10 Musical Artists That Don't Deserve Their Fame

The Top Ten
1 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.

I'm sick of Justin Bieber! He's rude, gross, awful to his family and he's got the dumbest fans in the world. He really does. His fans are either little girls who only care about his looks and nit his skill or the crimes he's caused, or people who just like songs that have lyrics like "swaggie". Anybody who really takes this kid seriously, you guys are idiots. He's a joke. He's a joke artist. He's not meant to be taken seriously.

This person is one of the rudest celebrities I have ever seen. He got banned from Panama one of my favorite countries (needs some work on government though) for breaking the law! And he is from MY COUNTRY, which is pretty bad for it. I've seen better Canadian artists who deserve better. Shawna Twain is one who deserves better, and I mean WAY better.

Every time I hear his pathetic voice, I want to grab a bag and puke into it for eternity. I mean, WHY, WHY is he popular, huh? He sings awfully, he looks like a girl and he has no dressing whatsoever. One it was on T.V. and my mom in the next room was like, 'Wow, which female singer is that? ' Bah.

Justin Bieber has sort of improved, but it was terrible how he got sent to jail. I feel pretty bad for my country (I live in Canada too). Not only that, I'm visiting Ontario this August and I'm part Indian too. And I'm christian... But those are hopefully the only things we have in common...

2 Jacob Sartorius Rolf Jacob Sartorius (known by his middle name), born October 2, 2002, is an American singer and internet personality, who rose to fame via social media from posting lip-syncing videos on musical.ly and his Vines (on Vine). In 2016, he released his debut single "Sweatshirt", which reached the Hot 100 ...read more.

This little Danish poop got his fame from lip-syncing and dancing to others' music in front of a camera. I don't get how he got popular, I don't get why people like Sweatshirt with a million metric tons of lip-sync in it. His fans, which mostly consist of girls younger than this comment, are complete retards that'll call any vowel that comes out mouth a legend. Jacob Citrusfruit has shown us quite well that he cannot handle fame, especially fame that he didn't deserve. Crying on stream because of hate comments? Grow up! I was eight or younger and I was completely insensitive to such. Sartorius does not look good or sexy like all the teen girls are calling him, he looks like the stereotypical, lanky celebrity.

Way too much hate, but I see where this is coming from. He SERIOUSLY needs to work on his music like and I mean for like 30 years of practice. He can't even sing. Why is he an artist in the first place, and he is sad because people ridicule him. That's part of being famous. I get sad because of being ridiculed, but not for all of the attention. I just want a real friend that is nice. This "celebrity" on the other hand wanted attention and thinks that he is the best celebrity out of them all. No one is perfect!

Talentless! At least Justin Bieber was discovered for his singing. Jacob makes me cringe.

He doesn't produce any music himself,rather uses ghost producers.Doesn't have a very good voice,and writes about unoriginal and often cliche stuff.

3 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 ...read more.

Yes! Rihanna can't sing for crap! And what's worse is that people think that 2-3 good performances out of hundreds makes her a good singer.

Rihanna should change her name to "talentless pop artist" because she's talentless and is a pop artist.

Who voted for her are the ones that doesn't deserves to be famous.

Her older songs were tolerable.

4 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.

Why is she so low? She makes Justin Bieber sound good, no not good. AMAZING. I'm not joking. She really is that bad! Want proof? Go look up Stupid Vie and you'll see what I mean.

Nicki was actually a never good rapper to start with. The only good song I like from her is "Starships", that's it, but the rest is terrible no other less.

For Beyonce you hate that kind of music? I mean, I'm no fan of her but if you listen to this thing, I'm sure your ears'll bleed till you drop dead!

Maybe the reason she's low is that she's starting to lose fame. And that is GOOD.

5 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
6 One Direction One Direction (commonly abbreviated as 1D) were a British-Irish pop boy band based in London, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously, Zayn Malik until his departure from the band on 25 March 2015. The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records ...read more.

They were put together by simon cowel they diddent even know each other. They diddent win they have got other people making them a ton of money from young girls and exploting the young girls they should not be were they are becouse they diddent win they are not as good as most contestans and yet were manufactored by sico and now have earned millions from doing nothing I work every day all my life and these little shixxts get it all at once for being at the right place at the right time just not fair learn to work before you get rich.

They are famous just for their looks, they can barely sing and their music is trashy. They are also terrible music and girls who say "they saved my life" are all liars because those boys do nothing but smoke weed and sing about stealing girlfriends

They were put together on X-Factor by chance. They didn't even want to be in a band, they just got lucky. Its not like they've worked hard for years on end to perfect their music like many other bands. They just got damn lucky.

The only thing I like about them is that they are honestly adorable. But I hate that people think they're sooo good, heck, they even made a cover of Blondie's One Way or Another, and everyone was pretty mad about that.

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.
8 Miley Cyrus Miley Ray Hemsworth (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is Mezzo-Soprano and has 4 octaves. She became a teen idol starring as the character Miley Stewart in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana in 2006. After that Miley had numerous worldwide hits, such as ''Party in the USA'', '' We Can’t Stop'', and ''Wrecking Ball''. On December 23, 2018 she got married to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth, but they divorced shortly after.

