I think he is more overrated because of the story he had, his suicide, the aesthetic boys/girls wanting to romanticize all his depression, that Kurt was a believer in astrology, he liked anime, he was "in favor" of feminism, he wore dresses, etc... Many things that nowadays are considered cool and serve to fit into today's society standars.
@@marinadiamondz He didn't like anime, he didn't believe in astrology, but you are right about being in favor of feminism, but I think why he is considered cool is because he acted like he didn't give a shit about anything and didn't want the stardom.

I knew I had to go further beyond with a hot take 😂
The only similarities I can think of between prince and MJ are that they were both African American pop rock superstars who arguably hit their peaks in the 1980's
most people are forgetting overrated does not mean bad. Edit: after discussions in the comments I feel like it should say overrated doesn’t ALWAYS mean bad.

@@properduction2586 Thats not what it means, pls do research. Overrated means if people think someone is better than what they really are. It has nothing to do with popularity
You shouldn't call Bob Dylan or Lou Reed "overrated" when they are generally not rated as top rate singers. Nobody ever said they were technically great singers. You either enjoy their style and expression or you don't.
@@markshepperson3603 Even someone with a very appealing voice like Neil Young likes range and technique, it were his tone and style the ones that made him so commercially successfull, aside of his songwriting obviously.
They are not overrated whatsoever, they are poets, excellent musicians and the top tier greatest songwriters, they also have more interesting and more tonally euphonic voices than those “big voiced divas” who just warble and try to sing a million notes per syllable whilst being incapable of even writing their own songs.
Right? He had a little more than 3 octaves and was absolutly INCREDIBLE in lower and higher registers, its not like alot of singers who have a similar ou bigger range but doesnt maintain the glow and versitility in some parts of their range. Freddy was potent on every aspect.
@@Shicomogs i dont really take on consideration his high notes above the sixth octave bc he is barely singing them, i think f2 - a5 is better bc it represents the notes that are actually solid and well placed, and not just random screams that he made like once and happened to be on the sixth octave.
LET'S AGREE: If it wasn't for Prince and Michael Jackson being two black pop artists in the 80s, there would be little to no comparison between their music
True. I think its just cause they both were black and basically created the styles of the 80s... and that a lot of artists wanted to sound like them. It would've been interesting to have seen what they would do if they collabed.
Another reason the comparison is made is because many people find that prince is a better vocalist even though he isn’t as popular, so it does make sense to bring it up.
The fact that someone out there thinks Freddie Mercury's singing voice is/was overrated blows my mind. The dude has one of the biggest ranges in rock music. He had more than a three octave range, full voice. The guy could sing the phone book
I personally like his singing but one of my old roommates genuinely didn't like his voice much, but it wasn't anything to do with range or technical ability, my roommate did respect that he was talented, but it was just his personal taste because Freddie was too nasaly/abrasive for him, which honestly I do understand even though I disagree
People be like: “they an overrated singer bc they have a bad range” Artist: *has good range* People: “they overrated because they have poor technique though!!” Artist: *has good range AND good technique* People: “AlL ThEy Do iS ShOw OfF tHeIr VoCaL AbIlItiEs tHeY aRe So OvErRaTeD”
Not only that, but he could sing live just as cleanly as his studio performances. I've watched so many live videos of him singing and never heard his voice waver or crack in anyway. And with his energy on-stage, that feat is damn near impossible. Freddie Mercury can't be overrated, he can only be fairly rated as the greatest Rock singer of all time (Above the likes of Robert Plant, Roger Daltry, Mick Jagger, and even Paul McCartney who I would put at 2nd for rock vocals).
No big Queen fan, always too kitsch for me (I get it that's the point) but damn Freddie could sing and is rightfully recognised as one of the greatest rock singers of all time
It reminds me of an incident recently when I made a post on social media saying that I love a good guitar solo and someone asked me who my favorite guitarists are. I said Hendrix, Eddie Van, Angus Young, and Stevie Ray. And dude replied "Oh. You know they're all considered bottom of the barrel in terms of talent and influence." I wanted to shoot a motherfucker.
There are many people who think like that the bigger the fandom the more critics you get cause the fandoms overrate their favourite artist way too much

