Ellie Goulding or whatever shes called.

Her song Stary eyed is **** and she dances like a complete fail in it.

[LemonJam]

Gaga, Florence and the Machine, Dizzee Rascal. I can respect them all as artists, but I don't see why everyone thinks they're the next best things.

LMAO. So true.

I don't get the hype around U2, R.E.M, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Gorillaz, Michael Buble or Glee.

Only overrated on this board, not in the charts because she tanked and sold something like 600 in her first week ... Heidi Montang or whatever shes called

[MrGaryy]

Oooh interesting. I like that picture, looks like something from a comic crossed with some of H.R. Giger's work.

I got like sort of a Gorillaz vibe myself, she's said there are Japanese influences on the album, a song called Kimono Girl and the font is quite oriental which sort of ties in with their anime style.

I think I'll give her album a listen to. I hope it will be something very different. I read that she's collaborated with a ton of artists for her new album, so I think it's got potential to be quite an interesting record.

[Tom]

yeah she's worked with some fantastic people, M.I.A, Goldfrapp, Santigold, Le Tigre, Linda Perry, Ladytron, ect. as well as like some of the hot producers atm like Tricky Stewart [Single Ladies, Umbrella] and Claude Kelly [Britney, Kelly Clarkson] so it should be a really good mix.

[MrGaryy]

Then her music is overrated.

again, I really don't see how it is. There's a difference between popular and highly rated, Cheryl Cole, Britney and JLS are very popular but they nor their music is rated very highly.

Her fans enjoy her music but they know it's just fluff really.

How are Calvin and N Dubz over rated?


N-Dubz are hardly over rated, if anything they are under rated so many people dislike them unless they around 13-15.

They have so much unesseccary hate for them, they are hardly hyped in the slightest they work hard to get were they are and dont need the hype that little girls bring like Justin Bieber has or JLS.


Calvin Harris is hardly over rated either, he is amazing and alot of people like his tunes but hes not exactally Massively Hyped is he?

His Songs deserve more attention, alot of people didnt even know who he was until he jumped on stage during X Factor.

[Patrick]

If as you say, if she is still around in 20 years.

Yeah, i know loads of people that are crazy for him.

Yes, but on the whole, he is not 'hyped up' at all.

cant stand him, or his music.

[Smithy]

If GaGa in around in 20 years,then fine she deserves the hype but's been like a year and a bit,people act like she's the queen of pop or something.

tbh, she's the new queen of pop, shes sold over 10,000,000 albums in a year and more the 35,000,000 singles :hugesmile:
Her tour's are amazing and she deserves all the recognition she deserves.

[xDramatick]

If GaGa in around in 20 years,then fine she deserves the hype but's been like a year and a bit,people act like she's the queen of pop or something.

She's achieved more in a year and a half than most pop artists do in 5. Hell, she's probably had more success than any of the current artists in the charts will have achieved in 20.

I definitely think she's around to stay (unless she dies)

[Smithy]

Yes people seem so obsessed with idiots like 50 Cent and Dizzie Rascal and even bigger knobs like Tinchy Stryder.

N-Dubz dont rap that much, Tulisa hardly raps.. Fazer always raps but its good rap and not 'Mother ****a yeah bitch shot ma homies' like all that bollocks.

Their songs have a meaning to it unlike alot of other artists.

Whats not to like about Calvin?
The man is a legend, he seems like a really nice lad that you could have a laugh with.

I would love to meet these Calvin fans you know, I got insulted the other day for listening to 'You use to hold me' because people hate him.

LOL I was thinking the exact same, I didnt want to say it though incase Harry came in here and threw one at me but seeing as you said it then 'cha okay.

oh annd justin bieber is soo da king of pop dont cha no x

I agree, and I used to absolutely despise her. She's just not stopped working to get where she is, she deserves a break; but unlike most other acts who find success with their first album, she hasn't taken that break immediately, she's kept touring, written a second album and continued to crank out the hits. Now she could take a break, come back and people will remember her and welcome her back; whereas the likes of (on a lesser scale) Kate Nash or The Ting Tings who were both massively hyped a couple of years ago are going to have to claw their way to fame all over again.

[xDramatick]

:shocked: Dont say that, If she dies now im totally gonna blame you :bawling:

LOL.
It's highly unlikely, but I was talking to my bf about her and he reckons she's the type of celeb to have a premature high profile death. ;/

Record sales have NOTHING to do with anything. Urgh I'm so in the mood to agrue with feck loads of GaGa fans,like her if you want.

