It's only 12 year-old girls who like her. Totally agree about the Beatles though.

Oh, wasn't "300" one of the worst movies ever made in the history of movie-dom??!

It was like a mildly pornographic video game for 45-year old men.

50. Mine
Edited on Sun Aug-03-08 10:55 PM by mvd
1. James Blunt
2. The Dark Knight
3. iPhones (would never want one)

Before it might be music critics, but really, not many pay attention anymore. People are realizing they need to judge for themselves. For example, I judge Slant Magazine's review of Sugarland's Love On The Inside to be hogwash. The review is full of contradictions and cliches, plus doesn't make much sense - the more acoustic sound is one of the many things that makes the CD stand out in mainstream country. Within the confines of the genre they have their own sound. I thought the album is one of the year's best.

It's not the first crap review from that reviewer - he gave the Dixie Chicks' Taking The Long Way a HALF star! The whole site is pretentious, really. I got into some good arguments with one of the other reviewers - Sal. He's also a terrible reviewer IMO.

62. Reba's politics are certainly horrible
I think she was very good musically for a long time. I admit to liking some Britney songs, but she is more popular than many better artists.

If I had to make a top 3 LEAST overrated, 3 of them would be:

The Beatles
Mexican food
The Simpsons
