Underrated Singers

[Zulu]

Kelis. It's the truth. People think that she can't sing. Which is bullshit. She has a very unique voice. No one out there right now can sing like her. I've been listening to Tasty all day and it really is a GREAT album. I don't care 'Ew..Milkshake blah blah' kiss my ass and open your mind. Granted, she shouldn't have cut her hair but whatever.

Fergie is up there too.

[L.one H.iryu S.aga]

I'll take Anthony Hamilton for the win.

[Black Chanler]

I like Amerie

[Million]

I don't get why TAMIA's career is always just kinda existing on the sidelines. Not only is she is one of the hottest singers I've ever seen(easily on par with Beyonce-level hotness. I would likely commit murder just to hit it.)...her voice just happens to be amazing. So, with TnA + actual talent....what's going wrong? I still love that first single "You Put a Move on My Heart". The voice was smooooth, sultry, AND had some power....excellent control, etc. etc. Then she hit us off with "Slow Jam" which was a double-dose of greatness since Babyface was on there.(actually, it was a Triple threat; I just remembered Barry White had a small bit on that song too) Ear-Delicious.

just to re-iterate the hotness....dammit....salad-tossable, this girl.

[EveryFlowerFlow]

Avant
Carl Thomas
Musiq

[Roxie]

Craig David...and I like Kelis' haircut....until it started looking like a complete mullet that is..

[Strangevision]

Kylie Minogue. Best pop/dance diva on the planet after Madge and she still gets no recognition in the US. Forget Britney and Christina and Gwen. They are nothing in comparison.

Edit: And Graffiti-Sex says Kylie owns your fucking souls.

[Roxie]

Hold up. Christina vs. Kylie? I'd reallllly have to hear that shit.

[Strangevision]

Voice does not equal talent. Look at Mariah and her shitty music.

[blackstar14]

Bossy's the worst shit i've heard in a LONG time. One of the few songs I get up and turn the station on the radio when I'm playing 3S. Not dissing Kelis, but that shit is horid.I like Milkshake and Tasty but can't stand that stupid song.

Musiq=truth

[jae hoon]

Kelis sucks,


Corey Taylor I think thats his name, lead singer of slipknot. Sounds like garbage with that band but when he actually signs when he does on occasion he sounds really fucking good. Makes you wonder why he continues on why that garbage.

[Million]

...and the group Mint Condition. I really don't get why they didn't become mega-popular even in the 90s just before the boy-band craze came back. They put out 99% good stuff. I have only heard 2 or 3 Mint Condition songs that I didn't like. Why are people clueless to such greatness like "So Fine"? and "What Kind of Man Would I Be?"

Jade was tight back in the early 90s. I've heard their failure was self-inflicted, as they apparently couldn't get along, and just broke up.(yeah, really smart decision, ladies...break up after you come out strong with "Don't Walk Away" and Mr. Do-Right, and "One Woman Man")

[Ryu1999]

Stokely Williams is either love it or hate him. My brother can't stand his voice. I like him a lot, but I can see why some people wouldn't like it. I highly recommend you get "Definition of a Band". I guess the same reason MC didn't blow up is the same reason Boyz II Men died out....which is I can't figure out why other than people getting tired of new jack swing

[Kayin]

Kylie Minogue. Best pop/dance diva on the planet after Madge and she still gets no recognition in the US. Forget Britney and Christina and Gwen. They are nothing in comparison.

Edit: And Graffiti-Sex says Kylie owns your fucking souls.
Kylie Minogue has never once failed to make my ears bleed.

[Green]

Mikael Åkerfeldt

[Warpticon]

Mint Condition = dope

Amel Larrieux

[Wellman]

I don't get why Amerie only seems to have one hit single and then I don't here jack about her album. Usually her singles are good too.

I miss Maya, Toni Braxton and Brandy, sure they weren't underratted but I just miss them.

[Strangevision]

Kylie Minogue has never once failed to make my ears bleed.
Can't handle the brilliance?

