The most overrated things of the decade?

England's reputation pre the World Cups.

Edit: Also the whole 'I want to be a celebrity' culture, thanks to Simon Cowell (who is also overrated).

You may not like their music, but they most certainly arent average singers (apart from cheryl cole who, lets face it, is ****)

IMO they all sound the same, they dont have a individual style and they lack depth and substance...in comparison to every singer from the last decade they wouldn't make a top 1000 list.

Rihanna sings like a whiney mouse, Beyonce is a fail version of 80's/90's Whitney Houston and was better in Destinys Child, Leona Lewis has such a boring voice and yes, Cole is **** wherever she tries to sing lol

Thats IMO, but the first bit is true!

Jack Wills. Bleurgh.

The Lib Dems.

Wait, do you mean the decade 2000-2009 or 2010-now (which only gives us a year to look at :erm:

)

Almost every single 'singer', and pop culture in general.

Im afraid you are wrong. From those three singers Beyonce is definitely the best, and she has a very strong unique voice (you would be able to tell it was Beyonce if someone didnt tell you)
Rihanna has quite a good voice, however I agree with you, it isnt unique. However just because it isnt unique, doesnt make her an 'average singer'.
Leona Lewis has a very good voice, and is perhaps the best thing to come out of that pile of crap (xfactor). She can hit a range of notes and definitely isnt an average singer. Her songs may not be the most interesting, but there is no denying that she has talent.
Cheryl cole isnt a good singer. I agree
If there was a top 1000 singer list from the last decade, beyonce most definitely would be in the top 100. And I am almost certain Rihanna and Leona lewis would make the list of 1000 singers as well. Who do you think would make the list then from the last decade?
I think you are confusing not liking their music, with them having bad voices.

Facebook, Twitter and other similar sites, like you said.
The vampire thing (inc Twilight) as someone else has pointed out.
Big Brother, X Factor, etc.

Pretty much media related things I guess.
