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.

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.

Do you still have family there? I don't miss the weather there at all, but the humor and non-stop banter Is what I miss. I was actually going to fly over next week but that got put on the back burner til mid summer.
Portglenone - very nice little place.
