I aint saying he's the greatest as far as wordsmiths are concerned, but his catalogue is right up there with the legends. He's 5 albums deep and each with the exception of 808's is a classic. Not to mention everything he's produced. He's left a body of quality work that puts him amongst the top 10 to 15 as far as hip hop artists go.

I would have said Tom Cruise, but I think he pretty much took care of his own over-rating by a few too many trips on the crazy train.

Katy Perry
Britney Spears -- she lip syncs all of her 'live' shows but, have you ever actually heard what she sounds like live? Check out this montage of her direct audio http://youtu.be/BFFrHuwEPGg
EDIT: My point being: if I go to a live show, I want to see a live performer not some auto tuned massaged poser or someone lip synching to their studio recordings. Britney isn't the only popular performer to do this, I just find it amazing that these faux-live shows are so popular, it's all a joke.
enjoy !

No Room For George
CantLeave, I want to tip my hat to you for listing John Wayne. One of the worst, most overrated actors ever. Me personally, true Westerns didn't exist until Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson amongst others started doing them. Wayne's westerns took sucking to a whole new level.

Now about movie folk...
There are movie stars and there are actors. One can be an actor and not be a star. One can be a star and not be an actor. And sometimes the line blurs. One can be a good actor and still be a movie star.
The best actors are usually not big stars. They're too good at their craft to ever get pigeon holed into one charactrer or genre.
John Wayne is/was a movie star. Not a great actor... his characters were pretty much one dimensional. But a star nonetheless.
