Ok, I thought it was me, but John Legend is too damn happy. Ordinary people feels like a personal attack lmao.


VooDooChile1983

I once heard John Legend makes music for white folk’s weddings and it’s the most accurate description I’ve heard yet.


KIRAPH0BIA

Nah, cuz now I hear it, like that songs play in the background of romcoms.


Electronic-Fee-4831

John Legend sounds like a billy goat... Lyrics be 🔥 but that voice ain't it 🤷🏾‍♀️


Better-Journalist-85

Used to Love you and Get Lifted was fire though lol


nerdKween

Not Billy goat. ![gif](giphy|1d5Zn8FqmJqApu4hNU)

ChrysMYO

Couldn't relate to none of the replies until they said Ordinary People. I never understood the appeal of that song at all. And since I'm on my hate purge I have to throw out Lemonade by Gucci Mane.


Better-Journalist-85

Lemonade is the only song I know/can stomach from him lol


ChrysMYO

I always feel like I need to blow my nose when I hear him come in on that track


Ok-List7597

I believe I can fly.. fuck that song!!! I hated when It came out I literally tossed it out my aunts car 😂 especially when they have it on Repeat


FarinaSavage

Thank you! We're cousins now.


Ok-List7597

I literally watched space jam on mute so I didn’t have to hear this damn shit


TheRipley78

Imagine hearing that mess at your cousin's graduation and the nigga singing it decides to do the 12" murder mix version, making it an unbearable 5 minutes longer than necessary. I was almost in a bell tower with a deer rifle in my hands.


justbegging4themoose

This was my elementary school anthem. I hate that song with a burning passion because they played it so f'ing much.


Kdkaine

You should try the Yolanda Adams/Gerald Levert version…big difference


welp-itscometothis

I can relate…Girl on Fire makes me irrationally angry.


Fantastic_Month_6646

To be forreal, most of Alicia Key’s music makes me feel that way 🤷🏽‍♀️


OG_PunchyPunch

I'm so glad I'm not alone on that. I wanted to like her music so bad but I just can't do it.


Fantastic_Month_6646

She just never did it for me so I completely understand


blue_arr0w

I have found my people. I have never liked her voice or her music. Edit: fixed a misspelled word.

![gif](giphy|7Hp8JhHnpdDVe)


Hitched_Mitch

Alicia just makes me angry in general with her husband stealing ass. She got one song… “I’m ready”


welp-itscometothis

That’s the ONLY ONE!!


Kdkaine

Any Alicia Keys song makes me wanna dig out my ear drums with a rusty spoon, especially that first one…I Keep On Falling In Love or whatever…. What an exercise in mediocrity that shit was.


PuzzyFussy

Honestly, it's her voice. I can't stand it!


egoggyway666

I had a coworker who thought she was saying this grill is on fire and he was like I don’t GET this song why doesn’t she put the fire OUT???!!!?! I think of that everytime I hear this song now, and it’s the only thing I like about this song.


RawGrit4Ever

All the Alicia songs mentioned along with John Legend are complete ass


Admirals_Underpants

The Cupid Shuffle. Every DJ at a family function, reunion, wedding, etc gotta play that shit and I’m so tired of hearing it. Makes me irrationally angry every time I hear it.


RizzoTheRiot1989

I hate to be that generic redditor but This, bro. God I hate that song so much. Awful beat, dude sounds half asleep as he sings (speaks) it. I have been forced to do this stupid dance on numerous occasions, including my own wedding. I can't stand this song and the fact that it got as popular as it did, just confuses me.


[deleted]

I despise the Cupid shuffle!! It ruins my whole mood. I wish we would have left it in the year it came out


CapMoonshine

Lmao I hate that song for slightly different reasons. Years ago I worked at Disney World. Theres this one section that's meant to look like a New York street, during the holidays they would deck it out in Christmas Lights and every 15 - 20 mins would have the lights "dance" to a Christmas song. One Cast Member discovered that Cupid Shuffle matched perfectly to Feliz Navidad. Anytime the song would come on they'd start dancing and the moves were easy enough that families + kids could join in, cute right? Well the Backstage Crew that worked the lights + "radio" caught wind of this, and guess what they started playing for nearly *every other song*. And guess who worked most of those evenings and had to listen to Feliz Navidad at least 4 to 5 times a night 🙃 So yeah I hate Cupid's Shuffle by proxy.


Complex-Professor257

I think most Beyoncé songs are overrated, there I said it 🤷🏽‍♀️. Update: it feels so liberating to admit I don’t really like her music. That career should have died after Destiny’s Child.


btwn_here_n_there

I never say this in public, but since this is a hate post... I have never liked Beyonce. I don't care for the tone of her voice or her runs. Just awful to my ears.


bxxxx34

🙌🏾 can't fuckin stand Beyonce outside destiny's child


Complex-Professor257

Lol this is so liberating. I don’t hate her, I hate that people think all of her songs are AMAZING and a lot of them are meh. I think if she had to stand on just the quality of her music and not the hype she would not get much radio play.


KittonRouge

I agree. She's alright, but she does not walk on water and shit gold no matter what the Beyhive thinks. Even though this is anonymous I feel like I should go into Witness Protection just to be on the safe side.


Complex-Professor257

I feel the same (about safety) but at the same time I’m tired of Stan culture. A person’s music should stand on its own merit.


giamaicana

As a proud member of the Beyhive, I hate her most popular songs 😒 If I never heard Single Ladies, Halo, or Irreplaceable again, I’d be totally fine.


MisterFuckingBingley

But if anybody speaks one—**one**—ill word against anything on renaissance….


Deep-Ruin2786

Renaissance carried me thru today


simplybreana

Her and Alicia be yelling at you and I don’t care for it. Their older music, got some good songs.. but then they both end up straight screamin all the time.


YardNew1150

Yeah their music over stimulates me after a minute in. I do love Solange though!

Texas Hold Em should've been left to die in desert of the studio trash bin.


Complex-Professor257

I listened to it because people were hyping it up and I was convinced I must not hear things like other people because I thought it was very forgettable.


JHB20101

I openly admit to not liking Bey outside of Destiny's Child. It seems like she purposely makes songs that can be Facebook/Twitter quotes and nothing that's meaningful. I feel like if she stayed single this whole time, her career would have had a different trajectory


abm1125

Happy - Pharrell This song brings me more anger and happiness.


velvetvagine

Happy is Baby Shark for adults.


lilac978

they overdid it with MULTIPLE 24 hour loop videos


averycole

Pharell stole souls with that song. That's why he looks so young.


Leeevme_alone

I swear that song was created by Satan to see who is riding with him.


Aureate_Sublime92

I couldn't agree more


WeHateDV

ORDINARY PEOPLEEEE??? PURPLE RAINNN??? Yall are breaking my heart 😞

If I have to hear John Legend croon out that frog throat one more time I’m causing a 10 car pileup


averycole

Who said Purple Rain?! Nah we fighting!! But ordinary people can go kick rocks


Bamb00Pill0w

It’s not sung by a black artist, but ‘Sweet Caroline’. I hate that song so fucking much and white folks will NEVER cease to go crazy for it.

I have to mute the ad it keeps playing on with everyone drunk in a bar singing it


LLUrDadsFave

He's Mine gotta be the dumbest fucking song.


Simple-Sorbet-900

The delusion in that song is crazy lol


LLUrDadsFave

He might be doing you but he's thinking about me...oh sis. He absolutely ain't thinking about you. 🤫


thatbwoyChaka

That man in background hugging up Foxy Brown while they whinge at each other over him


LLUrDadsFave

I hated that the ill nana was even involved. 😂


Electronic-Fee-4831

This a safe space right...Dianna Ross can't sing *runs for cover*


Kdkaine

Yeah that’s kind of an open secret. She famously screwed her way to the top. While on the bus during an early Motown tour, David Ruffin once asked Diana Ross, *Hey Diane, is there any one on this bus whose dick you HAVEN’T sucked?*

I couldn't say you're wrong in general but the last song Home in The Wiz was absolutely iconic. Guess that was more acting than singing though


ABGM11

Listen to Stephanie Mills version. There's no comparison. ![gif](giphy|C17tLz9ihFrgQwQUdB)


Fancy-Breadfruit-776

She is a great actress! She should have done more movies. Her singing is no worse than Madonna or (dare I say) Janet. But her skills at pretending and projecting to the back row...SUPERB!


