Singers w/ craptacular voices?

[GRLMGC]

I nominate Christina Milian. Her voice is so annoying.

[CO Liberal]

1. Michael Bolton, Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston

Put any of their CDs on, turn up the volume, and every stray dog within ten miles will be on your doorstep.

[blondeatlast]

23. Mariah Carey is to nails on a blackboard

as shit is to stink.

I despise vocal gymnastics.

[Red State Rebel]

36. Wow! You hit the trifecta!

All 3 blech!

[Bluzmann57]

2. Geddy Lee

the lead singer of Rush. His voice can drive people to convulsions.

[Left Is Write]

21. Yep.

I'm one of those people. :)

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. 90% of ALL Country "Music" singers!

[thoughtanarchist]

4. who heads up "Modest Mouse?"? n/t

[JitterbugPerfume]

6. if anybody sez BOB DYLAN

I am gonna have my friend Skittles to kick their ass

[American Tragedy]

28. Uhmmm....then don't scroll down this page.

[bobbobbins]

12. isaac brock

hes cool

[one_true_leroy]

5. CREED!!!

:puke:

[DS1]

10. YES!!!!!

I flicked through the channels and immediately started laughing at all those poor country saps having to sit down "at a table" and eat "with candles" while Creed blasted shit at them! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

[GRLMGC]

14. :shudder:

Creed. Bad memories. Shitty music.

[donheld]

7. Rod Stewart

:puke:

[Ready4Change]

13. My thought exactly.

Now he's "crooning." Croaking more like.

But someone seems to love him. I hear his concerts are nuts.

[Left Is Write]

22. Rod Stewart has absolutely NO business

recording those wonderful old standards for his "American Songbook" records. He is NOT a crooner. Why those records have been selling so well is beyond my ability to comprehend. I'll take the old recordings by the old stars, thanks.

[AlCzervik]

8. Fred Durst-singing, rapping. whatever.

[one_true_leroy]

16. it's not his voice...

he's just a talent-less moran

[GRLMGC]

17. true that n/t

[Beaverhausen]

9. Celine Dion, Mariah, Madonna

they all suck in their own craptacular way!

[CarbonDate]

11. Macy Gray

Absolutely the worst voice I've ever heard. Bar none.

[tigereye]

25. her voice is very strange

but I really like it. Very expressive.

[China_cat]

15. Barry Manilow

-shudder-

[CarbonDate]

18. You know, a lot of people who are listed here....

...actually have very good singing voices; it's just that their music sucks. I mean, come on; Celine Dion has a terrific voice, even though I hate her music.

However, even among the "bad" singers, none of them are as craptacular as Macy Gray.

[Beaverhausen]

19. If you call screaming singing, then yeah, Celine is great

she just can't "sing" a song. She has to yell and scream. sorry...not singing.

[Abelman]

20. Bob Dylan

I love Dylan. But he's the most notorious singer. I find his craggy inability to sing quite stimulating. There are many who can't stand his voice, though, which is a shame.

[blondeatlast]

24. Uh, oh.

Have you met skittles?

I'm pretty sure you are about to if you haven't...

[one_true_leroy]

27. You're a braver (abel)man than I...

Abstractly, I agree with you... his voice and singing is technically crappy. And yet it works...

For you, I have compiled a list of voices I :loveya: , but whom others, with less acclimated palattes, would find grating:

Tom Waits
Howlin' Wolf
Louis Armstrong
Bob Dylan
Tori Amos
Jay Farrar
Tom Petty
Bill Monroe
PJ Harvey

Flame away!!

[Mist]

32. Dylan always had phenomenal lyrics

Couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, though.

[youthere]

26. Toby Keith..

I can't believe no one said toby keith.

[Radical Activist]

29. Brian Johnson of AC/DC

I love it though. It makes me laugh on some of the songs.

[Feathered Fish]

30. Britney Spears

Shania Twain
Celine Dion
Jessica Simpson
Ashlee Simpson
Avril Levine
Rod Stewart
Michael Bolton
Creed
There are plenty more but these are the first that came to mind.

[J-Lo Biafra]

31. Jewel

I HATE jewel! :puke:

[UdoKier]

33. Sade

She sounds great on records, pathetic live. Not quite on key, and very weak.

Beautiful lady, though.

[KamaAina]

34. John Asscroft

and to think he gave up the AG gig so he could go on "The Eagle Is Sore '05 Tour"!! :-)

[fluffernutter]

35. Tom Petty.

[Champ]

37. Ja Rule trying to sing

Not really singing but there is a couple songs of his where he raises his deep, gruff voice trying to be an R&B singer, it hurts your ears! It sounds more like one of the rejects you would see coming out of an American Idol tryout. He is however an above average rapper but a terrible singer who shouldn't even try to sing.
