Singers who's voices you quite frankly hate, or are, in your opinion, really BAD

[Lower West Stander]

Leo Sayer - dreadful

 

[vegster]

Its got to be Rod Stewart. Also the Bee gees, did they sit there one evening, get a kick in the proverbial and start singing and thought is sounded good!

Can't stand them either, I just don't call going " Wha wa wah wha wha wha wha wha wha wa whaaa, wha wha wha whaa wha whawha wa wa." singing.

 

[jakarta]

Jimmy Hendrix

It is frankly not a great singing voice but you rather missed the point if you bought Electric Ladyland for the vocals....

Oh and it is Jimi Hendrix.

 

[Insel affe]

Jimmy Hendrix

Is he from the tribute band ?

 

[Jam The Man]

Ellie Goulding, annoying voice and can't sing.

This.

 

[Superphil]

Come of it, Beyonce honestly....

Indeed, honestly, and shortly after I typed that her song about putting rings on "it" came on R2, and clarified my point to me completely.

Anyone who has to digitally-enhance their voices , well that's most of the modern day singers then and even though I would give her one I would include Kylie Minogue in that class !

Yup, Kylie, not only digitally enhanced, but nasally and mostly note free, chuck into that pretty much any "girl" "band" of the past 10 or 15 years or so. The thing is the "enhancements" don;t work, they just take out anything resembling a scale (in tune or not) in the performers act and, with a bit of Simon Cowells dust, we are fed it as being wonderful.

 

[el punal]

Never rated Van Morrison, not facing his audience, no encores, WTF is that about!

Admittedly his voice is like a rusty cheese grater and his personality is as appealing as a Palace dressing room turd, but boy can he write great songs. Some of his earlier stuff is out of this world - and I'm quite partial to his Belfast accent, when you can decipher his words.

 

[Fungus]

Leo Sayer - dreadful

I love Leo!

 

[BBassic]

Matt Bellamy, Muse.

It's not that I dislike his voice its more that I can't not hear the big breaths he takes before each line. It's all I hear. Which is really annoying because musically Muse are one of the best bands out there.

I think I need karaoke versions of all their songs.

 

[W.C.]

I hate all those 'Mockney singers' - Kate Nash, early Lily Allen, Lady Sovereign.

Jimmy Somerville can also do one.

Jimmy Somerville didn't ever really make much of an impression on my music tastes over the years. Probably remember Bronski Beat best because one of their videos was one of the ones before Ghostbusters at the cinema.

Saw this recently though and thought it was pretty good

Oh yeah. Forgot about her. A very ordinary voice at best and a very gullible/tone deaf fan base.

Thank you kindly. I will take that on board.

 

[symyjym]

Olly Murs, whether singing or just on TV as a special guest.

 

[jimbob5]

That bloke from Muse.

yeah! Don't get them AT ALL!

 

[Parson Henry]

Is he from the tribute band ?

Yes - I think they are called Pat Smith and the French Pavement

Was never a fan, but that was very good. You need to start a new thread 'Singers I never liked but this is an impressive live performance'

 

[KZNSeagull]

yeah! Don't get them AT ALL!

I get the music, just cannot stand his voice - all their songs should be instrumentals.

Yep, quite a niche thread though.

Bon jovi Awfull!

To be fair I did not persevere, just never got grabbed like some do.
