Okay, so here are
10 Musical “Artists” That The World Really Doesn’t Need in some writer's opinion. I pointed out Lady Gaga and the "winner" of this non flattering list - Rihanna (because they have the biggest stanbases here and it would be too long to read the whole thing). Do you think this guy has told the truth about them? A side question: Do you people also feel like we are living in Rihanna's world where a singer named Lady Gaga was popular once?

9. The Black Keys

6. Jessie J
5. Lady Gaga
Back in 2008, Lady Gaga was huge. Her music was cool and edgy, and her fashion style was unique. Then people started to think, “wait, haven’t we seen this before? Oh yeah, that’s right… Madonna.” Then Lady Gaga released her first single, “Born This Way”, from her highly anticipated second album, and people realised they had heard that song before – “Express Yourself” by Madonna.
Her second album was a lot safer and middle-of-the-road than her debut album; meanwhile, Gaga’s fashion sense got crazier and wackier,
but people didn’t really care about that anymore. Gaga has made it no secret that she is heavily influenced by David Bowie, not just musically but stylistically too.
But David Bowie’s style was incorporated into his music, which offered something completely original at the time. Lady Gaga’s style has nothing to do with her music, and is nothing more than seeking attention for publicity.
As original as Lady Gaga seemed when she first hit the scene, we have learnt that she is merely copying Madonna’s early strategy for fame.
Redeeming Feature: Underneath all the clothing and make up, there is actually some talent in Lady Gaga. I have seen her do a few low-key performances with just her and a piano, and it is actually quite impressive. She is also quite heavily involved with the writing of her songs. Her next album will likely decide how successful the rest of her career will be.

3. Nicki Minaj
2. Rita Ora
1. Rihanna
In my eyes, Rihanna represents everything that is wrong in today’s music industry. She has manufactured meaningless songs written for her by teams of writers, she desperately grabs for publicity with non-music related stories, she sexualises the hell out of everything she does in order to sell her music, and most importantly, she is not a good singer.
I make absolutely no effort to listen to her songs or hear about her personal life, yet I find myself familiar with a lot of her music, and am usually semi-up to date about her relationship status with Chris Brown, due to the media’s endless bombarding streaming of her music and gossip surrounding her. To me, she proves that if you throw enough money into marketing anybody and make them dress like a stripper, even someone with a nasally singing tone, then they can be commercially successful.
Redeeming Feature: I guess being thrust into the spotlight at the young age of 16 is going to take its toll on most people in later years. Perhaps this meant she was never fully able to grow up, which would explain why she immaturely posts pictures of herself taking drugs on the internet. I knew people who did that kind of thing when they were 15. It’s not big, and it’s not cool. It’s actually incredibly lame.