She gets all that attention/fame ONLY because of the way she acts in her music videos, her live performances, the way she dresses, the half-naked Instagram pictures she postes etc. People never talk about her music because her music is truly horrible. I never thought of her as one of the best singers ever, she has a good voice for Disney standarts but as every single Disney singer/actress, her voice isn't capable of many things and not strong enough. However, some of her older songs used to really fit her voice and the "persona" she created. The Hannah Montana era was the best for her career, she had a way bigger fanbase and she was making music that actually fit her vocal range/style. She followed the path of every other child star.

Miley it is an idol of millions really the queen of teenagers, and it is teenagers future the whole world! The Olympic games should draw attention of children and who as not Miley can involve them. Russia votes for Miley Cyrus!

Miley Cyrus the tremendous singer and loves it for it all teenagers of the world it fair and talented. It is worthy to act on the Olympic games.

She looks like a bucktoothed hillbilly and can't even sing better than my cat hanging from its tail. 'Nuff said -___-

9 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.

Katy Perry was famous for being a Gospel singer but eventually she sang non Christian music.

How the hell did she become famous?

10 Lil Pump Gazzy Garcia (known professionally as Lil Pump, born August 17th, 2000) is an American rapper, producer and songwriter. Gazzy began his career in 2016 with a collaboration freestyle with Smokepurpp, which was eventually posted in Soundcloud to popular success. He broke out to mainstream the following year with an eponymous debut album and the hit single "Gucci Gang", which peaked at 3rd in the Billboard Hot 100 .

To be honest, he has some potential. But he does need a lot of work to make a good rap song.

Do I need to say anything? Really?

The Contenders
11 Lil Wayne Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was discovered by Brian "Baby" "Birdman" Williams at a very young age, and was signed to Cash Money Records, where he would be one quarter of the rap group Hot Boys. In the years to follow, he would go on to find his own label, Young Money, where he would sign popular artists such as Drake, Nicki Minaj and Tyga, and he... read more

Steps to do a tribute of Lil Wayne

1. Strung an out of tune guitar
2. Put the autotune and vocoder to the max
3. Laugh like a hyena
4. Talk and use a choking cat as a backing vocalist
5. Watch yourself lose fans eg. me

12 Selena Gomez Selena Marie Gomez is an American actress and singer. She is best known for songs like "Come & Get It", "Good For You", "Same Old Love", and "It Ain't Me". Selena Gomez's voice is mezzo-soprano but she usually sings in alto. She is best known for her role as Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place.

It's a disgrace to even associate her with music or artistry. She doesn't even sing, she just whispers.

13 Rebecca Black Rebecca Black is a YouTube personality and singer who's infamous for her 2011 single "Friday," which was the most disliked video on YouTube until "Baby" by Justin Bieber became the most disliked video in 2012. She has also released other songs, including "My Moment" and "Saturday".

She is famous for being a horrible singer and the problem is that she actually embraces that.

She doesn't write her own music & can't sing. Enough said

Only got famous because of enough likes on YouTube.

14 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

She may not have Adele's killer pipes but she worked hard for her fame. She has 6 breakup songs not a MILLION! SIX! And what's wrong if she has love songs she also has friendship songs, self-empowerment songs, crush songs, happy songs and Don't-listen-to-the-haters songs. She may not have an OVER THE TOP AMAZING voice, but she is special. No one can write songs like she can. She isn't an artist with bad or non-sense lyrics and her songs actually have deep meanings. People only listen to 3 songs and judge her on it! And what if she had many boyfriends? Every girl nowadays does. Please listen to story of us, 22, you belong with me, welcome to new york, I'm only me when I'm with you, teardrops on my guitar, wildest dreams, all too well, begin again, ours, mine, mean, (and more) and you see her incredible and great lyrics. She worked hard for her fame. And now she has many Top 10 singles and 2 music videos with 1Billion+ views. And to the person who said that she was unoriginal because she writes break-up songs, well then Katy Perry is unoriginal because she has 5 break-up songs just 1 less than Taylor has. And Taylor has 5 albums Katy has 3. So, Adele's songs are unoriginal because most of her songs are break-up songs (don't get me wrong, I love Adele). Please think It through...

15 Ke$ha Kesha Rose Sebert (formerly known as Ke$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

She's not that famous anymore. Besides, you can't really give her any crap anymore because obviously she has been through so much (working with a guy that was sexually assaulting her and never making the music she wanted to make).

Could you believe that her song, Tik Tok, has sold more copies than ANY Beatles single? What has society come to?

When someone thinks that he/she is so cool that they need to use the dollar sign in their name... They're lame.

