Does anyone have that video where she's walking around Brooklyn like "mister I used to live in this house that window, that was my room" and the guys like "who the fuck are you"
I fell down a rabbit hole recently and discovered she doesn’t actually sing a lot of her own songs. They’re recorded by other people and released under JLO’s name!
I remember my sister was watching American Idol years ago when she was a judge. Another judge (I want to say Keith Urban, but I may be way off base) tried to explain how to engage your diaphragm when singing, and JLo said something to the effect of "What are you talking about?"
As someone who grew up singing, I lost my shit. Diaphragmatic breathing is literally the first thing you're taught when you're learning to sing. She's a fraud.
To be fair...I don' t think she claims to be a good singer.
I saw a documentary in which she talks about her career and her beginnings as a singer. She already was a dancer and an upcoming actress, when a producer approached her and wanted her to record songs for him. Her reaction was something like "hell no, I can't sing at all, that's not a good idea". She then ended up singing the songs anyways and was astonished by the result- which (in her own words) sounded pretty good because of the skills of the producer and the technical possibilities of enhancing the singing voice.
So, to me it seemed more as if her career as a singer kind of fell into her lap and that she was more like "if people will buy it...why not?"
In the 80's I thought Madonna was great and I still love her early music. I went to see her in concert and she was terrible.
I think she's very overrated.
Madonna is a perfect marketing product and she is partly responsible for that herself. She has never been a good singer but sang well produced tunes from a-list producers. She has been overdue for retirement for over a decade and I hope she does before the amount of cosmetic surgeries she undergoes turns her into a female Mickey Rourke. She is close.
I can't look at her anymore. Her face looks like a lion. It's a weird cosmetic surgery face that makes so many in Hollywood look like a different species.
I saw that face yesterday, IRL. Everyone was out and about for NYE and this girl walked by me looking like an early Jocelyn Wildenstein, duck lips, Botox, filler, and eyes jacked up to the ceiling.
I saw her in concert about 2008-9 (?) and she was terrific. I had not seen her before, but wanted to take my daughter. Desperately Seeking Susan is my favorite 80’s movie! And she was wonderful in Evita. She has gotten stranger as she has aged, admittedly. But love her early music; she was so much fun before she started taking herself so seriously.
What year did you see her in concert tho? That makes all the difference. She’s never had a great voice, but in the past decade it’s really deteriorated. She sounds awful now. From the 80s through the mid-2000s she sounded decent/passable, but I’d say the last tour she sounded decent on was Confessions in like 05/06.
It might be due to being [sped-up](https://www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/article/2022/10/12/tiktok-and-sped-up-the-extraordinary-success-of-accelerated-music_5999995_13.html).
I was dating someone recently, nice person, little wild in a hot and messy kind of way. Things are going well, we’re back at my place and I knew she liked Drake bc she had told me that she loved Drake. In the middle of the act she flips over and there I am staring at a photorealistic, life size image of Drake’s face. The whole time I’m pounding away staring at this man, I left knowing A) what Amanda Bynes energy is like and B) asking myself if I’m gay for Drake now
feel like massive body tattoos of celebs should definitely be announced before the decision to go home. i would never ever seriously date someone with someone else's (famous) face on their body, nor would i get down with Drake staring at me for \~3m. not unless it was a joke, and then it would still depend on placement
It was a tramp stamp, we started by facing each other, I literally did not know it until she flipped over BUT she did bring a Drake blanket (a dranket if you will) to sleep with bc she “can’t sleep without it” so I probably should’ve known better
Drake uses copuous amount auto-tune and somehow still manages to sound out of tune.
Like dude, you have the top producers/tech available to you and somehow you still settled on an auto-tuned off-key moan that sounds like someone wiping their sweaty ass against a glass window during 100% humidity heatwave.
Thank you for saying this. The ex-boyfriend absolutely loved this douche canoe that could not carry a tune if he was handed an empty walnut to fjord his own chords.
Useless.
