For me, it has to be Robbie Williams.. I feel irate when I hear him on the radio. I will never ever like his voice.

Britney Spears is another definitely. Such a whiny voice.

Lisa stansfield
Jess Glynne

Bloodypunkrockers · 21/12/2021 19:07

Jess Glynn sounds like a flat sheep

I actually find her "singing" painful

She is awful

AuntieMarys · 21/12/2021 19:13

Al Stewart

Omicrone · 21/12/2021 19:14

Sam Smith. Just awful.

Jota67 · 21/12/2021 19:16

Ellie Goulding really really irks me for some reason
Cardi B - pure tackiness

ALongHardWinter · 21/12/2021 19:30

Ellie Goulding. Her breathy voice irritates the hell out of me.

Brawsome · 21/12/2021 20:02

Whitney - too showy off
Taylor Swift - high pitched, shrill, I hear it but I can’t process it
Marti Pellow - as Whitney, why use one note when there’s another 20 ready to burst out
Rod Stewart - just noise
For balance:
Sharlene Spiteri - goddess
Annie Lennox - goddess
Tom Waits - god
Bruce Springsteen- god

Slobberstops · 21/12/2021 21:05

I actually like Cerys but James Arthur sounds in the point if vomiting - like his next big emote could see the barf arrive

LawnFever · 21/12/2021 21:07

@NightmareSlashDelightful

Sam Smith
Agreed, not a fan at all.

And Robbie Williams too, always found him generally irritating.

WeveGotASquirrel · 21/12/2021 21:19

Paloma Faith. I can't stand her screeching.

AffIt · 21/12/2021 21:34

Thrilled by the Sam Smith hate here, I was worried that it was just me. Fucking whiny talentless twat.

I wish I liked Lewis Capaldi's voice as much as I love Lewis Capaldi, but alas, no.

I do love Tom Waits, Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and Billie Eilish, though.

RoseLavenderBlue · 21/12/2021 22:30

Agree with so many - Jess Glynne, Heather Small, Cilla Black, Michael Ball (over sincere and gushing, especially in that song with Captain Sir Tom Moore). Jack Savoretti when he sings loud in a higher register, just clear your throat! Van Morrison, slurs from one word to the next.

Bojheybuddy · 21/12/2021 22:34

Elton John sounds like Vic Reeves doing an impression of Elton John especially on the god awful Christmas song he’s done with Ed Sheeran

Parion · 21/12/2021 22:39

Ariana grande, her mumble singing irritates me

Daisychainsandglitter · 21/12/2021 22:43

Alanis Morisette- can't stand her!

TwoPaperAirplanes · 21/12/2021 22:52

Adele
Kylie
Sam smith
Robin Thicke (for various reasons)

TwoPaperAirplanes · 21/12/2021 22:54

Oh how could I forget the horror that is James Arthur. I could leave all of my aforementioned "artists" on if they come on the radio, although I wouldn't be particularly enjoying it. But James Arthur I have to change the station, or failing that, drive into a brick wall.

This version of I’m still standing on a charity lockdown tv special thing was one of the most hilarious things I’ve seen on tv in absolutely bloody ages Grin

Billie Eilish sounds bored of her own songs

Peasweet · 21/12/2021 22:59

@Icecreaminwinter Yes, Katherine Jenkins.. thought it was only me,

Iike the emperor's new clothes! She seems lovely on the TV though.

And James Blunt.. most recently on the Royal Variety Performance. Just awful but appears to believe his own hype.

AliceMcK · 21/12/2021 23:12

@LookItsMeAgain

Macy Gray

Can't listen to any of her songs

Justin Bieber - won't listen to any of their songs.

Nick Knowles - no thanks.

I can’t stand Macy Gray because she put her kids in foster care so she could have a career.

Agree on Justin, I think the only song I can identify as his is the whiny baby baby baby one.

RobertSmithsLipstick · 21/12/2021 23:16

Vic does Roxy Music.

Ellie Goulding
Ariana Grande, am probably showing my age here but I can't understand most of what she's saying when she sings