[maxx]

Craig David...and I like Kelis' haircut....until it started looking like a complete mullet that is..

i agree wit craig david..i still d/l his stuff. i really wish he blew up in america...his first cd did but i dunno wut happened wit his second in america. now he's got a third i believe in the uk.

[EvilKing]

Corey Taylor I think thats his name, lead singer of slipknot. Sounds like garbage with that band but when he actually signs when he does on occasion he sounds really fucking good. Makes you wonder why he continues on why that garbage.You're just a pussy. You want James Hetfield and Zach Wylde to sing at your wedding too?


Kylie is, in fact, the shit. Kylie > Maddona+Christinax2

[The Grey Area]

I do not listen to much R&B as of late but I was always surprised the Musiq did not do that well.

and Corey Taylor can sing, but he can also kick ass and kicking ass has gotten him more money and a grammy so why would he stop?

Also, it not like he has much to say in either group, I like a few Stone Sour songs but he screams better than he sings. If I want to hear melodic vocals to the sound of a soft guitar, he is not the first name that comes to mind.

He's at least slightly overrated at both.

Further more, there are songs on their new SS cd that are slipknot songs - two drumers and then there's Vermillion, from subliminal verses, which is basically a SS song. So it's not like omg teh band members are keeping him from achieving his true singing self!

[Stylistics]

just talking vocial talent and not music; Christina is the best sounding nowadays. If she did a little more r&b (real r&b, not the club bangers trying to pass off as r&b), she sould could like Teena Marie and Jon B repping that Ivroy soul.

A rant: Why is r&b such garbage today? Not r&b at all, it should just be called "club bangers" made by the "it" producers. and the sound/ vocies are weak and a dime a dozen. These days, kids don't care about music and got short attention spands. They just wanna bump some shit in they ride or hear that shit "up in the club" and the quality is way down. A r&b song is on the radio and one month later, its already old and kids sick of listening to them and move on to the next pop song. Its throw a way music. Todays so called r&b are a dime a dozen, cannot stand the test of time like the classics. I don't called it Old school, they Classics in my book: Marvin, Luther, Teena, etc....

70's soul, 60's motown, 80's (and early 90's) r&b >>>> garbage trying to pass for r&b these days

the music doesn't have to be slow, just a real talent singing and not about the beats produced by Kanye......

How many songs do we have to hear with lyrics about ," my man/girl on the side" or about being in all up in the club?

I grew up with r&b from the 90's and at least the vocials had talent: Boyz II men, Shai, Silk, Monica, Toni Braxton, SWV, Jon B, xscape, etc. They music can stand the test of time (with help from Babyface, Jimmy Jam / Terry Lewis, Dallas Austin, Diane Warren/ David Foster, Jermine Dupre) Can you listen to the 2000's artists in 2010's?

Maybe I'm just an old fool that can't let go growing up with the 70s'80's 90's r&b soul, and all that shit....

Do r&b groups exist anymore? now everybody is for themselves all solo with weak voices, I would like to hear more the Harmony back in r&b and real talent. Thats why I be listenin' to country music now, at least they be singing on some different shit...

[crimzonflame]

New Edition

[Shinto]

Lance Bass......oh wait wrong thread.

50 Cent his voice is like a cracked out Barry.
JaRule his voice is like a cracked out Bobby Brown with extra shit on it.

but Keiysha Cole could sing.....no really she could.

Just for saying SWV, you are cool in my book.

Granted, there are a few songs out now that I really like (I'm actually looking forward to Fergie's album. She does have good singing ability) but overall, I'm a mid 80's to mid 90's R&B fan. Sade, Brownstone (another underrated group), Keith Sweat, Shanice, Jill Scott..amoung others.

Orgy is underrated as well.

[1/2Man1/2God]

Amerie for the win

[MESOPOTAMIA]

but ahhh, sticking to the subject: Tamia is hot and got talent.

[Taito]

Let me rephrase what I said: If we're talking UK R&B singers, Lamar is very talented, and Craig David.. isn't.

v Yeah Ceelo gets slept on, but that Gnarls Barkley thing got him some attention.

[ViciousSLASH]

Ceelo Green, he is the fucking soul machine.