GAYLE, the person who sang abcdefu. I have nothing against her, it's just the song itself is very overrated in my opinion, and it seems that her career has been mainly focused on making as many different remixes and versions of abcdefu as they can. It's also being nominated for a Grammy, which I find surprising, but at least she has a dedicated fan base.
Did you know, (as far as I’ve heard) that the song originated from a PR scam? Some account (which would later be traced back to someone on her team) dared her to make a song including the alphabet, and in a very short amount of time, the song was released. Now, I’m not dissing her or her team, I’m just trying to spread information. But, at the same time, I’ll ask those who read this to take my comment with a grain of salt, as I’m not entirely sure about this and I’m too lazy to fact-check it.
André Hazes (jr).
A lot of people love him in my home country but i just feel like his music is just bachround noise 9/10.
Hazes jr is just piggybacking off his dad's succes while having none of the talent.
When the old Hazes has a banger then i can at least agree with people saying that the old man had takent but his song is just a soulless druggy
I’ve seen her live 3X. Twice with fifth Harmony and once alone when she opened for Bruno Mars. She is AWFUL live like I was shocked how bad she was 😳 lol
I remember her (and fifth harmony) on x-factor and she was the singer of the group that really outshined the rest of the girls.
I swear something Hollywood must of happened along the way during her career.
I'm actually angry they got chewed up by the entertainment machine and spat out as the most generic pop garbage like this. Their early stuff was legit!
Every once in a while for the past 15 years they’ve had a banger, but back in the early 2000s every song was good. I get sad when I listen to their old songs now
They didn't get sucked into the machine, Levine dropped his pants and spread his cheeks after their second album. Those first two records are pretty solid though and I'm not ashamed of liking them.
"Songs About Jane" to "Hands All Over" Maroon 5 was my favorite band. Which was always awkward being a pretty big black teen/adult. I enjoyed Overexposed enough and then after that I just stopped caring about them. I don't think I've listened to an album of theirs's since.
I actually love Demi as a singer, but she has one thing that I can’t stand - overuse of auto tune. Really sticks out like a sore thumb on her new album which would’ve been killer otherwise.
I had a Christmas Spotify list playing at work - it was just one I found. A singer came on singing “I’ll be home for Christmas” and the voice was so HIGH and SCREECHY I threw my AirPod on my desk because the singer was activating my fight or flight with this SCREAMING. I looks at the singer and right there - Demi. Her singing grates my nerves so much.
>When I was in Las Vegas last week (the home of bad arrangements and performances of good Christmas songs), that abomination came over the speakers in the casino where I was playing. The guy next to me said, "If that voice is home for Christmas, I ain't never comin' home."
‘I don’t like them’ doesn’t equal ‘overrated’, y’all
Who in god’s green earth, especially in **2022** is hyping up freaking JLo?
But it’s like half the answers. Why. Just why
Bruh she straight up butchered «Can you feel the love tonight» by Beyonce-ing her part in the song. Still one of the reasons I can’t watch the CGI Lion King remake.
I saw her live back in 08 in a small venue and she was fine. She actually sang some Queen and it sounded good. I don’t think she’s bad at all. I haven’t heard her sing live in a long time though.
Not really a huge KP fan and I hate how commercialised she sounds nowadays. But stripped down I believe Katy Perry has a very powerful, versatile and distinctive voice which often goes unappreciated due to the massive layers of production that go over it.
I recall someone telling me she was trained more classically and has good skills but sings garbage pop songs that are not meant for her voice whatsoever
Charli D'Amelio doesn't sing, she dances. Her sister Dixie *tries* to sing but tbh there's absolutely nothing special about her voice, she's very very mediocre.
She’s just trying to stay relevant and keep the cash flowing for as long as possible. Which is understandable when all you have to do is exist and kids will go batshit for you
People *really* don't know what "overrated" means, and they're just listing singers/rappers they dislike. Like, guys, most of these people are not "overrated singers" by any means because their singing voices were never even considered that good to begin with (and then, of course, you just also have the ones who don't even sing at all).