@@nabeelhasan8870it's just the vibe I think, I'm the same where I'm not crazy about him but he is a talented singer and if you're into his style then I could understand liking him a lot
If MJ, Prince or Freddie don't deserve the recognition they have, who does lmao? I feel some of these people are just suburban middle class kids, or indie tryhards who praise whatever trendy Spotify artist is being promoted.
Maybe that's the point. Maybe their point is that no one deserves so much wealth and coddling just because they can sing and perform. Not sure if this is my viewpoint or not, though. But you did ask.
Melon like " Chad says " Let's agree everyone's opinion is overrated" I somewhat agree how you might see that . I mean there's definitely a tendancy to go for an opinion that just has shock value in it rather than constructive analysis to bring more attention but simultaneously there's a couple of actual good ones here... that Freddy mercury one was clearly the biggest case of stupidity though'
As for Bob Dylan, part of his contribution to the evolution of music is that he demonstrated that if the songs you write are good enough they will sound good even if you're not a technically good singer.
Yes they're pretty much punk. Grunge isn't a genre, it's a label given to rock music from Seattle. How come there would otherwise be any arguing on whether STP is grunge or not?
Strong agree with your reaction to whoever said Freddie Mercury was over-rated or that Prince is the poor man’s Michael Jackson. Seriously shitty takes.
I'd agree that Mercury is overrated in the sense that he's rated as probably the best singer of all time, and while he's a fantastic singer I don't think he's the GOAT singer, but instead the GOAT performer alongside MJ. Mediocre he's not though that's for sure.
Kurt’s vocals are unmatchable. They are so personal to him and purposefully done the way they are that you need to have Kurt’s soul and artistic passion to express his lyrics. there is no faking it
Kurt Cobain’s soul and artistic passion is essentially that of a suburban high school junior who discovered weed and thinks everything he says is deep.
@@Jinglejangles2234 *shrug* Not really. The music is perfectly fine and I get why people like it. He wasn't a bad musician. But we act like his lyrics and voice are spiritual awakenings, yet he was the weakest lyricist and vocalist of the big four grunge bands. There's nothing wrong with that, and people can still prefer Nirvana to the rest. It's just strange to me that we feel the need to pretend it's somehow something more.
@@All5Horizonsmy dude you seem like the typical no problems in my life person who can’t see or understand when deep emotions are laid out through lyrics. Smh
Yeah Freddie doesn’t have vocal range and I’m the biggest rockstar of all time. Who in the actual fuck would have that kind of brain to think Freddie doesn’t have vocal range? His parents must be so disappointed for giving birth to that thing
@Michael South Geez calm down, it’s a joke. I’m not stupid to think that someone’s parents are disappointed just because their kid knows nothing about music
I kinda hate Adele’s music tbh I just can’t stand it it makes me cringe like she’s trying way to hard but that just my opinion no judgment to people who like her but I just can’t
I saw someone list out the lowest and highest notes some singers have hit and although Elvis typically rested in one area, his range from top to bottom was shockingly wide because of that falsetto paired with his deep deep lows
idc (and doubt very much) if michael jackson "changed the world". he has an annoying ass voice (dont get me started on those fucking screams, like stfu) fanatic fans that wont accept anything bad said against him, including him sleeping with random ass children, and is overall just a very unpleasant and obnoxious person. I will never understand why people worship him like the second coming of christ or some shit, just because he was popular.
None of theses artists and singers are overrated. I'm not fans of all of them but I recognise their immense talent. Sometimes when we are too familiar with an artist and their music is overplayed there is a backlash which is where the overrated arguments come in
I have a personal take. There are certain bands that were catapulted into the main stream... Of which I have no examples but hear me out... There are certain bands that could have stayed on the DL and they would have done pretty okay and because they were catapulted off like one good song I believe that sometimes a certain part of these band's audiences will think that they're over rated after putting out a follow up album to all that success and it gets shit on because it's not like [Previous Album]
That's usually what 'overrated' means. When there's no real criticism to cite, there's always 'overrated': "I'm angry that it's popular, and I can't stop putting my nose in the spoiled milk"
@@ghostofdeath663 Yeah fam. It's coz of his obsessive fanboys who think that Freddie is an untouched vocalist who is incomparable to anyone. They make Freddie look like a god which absolutely proves why Freddie is overrated. Also the fact that how Queen fans overhype Bohemian Rhapsody like it's the greatest song ever made. Personally, apart from vocals Bohemian Rhapsody is boring. Like I don't get it why people overhype it so much, I don't find anything interesting about that song😂.
saying adele is nothing without her big and powerful voice is like saying mariah carey is nothing without her high range. yeah. thats what makes them good singers.
I honestly find Adele kind of hyped. She's great, don't get me wrong, but when she came onto the scene it was like people hadn't heard a white girl who sounded black before (Amy Winehouse *cough). I don't think she's necessarily revolutionary or unique, she simply has a great voice and sings great songs, which is great. Sometimes, though, I feel like I hear people raising her on a pedestal like she'll be remembered as another Aretha Franklin or something.
why are people so dead keen on a wide vocal range? i'd rather have a singer with a unique style than some generic wide range one. not saying a wide vocal range is a bad thing, but it's not a necessity for singers imo.
It's not about necessity, people bring up range because it is impressive and can sound really good if done well. When talking about vocalists range is the thing that let's you stand out. Having a high and powerful voice literally makes you stand out, it's easier to hear. I'm not even being silly here. In a crowded bar or at a concert, the singer with the higher range will be heard better than the one that sings low. There is more to it too, a good song has range in the melody, going up or down creates drama, so singers with good range can have more dramatic and emotional songs. Of course it's not needed, I like singers who have small ranges too, it's just I don't think of them as amazing singers, I usually like them because they are great songwriters.
Right. Look at people like Frank Sinatra, he had a range of around D2-G#4 but his voice is one of the best I've ever heard. It's not about how high or low your voice can be, it's what you can do with it.
By the way . This is from his most famous song " But she never lost her head even when she was giving head " .... If Em or Kanye said that they would be getting hell 😂
@@outis439-A Yeah I know the story . And each stories of that song was well put together . However I do think he said that line especially to put some kind of humourous joke .