[Zachman]

Craig David is untalented shit. If we're talking decent UK R&B singers, I'd namedrop Lamar.


I wouldn't label songs like "Fill me in", "7days", or "Walking away" as untalented shit.

[EveryFlowerFlow]

Ceelo Green, he is the fucking soul machine.


lmao @ that AV

[Ryu1999]

I wouldn't label songs like "Fill me in", "7days", or "Walking away" as untalented shit.

Or "Hypnotic", "All the Way", or "Don't Love You No More" off his newest album

[EveryFlowerFlow]

I wouldn't label songs like "Fill me in", "7days", or "Walking away" as untalented shit.


lotta English people hate Craig David. Mostly because of the Artful Dodger thing, then the whole pissing off to America forgetting about us, only to come back when he never kicked off and then finally the fact he really isn't that good.

[maxx]

artful dodger?..wanna explain?

him not coming back to america is probably more a label thing than his personal choice.

[Kikosho]

Tamia hands down. Her newest album (not yet released in the U.S.) is great. She never really moved units like she should. I'd also have to say Fergie. That girl can really sing past all the my humps/London Bridges shit.

wtf..fergie cannot sing..i have yet to hear one person say she can sing.

[Kikosho]

She has a song called "Won't Let You Fall" where she actually sings. Check it out and tell me what you think.

[EveryFlowerFlow]

Ok well, there's a genre(s) of music called Garage/2 Step popular in England and some parts of Europe. So in like 1998/9 Artful Dodger (a 2 step producer) produced the track 'Rewind' for Craig David which basically made him who he is. Craig got more and more popular because of Rewind while Artful Dodger was in the shadows. They continued working on songs but there's was a track "Please Don't Turn Me On" Dodger wanted Craig to do vocals on but Craig refused saying he was too busy working on is own debut album. Left a bad taste in the mouth of some people, of course then Fill Me In comes out and it's "Artful who"?



EDIT: No one mentions Tony Toni Tone :sad:

dang u british hold a grudge..if that shit went down..and probably has in america..we'd be like fuck it w.e If they making good music we gonna listen.

Like if em and dr.dre had a falling out..people would still listen to em and dr.dre.

But ya like i said the whole screwing america on his 2nd and third album is more likely a labels choice and not craigs..cause he blew up here and his music was defintly summer hits.

i think he tried to briong over his second album..but not too sure. i def know that new one didnt make it here.

[Zulu]

I can't stand Rewind.

This is the chours: 'Re rewind/Crowd say bo/selecta.'

maxx: Believe it or not, Fergie can really REALLY sing. She's up there with Christana Aguleria in terms of vocal power. People shit on her all the time. They hate her just because it's cool. But I respect artists who have true ability to sing and she can.

But Craig David is good. 'Can't be Messing Around' 'Follow Me' and that song he made with Sting are good songs.

hmm i will have to look into it myself. I've been going on peoples words cause this is the first time ive heard she could sing. And to compare her to christina..damn

oh i think aguleria is underrated..people are still hating because of her slut look transformation..when her voice...literally destroys soo many pop singers.

[Green]

Mikael Åkerfeldt
No replies... truly underrated

[AMinorThreat]

Kylie Minogue has never once failed to make my ears bleed.
I came in here to say...

Get outta here wit da shit!!!

Love at First Sight for life.

[Million]

I also like Kylie(*not just because I'd bang her sweet ass 6 ways to Sunday), but come on. She does not compare to early Madonna or Christi Aguilera's power and control.

*well, I'll admit Madonna isn't really a huge talent specifically on vocals...but her songs have had an overall great, catchy, interesting sound...especially the early stuff like Dress You Up and Material Girl. But Aguilera...please. Her voice kills Kylie.

*and oh yes...Love At First Sight = totally Ear-Delicious.

*Tone Toni Tony's "Lay Your Head on My Pillow" is one of the greatest songs of all time. There have been many times where I just listened to that on repeat....actually that mention put it on my mind, and I'm listening to that song now.