16 Willow Smith Willow Camille Reign Smith, known professionally as Willow, is an American singer, actress and dancer.

It is so not fair that girl can't sing but no one said she was a singer but she can dance give her the props fire ball was a good song but she and jayden wouldn't be famous if it wasn't their parents fame surrounding them. Willow smith act to grown and her mother got her hair cut and she wear extensions I'm 1 year older than her and I can sing 100 better its not fair but she can dance

I can deal with JB, Kesha, Lady Gaga, Taylor, etc because they earned their way into this industry, so I have to respect them for that. But I can't stand when people buy their way into fame, do something really stupid to earn it, or get fame because of family members. Willow is famous because of her parents, and its annoying because lets be honest, her rapping is mediocre at best. Decent actually. But she does not deserve a recording contract just yet. When I say buy your way, I'm talking about people like Madison Beer and Paris Hilton, and by doing something stupid I mean macklemore and his bullshit song thrift shop, which is nowhere close to real rap or real music in general.
Sorry Willow, but if your parents werent famous, you would not be a rapper right now.

You can't say that Willow Smith doesn't deserve her fame, simply because she's not that famous. She's in number 7 above waaay more famous people than her like Nicki Minaj and Madison Beer and comparing to Madison Beer, Willow is a much better singer.

She really wouldn'ft be famous I agree she can't sing all she can do is dance hello willow you have to get your own fame do not expect your parents to be your claim to fame it takes yours not your parents

17 21 Savage Shayaa Bin Abraham-Joseph (born October 22, 1992), better known by his stage name 21 Savage, is an American rapper. He received attention for projects such as Free Guwop (2015) as well as Savage Mode (2016, with Metro Boomin) before going on to release his debut album, Issa Album (2017). He is best ...read more.
18 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.

She used to get more attention, after 2011 that attention stopped and if you think about it, it makes sense because her songs lost their originality completely. Born this way is still her best song to this day because it's an anthem to being different and proud of who you are no matter what people say and that used to be Gaga's brand for a long time, that's why she used to wear these crazy outfits, to show how important it is to stand out in a crowd. Nowadays, she's not being talked about and people don't even rank her with the best pop stars anymore.

Lady gaga is alright but she doesn't deserve the amount of fame she has recieved. But why the hell is beyonce on this list, beyonce works really hard and deserves all the fame she gets because she works for it, plus beyonce has never used the press to boost her fame with drug andd sex scandals which means that she deserves her fame even more.

As soon as her music is her primary focus, she may eventually deserve credit. You can tell she is only in it for the money though because why else would you dress in those outfits? Does it add to your music? No.

Her music used to be so good, she used to put effort into her music and now all she cares about is how she's going to be as controversial as possible.

19 Lil Uzi Vert Symere Woods, better known by his stage name Lil Uzi Vert, is an American hip hop recording artist and songwriter.
20 Cheryl Cole Cheryl Ann Tweedy (formerly Cheryl Cole, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini) known as Cheryl is an English singer, dancer, and television personality. She rose to fame in late 2002 as a member of girl group Girls Aloud on ITV's Popstars: The Rivals, and stayed with the group until they split up in 2013.

You know what pisses me the hell off? Cheryl Cole. I am sick of hearing about this idiot. People say she is an inspiration, inspiration for what? She has no talent and she can't sing live and uses auto-tune!

Doesn't deserve fame

21 Carrie Underwood Carrie Marie Underwood is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She rose to fame as the winner of the fourth season of American Idol, in 2005. Her debut album, Some Hearts, was released in 2005.

At least she doesn't have a hit song in New Zealand. We know what good music is, unlike the USA.

22 Robin Thicke Robin Alan Thicke (born March 10, 1977) is an American singer, songwriter and record producer. Thicke has worked with numerous artists.

He a damn one hit wonder

23 Beyonce Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, is an American singer and actress, who started out in the popular pop/r&b girl group Destiny's Child. They had multiple top 5 hits such as "No, No, No", "Say My Name", "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Survivor", "Independent Women", "Bootylicious", and "Jumpin', Jumpin" from 1999 to 2004. After they broke up in 2006, Beyonce pursued her solo career, creating smash hits such as "Crazy In Love", "Single Ladies", "Halo", "Partition", "Irreplaceable", "Drunk In Love", "Baby Boy", "Beautiful Liar", "7/11", and "Run The World (Girls)", and has since become one of the most influential performers and biggest celebrities of the 21st century.

I disagree. I think Beyonce is one of the few people in this industry that gets exactly the fame that she deserves. She is hardworking, she is a dancer, she has killer vocals, she does charity, she's overall an ARTIST, not just a singer.

She can sing and is a good performer but she doesn't write, produce or play any of her songs. a musical artist is just that an artist not just a singer.

Beyonce is a great singer and a talented dancer.

I hate this type of music

24 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. She has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including two Grammy ...read more.

She is stupid, talent-less, her fans are stupid young girls that only like her for her looks and her voice sound like a dying cat.

25 Jonas Brothers The Jonas Brothers are an American pop rock band. Formed in 2005, they gained popularity from their appearances on the Disney Channel television network.

They are not together any more, and they were so lame with cliche music

They were still better than One Direction back in the day though.