@@grizzlixxthis is an absolutely insane take. Freddie Mercury is a technically amazing singer. They absolutely revolutionized and impacted music in a huge way. You can personally dislike their style, but their talent and impact is undeniable.
@@strider3164 to me, technical talent is only a novelty, as a regular guy who just listens to the music. Ask someone who makes it, I’m sure its far more important. The impact and influence side, generally i just think its a weak reason for highly rating music, it just feels like conceding/implying that you dont really care for the music outside of some theoretical basis. Which, as a guy who only listens to the stuff, doesnt really compel me
“Prince is the poor man’s Michael Jackson” BRUH. Prince was such a talented musician, he practically had his own genre. Look up "Minneapolis Sound." Whoever said he's a poor man's Michael Jackson is a casual.
IMO Michael is a superior technical singer but not by much. Prince had better range by a decent margin. Prince was a better instrumentalist by large margin but that's true of almost anyone compared to Prince. Michael was probably a bit better of a songwriter but at that point there are no losers. The idea that either could be a poor man's version of the other is ridiculous.
@@Adamdidit I'm a huge MJ fan but c'mon, Prince's songwriting ability exceeds Michael's by a long shot I think. Prince was technically more talented as a musician and instrumentalist, Michael was way more talented as an overall entertainer and and just a hugggee solo icon and phenomenal talent. It's like comparing David Bowie to James Brown... One was an instrumentalist singer, one was an enigmatic entertainer. Singing? Prince had a bigger range, while Michael was technically superior in terms of vocals and technique... I agree with you, would edge to Michael more
I mean due to how repeatative other artists' music is nowdays she's really original and I don't think she's that overrated. It's probably just that some people know just a few of her songs and bad guy is really overapreciated but she as an artist isn't.
@@doiknowyou6284 still didn't deserve 5 grammys . And I don't dislike Billie , I really like the singles and features but the album doesn't do it for me . I couldn't even complete it once.
in some ways michael jackson was an underrated singer, particilarly in his adult years. people focused on the videos and overbown concerts etc. he always had too much going on on stage and too much pyrotechnics but if you purely analyse his vocals on record he was a great singer. very pure tone perfect for pop music
@@alecreyna1147 yea thats why i said "on record". he was never pure lip sync but because of the dance routines etc, I dont think he could keep the vocals going at the same time. its sad. I wish he went on jools holland or something and only danced in between the vocals. But from off the wall up to the end, people rarely mention the singing, which for the most part was fantastic.
@@OakplaysCGaming965 he was much more original as an adult. as a kid he was copying other singers and was amazing at it for sure. his main mark as a vocalist, left on the history of music and influencing other singers, was as an adult.
Freddie Mercury, Mariah Carey, Micheal Jackson? I was waiting for a dummy to say Whitney Houston so I can smash my phone against the wall. Some people just wanna be contrarian s or they just trolling.
You're right - the prince guy was confirmed trolling. When the video was first released he was up and down the comments here saying that he wrote that just to get in the video and that it wasn't a real opinion. A couple others are probably trolls too.
Prince was a musical genius, MJ had a voice from God, Cobain’s gruff delivery kickstarted a genre, Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter of all time, and Freddie was probably the most talented frontman of all time (Chris Cornell and Plant were just amazing as well)
@@BRobMint literally never, people always talk about his dance moves and think he's a "quite good" singer just because they only listened to the thriller album, real fans know his range was incredibly versatile and one of the greatest, he never gets credit and most people never heard his lowest vocals like in "2000 watts" on the Invincible album... I don't take this youtuber's opinion cause I know he's a MJ hater.
too many pretentious wannabe critics. you show them a groundbreaking and technically impressive record and they'll say its "mediocre, basic, uncreative and uninspired"
The thing is, when something is popular at the current moment people don't like it. But then when it starts to fade away and becomes a different generation, THEN people start with all the "oh they were brilliant I wish I was born back then"
Freddie Mercury was the complete package and then some. The guy had a great voice and knew how to use it perfectly. He is not overrated. He was just that damn good. He could sing in any genre of music. Unlike some artists who might have a good voice but don't know how to use it. Or there's some genres they just can't sing in.
Mariah Carey actually goes pretty unappreciated for her lower range. She can transition from super deep notes to her trademark high belting seamlessly.
Guadalupe Picasso - I'm sure her voice has changed slightly since she is older now, but for the most part, she can still do the whistle notes and everything.
Same thing with Ariana. They try to discount her singing by saying she can only do high notes (as if those are easy to do), but ignore her many songs with perfect lower note registry. She's not Mariah level yet but she's one of the few excellent vocalists of this generation which doesn't really seem to value vocalists that much. ffs Selena gomez had a 10 year music career.
her super deep notes are not worth the mention. like seriously, who gives a shit? it's unappreciated because it doesn't matter. she doesn't do anything interesting with it.
I'll say, when i became a Prince fan back in 2006-2007, people told me that all the time. "Bit like MJ but worse". Almost no one understood why i was so crazy about him. And now when he's dead, what do you know! There are Prince fans everywhere. Kinda pisses me off, but hey. Better late than never. Never been crazy about MJ. And don't get me wrong, i like a lot of his stuff. But he wasn't a genious the way Prince was.
3 at a push and even then take each of their biggest hits: in what world is Purple Rain similar to Billie Jean? Raspberry Beret to Thriller? This take annoyed me more than it had any right to I didn't think there could be a worse take than the Freddy one, but the internet proved me wrong
I love every Era of Elvis from beginning to end. Fanthony got it right, he was good when he started, but when he came back; he had matured vocally and he a powerful control of his range.
Overrated and Underrated are just stupid words now. They’re straight up used everywhere when people can’t think of any big words to say, or to emphasise how good stans think an artist is.
In my opinion people ONLY compare MJ and Prince because they were both similar in physical appearance. Couldn’t be more different musically the only thing they share is being pop stars but for totally different reasons
the reasons were the same: they were both insanely talented and full of musicality. Not even their styles are different: they were both inspired by James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, Little Richard. Still they were both able to create somethin unique, that's instantly recognizable.
@@richardkovacs2006 Their styles were completely different. For one, MJ collaborated with Quincy Jones who wrote most of his iconic tracks and Quincy Jones, while a genius, had a completely different take on pop, fusing pop R&B with elements of jazz. Prince had a much wider breadth of musical proclivities and borrowed far more from new wave, rock, and funk, as well as jazz. Furthermore, Prince mixed his albums completely differently, allowing different instruments to take center stage, whereas Jones always make Michael's vocals the heart of the track. Fantano is correct that you'll never mistake Prince for MJ sonically. They were completely different.
You’re probably right, I never listened to them growing up and missed their fame years, so basically I just have their appearances and reputation to go off of, which is why I always mix the two up
I agree. They are so stylistically and sonically different and I dont think either of them took the comparisons seriously. People really compared Sign O' The Times and BAD to one another back in the day. That just does a disservice to two amazing artists. I just laugh now, but Prince and MJ had two completely different approaches to their artistry and sought to give their fans two different listening experiences.
Mike Pattons is absolutely not overrated, he's awe inspiringly creative and absurdly versatile technicaly. It's not just the range, it's the willingness to explore and use each and any vocal technique known to mankind
People with brains can refuse to like a certain artist's music, but they cannot refuse the talent. Mariah Carey and Freddie Mercury are far from overrated. They are appreciated as much as they deserve.
People compare Prince and Michael Jackson because they are both eccentric black musical geniuses with a high register voice. Nothing to do with their actual style.
Mrs. Featherbottom there never was. they just loved showing off and one upping each other because they had massive respect for each other’s work. most of the “beef” was made up by fans tryna argue who’s better which is dumb. both of them are talented black kingsss