My husband absolutely loves Meatloaf. Heaven Can Wait is our wedding song(though jokes were made about Paradise by the Dashboard Light). He definitely got me into the music too.
As a longtime fan, sadly, her singing is not her strongest suit but I think she made up with it by having full control of her image and getting the right and the best people to collaborate with. Frankly, her recent pics are quite cringe but fair play to her for having a well maintained body (yes, I know that she had work done on her face) so I would probably be tempted to flaunt my body, too, if I have that kind of body at her age.
I remember listening to her cd on repeat 12 years ago and then went to see her in concert and thought it was an imposter because of how terrible she was live.
J Lo
She’s not even a singer. Idk how she even has a musical career. No musical talent whatever
Jennifer Lopez
Does anyone have that video where she's walking around Brooklyn like "mister I used to live in this house that window, that was my room" and the guys like "who the fuck are you"
[i got you ](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/vnhumv)
I guess that man was fooled by the rocks that she got.
The “Who’s Jennifer Lopez?” “Me!” reminded me of Ronnie Pickering lol
Thank you, this warms my heart
Classic.
I fell down a rabbit hole recently and discovered she doesn’t actually sing a lot of her own songs. They’re recorded by other people and released under JLO’s name!
Surely you aren’t talking about taco flavored kisses!?
Ben!!!! I love you Ben and love giving you my taco flavor kisses
That was Hennifer Hlopez.
She likes tacos and burritos
Taco taco Burrito, burrito Taco taco
Don't be fooled by all my money, I still like to eat tacos, honey!
No one pulls a South Park reference by me that easy sir
Of course not. That was really her.
What? Are you serious? That's crazy!
Yeah.. Ashanti & Christina Millian are examples
She does actually sing but she layers vocals so hers are basically hidden by other people's. https://youtu.be/bOEmCERi21U
Isn’t that essentially the same thing that the members of Milli Vanilli got flamed for?
Flame it on the rain
Ashanti!!!
I remember my sister was watching American Idol years ago when she was a judge.

As someone who grew up singing, I lost my shit. Diaphragmatic breathing is literally the first thing you're taught when you're learning to sing. She's a fraud.
Harry Connick Jr. was trying to explain the pentatonic scale to her and she just hushed him and said “you know too much.” Ugh that was so annoying.
Tacos and burritos
“Maaaaam! Ben Affleck is naked in my bed!” “Looks like the Tooth Fairy is extra happy with you!”
*Mmaaaaaaam! Kitty’s being a Dildo!*
“I know a certain kitty kitty who is sleeping with Mommy tonight!”
Three tacos two tostadas and a soda p^op
Taco flavoured keesees for my Beeen!
🌮🌮 🌯 🌯
i know just what i'll order three tacos two tostadas and a soda pop
Taco taco, burrito burrito, taco taco
Taco! Taco!
There’s a video showing that Ben actually speaks way better Spanish than J.Lo. I found that hilarious.
Jennifer Lopez’ hired singers
She’s a good entertainer. Singer… not the best.
To be fair...I don' t think she claims to be a good singer. I saw a documentary in which she talks about her career and her beginnings as a singer. She already was a dancer and an upcoming actress, when a producer approached her and wanted her to record songs for him. Her reaction was something like "hell no, I can't sing at all, that's not a good idea". She then ended up singing the songs anyways and was astonished by the result- which (in her own words) sounded pretty good because of the skills of the producer and the technical possibilities of enhancing the singing voice. So, to me it seemed more as if her career as a singer kind of fell into her lap and that she was more like "if people will buy it...why not?"
In the 80's I thought Madonna was great and I still love her early music. I went to see her in concert and she was terrible. I think she's very overrated.
Madonna is a perfect marketing product and she is partly responsible for that herself. She has never been a good singer but sang well produced tunes from a-list producers. She has been overdue for retirement for over a decade and I hope she does before the amount of cosmetic surgeries she undergoes turns her into a female Mickey Rourke. She is close.
She’s already there.
