According to Wikipedia, Lang Lang has his critics:
"Lang's performances have also been criticized. His performance style has been referred to as having "soggy rhythms and heavy phrasing", and as being "truly boring", "just bad" and "unendurable". Critics who feel that his playing is vulgar and lacks sensitivity have given him the nickname "Bang Bang". Pianist Earl Wild called him "the J. Lo of the piano."