*oh! I forgot "I Wanna Dance Tonight" by TTT featuring Lucy Pearl is on my playlist right after "Lay Your Head.."! oh yeahhhh...It's not as good as "Lay..", but it's still nice.

*there was some female group that did a cover of the OJays(I think?) "Stairway to Heaven", and it was great. The sad thing is...
1. I can't remember their name.
2. Searching for this is impossible, since to the vast majority of white people..."Stairway to Heaven" = that rock song....thus, this is all you'll see on various file-sharing things.
3. Or...people only remember the original OJays song.

*I also prefer EnVogue's version of "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" to the original.

[cam347]

Danny Boy. But he never had a record so that's quite understandable. A few singles and features. But that's why u cant sign to Death Row.

[Dasrik]

What's with all the R&B and dance crap in this thread?

Hope Sandoval.

[Warpticon]

I repeat: Amel Larrieux.

[RowJoe]

co-sign on akerfeldt. damnation is such a great album...
i think the singer from dredg has a pretty good voice.

[capcomANDsnk]

I repeat: Amel Larrieux.

hell yea, that girl can sing. check out "make me whole"

my pick: Raheem Devaughn, most people probly never heard of the guy. i would even say he's the only dude that comes close to d'angelo

[cam347]

B.B. Hood. She gots mad skillz on da mic :D

[crimzonflame]

New Edition.

[Roxie]

Since when has New Edition ever been "underrated"??

Yeah, Fergie can really sing. She used to be in this group called Orchard in the late 90's. They didn't blow up, but they had talent. Like a white SWV....and while SWV was the shit, they still dream of being 1/2 as good as En Vouge.

Oh and btw, Mary J. Blidge can't sing at all.

[Kikosho]

I repeat: Amel Larrieux.
Yes. I just discovered her a week ago. I didn't even know who she was, but she's pretty good.

Fuck Jill Scott. She sings about schoolgirl shit. And she's fat.

[SkyeElemental]

Who else here has heard of Delta Goodrem?? Her voice is AMAZING. Think Kelly Clarkson but even better.

[Best Kind Boxer]

Laura Andreone. Girl gots skills.

Too bad all of her songs either suck, are about boys, other cheesy shit, etc. "Lamentation" if good tho.

[nAstymAn]

Chris Brown. :rofl:

But seriously, I'd have to say Lyfe Jennings or Anthony Hamilton.

[XZalla]

Lizz Fields..

[evilj]

Voice does not equal talent. Look at Mariah and her shitty music.

voice and voice usage does=talent
music=preference.

it's a matter of preference, but she is the best selling female singer of all time, and in terms of hits is up there with elvis and the beattles and surpasses one of them in number 1 hits.

[The Bucket Of Truth]

Who else here has heard of Delta Goodrem??i worked at one of her concerts. it was great hanging out with all those 10yr old girls...

[TS]

Emily Bindiger?

And I have to thank Million for bringing up Tamia...I totally forgot about her. She is indeed very talented (though I haven't heard her stuff in years), and almost unfairly attractive.


I don't like Madonna's stuff. The only songs I really like of hers were Just Like a Prayer and Human Nature. I guess the rest of the stuff was OK...I don't hate it, but it's not really my thing. Except for that "Take a Bow" song, which I mostly hated just due to overexposure.

I wish Lucy Pearl handn't broken up.


What's that chick's name from Nightwish?

[Strangevision]

voice and voice usage does=talent
music=preference.

it's a matter of preference, but she is the best selling female singer of all time.
No, that award goes to Madonna. A woman with minimal vocal talent, but she actually has a brain. That's why she's a legend while Mariah is a "successful singer that has broken records on the US Billiboard chart."

[Roxie]

You've got to be kidding. Mariah w/ her whistle register is a legend.

[Mechanica]

I don't know 95% of the people listed in this topic...

[Strangevision]

You've got to be kidding. Mariah w/ her whistle register is a legend.
What has she sang that is worth anything? You told me yourself that she fell off after Butterfly.

