Lady GaGa 'Most Overrated' artist of 2011

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

... (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a356284/lady-gaga-named-most-overrated-act-in-billboards-year-in-music-poll.html)

i agree completely http://i.imgur.com/L3Wsm.gif

[MeMyselfAndI]

I agree too, the public have spoken

[Maia]

I also agree completely

[Ramsay]

I also agree

[Niall]

I (predictably) don't agree.

[Jordan.]

Has she done well enough to be overrated?

[Samuel.]

Disagree. I admire her for at least trying to be creative, and capable of writing her own stuff. Same can't be said for most mainstream artists.

[Princess]

Argeed! Can she go away now?

[Shaun]

eh, her album got a pretty mixed critical reception and she hasn't been commercially on top, so I wouldn't say she was overrated. Not many people take her seriously anyway. And as Samuel said, at least she writes her music.

I'd say Jessie J was.

[Bollo]

Who?

[Niall]

I'd say Jessie J was.

I thought so too.

She was so hyped up and her album was a complete let down. :/

[Callum]

I disagree. I think there are much more overrated singers than her like Rihanna and Jessie J.

[Ninastar]

I disagree. I think there are much more overrated singers than her like Rihanna and Jessie J.

This

I don't know how people can say she's overrated when she has done everything herself. People think she's overrated because she's always talked about fashion wise, not music wise

[Shaun]

let's not get ahead of ourselves, she doesn't do everything herself, she has about 20 producers :hmph:

[Ramsay]

Alot of people never shut up about her and make her out to be the greatest thing to happen to music
So in that sense she is overated

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

its not like she is overrated by everybody but those horrid 'little monster' creatures or whatever they are called act like the sun shines out of her arse and i hope the president authorizes a mass culling of them very soon

[Ninastar]

let's not get ahead of ourselves, she doesn't do everything herself, she has about 20 producers :hmph:

yeah but you know what I mean, she's done a lot more than most of the artists out there

[Harry!]

All I can say is Lady Who? Exactly my point. Born This Way whilst a good (IKR) album it never lived up to it's expectations and the singles did not perform as well as expected. Don't get me started on the visuals...

-by the way I simply love Who You Are one of my best of 2011-

[Smithy]

let's not get ahead of ourselves, she doesn't do everything herself, she has about 20 producers :hmph:

4 recurring Producers :hmph: and she co produced the whole album :hmph:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_This_Way#Track_listing




BTW, the whole article was fan voted, it has about as much credibility as Matt Cardle :idc:

[Doogle]

Jessie J is more overrated. GaGa may have had a ton of hype surrounding Born This Way but the amount of times I've heard someone say "Jessie J" this year is sickening.

[Tom]

At least Jessie J doesn't rely on gimmicks to keep herself in the public eye

Lady Gaga is basically Eurodance with a big budget

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

are people seriously comparing gaga to jessie j

gaga is overrated but she is amazing :nono:

jessie j is ****

[InOne]

I'd say more prententious than overrated

[Glenn.]

I agree. Although I do like the majority of her songs,(well pretty much every song she releases), I think she needs to tone her entire image and OTT persona WAY DOWN.

Its so old its predictable.

[Doogle]

IMO GaGa has toned it down lately. But everyone just moans that she's lost her flare or some ****.

[Glenn.]

I would love to see a stripped back Gaga out and bout.

Like she could turn up to an awards show, wearing a slender, normal dress, not a dress made of meat.

And the egg? Don't even get me started :bored:

How is that not stripped back :nono:

The Hagrid sized bow on her head?

The Hagrid sized bow on her head?

:joker::joker:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

wtf is that D:

who is that mess with her

[Smithy]

I posted the wrong vid wait a sec :hmph:

[Glenn.]

:bored:

[Smithy]

there :hmph:

[Glenn.]

She needs to be more like that in her videos.

It gets tiresome same old thing all the time. Crazy OTT outfits, even more crazier 'storylines' :bored:

I started watching the Marry The Night video and give up after ten minutes.

[Smithy]

She did that in TEoG and everyone said it was boring :hmph:

What even

[Visage]

If being overrated in 2011 earns you $90 million, then I would jump (& dance) at the chance.:D

[joeysteele]

I have come to really like Lady Ga Ga now, her songs are really good when you listen to them, for me she is far from overrated.She clearly has a lot of talent as to performing singing and writing too.
So I would personally strongly disagree that she was overrated.

[Niall]

IMO GaGa has toned it down lately. But everyone just moans that she's lost her flare or some ****.

This. Whenever she cuts back people start whining that she's just being boring. :bored:

[Lee.]

I don't think she's overrated at all! She writes her own songs, choreographs her own shows and designs her own stage sets when touring, and she releases one hot after the other. She's got more talent in her little finger than most current pop stars.

