How tf is Morgan winning? He's a really good artist. Yeah I know he's a dumpster fire of a person, but that shouldn't matter for this. We're talking about the music here. Also let me point out he's not even the worst person on this list. That's Gabby Barrett. She's racist AND homophobic. As for my answer, this is an unpopular opinion but The Zac Brown Band. Sorry, I just can't stand these guys. Knee Deep is one of the worst songs I've ever heard, and Chicken Fried is really bad too.Really?? Sorry but I just have to say that's rather surprising that you'd hate The Zac Brown Band but really like Morgan. Especially Knee Deep, that's probably my favorite song of theirs and one of my favorite country songs ever (such a fun, feel good song), and it (as well as most of their music, at least earlier on), had strong critical praise, certainly more than Wallen it seems! But of course you're entitled to your opinion.
As for my answer, there's not really many mainstream country artists I hate or really dislike, there's usually some songs I like from every artist and of course a looot of mediocrity, but if I had to choose I'd go with Morgan.

The hands down most mediocre artist in this lineup considering the length and breadth of their catalog and amount of success is hands down Jason Aldean. He churns out the same exact stale album every 2-3 years, *maybe* slaps 1 or 2 decent tracks on it that aren't complete retreads of everything else he's already done, and then everything is a #1 hit and he sells out arenas somehow when his performance skills include never cracking a smile. idgi. Luke Bryan would be a close second, but he's offered slightly more originality than Jason in terms of having a few more singles with unique ideas. Morgan is obviously the worst one here as a person, but a few of his songs are at least tolerable for me. Music-wise, Jason Aldean is the worst for me. I hate pretty much every song I've heard from him so he gets my vote. Morgan Wallen said the N word once, apologized for it, and then later donated $300,000 to the Black Music Action Coalition. Jason Aldean has worn literal blackface for Halloween and has a notably transphobic wife that he got with after he was caught cheating on his first wife -- who was his high school sweetheart & mother of his 2 young (less than 10 y.o.) daughters -- w/ her in a public bar. ^Exactly what he said!!!! Guys, let's ask ourselves if he never got caught or received backlash for saying the n word, would he have still donated money??? Right! The answer is no, that was a PR and y'all fell for it. One thing I do not appreciate is excusing racist remarks or trying to make it seem like Morgan isn't all that bad. As the post above me stated, he has said he said it multiple times before he got caught. Anytime a person, says the n word in a moment of rage, do note that they use it quote regularly. And even if he did, say it once, that doesn't make it better. Secondly, Jason and Morgan are no better than the other. Just because one got backlash for something racist and the other didn't does not make one better than the other. This just shows how s**tty they both are. Also, if you are not black and you are speaking on Morgan saying the n word and you are on the WRONG side. Hush, and keep it to yourself. This is just a general statement,and not aimed at anyone in particular, so if you feel offended....a hit dog will holler. I was just responding to one of many comments that paint Morgan Wallen as THE ultimate villain while dismissing someone like Jason Aldean who I would argue is quite literally worse based on multiple things he's done or associated himself with. The person I quoted ( SabrinaFan ) even edited her post in response. I don't think Wallen is a great person either and never said he was, but there's been quite a few interesting comments here about who is worse from an ethics standpoint. Several people have picked Gabby Barrett as well which is even more confusing to me seeing as she's literally done nothing by comparison to either of them besides just... be Republican. As for the donated money, sure it was a PR stunt and only because he got caught and received backlash for his actions, but the Black Music Action Coalition got $300,000 richer because of it which is at least something to celebrate. It doesn't matter who the money comes from or why it happened, it still went to a good cause. Jason Aldean never gave any money to black people after he dressed up as one for Halloween and then said the world is just too sensitive these days. 🥴 tl,dr version: Neither are great people, I just think a lot of people are focused on Morgan Wallen because he's the current face of country music and most recently taken heat for problematic behavior, but Jason Aldean done been a trashy human since before Wallen was even in Nashville and not enough people seemed to know that, and he's never faced a single repercussion for anything he's done. Wallen actually got (albeit temporarily) pulled from the airwaves when he made his mistake. It also started out as I assume a poll based on quality of material, but it divulged into a game of ethics so I felt the need to throw some of that stuff out there since it was glossed over.
