10 Singers Who Can't Sing?
 

There are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo many we could all add to the list, but, IMHO, alot of the list is dead on. Celine Dion(despite what others here think) CANNOT sing. She's so horrible, and a welcome addition to this already wonderful list. As some asked, how the Jonas bros, Ashlee/Jessica Simpson didn't make the list(along with Pete Wentz), is anyone's guess.

Singers Who Can't Sing - GetBack

Maybe because Pete Wentz doesn't sing? Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Thank God somebody recognized Anthony Kiedis for the utter failure he is. And not in a good way. The twat can't sing and his lyrics are even worse.

Your signature suggests super irony.

He's not a great singer, but he's a good frontman for a great band, I don't mind him at all and there's certainly worse out there.

Isaac Brock should be there.

There's a significant difference between someone that can't sing and someone that doesn't try to. Tom Waits is an unusual vocalist and a brilliant storyteller. If you want to hear him sing, listen to his early work. It isn't poor by any measure.

And come one, the Red Hot Chili Peppers? If you romanticize about heroin overdoses and orgies, sure, they're "great." It seems like everyone who calls Kiedis a good frontman idolizes his self-fellating shitpile of an autobiography. Give it a rest already.

Well, for early RHCP, Kiedis dosen't really sing. In the same sense that Jagger or Dylan dosen't sing.

Waits fancies himself a crooner, he also sounds like he swallowed a blowfish. Kiedis dosen't really try to sing, even with the more melodic stuff, he dosen't go beyond his range. And yeah, I'm biased because I love RHCP, but you're just as biased because you hate them, this is a pointless argument.

even when keidis sticks within his vocal range his voice comes out flat.

great frontman especially in the 80s. decent rock rapper. horrible singer. jumbo middle aged cheeseball.

Um... no.

Waits fancies himself as about 10 other different singers...

Ozzy- I like Ozzy and he has a distinctive voice but he can't sing for toffee.

chris brown?


really?

Cassie definitely has a lame voice.
Wayne Coyne is probably the worst singer of the alternative rock world. But don't get me wrong, the Lips are great. Just youtube any live clip; he sounds as if he had a sumo wrestler eating fries on his chest.

His distinctive style is what made the Lips who they are. Even if he is a bit off-key, Wayne Coyne's vocals have always been the centerpiece of the Lips.

Um, Celine Dion can't sing? Say what?

He might have the coolest falsetto ever, the Flaming Lips would sound awful if Coyne only sung in a deeper voice like Beck (but he has a good voice too).

No , that would be the guy from the Meat Puppets

Wayne Coyne? Are you kidding me?

Let's try something more realistic. Guys like Coyne and Kiedis do their thing and they do it well.

Prince, now that's a singer I can't stand.

Have you heard his earlier stuff?

No, the centerpiece of the Lips is the exuberance of their sound; the theatricality and bombasticness, the over-the-top arrangements. And although I like the sound of his voice, his actual singing could've been a lot better. Wayne Coyne is just a darn nice guy who's lucky that his band is that good. And of course he fills a part in the band, but in my opinion, he's not as indispensable as, say, Drozd.

I agree that Coyne does fill his part in the way that only he can. A singer's voice, to me, is the most important 'instrument' in a band, and therefor, I feel he's the least dispensable.

Michael James Williams.

I mean, I love Prince Far I, but his voice has never really impressed me. That said, it's hardly the point of the sound he trades in though.

I'm a big RHCP fan and I think Kiedis can't sing. Frusciante has some great backup vocals though.

Dosen't make him a horrible singer.

He's not, and even so. I think if a band is good enough, it makes an otherwise lousy singer passable, it's all about style and chemestry. Coyne fits with the Lips, and Kiedis fits with the Chili's.

Lets focus on singers we can all agree on, without picking the VERY obvious choices.

Lets see... Michael McDonald. Now that's how this thread should work.

Michael McDonald!? He's probably the best man in the backing vocals business? Ever heard his work with Steely Dan!?

Steely Dan are great.

He's a decent backing vocalist, I just hate him as a lead singer.

Rod Stewart is another one.

Joanna Newsom.
I think she pushes the pseudo-individual (ooh, get me) card a bit much.
The harp playing does looks quite skillful, but I've never played harp so I'm not one to judge.

A few of those people can sing.

Ian Brown

I like the Stone Roses, they were a great band, but Ian Brown clearly cannot sing. And his solo stuff sucks donkey balls.

LOL, agreed. I unfortunately heard a few tracks of his solo stuff...YUCK!!!! I'm also not a giant Stone Roses fan, I do like some of their stuff, but afterawhile, Ian's voice kinda grated on my nerves.

F.E.A.R is one of the best tracks ever laid down. It's damn brilliant. I like a lot of Brown's solo stuff personally.

I have to go with Ashlee Simpson, Britany and I love Kanye West but did you guys see him on Saturday Night Live? He didn't sound too good with the singing....I think he needs to stick with the rap game and producing. This blues artist is way from back in the day but a friend of mine was talking to me about Billie Holiday and that she received so many praises for her vocal ability and she didn't know why. Personally, I like her voice.

What's with all the Ian Brown hate?

The Stone Roses vocals are so far down in the mix I never really noticed he couldn't sing.

^^^

Not me guv'nor! How can people say he can't sing? Both my kids ADORE this song too:

A singer who can't
 

My vote is for a mexican "singer" called Maribel Hernandez that performs something called "Pasito Duranguense". Horrible!

You are no longer my brother, but my enemy!

You too Boo Boo.

Too true.
Thats also what I think about Daron Malakian.

Just turn on the radio. Half of those people can't sing!

Correction
 

The second name is not Hernandez, so is Maribel Guardia.

Last I checked the man could barely talk straight, let alone sing.

But I like him.

I've never cared much for Iggy Pop's voice... it makes me cringe.