i think mariah switches between vocal timbres and registers really well and with so much ease. and even with whistle tones, they’re used in the background of some tracks in clever ways. overrated, she is not.
Bob Dylan has never been rated as a good singer, so his inclusion on any "overrated singer" list is a misunderstanding. His fans, myself included, do not listen to his albums for his vocal ability.
Same goes for Lou Reed. Who has ever rated him as a strong vocalist? No one. We listen to him for the songs. Also, his style fits his songs. They're not written to be showcase pieces for vocal or instrumental virtuosity.
Nashville skyline. That album shows his incredible vocals. Also his vocal experimentation is next to none. He would try so many different styles and ways of singing yet you always know its him. But I agree Dylan fans, myself included don't generally listen to his albums for the vocals. He's only the greatest songwriter ever.
His vocals are much more than just about 'range'. He's got versatility and limitless expressivity. Singers like Hank Williams, Neil Young, heck even Springsteen etc. They're still great vocalists. It's a matter of what you value as great singing.
1000%, Bob Dylan was arguably the greatest songwriter of the last century, and even if his voice isn't absolutely spectacular, who cares, that really isn't what draws people to his music
@@lx4half751"isn't absolutely spectacular"... is the understatement of the year. Undeniable great songwriter but the voice went from bad to worst. It wasnt mediocre or tolerable but it is distonct. No need to sugarcoat it, we can still love his music AND do our impressions of him to make our friends laugh when we play guitar. Everyone I know who plays his songs does one.
Freddie Mercury was so good at singing that actual scientists were arguing over just how good he actually was at it decades after his death, so maybe thinking he's overrated is just a matter of personality.
That literally proves nothing. There are far better voices out there. Listen to Peter Murphy, his songs in Bauhaus AND his solo stuff. Incredible deep voice, godly, like no other. Makes Freddie’s voice look basic in comparison. Then listen to Andrew Eldritch and Siouxsie Sioux.
@@TripsX I don't see what that proves either. I love those singers too but calling Freddie 'basic in comparison' is wild. Not only was he a technical marvel but he was incredibly expressive and undoubtedly the best singer Queen could have possibly had.
Prince was one of the most talented artists ever to grace pop music, he could do more than dance and sing, he played A LOT of instruments fluently n excellently for fun
𝔍𝔦𝔪𝔪𝔶 Plus, Prince has all of his production work behind the scenes are many 1980s pop/dance hits. Dude will always be more enjoyable musically and more talented to me. M. J. has some massive hits, but I’ve never liked his music.
both are incredibly talented in their own respects.. I would argue prince was more talented as a musician and songwriter but michael jackson as a performer tops things
Also, Just because its grunge doesn't mean the vocals have to sound like a dying lord of the rings cave troll. Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, and Layne Stanley are some of the best rock singers of all time and they all fall under the grunge genre will providing coherent singing.
Kurt was never aiming to sound technically good lol he started in punk and liked it because of how free it was, and then started a whole new music genre..He did have vocal control though I think he just chose and preferred to practically scream. Also MJ was no slouch either..and he did have actual vocal talent and Prince and MJ had such different styles lol
lol what "new music genre" did Kurt Cobain start!? Kurt was still making, at least in his mind, punk. But he didn't invent, or start, a new musical genre.
@@tera_2024 i mean he was heavy in pushing grunge as that generation’s rock he didnt invent it, but saying he was not influential is, at least in my opinion, kinda dumb

Ed Sheeran, Bob Dylan, Billie Ellish, Lou Reed and others: I've never heard anyone go one an on about them being great singers. They are all great song writers who sing and perform their own songs.
There were two types of people in this video: those that don't pay attention to song writing, and those that listen to music on their phone's speakers. Some of those takes made me wonder if those people needed their ears checked or needed a little bouncing ball to follow along with the lyrics.
I love how the person said that Michael Jackson's voice is annoying, but has a Travis Scott profile picture. Travis Scott is the most noisiest rapper/singer. He has the auotune toggle all the way up and distortion to the maximum.
For the longest time I thought they only had one singer lol. They compliment each other really nicely though. Roger has a sharp, emotional sound, and Dave has that buttery smooth tone with some grit once in a while. Especially on the Wall those two styles work very well for the story and overall sound of the album.
Gilmour has a nice voice. Syd was a good enough singer. Waters....was very lucky to have played second fiddle to either of them but was by no means a singer.
Mariah Carey to this day; even with her voice in her 50s still beats a lot of her contemporaries and even newer female artists when it comes to vocal style and technique.
Anybody who has heard Michael Jackson's raw singing voice. Without going through any sound mixers or special microphones, just his voice straight from him, knows that man could sing. Sure he added the HEHE's and the CHAMOW all over the place, but that's what made him different. Vocally. That man could definitely sing.
Yeah, a truly obscene take. The dude sang his own harmonies. Not pitch shifting or auto-tuning, just doing multiple takes and having it layered onto the track. His range was insane. Go listen to "The Lady in My Life" and "Baby Be Mine" if there's any doubt in your mind. Or go listen to the acapella versions that people have been able to make from stripping the instrumentation out. I swear people are just listening to these artists on their phone speakers or something.
@@TheK1ngFiasco I don't need any convincing. My go to music is usually hard rock, metal, and some blues. I'm usually Metallica Pantera, John cougar, and a bunch of classic rock.

