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.

Cerys Mathews has to be the worst.

James Arthur really grates on me for some reason.

@woodlandarchitect

Oh my gosh that Katherine Jenkins video is AWFUL!

Ughhhhhhhhhh my EARS

Yes, it’s like a tinny, ugly-vibrato ear worm.

Mind you, I think anyone singing ‘You raise me up’ should probably be given a small electric shock, anyway.

Oh I used to hate Cleo Laine when I was a kid.
She used to make the same sounds as her husbands trumpet or something.

George Michael

RobertSmithsLipstick · 21/12/2021 16:17

Anastasia and Nickelback

Frank Sinatra

Cmsadvice · 21/12/2021 16:57

Bee Gee's. Hairy men whose voice pitch matches that of 4 year olds. Nope.

ALongHardWinter · 21/12/2021 17:25

Paul Young. Ever since hearing his number one hit 'Wherever I lay my hat',I've thought what a flat,toneless voice he has. Although I'm expecting to have people disagree with me on this!

Magnited · 21/12/2021 17:35

Adele

Also, I am not keen on Adele's voice.

And Adele also. Don't like any of those.

bethabean · 21/12/2021 17:38

Adele
Ellie Goulding
Jess Glynn oh my gosh no, I have to turn the radio over every time

Adele
Robbie Williams (I hate his bloody froggy face too)
Justin Beiber
Kylie Minogue
Sam Smith

RobertSmithsLipstick · 21/12/2021 17:46

Robbie Williams here too.
Face, voice, and that stupid dancing walk he does, whilst he nods and gurns at the audience.

htfdth · 21/12/2021 17:48

Jess Glynn..

DontTellThemYourNamePike · 21/12/2021 17:48

Agree with pp about Elvis. I'm not sure if maybe his voice has been ruined for me by all the awful impersonators. But I can't listen to him.

Madonna
Shirley Bassey

Oh and Michael Buble with his bland, apologetic, sad-copycat-crooner voice.

wendywoopywoo222 · 21/12/2021 17:52

Mariah Carey
Adele
Celine Dion
George Michael
Madonna
Witney Houston
Michael Jackson
Michael Buble

They all make me turn the radio over.

IWanderedLonely · 21/12/2021 17:53

Mel C - toneless foghorn.

ForTheLoveOfSleep · 21/12/2021 17:56

Chris Martin, Liam Gallagher, Jess Glynne,

notawittyname1954 · 21/12/2021 18:53

All the people we are supposed to love

Ed Sheeran - although I think he's a nice person
Can't stand Adele's voice
Sam Smith
Michael Ball and Alfie Boe, together or alone

TH22 · 21/12/2021 18:57

@OverByYer

Oh and the lead singer from Buddy Clyro
Biffy?
TH22 · 21/12/2021 18:58

Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande and every other singer who sings 20 notes when you can just sing 1!

Taylor swift
Adele (used to love her)
