Jason Aldean
Dierks Bentley
Blake Shelton
Craig Morgan

Okay, here we go....
I've done sound for Jason Aldean twice, and Dierks Bentley twice. Concerning the former, Aldean, you are correct. He is a talentless HACK. I know a friend of his, from back when he was nobody, and he is the PRODUCT of handlers and producers. He has an average voice, and no special talent, whatsoever!
Now, in the case of the latter, I LOVE Dierks Bentley. He has a unique voice, and actually has several songs that I find quite moving! My band does Long Trip Alone, and Come a Little Closer, and we get constant requests for these songs(and quite often, if one looks closely, tears will be streaming down my cheeks during LTA). Also, he is a very kind, friendly, down to Earth guy. Not a poser, by any stretch of the imagination. An absolute pleasure to work with.

Shelton and Morgan, I don't know much about them, other than Shelton is on some damned reality show, that I refuse to watch.

Ur mileage may vary!!!
