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.

@Shallwegoforawalk

Agree Bob Dylan is truly awful and should have stuck to writing.

Liam Gallagher - so nasal and whiney/shouty it can't even be called singing.

Whoever said Sharlene Spiteri (Texas) are you mad? She's a goddess, her voice live is incredible and THAT video with Alan Rickman

Where they do the tango in the petrol station?!

Glorious.

Heather Small from M People
Sam Smith
Jess Glynne

Nasal warblers, basically.

TeaAndCake · 21/12/2021 12:14

Heather Small. I just can't stand her voice.

DrinkReprehensibly · 21/12/2021 12:15

Macy Grey. It just does not count as singing.

DrinkReprehensibly · 21/12/2021 12:15

Second Heather Small. Reminiscent of a goose honking.

RoyTroyAndChris · 21/12/2021 12:24

Sam Smith. So bloody miserable.

He and Adele need a day at a theme park.

woodlandarchitect · 21/12/2021 12:26

@RoyTroyAndChris ponders Adele howling / meowing / singing on the rollercoaster for all the nearest towns and cities to hear Xmas Grin

RobertSmithsLipstick · 21/12/2021 12:26

Yes!
Heather Small.
Horrible.

MrsPeterVenkman · 21/12/2021 12:27

God. Macy Gray is just awful.

All of these other than Sharlene Spiteri. Especially Adele, Robbie Williams and Sam Smith. When they use their awful voices to endlessly winge I particularly hate them.

Slobberstops · 21/12/2021 12:27

God and the awful grand dame performance Adele is currently engaged in. Just ugh!

Who is the woman who sings "I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away"?
Whoever, I don't like her voice.

Echofallen · 21/12/2021 12:29

Shakira sounds like a goat bleating. I do quite like some of her songs though.

thewhatsit · 21/12/2021 12:29

Ellie Goulding. She might be a good singer (I don’t know?) but I can’t listen to her voice for some reason.

bigbeatmanifesto · 21/12/2021 12:29

Ed Sheeran - Miserable soooo miserable.
Adele - use to like her now her songs all sound the same and are very annoying and shouty.
Sam Smith - sounds unintelligible I can't figure out what's he's saying.
James Arthur/Lewis Capaldi/James Morrison they're just shouting at me with a guitar very irritating.
Leona Lewis - has been off key and pitchy since 2008 someone please tell her to stop.
Ellie Goulding - HOW AND WHY someone long ago told her she could sing and they lied.
Rihanna - doesn't have a good voice just good songs. Shocking live.
Selena Gomes - okay actress terrible singer.
JLO - wtf actually wtf.
Taylor Swift - I just can not stand her voice one bit & she's always moaning.
Miley Cyrus & Dua Lipa both equally awful but personified when they co-sang prisoner & ruined it.
Dua lipa is on another level of annoying.

The most annoying thing is when Adele or Ed release a song and it's battered to death all over the tv & radio like Jesus has returned.

Nelly Furtado! I heard that on the radio yesterday.

I want to give Rod Stewart some lozenges and throat spray.

Michael Buble is also high up there for me. Every song sounds so smug.

I'll put my hard ha on but I can't stand Elvis! Apart from some of his later stuff I just think he sounds like a bull bellowing to the cows in the next field.

I'll get my coat.