Although that's probably aimed at Smithy, I just wanted to add that when I said success, I was referring to the full package, not just the sales..

When she dies I bet there will be like a massive funeral and stuff for her.

Especially if shes around for a long time, it will be like MJ's Funeral if she is around for like 20 years.

[Harry!]

Lady Gaga wont be the Queen of Pop. True facts. M will always be the queen and as she said on the VMA's MJ will be the King. Long live the queen and king.

And Smithy if your in a mood for figures M's first album sold 15,000,000 world wide.

[Smithy]

LOL.

Oh, I know, I will start with Stacey - a Jedward fan - criticizing the principal behind rap vocals.

Yeah. That sounds good.

I would love to meet these Calvin fans you know, I got insulted the other day for listening to 'You use to hold me' because people hate him.

he ran on stage on the x factor, could have totally ****ed up Jedward performance. :bored:
He wanted the all attention drawn to himself.

[Patrick]

whereas the likes of (on a lesser scale) Kate Nash or The Ting Tings who were both massively hyped a couple of years ago are going to have to claw their way to fame all over again.

OMG I remember hating the Ting Tings for ages and then really got into that song 'Thats not my name'


Oh the memories of watching T4 On the beach of Summer 2008 :lovedup: Lol

I miss The Ting Tings tbh.

[Smithy]

And Smithy if your in a mood for figures M's first album sold 15,000,000 world wide.

Well Madonna was in a time when illegal downloading wasnt readily available, at this time, its rife, the amount of people who have illegaly dowloaded it will have surpassed the 5 million mark and taking that into account will have passed the 15 mill mark :)

Put up your best defence, then. Why are they overrated?

Therefore nothing. That's not an argument. It's an unprecedented catastrophe of human understanding. A meaningless stroke of ignorance paint on the canvas of life. A logic defying leap of ineptitude into the cold, deep, dark chasm of failing at life. A culturally depraved trumpet blast for all the other faliures who are wasting my oxygen.

People just think Im 'stupid' or whatever, because i like Jedward.
well, there must be a whole lot of stupid people then. :hugesmile:

[Smithy]

Find that hard to belive Smithy for one reason..
it's my favorite song they're gonna play and I cannot text you with a drink in my hand, eh!

She put it down specially for me, and I left her speechless :D

:nono:
you cant use there singing ability when u just stuck up for the beatles over leona:joker:
hypocrite

The Beatles could sing, perfectly in tune.
Jedward, can't.

No, it's not all about singing ability, but point is Jedward barely can :/

Jesus ****ing Christ this is just appalling.

what the hell?

No, it's because you are criticizing a perceived lack of vocal talent in rap when your favourite act also posess no vocal ability whatsoever.

It's really rather simple, really.

Oh screw it. Maybe you are stupid.

[Smithy]

What's funny? Oh please, please don't tell me you actually believe that vocal ability is the be all and end all of music?

Well tbh yes, i do. Some people like mark rudson just leech off of the fame of others without much talent.
The same for tinchy strider imo, he cant sing, he just talks and sells records, whats to stop me doing that?

[Patrick]

LOL

Dont you all just love when us TiBB Music Lovers get together and argue upon ourselfs over Music :lovedup:

[MeMyselfAndI]

You have a lot to learn about music if you think it's about all singing. What about writing music,producing it,playing instruments?

she write 7 songs and she went to school of music and arts so she plays music too

I don't think there's a GIF anywhere that can sum up my feelings right now.

Anyway, I wasn't really talking about rapping. You were insinuating that because Calvin Harris doesn't have the best vocal talents in the world, he's a **** artist. Absolute crap. He writes and produces his own music, as well as DJ'ing, which is not easy. In terms of musical talent he is far superior to the likes of Leona ****ing Lewis.

