Who do you consider over-rated?

Athos I say you are 100% wrong about George Jones, Johnny Cash, Humphrey Bogart.

I stand by my statements. I like George Jones, don't get me wrong, but he is not the greatest ever, as some fans say.He was not impressive in concert when I saw him.
Ray Price and Jack Greene had beautiful voices and they have much less reputation. J Cash has a very distinctive strong voice
but his big hits are boring to me and so many other country stars put more feeling in their songs and have more soul.
Bogart is excellent as a tough guy role (and I am a fan) but he is not versatile IMO
 

Hmm. Tom Jones isn’t a name we hear much anymore. But I saw an interview a year or so ago and was surprised that he’s been married to the same woman since 1957. Wife physically beat him for 'catting around' and Tom said he didn't fight back, just 'took it like a man'.:D I admit I liked a lot of his music and (imo) he still looks good.
 
Glinda, are you sure it's not Clint's politics that bothers you? Just saying because IMO his resume is stellar.

But who's overrated, hmm... Flo from the insurance commercials (getting old, real old), Wendy's red head (boring carnivore), the Trivago guy who can't shave or pronounce Trivago with a T. They must all have great agents but I AM SO TIRED OF THEIR SHTICK! Rant over;)

However, my favorite pick so far is Chris Mathews, now there's a guy who loves the sound of his voice.

Sky King, please re-read what I said in post #1. Yes, I'm sure.

The point of this thread is to state who you think is over-rated, regardless of their media coverage, awards won, fans they've collected, or "stellar resume." It's people you're unimpressed with despite all those factors.
 
When it comes to noted personalities, eventually I get a feeling in my gut as to whether I can or can't stand the individual. It's kind of like my gut trying to respond to the question "Would you buy a used car from this person?" On the negative gut side I am really turned off by Angelina Jolie, her hubby Brad Pitt, Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, Miley Cyrus, and Justin Bieber. There are others but I don't want to seem way too negative so I just wrote the ones that ompletely turn me off.

We all have people we like and dislike , and he's just one I never liked :dunno:I have been to a TJ tribute show on the Gold Coast ( Qld) and his singing was no better ,in fact many walked out of the show...
 
LOL QS, funny, ribbet, ribbet.

Tom Jones was a bit of a sleaze in my eyes, all that gyrating and open shirt and gold medallion, yucky, not my genre at all. And then the women at the concerts threw their panties at him. He came here not too long ago and the by now older ladies lined up to present their panties to him, in ritual fashion. Unbelievable!

I'm no fan of Jones but he was playing to his audience with the dress.
 
Just a friendly reminder to Cookie and everyone else: Please - no politicians or elected officials. Thank you! :)
