? If you like what you're hearing, be sure to listen to the full song at the link below. Creed Number 20. Part of what kept this rock band from achieving even more monstrous success was the reputation they gained as a horrendous live act. The group's leader, Scott Stapp, is famous for ruining sets primarily due to his problems with substance abuse, sometimes forcing the band to end shows early. and other times performing so badly that audiences wished they had done so. In 2003, four concertgoers were so outraged by a poor Creed performance that they sued the group even though the case was eventually dismissed.

The incident cemented Creed's bad reputation and the group never returned. her peak popularity is 19. Lindsay Lohan in the early 2000s seemed like every current or former teen celebrity was trying out the double threat of singer-actor; However, for every Miley Cyrus there are some like Lindsay Lohan whose singing career never took off in the way she expected to hear her say that it has been her lifelong dream for 18 years to record her own album and now she has it, it's called talk it's out tomorrow and she'll be performing her hit single rumors that lindsay lohan's responses to lohan's work were mixed and she didn't do herself any favors when she appeared on good morning america to promote the rumors of her single it was extremely It was obvious that the performance was lip-synced and critics were quick to criticize Lohan, her label issued a statement assuring fans that while there was support for the vocal track that Lohan also sang, people were not convinced, however , the performance became a defining moment in Lohan's foray into music number 18 Carmen Carmen were a later romantically involved husband and wife duo who began finding success performing covers in the duo's YouTube days.

They were finally asked to perform on Saturday Night Live in 2012 and to say it didn't go well would be an understatement. The audience was not impressed by their performance and many criticized the vibe of the duo's stage presence and music. It was also unfortunate that Carmen happened to perform on the night Whitney Houston passed away as people were feeling more apathetic towards her type of sound, reviews of her set were scathing and what could have been the duo's breaking point ultimately marked their destiny number 17 the replacements as a punk band turned alternative is It's no surprise that the replacements had a reputation as a wild card live act.

Now I'm not speaking outside of school when I say they were known as a drinking ban. The group were famous for getting drunk at their own concerts and often turned sets into what felt more like drunken karaoke, ladies and gentlemen, the replacement, while for some this was part of the group's charm, it definitely put off other potential fans and kept them away from mainstream success, the guitarist actually fell while coming out on stage and fell on his guitar and broke his guitar since he was banned from snl for performing as some of the loudest and drunkest musical guests on the show until Playing notoriously the worst set of all time at New York's famous CBGB club, you could definitely say that the replacements were their 16th worst enemies.

The Sex Pistols At the height of Sex Pistol's popularity in January 1978, the The group went on an ill-fated North American tour that would inevitably lead to the dissolution of the band during the tour, tensions within the band leading to rampant infighting and negativity translated into their live shows. This is not fun. At the end of the tour, during a concert in San Francisco, singer Johnny Rotten made it clear that he was done with the project as he spent the set mocking the audience and barely singing. with his band's music and I have the feeling that you have been fooled good night the next day he flew to new york and announced that he was leaving the Sex Pistols the band ended shortly after number 15.

Michelle Surprised Michelle Surprised was never a big star by any means. stretch, but the alt-folk singer had a decent following until an infamous 2013 concert in San Francisco. True to her name, concertgoers were shocked when the singer made clear her feelings toward Proposition 8, the marriage ban. between people of the same sex in California. Alternative folk singer Michelle Shocked is speaking out about her anti-gay tirade over the weekend in San Francisco. The tirade got her kicked off the stage and since venues across the country canceled her upcoming shows. Shocked expressed her belief that marriage is only legitimate between a man and a woman and although she maintained that she was not homophobic many were not convinced that the idea of ​​living my life without him is impossible, true, I know how much I love him and knowing the passion I have for him, would I ever do it?

I want to deny that to anyone at all, so you are not homophobic, if you want to keep this simple for the audience, let me clarify that no, I am not homophobic. Shocked's career quickly fizzled out after these comments, why did Shocked think that? this would fly in san francisco of all places it's a mystery quote i have not said or believed that god hates homosexuals or anyone else i said that some of his followers believe that i believe intolerance comes from fear and these people are genuinely scared number 14. guns and roses despite their status as rock legends guns and roses have earned a reputation as a live band whose performances can range from epic rock shows to sloppy, unrehearsed diva performances oh axel, cool metal guy, rock and roll party, does cocaine, yeah, it's over.

Over the years, Guns and Roses have played a number of sets they'd probably rather forget. Examples would be a concert in 1991 where a visibly drunk slash was barely able to play the opening rift to welcome the jungle and a performance in 2010 in Dublin where the group were booed off stage in response to Axel Rose's volatile attitude. towards the crowd. The group also has a habit of starting their shows hours late, which along with the inconsistency of their

musicians

hip has led them to lose much of their 13th credibility. Robin Thicke Following the release of his 2013 single, Blurred Lines , Robin Thicke's career took off, crashed, and then burned in a short period of time.