Often equally hopeless. Like - the number of people here who will just go day by day without exploring music and just willingly digesting whatever BBC Radio 1 or The X Factor dictates is rather sad. Music is an art form. It's supposed to be explored and enjoyed in a creative way - the majority of it is created for a reason that isn't to make money - it's to explore emotion, to tackle real-life issues, to declare love, to get a massive point off your chest.
I'm more than not criticising the state of music today when actually it's probably quite brilliant, but as usual the best and most exciting acts are sidelined for the more commercial acts and from the looks of things that works.
The only thing that really keeps me going and posting on this site is the fact that the majority of these absolutely braindead nodders are under the age of 15 and around that age I was pretty much the same. With exposure to older and alternative styles that thankfully changed - there was a time when I did say I hated the Beatles, because it seemed like the rebellious or funny thing to say. Only when you've actually listened to the variety and volume of their work - from the imaginative, delirious highness of I Am The Walrus to your standard anthem like Hey Jude - can you actually have a leg to stand on.

No you didn't.

No you didn't. :shocked:

And I couldn't agree more with what you say. Music is another word for "emotion", "revolution" etc.... Today's music ain't that bad. But the best is definitely not what has been sold the most. Definitely not.

Whilst I agree with you, Shaun, in fairness, Radio 1 is far more varied than the likes of Galaxy FM, which is what the majority of people I know listen to.

It depends on your take of music. If you do find it cultural or whatever then your post applies. But what you don't seem to get is not everyone is into that side of music. Some people just enjoy listening to what is good and have no desire to go beyond that. A lot of us don't define our lives by music.

oh it really isn't unless you listen to it at a stupid hour like 4am on a Thursday or whatever.
It's mostly just overpaid and undercharismatic non-entities playing stupid games in their offices inbetween playing what's been shortlisted for them so as to appease this kind of sycophantic bull**** that's engulfed the media today. "Oh hiyer I'm Cheryl Cole I'm off that there X Factor I have a new albuuuum - ignore the fact it's reet ****e would ya and give it a go?"

No matter what kind of music listner you are, surely everyone benefits from finding great new music? I mean, even if you are just casually into it?

It's a question of cultural positioning too, and self respect. Do you really just want to stand still with your eyes closed and let the world choose what it wants to come to you?

That's why last week you said Leona was the best because her album was in the top 3 of the most sold of the decade ? Contradiction much ?
And if we're on about the voice, I can find you a hundred singers that have a much better voice than her. Most of the tenors for example. But then you said Opera was boring. The day Leona will provide something similar to what a tenor can do, then I'll suck on her toes forever.

Agree'd, im really not that into music.
I don't need to listen to other people that havent been promoted into the charts because i have perfectly good songs to listen to.

spirit was amazing and everyone loved it it sold more than everything that year including rihanna good girl gone bad

Echo didnt do aswell as her company picked a bad 1st single if they would of picked a better one it would of atleast sold 6million but 2million isnt too bad considering shakira sold less than 1million and shes awesome and she performed on xfactor and only got number 35

Whilst again, that's all true, it's a lot more varied than the ****e that the Galaxy playlist offers. That's my point. I'm not saying Radio 1 is the most varied source of music in the world, because it isn't. But it's a lot more varied than the absolutely absurd mess of a commercial radio station that is Galaxy FM.

Self respect is only applicable to music snobs, which the majority of people aren't.

Some people just can't be bothered to find new music, some people have no desire to. Its that simple. If I put the music channel on and hear something I like then theres nothing I can do about it. I don't care if its being spoon fed, its accessible without effort. I'm not big on music anyway, only listen to music channels every now and again, the radio in the car and when I'm out in clubs. I rarely put on what I want to listen to. There are loads of people like that, so whats the point in looking for more music?

[Tom]

But I don't choose what I listen to- most of my music comes from music channels or radio. I don't download much, I don't play my iTunes much etc, heck I don't even own an iPod, so to me its a pointless exercise because to me music isn't an art that I define my life by, its just something to pass a small amount of time with.

I used to bother when I was 16/17/18 and still listen to a lot of that music if I do decide to play my own, but generally these days what I listen to is heavily promoted. Times change, and that interest faded for me. Although the irony is a lot of those bands have now had small mainstream success (Pigeon Detectives etc)

Both sides of the argument here are being absolutely ridiculous.

Most people listen to what is provided for them, myself included. Get off the musical high horse; popular music is popular because it's popular - stop trying to change people's minds, it won't happen, and you're just going to get angrier at other people on here.

On the other hand, some of the people in this thread just listing music they don't like because it's 'old' or are bigging up a talent show PRODUCT - your views are wrong. They might not seem wrong to you, not right now, but in a few years time, you'll realise you were being a bit stupid when you said these things.

