think that the majority of her fans love her not because of her singing talent but because of her story and her background. They like her more as a person than as a singer I think, which is not bad of course.
Her heroin addiction will be her downfall.
I think Demi is underrated.
This woman and her voice put me to sleep. I don't understand why everyone raves about her. Her voice is average at best and really annoying. Her songs would be considered average if any other artist were to perform her songs. She has a beautiful face, and while I admire that she chooses to use her voice to sell records instead of her body, I don't understand why she dresses matronly. I thought she was in her 40s or 50s until someone told me otherwise. However, I applaud her for using her "talent" to sell records instead of her body.
Horrible singing technique. She has surgery on her vocal chords because she blew them out. She needs some proper vocal training. Not that I don't think she's talented. She is a good singer. She isn't as good as everyone things she is though. Definitely not as good as Whitney or other big voiced singers before her.
She is good because the others are very bad. Ten years ago or 20 years ago she would not have been the sale monster she has become. However if she does not change her style and lyrics the next album will be a huge flop. Therefore since 25 she is overrated
I have to disagree. Adele is a consummate artist who writes her own music and is fast becoming the premier female singer in music today. Her album 25 is the hottest thing on the planet right now...
Madonna is one of the most overrated singers in the world! She can't sing any better than a cow and her songs are no better than any other tune on the radio. Worst of all, she insulted the greatest singer of all time, MICHAEL JACKSON! That dumb blonde is far from being "The Queen Of Pop". She should be called "The Queen Of Overrated Garbage"!
Time to retire love, you're embarrassing yourself.
I only like her in the song "Love The Way You Lie" but honestly Eminem made her look amateur (she sucked in "The Monster"). Everything else she does makes my ears bleed.
I've mixed feellings about this, because she is an underrated vocalist.
I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS because she is underrated, she is beautiful and also her songs are also good to hear! If I was sad, I will hear one of Britney's song to cheer up! Britney Spears never let me down!
Number 20? NUMBER 20? She should be in the top 5!
She's the inspiration of many new artists then she's on 18?! that's Redeclouse
Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably... read more
Stop hating on nicki minaj and making fun of her because of anaconda and the other horrible song. Just ignore it and listen to her good songs like save me and turn me on. Nicki minaj can sing and has one of the most beautiful voices. If she later improves her songs and attitude a little she might be one of the best singers ever.
I feel sorry for Nicki because she had a horrible life and she had been through hell so I respect her for overcoming the obstacles. However, I most definitely hate the music she makes. It's just too mainstream and commercial and most of her lyrics don't make any sense.
Me: Nicki, how does it feel dissing skinny girls when you were one too?
Her: I was never skinny I always had a fat ass!
Me: how do you explain this then? (insert picture of her before plastic surgery)
Her: whatever I don't like you! Wa where is my publicist!
I love kesha and she is underrated. She may have some inappropriate songs. But she can sing somehow. And most of her songs are fun and catchy. I barely hear kesha on T.V.. She was only overrated in timber and tic tok but the rest of her songs are underrated. Take her off the list she is not really overrated.
I think I have never listen to keshas real voice because she uses so much autotune...
She has some really good songs from before her comeback in 2017 and rainbow got me into her music, she's far from overrated
Ugh...how do people actually like this crap? Aaliyah is not a good singer at all! In fact she's horrible! No talent what soever, little baby-ish voice and stupid lame generic music that she didn't even write! She brought nothing to the table talent-wise! The only talent this girl had was spreading her legs to everyone in the industry!
So sick of hearing about this average girl with her average voice.
Now I don't really like Beyonce, but Beyonce's voice is 10 times better than aaliyah's. So stop the comparisons! Aaliyah would not be beyonce! She would be Ciara or Ashanti!
She had an average voice, the only reason she became famous was because R. Kelly was into young girls.
I looked at all the hype and listened to a few of her songs. There's nothing that is super phenomenal about her at all. She just average at best. I personally think she's overrated because of her death and because of untalented boi R Kelly the pedo
Proof that having all looks and no talent can make you famous.
Halsey is underrated. She is the best person ever and her songs are the best with actually good lyrics unlike everyone else you hear nowadays. Please do me a favor and take the amazing Halsey off of this horrid list.
I used to like her, until I realised how generic and boring her music is. I also heard that she is a SJW in real life for overreacting to hotel shampoo, claiming it's sexist, so she's probably not a good person.
Halsey is easily one of the most untalented female singers I've ever heard, there is NOTHING that is actually good about this pretentious woman. Also, people think she's good but I disagree. Heelll naawww!
She is not supposed to be in this list. She is amazing. She is a honest singer. I love Halsey.
Her voice is not lovely. The first time I was introduced to Sia was on Flo Rida's "Wild Ones." I was like "what is this? This chick sounds horrible! " the first time I heard the chorus. I never would've thought that she would become mainstream after that. So she can thank Flo Rida for her success. Because without Flo Rida nobody would know about her and nobody would've cared about her. The only reason the mainstream cares about her was because of Flo Rida, and they know that Flo Rida is a great money maker. So they figured, that anything related to Flo Rida must be worth investing in, since Flo Rida makes them so much money. They did the same thing with Kesha. Nobody cared about that annoying chick until she was featured on Flo Rida's "Right Round."
I wished to see this on first place. She has a really stupid voice and the way she sings is so annoying. Also is unattractive and she has get a gigantic career but I am sure there are millions of girls singing better in this world but they don't have the success she has..
Definitely garbage. I do not know how people consider her voice beautiful when she has no control over her vibrato or pitching. Her voice cracks like a boy going through puberty. She is terrible. Sounds like a washed out Rhianna, and that is sad considering Rhianna is also horrible
Who Put her on here! She sings better than some of the other singers on this list.
She might not be the best singer ever, but she's better than singers like today's Taylor Swift or Nicki Minaj.
Yet even better than Ariana Grande.
This girl seriously won America's got talent? Out of a load of other cotestants, they chose her? Bruh...she can't even sing that good...
Not a bad singer but she didn't deserved to win America got talent!
Absolutely the most overrated singer on the planet. Not that she's bad but I see comments like she's the best singer ever. Sorry, not anywhere near. She can only sing country. She tried singing Sinatra at his 100th birthday celebration and failed miserably. She tried acting and was a disaster in Sound of Music. She is a good singer for her genre, but the best singer ever? That people are even thinking it way overrates her.
If she is okay with racists in America (because freedom of speech -! ), then she deserves to be treated like trash
You're right, Luke, it is sad that she thinks you have to put a "run" on the end of every line. A lot of the Voice coaches are like that. It seems like they've never heard of people like Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, or for that matter James Taylor or Carole King who just sing the song and give the message. Not every song was meant to be some elaborate production.
Screams and strains every note, it's sad cause she has an amazing and breath taking voice, if only she used it properly.
