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.

Cor blimey Thomas my old china, Beyonce might leave her man for you, especially if you talk the plummy Queen's English, after all did she not fancy Austin Powers?. Americans love an English accent.
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.
Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit is not only a Lame Duck, he's a douche bag. First for naming his band that, and second, for somehow convincing himself and fans that he had "street cred".

As a front man and musically, he's a talentless prick. Although, I do have to give him credit as a fledgling director for the 2009 movie "The Education of Charlie Banks". It had none of his onstage wanna-be, from the 'hood, street attitude. Surprising, to say the least.
Grateful Dead - Didn't know who these guys were when I first came to the US then all these people started telling me how "far out" and "right on" they were. I finally said "righteous brother" and went out and bought Skeletons in the Closet, gave it one listen and tossed it in the closet.

I forgot to also mention Whitesnake.

Now here is a guy with a lot of releases many of you may have jumped around to back in the day. Here is a list of some of those releases:

DISCO SWEAT

IN THE MOOD TO LOSE

SUPER SWEATIN

BOOGIE DOWN THE POUNDS

NO IFS AND BUTTS

TONIN TO THE OLDIES

TOTALLY TONIN

COUNTRY CARDIO

Time to don your leopard-skin leotards and leggings and dig out your old tapes guys - IIIIITTTSSSS.............RICHARD SIMMONS !

Prefer the BUNS OF STEEL DVD myself tough.
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.
