someone mentioned morrisey
 

his voice is cringe :/


The Smiths - Is It Really So Strange? (Peel Session) - YouTube

Yamataka Eye is my favorite male vocalist, and I don't think anything he does can be considered singing. All screams, and screeches.

Derek Shulman of Gentle Giant is one of my lease favorite singers... he makes GG sound like you're having a dinner at Medieval times.

Dylan can sing a hell of a lot better than knopfler. Dylan had a great voice, one of my favorite voices ever. I'll stand by it. I'll never be convinced that he "can't sing". Robert plant is one of the most overrated singers. How many times does someone need to say "ahh-ahh" or "baby-baby"? He's got one of the most annoying voices I've ever heard.

Singers that Can't Sing
 

1. Miranda Cosgrove
I think I saw her live on the Morning Show or something, and my eardrums committed suicide. I don't know why she decided to sing....she should stick to "acting" on crappy kids shows.
2. Ke$ha
90% of the time she isn't even doing what I would call singing.
3. Katy Perry
I agree, she sucks live.

That's all I can think of right now.

Ke$ha can sing. Often she chooses not to, but solid ability is shown on, for example, the "while you're here in my arms" part of "Die Young."

Many people will disagree with me, but here are some famous singers who can't sing in my opinion:
James LaBrie - He can sing only one way (I mean only his style), when he does covers he sounds really bad.
Joe Elliot and Jon Bon Jovi - there are many more people that I could mention along with them. Almost every 80s rock singer sounds the same and doesn't sing something that hard or interesting. (I love those bands, especially Def Leppard, don't get me wrong).
Ozzy Osbourne - Although he has been mentioned already.
Mick Jagger - Although he is my favorite rock star of all time and the Rolling Stones are maybe my favorite band of all time, I'm not fooling myself, and admit that he can't sing that well, too.

Dare I say Kurt Cobain without getting flogged. I'm just not into his voice.

True about Jagger, who seems to get a free pass. Bon Jovi is a decent singer. Joe Elliot has had vocal problems for decades.

qft, for real, dylan had a great voice.

That's a load of bollocks. Have you heard Angie live? :rolleyes:

here's a few that come to my mind: Beyonce-Rhianna-Britney Spears-these people are all perfect examples of how you don't have to be able to sing you just have to be really well marketed to be world famous

Robbie Williams. Yeah he's a bit of a showman but his vocals are utterly bland.

Paul McCartney. His live performances are all the evidence you need as to how much magic can be created in a recording studio.

Do you mean nowadays? He's 70 yrs old now so that'll explain why he sounds tough now...when he was younger he was a great singer. Listen to the original version of maybe I'm amazed.

I thought of that before. Jagger emotes well, but the vocal quality isn't good. That is where Stones music is vaguely country.

Watching Paul McCartney live has only shown me a couple things: 1. He can still rock the **** out. 2. He can still sing.

He was a great singer in his prime.

Nowadays. I'm not exactly a fan of his early stuff when, even then, I rate his vocals as nothing above average. But as for lately - the Olympic opening ceremony is all the proof I need to back up my statement.

Britney was the first 'singer' that crossed my mind when I read this topic. Rihanna sucks as well. But I disagree about Beyonce. Last thing I heard from her was a life performance of ''I was here'', and I was like: :eek: and than :clap:

Britney sang well on "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman." She got her start performing live. Whether she's been able to sing well since becoming a mom, having a breakdown, etc., I don't know.

i'd say
nicki minaj
britney spears
fergie
miley cyrus
chris brown
those are the ones that get on my nerves

Chris Brown, Miley Cyrus, and Fergie definitely can sing.

Wrong.

Fergie sings terribly live.

How about the whole genre of top 40 dance music who all sing through computers to correct their pitch.

there are two singers that can never and should never sing

Brittany Spears
Madonna

They both are great dancers and entertainers not singers let alone vocalists.

Dude...

whatever

just, whatever

-Material Ghost Jam

Can you please tell me why Brittany Spears and Madonna can sing?

Because they have mouths.

Um. Because they can?

Does that work?

Their ability to do so?

Seriously dude whatever. I don't want to argue with someone that dismisses nearly 30 years of accomplishment from a tremendous artist such as Madonna.

You're right. They shouldn't sing.

Really you're right.

-Hate Wasting Time Ghost Jam

That's unsurprisingly rude.

Here is Fergie's voice being erratic during a live performance.

[ HD ] Black Eyed Peas - Meet Me Halfway Live NRJ Music Awards 2010 - YouTube

She does well enough on some parts. I figure it's related to improper use of her core muscles as she moves around.

Is it even possible for a 70 yr old to sing well?

miley cyrus deserves to be on this list

Are you sure :whythis:
