View Full Version : Worst singers?

I've noticed a few threads recently asking who people think are the best vocalists, but who do you think are the worst?

Out of the big modern singers, one of the worst for me is Lana Del Rey. I just can't understand the attraction to her - her voice is amazingly average and often depressing or just plain boring.

Another one that I don't like is Madonna. Nothing about her music appeals to me (except maybe Justin Timberlake :wub:).

without a doubt, Justin Bieber. Carly Rae Jespen is also pretty shitty, "Call me Maybe" is the worst fucking song ever.

Britney Spears. At least the others, though their music may be shit, have decent voices. Britney without autotune is just disgraceful.

I'm not a huge fan of either, but I'm going to play Devil's Advocate a little and say that both have quite good voices. Ever heard Carly Rae live? Or Justin? Their music may be cheap and made for teenage girls, but the vocal talent is there in my opinion.

Yea as much as I don't like Justin bieber I will admit he has some talent

But like someone else said without auto tune Britney Spears is horrible.

:oooooooo I took so much offence. Rise Against are awesome and from what people have said they're awesome live as well.

Ehhh I'd still have to say Double Take with their song Hot Problems are abysmal. There are other shitty singers, the usuals the majority like to whine about.

I didn't say there aren't bands or vocals better than them, I just said they are not the worst by far. Also, yeah I admit the vocals were a little off in that one (especially the first song - collapse), have you actually looked at others though or just gone with the first one you've seen?

It was just a compare what do I think is a good live and what not. No after hearing that as the opening I didn't want to listen the next song even...

How did I knoooow. I actually like Lana, but that's because I love depressing sounding music. Same thing with Fiona Apple.

As far as for me... Hmmmmmmm...

I think my list is pretty much narrowed down to Rebecca Black and Double Take (Whatever their individual names are), and what's with people saying Britney's horrible; while I won't say she's the best singer out there, she is pretty capable in her own merits, listen to this:

I'll be the first to admit that Tim McIlrath doesn't have a very great voice live sometimes. However after listening to enough live footage it has become very natural sounding to me and I prefer it to the album recordings sometimes. He's one of my favorite vocalists. Also, keep into account that he's singing for about an hour and a half under an immense amount of pressure every day. His voice is bound to be strained. And Collapse has never been a strong song for him (Rise Against junkie here). Oh and when you actually see them live, I have twice, you don't worry about how bad his voice sounds on some songs.

I still enjoy more screaming type of songs, I think that Rise Against songs are too light side for me but that's me. I really like Punk Rock and Hardcore Punk but Rise Against isn't one of those bands I really like. I'm not saying they're bad the music is good and I sometimes listen to it but not regularly I think they're good but not just my type of music.

I can't get why Nickelback is so hated. Chad has got a special voice and that's a gift. I adore their music!
Anyway. For me Kesha, Bieber, Eminem and Brian Molko are the worst singers ever.. I can't stand them :P

Really, if this is singing bad, I don't know what is singing good :confused: I LOOOOOVE LANA <3 She is very shy and sometimes we can see that she feels unconfortable about singing to a big audience, she needs to improve that, but I think she is a good singer ^^

I think Ke$ha, Britney Spears and Justin Bieber are examples of bad singers!

Her voice is bad in my opinion. Very.. dull. Depressing even. The fact her songs are so moody only makes it worse.

Well, at least she can do some high notes, which is a skill many "singers" don't have ^^

I personally don't see nothing really wrong with her voice, she needs to improve some things when it comes to singing live, but I do think she is more skilled than many singers we see nowadays.

I'll be honest, just actually sat down and listened to her and I find her music really... interesting. I guess it just depends what mood I'm in :P But yeah, I don't like her live to be honest.

Try listening to her new songs, like Cola, Bel Air and Gods and Monsters, from Born To Die - Paradise Edition, they are all great!

Technically Lily Allen should have the worst vocal ability considering as she only has an octave and a half range - although I wouldn't say she is a bad singer.

In my opinion the singer with the worst voice is the guy from Stereophonics - I just hate the husky tone in his voice.

I can't believe some people are hating on Lana Del Rey. She is amazing. Her lyrics are so much better then most trash out there and she sings about real life experiences, and she really puts emotion into her singing.

Have you heard Body Electric live? It's haunting.

Katy Perry...i remember one live song I've heard from her...god damn terrible.

Yeah. She actually sounds pretty much average without auto - tune.

Nicki Minaj, in my opinion, is the worst. She constantly sings about repressing emotions and acting all "weird" and stuff, which is basically motivation of doing stupid things. She doesn't even sound really good in auto - tune.

Rebecca Black doesn't sound good either, but she isn't exactly that bad enough to attract so much hate. Nicki Minaj is someone I have grown to loath - not her, but her music. I saw her high school photos before - she was beautiful. I don't know what made her change into such a terrible state.

First I don't really understand the idea of this thread okay so you want to know what everyone thinks who's the worst singer?

What I think is people should just like or not like the band/singer and that's it. You don't need to advertise it to everyone "hohoh look at this his totally fucking shit" yea so what? move on and listen to something else? who says you need to listen to it?

Justin Bieber is bad singer? so how come his so popular? does that make him bad singer? no it's only your opinion and there's people who actually like his singing. I don't even like the genre so I don't pretty much want or judge anyone in that genre. Actually I don't like to judge anyone about their music likes or favorite singers. I just think "okay he likes it so what?"

I remember Ozzy asking "who the fuck is Justin Bieber" He actually did I'm not joking that's to all people who hate him or like him his getting more famous and famous cus people who don't know him will be like "oh who is this guy?" and then they look up him and decide do they like his music or not.

So basically he can thank people for advertising his music for free? :roll:

Oo, the reason these sh** bands are so popular is because of the record companies. They dont make themselves popular, record companies sell them. My cousin is a drummer for a great local band, they have 4 albums, they are known from Massachusetts to New York to Connecticut way up to New Hampshire because people know them locally. Not because of record labels, if they had one... They could be huge!