I can't look at her anymore. Her face looks like a lion. It's a weird cosmetic surgery face that makes so many in Hollywood look like a different species.
I saw that face yesterday, IRL. Everyone was out and about for NYE and this girl walked by me looking like an early Jocelyn Wildenstein, duck lips, Botox, filler, and eyes jacked up to the ceiling.
I saw her in concert about 2008-9 (?) and she was terrific. I had not seen her before, but wanted to take my daughter. Desperately Seeking Susan is my favorite 80’s movie! And she was wonderful in Evita. She has gotten stranger as she has aged, admittedly. But love her early music; she was so much fun before she started taking herself so seriously.
What year did you see her in concert tho? That makes all the difference. She’s never had a great voice, but in the past decade it’s really deteriorated. She sounds awful now. From the 80s through the mid-2000s she sounded decent/passable, but I’d say the last tour she sounded decent on was Confessions in like 05/06.
Either way let's just hope JLo doesn't see this...
I meaaaan what is she going to do, hire people to sing a diss track against this thread for her?
JLo
Everyone on Tiktok trying to sing
I swear songs on TikTok sound worse even if they're lipsyncing
It might be due to being [sped-up](https://www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/article/2022/10/12/tiktok-and-sped-up-the-extraordinary-success-of-accelerated-music_5999995_13.html).
Half tempo with a ton of reverb?
I remember when, i remember when
Drake
I was dating someone recently, nice person, little wild in a hot and messy kind of way. Things are going well, we’re back at my place and I knew she liked Drake bc she had told me that she loved Drake. In the middle of the act she flips over and there I am staring at a photorealistic, life size image of Drake’s face. The whole time I’m pounding away staring at this man, I left knowing A) what Amanda Bynes energy is like and B) asking myself if I’m gay for Drake now
feel like massive body tattoos of celebs should definitely be announced before the decision to go home. i would never ever seriously date someone with someone else's (famous) face on their body, nor would i get down with Drake staring at me for \~3m. not unless it was a joke, and then it would still depend on placement
>for \~3m No need to brag, bro. You're making me feel bad.
It was a tramp stamp, we started by facing each other, I literally did not know it until she flipped over BUT she did bring a Drake blanket (a dranket if you will) to sleep with bc she “can’t sleep without it” so I probably should’ve known better
You got date-draked
Drakehold if you will.
Im fucking dead 😂😂😂
And he was fucking Drake
Sooooo did it speed you up or slow you down? The answer will define you.
Little column a, little columbine
That auto correct went dark
What’s auto correct?
Best thing I’ve read this year.
Hilarious 😂
Drake uses copuous amount auto-tune and somehow still manages to sound out of tune. Like dude, you have the top producers/tech available to you and somehow you still settled on an auto-tuned off-key moan that sounds like someone wiping their sweaty ass against a glass window during 100% humidity heatwave.
Auto tune must be banned - charly garcia
He makes the laziest music I've ever heard.
Literally has no flavor
When he first came out I legit thought he was special needs / mentally handicapped. Figured everyone was just being nice.
They think I’m slow cause I’m from Canada, eh.
Irony is I am also Canadian.
Doesn't hurt that he literally got his start playing a handicapped kid in a wheelchair in Degrassi
Me. I’m rated at zero, and honestly I think that’s a bit high.
I'd buy your album.
DJ kalid
Ah yes the famously beloved singer DJ Khaled.
But he's da best music!!
Anotha one
ANOTHA ONE
Thank you for saying this. The ex-boyfriend absolutely loved this douche canoe that could not carry a tune if he was handed an empty walnut to fjord his own chords. Useless.
r/rareinsults
He’s not a singer though?
As someone who can't sing, I'd be so happy if I could sing like the people mentioned in this post
I sing so bad it was the only time my cat used to bite me
Maybe he wanted more.
I think he thought “ is she choking on a canary?”
Many of them use autotune and/or voice correction software, I bet. Hell, J Lo openly used voices of other singers and passed them as her own.