The song itself for which he was later sued by Marvin Gaye's estate was part of Thicke's problem with many critics arguing that the lyrics were misogynistic and trivialized consent, however it was Thicke's live performances in the following months that that really sank his career. Thicke performed an outrageously vulgar and unanimously hated live performance of blurred lines at the VMAS with Miley Cyrus shortly after Thick's wife, Paula Patton, dumped him in response. He begged her to take him back in later live performances and even released an album called Paula, this only further alienated people from the rather embarrassing shooting star Robin Number 12.

Miguel is part of the reason why he didn't. You know none of this once it's on the rise. The r b singer perhaps in part because of this incident at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, Miguel landed on a couple of fans while trying to dive, injuring two of them. One of the fan's lawyers spoke to TMZ about a possible lawsuit immediately after the incident, but that lawsuit never materialized. The other fan nevertheless filed a lawsuit against Miguel in 2015 to help cover the cost of his medical bills and lost wages. For any artist, a lawsuit is a bad look and for Miguel the stage jumping incident became something that people still remember about his career.

I am very happy to bring my new friend Chiaty. We just met. Yes. Unfortunately, we didn't meet under the best of circumstances. Number 11. Greta Van Fleet in 2018. Greta Van Fleet captured the world's attention with nostalgic rock anthems they heard. Throwback to the days of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, ladies and gentlemen, Greta Van Fleet at the height of her popularity in early 2019. Greta Van Fleet appeared on You Guess It snl to give America a taste of the associated rock spectacle with the bands that inspired them. However, the set was disappointing to say the least, the band's sound was muddy, the song seemed poorly rehearsed and all members seemed extremely nervous and embarrassed on stage, making the performance extremely awkward.

Time will tell if the group is able to recover from the negative press they received from this performance number 10. Eric Clapton, one of the most prolific rock musicians of all time, Eric Clapton is famous for his role in bringing the blues to Britain. , you would hope that someone with such a fondness for blues music would have a better understanding of its history and to me it sounded like they were in a fantasy land. I mean, for me, look, you know you, maybe the cotton plantations and fields would have been a place of abject misery and hardship for me.

It was heaven in 1976, during a concert in Birmingham, Clapton went on a rude and hateful rant that included several racial slurs, said all foreigners should leave England, encouraged people to vote for a far-right politician and used the slogan "keep Britain white", possibly the worst moment. It was a ride home on the bus on the top deck of the bus with my friend because we couldn't really talk about it, it was something that came between our friendship and in fact the friendship never recovered to tell you the truth is that This concert immediately sparked outrage throughout England and many artists denounced Clapton and inspired the anti-racism rock movement.

Oh no, half your music is black. You are the biggest colonialist in rock music. You are a good musician, but where would you be without blues in r b? You have to fight against the racist poison, otherwise you would degenerate into the sewer with the rats and all the money they swindled from rock culture. Sly Stone's number nine vocalist, Sly Stone, was the leader of one of the most respected funk groups. acts of the sixties don't hate the black don't hate the white if they bite you just hate the bite however the careers of sly and his band the family stone quickly imploded in the mid-70s the group became famous for ruining live performances with Members did not refuse to perform or pass out from drug abuse, while this already added a bittersweet taste to Sly's legacy.

The vocalist dealt a fatal blow to his career while performing solo at Coachella in 2010 sporting a strange blonde wig and clearly in no state of mind. perform sly delivered a weak and sad set with poor vocal work and incoherent rantings, unfortunate considering this performance was meant to mark the return of sly, wait, wait, wait, wait, hello ladies and gentlemen, would you mind please? Please be very quiet, shut up, number eight, janet jackson? and justin Timberlake, this is just unfortunate. Janet says this will be the first and last time she will talk about what happened that day at the 2004 Super Bowl musical.

Musical guest Janet Jackson experienced what was later described as a wardrobe malfunction in At the End of Her performing together, Justin Timberlake ripped off Jackson's rubber bra, briefly exposing her breasts to millions of stunned viewers. He had to take and tear off the piece. He did the lyrics well, but it came out more than it was supposed to. to achieve it and we would just see the red yes there and he ripped it all out while this ending was being planned. Jackson's representative claimed that he was supposed to expose her red lace bra, not his chest, called a nipple gate.

The incident prompted a proposed $550,000 fine imposed by the Federal Communications Commission that had banned MTV from producing future halftime shows and caused Jackson's music and videos to be blacklisted by radio and television stations. , effectively ending their career number 7 the everly brothers ah brotherly love pop country legends the everly brothers were instrumental to the history of American music with dozens of hits throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Sadly, the years were not kind to siblings Dawn and Phil, whose careerIt slowly declined until one fateful night in 1973. When Don showed up to play with the established duo on the sidelines of the California Phil.