Saying kurt cobain is an overrated singer would imply that people were rating his singing in the first place.
I think he is more overrated because of the story he had, his suicide, the aesthetic boys/girls wanting to romanticize all his depression, that Kurt was a believer in astrology, he liked anime, he was "in favor" of feminism, he wore dresses, etc... Many things that nowadays are considered cool and serve to fit into today's society standars.
@@marinadiamondz He didn't like anime, he didn't believe in astrology, but you are right about being in favor of feminism, but I think why he is considered cool is because he acted like he didn't give a shit about anything and didn't want the stardom.

You shouldn't call Bob Dylan or Lou Reed "overrated" when they are generally not rated as top rate singers. Nobody ever said they were technically great singers. You either enjoy their style and expression or you don't.

LET'S AGREE: If it wasn't for Prince and Michael Jackson being two black pop artists in the 80s, there would be little to no comparison between their music
It’s like cardi b and Nicki Minaj not being able to coexist without being constantly compared and fought over which one “wins”. Wins what?
Exactly. It's all because they're two eccentric artists with similar skin tone.
True. I think its just cause they both were black and basically created the styles of the 80s... and that a lot of artists wanted to sound like them. It would've been interesting to have seen what they would do if they collabed.
Another reason the comparison is made is because many people find that prince is a better vocalist even though he isn’t as popular, so it does make sense to bring it up.

@@dulls8475 lmfao, nah.
I personally like his singing but one of my old roommates genuinely didn't like his voice much, but it wasn't anything to do with range or technical ability, my roommate did respect that he was talented, but it was just his personal taste because Freddie was too nasaly/abrasive for him, which honestly I do understand even though I disagree
@jacobmillen751 not a bad take! I can't hate a take that backs up their opinion with valid points.

Imagine thinking that Freddie Mercury's voice is overrated... Like WTF ? Im not even a Queen fan but there is no denying his raw talent.
Not only that, but he could sing live just as cleanly as his studio performances. I've watched so many live videos of him singing and never heard his voice waver or crack in anyway. And with his energy on-stage, that feat is damn near impossible.
Freddie Mercury can't be overrated, he can only be fairly rated as the greatest Rock singer of all time (Above the likes of Robert Plant, Roger Daltry, Mick Jagger, and even Paul McCartney who I would put at 2nd for rock vocals).
No big Queen fan, always too kitsch for me (I get it that's the point) but damn Freddie could sing and is rightfully recognised as one of the greatest rock singers of all time
Queen might be overrated but Freddie Mercury’s voice is definitely not

None of theses artists and singers are overrated. I'm not fans of all of them but I recognise their immense talent. Sometimes when we are too familiar with an artist and their music is overplayed there is a backlash which is where the overrated arguments come in
Some of these takes are just “I don’t like this and that makes it overrated”
Spot on

I feel like that kinda sums up this whole community, “I don’t like it so it bad”
I have a personal take. There are certain bands that were catapulted into the main stream... Of which I have no examples but hear me out... There are certain bands that could have stayed on the DL and they would have done pretty okay and because they were catapulted off like one good song I believe that sometimes a certain part of these band's audiences will think that they're over rated after putting out a follow up album to all that success and it gets shit on because it's not like [Previous Album]

why are people so dead keen on a wide vocal range? i'd rather have a singer with a unique style than some generic wide range one. not saying a wide vocal range is a bad thing, but it's not a necessity for singers imo.
It's not about necessity, people bring up range because it is impressive and can sound really good if done well. When talking about vocalists range is the thing that let's you stand out. Having a high and powerful voice literally makes you stand out, it's easier to hear. I'm not even being silly here. In a crowded bar or at a concert, the singer with the higher range will be heard better than the one that sings low. There is more to it too, a good song has range in the melody, going up or down creates drama, so singers with good range can have more dramatic and emotional songs.
Of course it's not needed, I like singers who have small ranges too, it's just I don't think of them as amazing singers, I usually like them because they are great songwriters.
I think range helps with tone and versatility, and depending on the individuals it'd certainly contribute to their singing style.
Right. Look at people like Frank Sinatra, he had a range of around D2-G#4 but his voice is one of the best I've ever heard. It's not about how high or low your voice can be, it's what you can do with it.
It's not even a wide range the general population care about. It's just high notes, people don't usually care if you have a wide lower range
Range is meaningless if you aren't doing anything with it.

BRUH. Prince was such a talented musician, he practically had his own genre. Look up "Minneapolis Sound." Whoever said he's a poor man's Michael Jackson is a casual.
IMO Michael is a superior technical singer but not by much. Prince had better range by a decent margin. Prince was a better instrumentalist by large margin but that's true of almost anyone compared to Prince. Michael was probably a bit better of a songwriter but at that point there are no losers.
The idea that either could be a poor man's version of the other is ridiculous.
@@Adamdidit I'm a huge MJ fan but c'mon, Prince's songwriting ability exceeds Michael's by a long shot I think.

It's like comparing David Bowie to James Brown... One was an instrumentalist singer, one was an enigmatic entertainer.

