Name your lame duck artist........

What artist do you put above all others in terms of lack of talent but somehow has achieved success?

For me Madonna has to be the queen of mediocrity (mediocre being a compliment in this case) - can't sing or act and what's with the fake english accent after living there a whole two years.
And don't get me going with all these new female jazz "singers" with that vomit inducing vibratoless whisper that seems to have become mandatory in that genre today......Jones clones.

I guess I would personally throw Kid Rock on my list of no talent ass clowns. I did hear he can actually play an instrument (not sure which one), but that doesn't make him a musician. I played the trumpet in the school orchestra 30 years ago and I've never claimed to be a musician.

Darkmoebius, I couldn't agree more. Limp Bizkit's gotta be playing clubs with two dollar covers by now. I haven't even heard the name in 10 years. I've got to give them credit though, they know how stupid the general public is. I think the target market is the 'can't understand morning talk show' segment. I hate the fact that so many talentless people can actually pass themselves off as musicians in some way or another. I blame it on a lack of music education and trailer parks.

Thomastrouble. Isn't it funny a fat little makeup wearing pansy can make money with a routine like that?

Whitesnake is no worse than all of their peers of the mid 80's. Rotten garble.

I guess there's a market for all sorts of crap, but that's what the majority of people (at least in the U.S.) want to hear. There's a lot of good talent out there, but the majority of Americans prefer total crap. Anyone who watches American Idol is only contributing to this.