Conclusion: popular music is popular for a reason; you will not convince the majority into searching for some individual masterclass that nobody's ever heard of before.

Conclusion: popular music is popular for a reason; you will not convince the majority into searching for some individual masterclass that nobody's ever heard of before.
Jesus christ, hyperbole, much? You make it seem like climbing everest. Listening to any artist outside the very limited scope of what record execs have choosen as the flavour of the year is not 'searching for some individual masterclass'.

Oh. That would really hurt Greg if I was just as committed to taking it personally as you are to sticking fingers in your ears.

Excuse me whilst I go and be superior and dismiss everyone because I've actually bothered to put a creative input into the art I admire.

[Stu]

Stop listening to The Kills you monster. They are not in the charts!

Seig Heil!

...about four people on here like them, and they're not exactly huge over here. don't see how you can call how you can call them hyped up.
anyway they write most of their own stuff and are great live so it's not like they're completely ****.

also anyone who thinks that vocal ability is the be-all and end-all of music needs to think again. you all know how much i adore 30 Seconds To Mars and i don't think jared has the ~best voice evurrrrrr!!1111!!. yes, he's a brilliant singer obviously but if you listen to the drums in vox populi or the instruments in L 490, they're incredible.

[xDramatick]

just cus people are bored of old music :bored:
everyone has moved on

so if Leona's washed up in 20 years time, which there's a bloody good chance she will be, you'll stop listening to her because she's 'old'?

Shaun is not a music snob because he seeks new artists. Not only is that riddiculous, it's reverse snobbery of the highest order. So if you don't sit like a gormless ape and suck in what is beamed to you your a music snob?

Get out of town :joker:.

Shaun's not a music snob because he seeks out new artists, he's being a music snob because he's getting angry at people for following the mainstream. The mainstream is the mainstream, popular is popular, you can't change these things by getting angry at people. On the contrary, I respect Shaun for having such a wide range in musical taste :).

I can indeed back that up: popular is popular. You're arguing with, for the most part, teenagers on a forum about popular, trashy culture - you're fighting a losing battle.

For you, arguing with people on here, yes it is like climbing Everest. I don't see why this is such a big issue: surely you expected these kinds of responses?

I'm not even going to try and make you see my point Shaun, you're doing exactly what you just accused me of doing. If you want to hear praise for people who deserve it, don't come looking for it on here, I would have thought you of all people would be aware of that.

Then you're aware that you're not listening to your music, you're listening to what has been dictated to you by an extremely shallow industry.

If it has a tune and someone singing/rapping over it, its music.

Music is much more accessible nowadays than it was in the late 80s and early 90s when I started buying records...Yes, records. I’m talking about before CDs were widely available.

I used to get my music in an independent record shop in town, and it was mainly vinyl up until the early 90s. The guy who ran the shop had a vast knowledge of music, and would recommend new bands/artists. I also bought music magazines, and found out about new artists there.

Most of my friends did the same. We listened to some of the popular, mainstream music, but most of our records were by artists you’d never hear on TV or mainstream radio.

My family didn’t have satellite TV, the internet wasn’t invented, and access to music was limited to... the stuff you or your friends bought, the stuff you got to preview in the record shop or tapes you bought after a gig.

So for that reason, I seek out new music. I look for bands/artists online all the time. To be honest, it amazes me that a lot of young people nowadays don’t do that. I think it’s such a wasted opportunity when everyone has access to the internet with massive potential to find new stuff, yet so many people are not willing to look.

Maybe if some of you had grown up at the same time as me, and had to go to extreme lengths to get access to unsigned/obscure bands, you’d appreciate how easy it is now.

And if that makes me sound like an old music snob, then so be it.

Some of the others in this thread could learn something from you Emily. :)


Nate.. why the shocked face?

[Tom]

But you have to have an active interest in music to do that. Some of us don't and are happy with whats in the charts etc. Whilst it might be an alien concept to some, music is not the same to everyone so I think its best to leave people be and listen to whatever they want to. I don't see whats so problematic about that.

I agree. I can completely understand the frustration at some of the responses in here, but not everyone treats music with as great an importance as the likes of Shaun or Stu do; there's no point in getting frustrated at everyone who prefers to listen what's set out for them - if I didn't like it, I would look for things elsewhere, which I've done before, not all of my music is mainstream stuff, but the vast majority of it is. I don't have a problem with that, so I don't see why anyone else should.