Your pfp is hauting me
love that pfp
Ikr like wtf is wrong with him? Also your pfp ruined my childhood
Yeah that was honestly a pathetically bad take
@@saraa136 Sorry to you, and everyone else about my horrifying pfp. Not really, but yeah. :)
Prince was a musical genius, MJ had a voice from God, Cobain’s gruff delivery kickstarted a genre, Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter of all time, and Freddie was probably the most talented frontman of all time (Chris Cornell and Plant were just amazing as well)
Songwriter hardly, lyricist definetly
@@rubentongiani6198 difference being?
Chris cornell , prince , freddie, plant,mj are irreplaceable singers...
@@simongran5611 There's more to music than lyrics. The greatest songwriter of all time is Paul McCartney. Combination of lyrics and musicianship
You forgot the lead singer of the hollies and yes, i forgot his name.
Michael Jackson was UNDERRATED as a singer. His dance and videos overshadowed his raw singing talent.
Nah, his vocals are widely recognised tbh and when he sings, ppl know it’s him. But yeah, he’s not overrated either.
Correct!
MJ always got credit for his vocals
@@BRobMint literally never, people always talk about his dance moves and think he's a "quite good" singer just because they only listened to the thriller album, real fans know his range was incredibly versatile and one of the greatest, he never gets credit and most people never heard his lowest vocals like in "2000 watts" on the Invincible album... I don't take this youtuber's opinion cause I know he's a MJ hater.
@@didigreen473 I ain’t an MJ hater at all lol
The only reason people think Michael Jackson and Prince sound similar because they have higher voices and use falsetto
Let’s AGREE: those glasses are perfect for you Anthony. Lookin cuter than ever
When hasn't he looked cute????
I agree. Those are nice glasses for him.
Forehead got a nice shine too.
No sir, I think the tank top is making the glasses look better.
Looking like a bbw
i hate how everything nowadays is considered as "limited" "overrated" "basic" nothing is enough for people to be impressed smh its annoying
Kinda true
too many pretentious wannabe critics. you show them a groundbreaking and technically impressive record and they'll say its "mediocre, basic, uncreative and uninspired"
The thing is, when something is popular at the current moment people don't like it. But then when it starts to fade away and becomes a different generation, THEN people start with all the "oh they were brilliant I wish I was born back then"
There's no such thing as basic music, but there are basic uses of music elements
@@thatpinkdudefromstupidtown6040 they mean basic as in average
The Kurt Cobain thing. That's literally his style, grunge, they more dirty and gritty, etc.
He's still a crap vocalist though.
Still cant sing.... :|, rebecca black also cant sing and made hits teehee
Umm Rebecca black was a one hit wonder and millions paid to see Nirvana, So.....
@@ADunc10 he wasn't trying to be a good vocalist.
Cobain is a great singer. Watch Nirvana unplugged. His vocal performance is great in that.
Freddie Mercury was the complete package and then some. The guy had a great voice and knew how to use it perfectly. He is not overrated. He was just that damn good. He could sing in any genre of music. Unlike some artists who might have a good voice but don't know how to use it. Or there's some genres they just can't sing in.
Mariah Carey actually goes pretty unappreciated for her lower range. She can transition from super deep notes to her trademark high belting seamlessly.
Can she still sing like this?
Guadalupe Picasso - I'm sure her voice has changed slightly since she is older now, but for the most part, she can still do the whistle notes and everything.
Same thing with Ariana. They try to discount her singing by saying she can only do high notes (as if those are easy to do), but ignore her many songs with perfect lower note registry. She's not Mariah level yet but she's one of the few excellent vocalists of this generation which doesn't really seem to value vocalists that much. ffs Selena gomez had a 10 year music career.
her super deep notes are not worth the mention.
like seriously, who gives a shit?
it's unappreciated because it doesn't matter. she doesn't do anything interesting with it.
William Alarie - Wow, you seem cranky.
I recommend you listen to "Vanishing".
“Prince is a poor mans Micheal Jackson” Good Job troll, you made it.
I'm genuinely angry just reading your comment repeating it
I've been in the mood to spear people lately. Seems like a good target.
I'll say, when i became a Prince fan back in 2006-2007, people told me that all the time. "Bit like MJ but worse". Almost no one understood why i was so crazy about him. And now when he's dead, what do you know! There are Prince fans everywhere. Kinda pisses me off, but hey. Better late than never.
Never been crazy about MJ. And don't get me wrong, i like a lot of his stuff. But he wasn't a genious the way Prince was.
If you say Prince is a “ poor mans Michael Jackson” I’m willing to bet my life that you haven’t heard more than 5 Prince songs
3 at a push and even then take each of their biggest hits: in what world is Purple Rain similar to Billie Jean? Raspberry Beret to Thriller? This take annoyed me more than it had any right to I didn't think there could be a worse take than the Freddy one, but the internet proved me wrong
James Kilgour As a Prince stan, I found the take to be hilarious
Heard Kiss and that's it
MJ>Prince discography
Adesina Adeniran MJ had less great albums, Thriller is my top 10 of all time but consistent discography wise Prince>MJ.
I love every Era of Elvis from beginning to end. Fanthony got it right, he was good when he started, but when he came back; he had matured vocally and he a powerful control of his range.
"Michael Jackson is the most overrated" - says the Travis Scott fan
He said prince is the most overrated
Hey, nothing's wrong with Travis.
Yeah but MJ’s in a different scale of music though
as a travis scott fan, we dont want him with us, thriller, off the wall, bad, dangerous, michael is one of the greatest, if not the greatest