I am currently listening to Rihanna's Rude Boy.. its garbage, she has an awful voice, its not catchy, its repetitive and just ****ing irritating!

I have to admit, there aren't a lot of female posters that I actually like, but to me GaGa is just amazing! It may not be "cool" to like her, but I don't give a toss actually. I'm going to go see her next year and I'm going to get right up the front and sing and dance and point and scream. :)

[Z]

At least Jessie J doesn't rely on gimmicks to keep herself in the public eye

Lady Gaga is basically Eurodance with a big budget

Are you serious about Jessie J not relying on gimmicks? Are we talking about the same Jessie J?!


Lady GaGa's only considered overrated because of her fans being all up in your face about how good she is - if they weren't so manic, people would agree and she'd get nowhere near as much stick as she does now.

[Lee.]

And yeah Jessie J is very overrated! Idont know what song of hers I was listening to earlier, but I had to switch it off as her voice was grating on me so much! I swear I can ding better than her!

[Locke.]

I would still quite like her if it wasn't for Smithy and the gang

[Lee.]

I would still quite like her if it wasn't for Smithy and the gang
That's daft... you either like her or you don't!

[Locke.]

That's daft... you either like her or you don't!

Be quiet and get back to the kitchen

I'm in the kitchen now making you some muffins...

[MTVN]

I'm not sure if she's overrated, but I do think she was overhyped this year

[Smithy]

Overhyped yes. Over rated no

Overrated implies she gets too much credit for the stuff she does

[MeMyselfAndI]

If this forum didn't throw her in your face I'd be a reasonably big fan, I have both her albums. Because of the Grots though I've ended up disliking her & finding her music ok...

[Smithy]

If this forum didn't throw her in your face

-Petitions to change the site to ThisIsLadyGaGa.com-

[MeMyselfAndI]

They'd just be you, Niall, Ninastar, Firewire and Doogle left on the forum

[fruit_cake]

I like her

[Lee.]

Oh my his Fruity is that chap in your avatar him from G4? :amazed:

I swear I wad going to add him to the Weird Crush thread!

[Saph]

She's a little overrated by fans but definitely not the 'most overrated of 2011'

I think Rhianna is one of the most overrated and generic artists, and of course Katy Perry..

The only reason Gaga hasnt had alot of chart success in the UK is because all her fans have brought her album so didnt need to buy the single's ...thats how we end up with Dappy and One Direction at number one each week D;

[Harry!]

I would just love to see her release a ballad as the lead single for an album. Not a dance-ballad, not relying on any gimics, just her. Then I would take her a little bit more seriously.

[Jords]

Gaga isnt overrated, she has bags of talent, is a keen business woman with her marketing and shows so much passion and respect towards her fans.

She is just suffering from over-exposure and over-hype. It makes me lose interest in her.

[fruit_cake]

I agree Katy Perry and Rihanna are a lot worse. But Katy Perry is fit so I'll let her off.

[Lee.]

Jonathon Ansell :lovedup:

:lovedup: Haha... I thought I was probably the only person on earth who liked him!

[fruit_cake]

:lovedup: Haha... I thought I was probably the only person on earth who liked him!

[fruit_cake]

I like Lady GaGa because she's taken a lot of nasty press and stuff but just shrugs it off and keeps going. She's also very creative and her songs are actually good imo

[MTVN]

I think if you.. present yourself the way Gaga does than some negative press is kinda inevitable, I do like her music but she hasn't had a really good song since Bad Romance for me

[Tom]

Are you serious about Jessie J not relying on gimmicks? Are we talking about the same Jessie J?!

What gimmicks does Jessie J do? I don't recall her turning up to any awards ceremonies in a giant egg or meat dress lately. Bit of an eccentric dress style at times but thats about the extent of it

[Doogle]

but it'd mean you'd have left, so it's all good :')

:worship:

ThisIsLadyGaga.com ftw.

[Marsh.]

I'd have put Britney Spears way ahead of her on that score.

I agree Lady Gaga might be overrated to some degree but at least she actually has a talent and writes her own material.

Robot Spears can't sing, dance or make her own music. She's a million miles away from when she was good and yet her fans scream as though she puts on the best show on earth. Her shows are all the work of backing dancers, giant screens and blasted backing tracks which overshadow Britney, who looks like a 12 year old messing about in her bedroom.

[Glenn.]

I agree :thumbs:

[Smithy]

She's two albums into her career, give her a chance :idc:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

none of this would have happened if she had released speechless and hair as singles

[Livia]

There's loads of early GaGa stuff on the Internet. My mate lives in New York and saw her play at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village, where my mate herself has played a few times. Just because I am not a fan of someone I wouldn't suggest they are overrated. We all like different stuff.

