Harry, Beyoncé and Olivia 

Taylor and Adele.

 

The earlier has some great moments artistry wise especially her most recent 2 albums. But her songwriting is not the be all end all of lyricism that many fans make it seem. I prefer other songwriters by MILES, while I still appreciate Taylor for the beautiful meaningful songs she has created.

 

The latter is very boring and repetitive, not much artistry-- very overrated in acclaim.

Madonna & Lana. 

Adele

Grimes

Ethel Cain

Lana Del Rey

Harry

Dua Lipa

Tove Lo

I kind of feel that there aren't many who are legitimately overrated, as the collective perception of an artist as a grouping of subjective opinions is kind of hard to negate.

 

A common answer is here Harry which...okay...I guess? But what is he rated anyway? He's not generally regarded as a musical genius or a one-of-a-kind artist so as to make his actual output/artistry seem "overrated". He's just a bit of an it-boy, and currently VERY popular. Considering he hasn't really had a solo or group song that even stands out as a modern classic (imo), I don't see how naming him as overrated has very much basis.

 

Rolling Stone listed his basic ass album in their Top 500 All-Time list 

Gaga, Adele, Kanye, Beyoncé, Taylor, Kendrick, Lorde, Azealia.

Lorde and Taylor. 

Lana. I have a couple of her albums, but she really only has one mode.

Harry Styles

Olivia

Adele too but in a way that she's constantly praised, it's just very recently (after the Vegas fiasco) she started getting dragged (people switching on 30 for example)

Lana post NFR

Taylor and Adele need to be removed from this narrative 

 

 

they are acclaimed for a reason

Olivia, Harry, Dua - the trinity of pop review inflation

Harry, Taylor, Xtina

Harry, Beyonce, Adele

okay well that is a problem lol, but I don't put much value in their list though... they've frequently undermined the talent/success of female artists. Their 100 Greatest Artists of All-Time list only has 8 women on it, for example, and was last updated in 2011.

Taylor Swift immediately comes to mind.

People saying Janet, Beyonce, and Lana with Dua Lipa and Camila Cabello avis. K.

Taylor

 Gaga

Billie 

Taylor pre-Folklore. I've yet to understand where the so-called excellent songwriting is

Y’all admitting white mediocrity strongly exists.

In comparison to how much acclaim they get?:

Grimes

Tame Impala

Angel Olsen

St. Vincent

James Blake.

Mariah and Adele