Let’s AGREE: most of the posts featured in this video do not understand what the word “overrated” means
"I dont like them so that means they are overrated
Brock Larkey Yeah well Cobains voice was also very good and unique
Overrated and Underrated are just stupid words now. They’re straight up used everywhere when people can’t think of any big words to say, or to emphasise how good stans think an artist is.
Akatsiya *_T R U E_*
Except the person that said Billie Eilish they were dead on
In my opinion people ONLY compare MJ and Prince because they were both similar in physical appearance. Couldn’t be more different musically the only thing they share is being pop stars but for totally different reasons
the reasons were the same: they were both insanely talented and full of musicality. Not even their styles are different: they were both inspired by James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, Little Richard. Still they were both able to create somethin unique, that's instantly recognizable.
They were both kind of feminine and gender-bendy
@@richardkovacs2006 Their styles were completely different. For one, MJ collaborated with Quincy Jones who wrote most of his iconic tracks and Quincy Jones, while a genius, had a completely different take on pop, fusing pop R&B with elements of jazz. Prince had a much wider breadth of musical proclivities and borrowed far more from new wave, rock, and funk, as well as jazz. Furthermore, Prince mixed his albums completely differently, allowing different instruments to take center stage, whereas Jones always make Michael's vocals the heart of the track. Fantano is correct that you'll never mistake Prince for MJ sonically. They were completely different.
You’re probably right, I never listened to them growing up and missed their fame years, so basically I just have their appearances and reputation to go off of, which is why I always mix the two up
I agree. They are so stylistically and sonically different and I dont think either of them took the comparisons seriously. People really compared Sign O' The Times and BAD to one another back in the day. That just does a disservice to two amazing artists. I just laugh now, but Prince and MJ had two completely different approaches to their artistry and sought to give their fans two different listening experiences.
Mike Pattons is absolutely not overrated, he's awe inspiringly creative and absurdly versatile technicaly. It's not just the range, it's the willingness to explore and use each and any vocal technique known to mankind
If you're saying Cobain is a bad singer, you're missing the whole point.
Reminds me of people who say that he was a terrible guitar player
@@phoneguy3409 when he can shred but instead chooses to meme by playing his own vocal melody for a guitar solo
Ye lol
Cobain was not a bad singer, he was terrible.
@Chief Keef's cousin No, I just have ears.
People with brains can refuse to like a certain artist's music, but they cannot refuse the talent. Mariah Carey and Freddie Mercury are far from overrated. They are appreciated as much as they deserve.
Fair. I'm not a fan of either, but they are both v good and deserve it
@@poison6084 Freddy’s songs are way better though.
Close my eyes by Mariah Carey lyrically shits on everything released from 2010 to current year
@@stargirl1613 not at all, Idk What Music you listen too. but that is wrong
They are not overrated as singer, but they are overrated as musicians.
LOL Anthony's reaction to the Prince comment was EXACTLY what it sounds like when doves cry.
People compare Prince and Michael Jackson because they are both eccentric black musical geniuses with a high register voice. Nothing to do with their actual style.
God forbid there be two super popular eccentric black musicians. That’s too much power
There was also a sort of tension between them back in there day, wasn’t there? Like there was beef?
Mrs. Featherbottom there never was. they just loved showing off and one upping each other because they had massive respect for each other’s work. most of the “beef” was made up by fans tryna argue who’s better which is dumb. both of them are talented black kingsss
@@mrs.featherbottom5901 no, but prince beefed with rick james iirc.
methyod that would make more sense actually
People have to be trolling just to get on his videos, the prince take is bad

I love how he just flips out fuck you when someone calls Prince a cheap MJ rip-off.
Lol ikr! He was being so civil and that one came up and he was like "...Fuck you"
It was earned
It's true, Prince is not a cheap MJ rip-off, he is however extremely overrated.
@@Cobbido no u
@@JohnsDough1918 Reported for abusive language