[Million]

Let's see....in my opinion, Mariah has sounded great on most of the things I've heard from her:
-"One Sweet Day" with Boyz II Men
-"Hero"
-the first single, Vision of Love
-both versions of Fantasy <--this doesn't display her overall vocal talent as much as other songs, but I love it. How can you deny the simple greatness of the "Genius of Love" melody? Mariah sounds fantastic on that.

-When You Believe (*the Prince of Egypt soundtrack may be the greatest soundtrack of all time, btw. I highly recommend it. EVERYTHING on there is good....dammit, and I just noticed; it has, in fact, disappeared. Of fucking course. My things always mysteriously vanish.)

[Gimpy]

I say Amerie, Raheem DaVaughn, this group called Kindred, and CeCe Winans.

[Million]

...ah, and Someday, Dreamlover, Emotions, etc. Come on, the list of Mariah's greatness just has no end.

She hasn't made it yet...but what about Paris from American Idol? I think that was her name. A lot of people(especially here) wouldn't care since she's from that show, and they immediately associate Am.Idol = pop trash(because "pop" is always bad, right? Yeah right, you people didn't like Michael Jackson in the 80s, I guess?) Paris was on another level compared to most American Idol singers in that show's entire history. I would've ended the season right there and declared her the winner.(*if it weren't for Brenna Gether's hotness swaying my judgement...but that's another issue)

[Adam Warlock]

You've got to be kidding. Mariah w/ her whistle register is a legend.
Save your breath. You'll never change a gay guy's opinion on Madonna or Cher.

[Warpticon]

Can somebody explain to me why Mariah Carey is being discussed in an Underrated Singers thread?

[Stylistics]

Underrated: Keith Martin

Bad Boys I Soundtrack: 8. Never Find Someone Like You - Keith Martin

This guy is very talented and my most underrated male singer. Check out the song if you guys can. This song reminds me that r&b nowaday doesn't have romance and that romantic feeling to it. ( I don't think the word 'romance' does not exist anymore)

I don't knowto say if Keith Martin is underrated or just not known, but very talented.

Female underrated singer: Deniece Williams

You may heard from her from her duet with Johnny Mathis "Too Much Too Little Too Late". But she has a very calm voice and she is doing gospel now. She is Jzzie Phe (producer) mom. She did have a pop hit ,"Lets hear it for the boy" sometime in the 80's.

[Strangevision]

Save your breath. You'll never change a gay guy's opinion on Madonna or Cher.
lmfao

Yeah, that is correct.

[TheMaidenMasha]

Ginuwine > Usher vocally

This thread reminded me of when I was watching Americas Got Talent and this group of three 16 y/o girls called N'Versity were AMAZING. And brandy hated on them for stupid reasons (think she was a bit jealous actually)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0kw_cqGB3s

[Soundbwoy]

Present Choice: Jill Scott (It seems that all heavyset sistas can sing)


Old School choice: Minnie Ripperton (maybe not underated, but hit insane notes)

Soulful white dude choice: Jay Kay from Jameraqoui

[Suavion]

Ginuwine > Usher vocally

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0kw_cqGB3s

Yea Brandy was hatin'.........hard. I like her but she shouldn't hate.

Another artist that I think is slept on is Keith Washington. I remember reading back and I saw someone say they were a fan of early 90's R&B. I think it was Zulu. If anyone else is a fan of early 90's r&b could you possibly list names of solo male singers of that era?

I know its alot to ask of but I've been searching for this song for damn near 13 or more yrs!!! I don't know any lyrics to it, I just know I saw the video in the summer of 93-96. It was a guy and I think the girl was pregnant in the video or something. And I don't think the guy was a huge artist or anything. I'll know it if I hear it.

If anyone has any knowledge of this PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jizzz_frame]

everyone forgets the best singer of all time:

the guy from journey

[LucasBishop]

Eric Benet.

A Day in the Life is classic, not a weak song on it. Hurricane got no promotion, but it's good, too.

Jon B.

After Cool Relax, he fell of many people's radar, but since then he dropped two albums, Pleasures U Like, and Stronger Everyday, that real R&B lovers should not miss.

Carl Thomas.

