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.

Thomas,

I will check out the song and get back to you. I wouldn't at all be surprised to agree that it's a failure (possibly even an embarassing failure). But remember that Babe Ruth struck out over 1300 times during his career. That doesn't change the fact that he is among the handful of great hitters who have ever lived. You've got to take the bad with good, man.

Thomas-

Taken if fun as intended.

As for Cohen - I always think of Peter Sellers in "Being There" where his simple utterances are read into as profound insights.

Ben__ Can you explain your point? Your statement is kinda ambiguous.

Hey, can we redirect this post back to Beyonce and BBQ in Houston. It is much more tasty than Leonard and KY Jelly.