i think mariah switches between vocal timbres and registers really well and with so much ease. and even with whistle tones, they’re used in the background of some tracks in clever ways. overrated, she is not.
Exactly. Her pen is unmatched too, she's a fantastic songwriter and has too many hits written by herself to be bad in any way
Let’s Agree: Fantano do be looking ‘thicc as hell boyh’
Quarantines tough who ain't gettin bigger
@Greg B well this is the let's argue statement so you might say he is ..
All about that bass about that bass'
Let’s Agree*
Hes a literal Koloss dude. Meshuggah even made a 2/10 about his stature.
Bob Dylan has never been rated as a good singer, so his inclusion on any "overrated singer" list is a misunderstanding. His fans, myself included, do not listen to his albums for his vocal ability.
Same goes for Lou Reed. Who has ever rated him as a strong vocalist? No one. We listen to him for the songs. Also, his style fits his songs. They're not written to be showcase pieces for vocal or instrumental virtuosity.
Fun Fact: Dylan won three Grammys for vocal performance (Gotta Serve Somebody, Cold Irons Bound, Someday Baby), he can sing when he wants to
@@blahblah7381 he must not want to much, lol
Nashville skyline. That album shows his incredible vocals. Also his vocal experimentation is next to none. He would try so many different styles and ways of singing yet you always know its him. But I agree Dylan fans, myself included don't generally listen to his albums for the vocals. He's only the greatest songwriter ever.
His vocals are much more than just about 'range'. He's got versatility and limitless expressivity. Singers like Hank Williams, Neil Young, heck even Springsteen etc. They're still great vocalists. It's a matter of what you value as great singing.
Let's AGREE: nobody thought Dylan or Post Malone were great singers in the first place, so there's no way they are overrated
Maybe once posty puts out a good rock album we can call him a singer
I think post ain't that bad
1000%, Bob Dylan was arguably the greatest songwriter of the last century, and even if his voice isn't absolutely spectacular, who cares, that really isn't what draws people to his music
@@lx4half751"isn't absolutely spectacular"... is the understatement of the year. Undeniable great songwriter but the voice went from bad to worst. It wasnt mediocre or tolerable but it is distonct. No need to sugarcoat it, we can still love his music AND do our impressions of him to make our friends laugh when we play guitar. Everyone I know who plays his songs does one.
@@lx4half751 very true but that's not the point of the video
Freddie Mercury was so good at singing that actual scientists were arguing over just how good he actually was at it decades after his death, so maybe thinking he's overrated is just a matter of personality.
That literally proves nothing.
There are far better voices out there.
Listen to Peter Murphy, his songs in Bauhaus AND his solo stuff.
Incredible deep voice, godly, like no other. Makes Freddie’s voice look basic in comparison.
Then listen to Andrew Eldritch and Siouxsie Sioux.
@@TripsX I don't see what that proves either. I love those singers too but calling Freddie 'basic in comparison' is wild. Not only was he a technical marvel but he was incredibly expressive and undoubtedly the best singer Queen could have possibly had.
As a massive Michael Jackson fan, that Prince comment was cold man.
And factually incorrect. Bad take.
Prince was one of the most talented artists ever to grace pop music, he could do more than dance and sing, he played A LOT of instruments fluently n excellently for fun
𝔍𝔦𝔪𝔪𝔶
Plus, Prince has all of his production work behind the scenes are many 1980s pop/dance hits. Dude will always be more enjoyable musically and more talented to me.
M. J. has some massive hits, but I’ve never liked his music.
both are incredibly talented in their own respects.. I would argue prince was more talented as a musician and songwriter but michael jackson as a performer tops things
I agree
With Cobain: thats literally the genre. Its grunge. Grunge is supposed to be the dirty, fuck the world kind of rock subgenre.
Yea but that don’t really make him a good singer
@@WillWright-lx4hf but if we like the music, doesn’t that mean he’s good to people that like Nirvana?
He does grunge because he sucks too much to do anything else.
Also, Just because its grunge doesn't mean the vocals have to sound like a dying lord of the rings cave troll. Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, and Layne Stanley are some of the best rock singers of all time and they all fall under the grunge genre will providing coherent singing.
@@Top10Dylan nah maybe he sucked at guitar but if you listen to mtv unplugged he had some great acoustic vocals
Kurt was never aiming to sound technically good lol he started in punk and liked it because of how free it was, and then started a whole new music genre..He did have vocal control though I think he just chose and preferred to practically scream. Also MJ was no slouch either..and he did have actual vocal talent and Prince and MJ had such different styles lol
lol what "new music genre" did Kurt Cobain start!?
Kurt was still making, at least in his mind, punk.
But he didn't invent, or start, a new musical genre.
@@tera_2024
i mean he was heavy in pushing grunge as that generation’s rock
he didnt invent it, but saying he was not influential is, at least in my opinion, kinda dumb
@@tera_2024 Have you heard of a little think called grunge?
@@cynicaldepression435 he's one of the founders for sure but he didnt invent it by far. matter a fact saying kurt cobain invented grunge is as stupid as saying elvis presley is the king of rock

Ed Sheeran, Bob Dylan, Billie Ellish, Lou Reed and others: I've never heard anyone go one an on about them being great singers. They are all great song writers who sing and perform their own songs.
There were two types of people in this video: those that don't pay attention to song writing, and those that listen to music on their phone's speakers. Some of those takes made me wonder if those people needed their ears checked or needed a little bouncing ball to follow along with the lyrics.
Dylan and Reed are great song writers. Sheeran and Eilish: No.
@@winterbird4447 How many songs are you familiar with from Sheeran and Ellish?
@@winterbird4447 Sheeran? He’s one of the best singer/song writers to have ever lived. Are you stupid?
I love how the person said that Michael Jackson's voice is annoying, but has a Travis Scott profile picture. Travis Scott is the most noisiest rapper/singer. He has the auotune toggle all the way up and distortion to the maximum.
Travis is noisy? Have u listened to XXX?
@@leochang3328 I'm not talking about xxx tho
Travis Scott plainly sucks.
@ApeMan5001 he sucks... In every possible way
😂🤣
Prince and Michael Jackson are like Yin & Yang, coexisting in the same time period but being completely distinct to each others styles.
fact: the vocal ability in David Gilmour and Roger Waters needs more acknowledgement. while we’re here we need a Pink Floyd worst to best
I liked Syd Barrett singing the most in Pink Floyd.
For the longest time I thought they only had one singer lol. They compliment each other really nicely though. Roger has a sharp, emotional sound, and Dave has that buttery smooth tone with some grit once in a while. Especially on the Wall those two styles work very well for the story and overall sound of the album.
Gilmour has a nice voice.
Syd was a good enough singer.
Waters....was very lucky to have played second fiddle to either of them but was by no means a singer.
Syd sounded too obviously british for my taste lol
Wade k 21 that was so the charm of piper of the gates
Mariah Carey to this day; even with her voice in her 50s still beats a lot of her contemporaries and even newer female artists when it comes to vocal style and technique.
I want Anthony to play bass while cal raps hot dinner at my funeral is that too much to ask
69 likes, also I agree
ikr they should make an album called rap & bass lol
Anybody who has heard Michael Jackson's raw singing voice. Without going through any sound mixers or special microphones, just his voice straight from him, knows that man could sing. Sure he added the HEHE's and the CHAMOW all over the place, but that's what made him different. Vocally. That man could definitely sing.
Yeah, a truly obscene take. The dude sang his own harmonies. Not pitch shifting or auto-tuning, just doing multiple takes and having it layered onto the track. His range was insane. Go listen to "The Lady in My Life" and "Baby Be Mine" if there's any doubt in your mind. Or go listen to the acapella versions that people have been able to make from stripping the instrumentation out.
I swear people are just listening to these artists on their phone speakers or something.
@@TheK1ngFiasco I don't need any convincing. My go to music is usually hard rock, metal, and some blues. I'm usually Metallica Pantera, John cougar, and a bunch of classic rock.
