Justin Bieber

Jay-Z
It hasn't been a good week for Jay-Z. First, he lost Rolling Stone's "King of Hip-Hop" title to Eminem. Then, pop singer Sabrina said he was "overrated."
-
Beyonce
Beyonce is both beautiful and talented … but comparing her to Michael Jackson is a stretch.
-
Lady Gaga
Gaga is definitely original and she really can sing, but some critics say she's just a weirder version of Madonna.
-
Rihanna
Rihanna is the queen of auto-tune, and sometimes it does sound like a robot is singing her songs.
-
Jennifer Lopez
We love looking at J-Lo, but who decided she was a talented enough singer to judge "American Idol"?
-
Taylor Swift
Critics have slammed Swift's live performances, including her duet with Stevie Nicks at the 2010 Grammys. However, we think she -- and her songs -- are very cute.
-
Katy Perry
Perry knows how to have fun with a pop song, but sometimes we want to blow our brains out after listening to "California Gurls."
-
Justin Bieber
The big question: Will Bieber still be popular when he's not a "Baby" anymore?

First, he lost Rolling Stone's "King of Hip-Hop" title to Eminem. Then, pop singer Sabrina said he was "overrated."
(Full disclosure: We've never even heard of Sabrina, but apparently she wrote a song called "I Want to Shoot Lady Gaga.")
"I can tell you who I think is overrated," Sabrina told SOHH.com. "Jay-Z. Definitely. My fiance is a huge fan and he quotes lyrics and I'm just like, 'Dude, that's not even smart.'
"I miss his old stuff," she continued. "[I saw] videos of him when he was just starting, when he wasn't really well-known and he can really rap. I didn't realize he could. He always sings off beat, you know? He can really rap but I just wish he could go back to that style that he first started out with. That was hot. What he does now, I don't feel it at all -- I really don't feel him at all."
Whoa -- she really didn't mince words.
But Jay-Z is not the only music mogul who seems a bit, well, over-hyped lately. The rapper recently compared his wife, Beyonce, to the late Michael Jackson, which had some people crying foul.

+16I'm so over Beyonce and her "girl power" bull crap. Her marriage to Jay-Z was a complete and utter business decision. That video is the worst music I've ever seen....whoever produced that or thought it was good is a fool.
And Taylor Swift's music is glorified.
Although, she creates her own hype with her outlandish outfits and lifestyle.