He's probably gonna go down as a one hit wonder for I Wish, which is sad, cuz he had some real good material on his two albums.

Other cats I gotta mnetion:

Rahsaan Patterson
Dwele
Van Hunt
Cosign on Raheem DeVaughn, if only for the track, "Breathe".

[Zulu]

Yea Brandy was hatin'.........hard. I like her but she shouldn't hate.

Another artist that I think is slept on is Keith Washington. I remember reading back and I saw someone say they were a fan of early 90's R&B. I think it was Zulu. If anyone else is a fan of early 90's r&b could you possibly list names of solo male singers of that era?

I know its alot to ask of but I've been searching for this song for damn near 13 or more yrs!!! I don't know any lyrics to it, I just know I saw the video in the summer of 93-96. It was a guy and I think the girl was pregnant in the video or something. And I don't think the guy was a huge artist or anything. I'll know it if I hear it.

If anyone has any knowledge of this PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaron Hall-I Miss You

Damn that was a painfully sad video.

[Suavion]

Yea, I remember a guy crying during that song when our teacher let us listen to the radio in middle school. I was like "damn man.........thats a sad ass song."

Yea but Aaron Hall was the voice of the 90's to me. I would've known it was him. hhmmm. I even went to a website that has nothing but 90's R&B and I still couldn't find this singer. I know this is hopeless, but I have to find this song. I wish I could go back in time and slap myself. Damn I was a dumb kid. I even remember seeing the video and saying "O yea, this is my shit!" Why in the hell didn't I get this guy's name!!!! Atleast the name of the song........SHIT!

[Adam Warlock]

The song wasn't sad, it was the video. If you listen to the song, his chick left him. Now all-of-a-sudden in the video she died? WTF?

"I thought you'd be with me forever, but I guess someone took my place. took the place of me loving you, and making love to you all through the night" All of a sudden god is killing hoes to lay game down? Talk about cock-blocking.

[zakky]

You wanna talk about unnapreciated singers: Honus Honus from Man Man. Not r&b but I doubt this guy gets the appreciation I think he deserves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf29NwL-vL0&search=engwish%20bwood. Greatest voice ever.

[Blackheart2097]

christina augulera and Kelly Klarkson

[Gimpy]

You know who else I'm going to say.....Marques Houston and Omarion.....:sweat: :looney:

[Freakshow]

hmm i will have to look into it myself. I've been going on peoples words cause this is the first time ive heard she could sing. And to compare her to christina..damn

oh i think aguleria is underrated..people are still hating because of her slut look transformation..when her voice...literally destroys soo many pop singers.

QFT. Christina is an absolute vocal beast. But you are right, she does get shitted on alot. I think the new record could do a lot to turn heads again. Her 1st record was incredible especially considering that was the time when all the Britney Spears clones were coming out of the woodwork. Barring any really stupid career moves, she could be up there with Aretha Franklin, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Gladys Knight. Moving on to the topic to underrated singers

-Brownstone (their cover of the Eagles "I can't tell you why" is Bauer Tier)
-Darren Hayes (Savage Garden Singer)
-The Bee Gees (Go ahead and laugh. Groups today would cut off an arm and a leg to have their melody and songwriting ability)
-India Arie

The poor woman died during childbirth.

:sad:

Anyone else like Robin Thicke?

shola ama... dunno what happened to her... and Eternal ironically didn't last

King Diamond

[Satomiblood]

I'll have to say Nina Persson of the Cardigans. She has one of the most delicate, softest-sounding voices I have ever listened to.

[Stevie White]

everyone forgets the best singer of all time:

the guy from journey

If we're gonna bring rock into this, Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden owns the universe.

[aa_overmind]

If we're gonna bring rock into this, Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden owns the universe.

Nice!!!

I also think Ronnie James Dio is an amazing singer!!

[Stevie White]

Dio does indeed Rock. His vocals on "Rainbow in the Dark" are godlike. I know there are more metal guys out there with amazing voices, but they are all excaping me right now.

[goodm0urning]

Glenn Danzig... also known as "the Evil Elvis."