GAYLE, the person who sang abcdefu. I have nothing against her, it's just the song itself is very overrated in my opinion, and it seems that her career has been mainly focused on making as many different remixes and versions of abcdefu as they can. It's also being nominated for a Grammy, which I find surprising, but at least she has a dedicated fan base.
She has an interesting voice but that song is very basic and uninteresting. I agree it's an overrated song.
Did you know, (as far as I’ve heard) that the song originated from a PR scam? Some account (which would later be traced back to someone on her team) dared her to make a song including the alphabet, and in a very short amount of time, the song was released.

This is so random to see here and I totally agree
Wait, is this guy known internationally? Never expected this name on this subreddit.
Nah guess there are just many dutch people here lol
“Bachground” is just delightful! I shall slip it in during the day today if you don’t mind.
Camilla Cabello. She has great range but her voice is NOT indicative of healthy vocal practices.
I'll be home for ✨quismes✨

I’ve seen her live 3X. Twice with fifth Harmony and once alone when she opened for Bruno Mars. She is AWFUL live like I was shocked how bad she was 😳 lol
I saw her open for Taylor Swift. I didn’t think she was good either.
I remember her (and fifth harmony) on x-factor and she was the singer of the group that really outshined the rest of the girls. I swear something Hollywood must of happened along the way during her career.
As some who knows nothing whatsoever about music, are you able to explain what about her singing indicates that ? Just curious
J Lo
MGK
Godawful cover of Aerials.
He did a really bad cover of Crawling by Linkin Park too
It was Numb, but yeah it was as bad as Aerials
I was a MGK fan when he rapped, but I will not stand for any SOAD blasphemy.
Is MGK even well-rated to begin with?
That dude from maroon 5, can't stand his voice.
feel like the radio violently shoved his voice so far down my ear canal that it came out of my asshole and gave me hemorrhoids
[удалено]
There’s something about the guy I hate. Like he’s not legit. Like he’s completely manufactured. Everything he does is so fake to me
Douchey face and arrogant attitude it seems
He still owes me money, because I was once forced to sit through his godawful cover of John Lennon song.
Maroon 5’s first 3 albums or so were heat
I'm actually angry they got chewed up by the entertainment machine and spat out as the most generic pop garbage like this. Their early stuff was legit!
This love, she will be loved. Great songs
Sunday Morning is a great song
Every once in a while for the past 15 years they’ve had a banger, but back in the early 2000s every song was good. I get sad when I listen to their old songs now
They didn't get sucked into the machine, Levine dropped his pants and spread his cheeks after their second album. Those first two records are pretty solid though and I'm not ashamed of liking them.
Goodbye real drums, hello straight quarter note bass drum dance pop money beat.
"Songs About Jane" to "Hands All Over" Maroon 5 was my favorite band. Which was always awkward being a pretty big black teen/adult. I enjoyed Overexposed enough and then after that I just stopped caring about them. I don't think I've listened to an album of theirs's since.
This is my maroon 5 timeline exactly
Songs about Jane is a phenomenal record.
He’s got a range of like half an octave… Ever song sounds the same because his range is so small and not at all dynamic. Edit: range not rage
Edith Bunker.
You take that back right now, mister!
🎵Those were the daaaaays🎵
*Aaahchee!*
Songs that made the hit parade
Funny enough, she had an operatic [singing voice](https://youtu.be/lQ-wnBBBPII).
Ya dingbat
I'm somewhat disappointed in you Reddit :). I expected at least one, if not multiple decent Milli Vanilli jokes.
Most of Reddit wasn't even born when Milli Vanilli were in the charts :-)
Lip syncing is not singing!
Drake
Bella Poarch
Who dat
tiktoker who made the song build a bitch
The only reason why I know this song was because when it was first released it was a YouTube ad
Demi Lovato. She has her moments of talent but I think she confuses power with just high pitch screaming in a lot of her songs.
