How can someone with no talent be famous? Fergie, Lil' Jon, James Blunt?

Question

It astounds me, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Dane Cook your not funny! Oh I'm ready to reply to those who get cute.

Cookiemonster I have to wonder how you function normally in society. Because I don't agree with you, you tell me to shut up? For the love of me I can't really wrap my mind around your ignorance. I come on here and ask a question and because we don't agree you think you need to get your jollies off on me? It's kind of obvious but there is something definetly wrong with you. Then you go and embarrass yourself... again by trying to guess what kind of music I listen to. Unlike you I do not listen to crap like you said, I rather leave my crap in the toilet. Don't listen to Korn or Rascal Flatts but I dare you to go down to a small southern town and say that you don't like country. You need to get something straight, just like you can open up your mouth with chapped lips and crooked teeth and show us your incredible display of stupid I have the right to voice my opinions too. And even you care, you did answer my question after all. You were right on one thing, people will WASTE their money

on who they want. I realize we live in a free society and if that's what they want to do then good luck to them. Now go have low self esteem.

Fergalicious lyrics, read this and tell me she has talent. Oh and beauty isn't a talent!
Fergalicious definition make them boys go loco
They want my treasure so they get their pleasures from my photo
You can see me, you can't squeeze me
I ain't easy, I ain't sleazy
I got reasons why I tease 'em
Boys just come and go like seasons

Fergalicious (Fergalicious)
But I ain't promiscuous
And if you was suspicious
All that **** is fictitious
I blow kisses (mmmwwahhh)
That puts them boys on rock, rock
And they be lining down the block just to watch what I got (four, tres, two, uno)

Ok she mixes English with spanish, oh wait here is some talent she rhymes treasure with pleasure, boys just go and come like season, I'm some one who just sees guys as object inspires millions of little girls across america, The chorus has TWO words!!! SO DELICIOUS, and will someone please tell me what in the world is a fergalicious?

But I guess she is not all that dumb, she can spell her name. I'm the F to the E, R, G the I the E. Dagg that is incredible. Let me try I'm the W to the I, L, L to the umm... anyone know how to spell William? My body stay vicious I be up in the gym just working on my fitness. Vicious body working on fitness. Come on people can't you see this? Really there has to be someone out there who isn't that immensily stupid. Even 50 cent nowadays, I miss the old 50, the good 50 who actually was good at making music, and the old eminem.

Answer 1

I have often wondered the same thing! I'm trying to figure it out so I become one of the talentless millionaire celebs myself.

Answer 2

Fergie. The Black Eyed Peas were so better off without her. Fergilicious??

Lindsay Lohan WAS good until she tried to join Paris and Paris' lifestyle. it didnt work and now nobody can remember what she ever did that was good.

Paris Hilton isnt famous for having no talent, shes famous for being a socialite and so basically she is like the spoilt brat everybody knows at high school, except its just in hollywood instead of school, which makes us notice her even more.

So basically they are all rich (from different incomes) and can get their own way.

Answer 3

They can be famous because they are liked by plenty of morons who have no idea what talent really is. You have a few above as an example.
It's pretty funny, even the judges on American Idol are mediocre musicians at best....I was bashing Cowell yesterday. The irony was that his supporters were so damned thin skinned...lol...

Answer 4

The people whom are involved in harrowing, much-publicized events get them famous. You'll never really pay attention to one with true talent. Paris Hilton did something to get herself famous and we all know what that is. I guess she was remembered by that and directors cast her in shows and movies because they thought that Paris would attract people to watch her. She was a young one blooming into the industry, and what better way to get to know her, than seeing her in a movie? So begins the story of the inexperienced, so-called Hollywood fames...

Answer 5

There is someone out there musically for everyone, same for actors, etc. If everyone liked the same thing life would be pretty boring. But just because I'm not into an artist doesn't mean they have no talent, they just don't speak to my tastes.

Answer 6

It is famous because it still gets played a bunch of the radio but it's not popular anymore.

Answer 7

Luck and circumstance. Like Andy Warhol's comments on "15 minutes of fame". Some just have more.

Answer 8

ok...in the question u said some really talented singers:fergie, lil jon, james blunt
1. fergie can sing FERGILICOUS
2. lil'jon can rap
3. james blunt writes good lyrics

but paris hilton, and lindsay lohan
can sit down...because they cant sing

Answer 9

fantastic mangement. they become icons because people want to know the very answer to that question. for example reality tv stars arent able to be as successful as paris hilton. though i mist add some of the stars you have mentioned popularity have been declining.

Answer 10