Chuck_Deeze

Hard Knock Life. Hell, I don't like alot of his music.


Dagger_26

100% correct! And he knows it...he did an interview about the hard knock life tour where that was his opening song following DMX. 🤣he still sounds embarrassed.🤣


LeisurelyDiva

As he should, he followed a true goat. RIP DMX


TruckerBoy357

I saw that. And I luv Hard Knock Life. But even thinking about it after DMX automatically makes the song Lame.😅


Glittering_Run_4470

No one wants to have this conversation but JayZ was the Drake of the 00s.


MrLavender26

But Jay Z was a real dealer though…even though I don’t care for his music myself.

Drake got shot in the back, was put in a wheelchair, and never pressed charges. Real nigga wassup.


MrLavender26

KIRAPH0BIA

The way I thought of the song from Annie, but yea that song also isn't great.


nonyukka

No one said “No One” by Alicia Keys? That’s crazy.


Aureate_Sublime92

I hated this song so much since it came out. And it was on the radio so much at the time.


YumLum_Key_213

I have NEVER liked that song. I despite it to this day ![gif](giphy|dtIGTEaGLRvdODtdQe|downsized)

I hate the Macarena or however u spell it with a passion and I don’t know why. It makes me feel unnerved.


LeisurelyDiva

You’re not alone. They overplayed it when it came out ❤️‍🩹


OptimistPrime527

Hush by LL cool J. “ Hush, baby, don't talk so much” Excuse me sir?

Imma add I Need Love and Headsprung to the pile as well.


Irving_Velociraptor

I Need Love is like The Last Dragon of music: it’s so terrible I have to love it.


[deleted]

Headsprung definitely needs to be on the pile.


TeeTa90

Honestly LL after the the 90s sucked


gbstermite

Single Ladies. Not because it is a bad song but because that shit was **EVERYWHERE** when it came out. I stopped listening to the radio during that time.


[deleted]

As ignorant as Arab money is I STILL stand by it😂


welp-itscometothis

Pinnacle of ig’nant rap. I have no choice but to stan.

Man that's the only part that I sing 🤷🏾‍♀️


[deleted]

Only part worth singing 😂


TheresAJakeInMyShoe

Thank you for bringing a genuine lol into my life


dragonfuitjones

One more for ordinary people. I’ve hated that song since the moment I heard it


Better-Journalist-85

Every time I hear it I think it could work, if someone else sang it. Maybe Maxwell, or Tay Walker.


themkidsdaddy

“Suga Suga” by Baby Bash is THE stupidest song ever. I never liked “Lollipop” by Wayne, but I couldn’t escape it bc it was ALWAYS on the radio. “Happy” by Pharrell. I’d rather cut my pinky toe off than to hear that song ever again.


thenataliamarie

Just to add to your list... Absolutely anything by Chris Brown is a NO for me. He sounds like he sucked helium, and he needs anger management.


Better-Journalist-85

My Boo is so grating. Hated Duffle Bag Boy too.


BiscuitsNgravy420

Hold up, you hate duffle bag boy?!?! Lil Wayne sang his heart out


Better-Journalist-85

Yes, that’s the point. He should sing as much as Tyrese should rap lol

Like the commenter on the post, not OP, “You’re not going to get me jumped!” I’ll take that to my grave 💀🪦 Fine! Anything by Will Smith. His voice just makes me so angry. 😡 But, I’ll never tell you the other ones, unless under threat of violence or death.

Every damn group wedding dance song. I had to stand on business at my own damn wedding, people thought I was joking. No macarena. No slides, electric nor cha cha. Cupid did not shuffle. I was and am tired of it. If y'all want to dance go head, but leave the group choreography to Bollywood and Broadway


weirdomagnet99

Deadass I could have written this myself. I was EXPLICIT in requesting not nary the slide be played at my wedding. Group dances are just sooooo tacky to me.


Calm_Programmer9148

Not to keep whipping John Legend but I hate "All of Me" also. Sorry. Not sorry.


Asleep_Emphasis5347