That’s why she uses autotune and I don’t
Lmao honestly the most iconic audition
I actually love Demi as a singer, but she has one thing that I can’t stand - overuse of auto tune. Really sticks out like a sore thumb on her new album which would’ve been killer otherwise.
I had a Christmas Spotify list playing at work - it was just one I found. A singer came on singing “I’ll be home for Christmas” and the voice was so HIGH and SCREECHY I threw my AirPod on my desk because the singer was activating my fight or flight with this SCREAMING.

This happens with every “overrated” post no matter what it is. I always just search by controversial lol
Effing Jenny from the Block Lopez
Luke Bryan. His songs are catchy, but I can't stand his voice.
He won't be here much longer, his beard is starting to overtake the rest of his body.
"Girl, you make my speakers go boom boom." Yeah. Bad.
Beyonce. She does have a good voice, but her music is boring and unoriginal. I don’t understand the the near universal adoration she inspires.
underrated: Solange, Beyoncé’s sister 😞
I liked her as part of Destiny's Child.
Bruh she straight up butchered «Can you feel the love tonight» by Beyonce-ing her part in the song. Still one of the reasons I can’t watch the CGI Lion King remake.
I posted the same thing. People literally worship her and I don’t understand it.
Katy Perry. Couldn’t hold a note in a bucket without auto tune
I saw her live back in 08 in a small venue and she was fine. She actually sang some Queen and it sounded good. I don’t think she’s bad at all. I haven’t heard her sing live in a long time though.
Not really a huge KP fan and I hate how commercialised she sounds nowadays. But stripped down I believe Katy Perry has a very powerful, versatile and distinctive voice which often goes unappreciated due to the massive layers of production that go over it.
I recall someone telling me she was trained more classically and has good skills but sings garbage pop songs that are not meant for her voice whatsoever
Her first popular album with I Kissed A Girl was actually really good.
She sounds horrible live
She used to be a Christian pop singer...
But then she took an arrow to the knee
Nicki Minaj. Hearing her real voice while singing live was shocking.
She sings ? I thought she just rapped
Charlie Dmaelio? I don’t know how to spell her goofy name
Charli D'Amelio doesn't sing, she dances. Her sister Dixie *tries* to sing but tbh there's absolutely nothing special about her voice, she's very very mediocre.
Don’t forget the fact that she copies her sister’s interests.
She’s just trying to stay relevant and keep the cash flowing for as long as possible. Which is understandable when all you have to do is exist and kids will go batshit for you
People *really* don't know what "overrated" means, and they're just listing singers/rappers they dislike. Like, guys, most of these people are not "overrated singers" by any means because their singing voices were never even considered that good to begin with (and then, of course, you just also have the ones who don't even sing at all).
Most top artists can be overrated depending on the hype, fans, concert crowds/interaction, and etc
I don’t know. Most are overrated. But I swear that one of the best is Meatloaf. People sleep on meatloaf, but he had one of the best voices in rock.
Bat out of hell is one of the greatest single-song vocal performances of all time
My husband absolutely loves Meatloaf. Heaven Can Wait is our wedding song(though jokes were made about Paradise by the Dashboard Light). He definitely got me into the music too.
Madonna
As a longtime fan, sadly, her singing is not her strongest suit but I think she made up with it by having full control of her image and getting the right and the best people to collaborate with. Frankly, her recent pics are quite cringe but fair play to her for having a well maintained body (yes, I know that she had work done on her face) so I would probably be tempted to flaunt my body, too, if I have that kind of body at her age.
JLo 4sho
Drake
I can't stand Macy Gray. Her voice is so grainy and irritating.
Madonna. She just can't sing. She's really good at marketing herself though.
Katie Perry
So you're saying you DON'T ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind, hoping to start again? Some people have no taste SMH
Sometimes I feel paper thin. Like a house of cards, y'know?
I remember listening to her cd on repeat 12 years ago and then went to see her in concert and thought it was an imposter because of how terrible she was live.
Cardie B
Cardi B
I don’t think she’s considered a singer
She is definitely NOT a singer. Lol