He was furious to discover that his brother was completely drunk after a booking agent had to stop the show due to Dawn's condition. Phil smashed his guitar and stormed off stage as Don proclaimed that he was done with being an eternal brother halfway through the third song. Don's voice stopped and I was on and Phil grabbed that brother's guitar and it was almost like he stood on tiptoe and had that guitar up like that and he threw it on the floor and that guitar exploded, they wouldn't get together for another 10 years I think we needed the time apart from each other we had never been apart we had been working together we have been tied together singing into a microphone for 20 years so that's a long time for two young people to be pushed and held together and you know you have to find each other yourself and go do other things and your own identity number six, maroon 5, travis scott and the big boy, accepting the 2019 halftime concert was in itself a bad look for maroon 5 travis scott and the big boy as rihanna Pink and Cardi B reportedly turned down their offers to perform in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick.

On top of that, it was hinted that the performance was going to include a version of SpongeBob's Sweet Victory. The performance only made a passing reference to the SpongeBob SquarePants episode. before abruptly switching into sick mode, further irritating an already skeptical national audience, while all the artists involved are still doing well, they certainly earn themselves some lasting ill will due to the halftime show they probably should. To start, I played, read the room guys, number five, fergie. Fergie's solo career has had its ups and downs since she split from the Black Eyed Peas, she has had some huge hit songs and although she never reached the heights of stardom that she sought.

She was never irrelevant either, however, after her performance of the American national anthem at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game, it can be safe to say things are over because singer Fergie's baffling rendition of the banner full of stars was surprisingly bad. that many of the stars were having trouble containing themselves and could be seen holding back a laugh on camera, the performance immediately became subject to severe ridicule, number four, the girls, I was just pointing out that we are Americans and that even from texas and we disagree with the president during a concert in england in 2003 the lead singer of the chicks then known as the dixie chicks natalie maynes denounced the us invasion of iraq and lamented that president bush was leaving his home state of texas this was good in England, but it sparked a huge controversy in the US, where many felt these comments were un-American at the time, there wasn't necessarily thought given to what I meant, you know, everything I say on stage always has some meaning, but looking back.

In it, you know, everyone called me unpatriotic and said I didn't support the troops because I didn't support the war. Celebrities and fellow musicians criticized the group. People burned his records and some radio and television stations boycotted his music. Sad things came to you. I know right down the street we would see the kids at those rallies stomping on our CDs or there was a mother holding her two-year-old son outside the show protesting and um she turned around and told our cameras to move them, to move them. fuck for years, this controversy was a huge obstacle for the girls' career, although it seems that the group has begun to make a well-deserved comeback, even changing their name in 2020 due to its historical connotations number three sinead o'connor clarity is key when you are making a point and how In fact, the media is engaging in massive violations of human rights when it comes to how they write about anyone they diagnose without qualification as mental or anyone they believe suffers from a disease.

Ask someone from the late '80s. Icon Sinead O'Connor, at the end of her infamous 1992 performance on Saturday Night Live, O'Connor tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II and declared fighting the real enemy in protest against the catholic church. Fighting the real enemy while the act was O'Connor's response to several stories that had just come to light about corruption and misconduct within the institution many viewers misinterpreted his call to action, it was seen as anti-Catholic sentiment and The reaction was brutal with O'Connor's record sales in the United States. suffer considerably that was all I did on planet earth, that's where I would be, I would be happy, I think it was very important and artistic and people often forget the song that went with it, you know, but O'Connor continued to make music and she acts but her career has never fully recovered number 2 ashley simpson another snl mishap albeit infamous for very different reasons in 2004 ashley simpson was making a name for herself with a couple of big radio hits until it all fell apart during a performance calamitous During Simpson's second song of the night, it was revealed that the singer had lip-synced her previous performance when the incorrect vocal track was played on the monitors without Simpson mouthing it once again Ashley Simpson, unsure how to react, Simpson visibly shaken he tried to cut the tension by dancing awkwardly until the show cut to commercials ladies and gentlemen, what exactly can I say on live TV?

I feel so bad that my band started playing the wrong song and I know what to do so I thought I'd do a hoedown. Sorry, while it is doubtful that Simpson's career would have set the world on fire, this incident certainly removed all doubt, we moved on with the media mercilessly vilifying and mocking the young artist.

Well, girl, you know it's true, it can only mean Millie Vanilli, perhaps the most notable lip sync scandal of all time. German French R B duo Millie Vanilli shocked the world when the recording of their vocal tracks skipped during a live MTV performance in 1989.

I wanted to die. It stopped right, you know it's good, you know it's good, eighty thousand people, girl, you know, it goes, you know, I couldn't repeat it fifteen times, girl, so I stopped, I panicked, I ran off the stage and I was already bad look for the duo. Things only got worse. For them, as this incident led to the revelation that all of the vocals on all of their live shows and albums were performed by other people, the group was subsequently trashed by the media and former fans, forcing Millie Vanilli to return the Grammy they had received. had gained that same year phone calls huge rumors that you don't sing on a record you have to lip sync in front of half a billion people, if you don't lip sync correctly it's like oil on the fire, so we were like we were scared, right?

Who told the record company and the producer about your live performance? Singer Rob Pilatus would later say a quote.
