For example, the Jonas Brothers are under-rated. Not for their success in America but in the UK - yes. And the fact not a lot of people know they write like 95% of their stuff.
Whereas an act like Girls Aloud ( ) are under-rated in other countries because they are not popular there.
And for example a good singer may have an amazing voice but doesn't have good material. Doesn't that make them under-rated too?

Your twisting a popularity alone standpoint their on being underated though. Whats not to say the whole of America could hear Girls Aloud tommorow morning, but find them utterly shit? Just because nobody has heard of you does not automaticaly entitle you to the right of being underated.

Underrated; not rated enough; if the whole of America heard Girls Aloud tomorrow morning and found them really bad then they'd just be badly rated; I think the term 'underrated' is quite vague.
Are we meaning 'an artist who is not recognised in the main-stream' or 'an artist who is recognised in the mainstream but is often overshadowed by others'?
