Many of us always talk about the "manufactured" stars out there who become major artists and even icons. The ones mentioned are usually women, which is another topic, but those such as Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonce, even Aaliyah and Ashanti.

As much as we talk about them as if it discredits their talent...we know that there are a thousand other artists who were given the same type of mold and didn't succeed for other reasons.

Who are some of these artists that you can think of who were almost "add water and stir" and should have made some impact, but failed? It can be R&B, Pop, Rock, or Rap.