I would say that Britney has been a little underrated this year. She has had excellent videos and singles and her album was great. I attended the Femme Fatale tour and although quite dance based, some moments were "live" and she put on a great show. She also performed a few ballads including the beautiful Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know which was stunning. It was a brilliant concert.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not slagging it off for being dance based. Back in the day, that was Britney's ultimate strong point. She was one of the best performers ever but having a dance oriented show for a woman who seems to have not only lost her star quality but lost all skill to do even the most basic moves in favour of hair flipping and arse shaking is ridiculous.

Like I said she still puts on shows that are along the lines of her early years but she herself is no longer capable of pulling them off. She comes across like a 12 year old in her bedroom amongst all the professionals.

I don't know whether she's still "not right" and not back to herself or whether she can't be bothered anymore. If it's the latter then she should be ashamed given how much she charges for tickets.

[kisywisy]

i don't agree!!! i wasn't really a fan before, as i thought she was trying to be madonna, but i am now in love with her. it's real love. <3 i'm gaga4GaGa <3

she's the first artist i think could be as big (if not bigger) than MJ - in my opinion

[Niamh.]

The whole image thing and weird costumes are annoying but I respect the fact that she writes her own songs and is an actual musician, I do like some of her songs, especially You and me

I like her song 'Alejandro' that's a really good one imo

[Smithy]

oh i thought it said a fan of /fail

MJ was and still is bigger than each of them. combined they still don't come close to him

[Shaun]

according to who? :crazy: you?

[kisywisy]

according to who? :crazy: you?

Well... Yes. Which is why I stated 'in my opinion' in my first post.

The beatles are not bigger than him, neither is madonna or elvis. I'm not saying they aren't/weren't big, but not in the same league as him. I'm not just talking about the quality of their music, it's the brand as a whole.

[Marsh.]

You think Michael Jackson was considerably bigger than The Beatles?

Michael Jackson advanced his genre of music and took it to a new place, but The Beatles were pioneers when it came to the sound they produced.

[Lee.]

Watch A Very GaGa Holiday... no gimmicks, just her and her talent.

[bbfan1991]

IMO GaGa has toned it down lately. But everyone just moans that she's lost her flare or some ****.

I agree with this. In fact I think this year has been quiet for Gaga, she's been busy with the tour etc although as a big artist hype is something that will always be there to really get the fans psyched up..

[Stu]

She's basically got 30 Seconds To Mars syndrome now. That's the problem. Whacky costumes and bizarre music videos are fine, I like that, it's when now it's got some B.S. meaning and your fans have their own tag and some B.S. purpose and all that jazz that's what's been her downfall this year.

At least Rihanna is just wank material that doesn't sound offensive when your coming up on Ecstasy.

[lily.]

eh, her album got a pretty mixed critical reception and she hasn't been commercially on top, so i wouldn't say she was overrated. Not many people take her seriously anyway. And as samuel said, at least she writes her music.

i'd say jessie j was.

Re Shaun's comment about people not taking her seriously; why not? I really don't understand how its become pretty "uncool" to like GaGa. I can understand people not taking the likes of Katy Perry or One Direction ad they are just manufactured pop pish, but GaGa can sing, dance, write, produce, play an instrument, choreograph an entire show and design. She's creative, sassy, sexy and delightfully bonkers! What's not to like?

[Stu]

What on earth has the fact that she writes and performs her own material got to do with anything? Coldplay do that and I'd still rather wade around in Danny Dyer's piss than listen to them.

Why should you respect and take someone seriously just because they - hold the fort, Sarge - actually make their own music?!

I think she's become almost a parody of herself, she seems to just act up to this whole weird persona she's created and just tries to go for the shock factor as much as possible. Like back when she did Just Dance it was a pretty standard video, then only a few years later she's naked on the side of the bath stuffing her face in cheerios and smearing them all over her and trying to make out there's some deep meaning behind that :crazy:

[Smithy]

Thats coz that actually happened irl tho

Because there's so much utter shi te churned out these days by people who can barely sing let alone create music themselves. I'm not saying everybody should automatically like Coldplay; everybody has different tastes, but I personally have more respect for anybody who can actually make music/write lyrics/whatever over some manufactured pop band.

She might do all that, but the irony is shes still manufactured and contrieved. Shes not sexy either :crazy:

But that is not a studio album, just a Christmas Gift for her fans.

She looks fittest in Just Dance

She looks fine then aswell,but Pokerface was sexy at its highest for GaGa imo.

She looked great at first in Just Dance, Poker Face, and whatever else she released off her first album. Then she got all weird :bored:

I don't get when people say she got more weird. She wore stupid things in Paparazzi and she humps an inflatable whale in the Just Dance video.
