Not RTFT but immediately Ellie Goulding comes straight to mind. Horrendous voice.

FreezingThyme · 10/10/2022 03:58

Everyone mentioned with the exception of David Bowie who is my all time favourite.

Plus:

andrea Bocelli
Bob Geldof
Mark Knoefler
James Blunt
Chris De Burgh
Morrisey
Billy Joel
Nick Cave
The lead singer of Madness

Anyone who sings in musicals.

Is Jess Glynn auto tuned or is that her real voice? She sounds like a singing Chipmunk.

ColonelNobbyNobbs · 10/10/2022 05:44

Kelly Jones. Can’t stand it.

I love Mel C though!

sorcerersapprentice · 10/10/2022 06:59

Paulo Nutini. He sounds like a little boy singing. And always so cramped up huddled over his mic on stage. I want to tell him to stand up, open his throat and chest and let the big man voice emerge. I'm sure it's in there Grin

Sparklingbrook · 10/10/2022 07:04

As usual on these threads there’s a few of my favourite singers being mentioned again. 😂

Reallycomplicatedpants · 10/10/2022 07:29

Madonna, like the proverbial nails down a blackboard.

cafenoirbiscuit · 10/10/2022 08:30

Sophie Ellis Bexter baa’s like a sheep
and George Ezra

James Arthur who sounds like he's unable to swallow because his tongue has swollen. I'd happily oblige with the Epipen.

Hottubby · 10/10/2022 08:34

Kylie- I just oldomt get how anyone can listen to her and think she can sing. She needs her adenoids out.

Same with Mel C- saw her live at a festival and I had to walk away.

ShreddedMarmalade · 10/10/2022 09:34

All melisma. I just can't stand it.

Snazzysausage · 10/10/2022 10:01

Cilla Black, there's one song that starts off quietly and not too bad but I know it's coming .... she takes an almighty breath and away it goes, atrocious. How the hell she got a contract I don't know. Belinda Carlisle, that tremble in her voice makes my stomach clench. DH just walked in and also said Cilla Black.
Mick Hucknall.
Beyonce.
Ed Sheeran.
Joe Cocker.
Ian Drury.
There are others,I spend a lot of time changing channels on the car radio.

IceandIndigo · 10/10/2022 10:15

Katy Perry. Just awful, no vocal talent, can't understand how she has a career.

Also Ariana Grande. Probably has an ok voice but cannot stand the affected way she sings.

Can't believe someone mentioned Freddie Mercury! Even if his music isn't your cup of tea he's objectively a phenomenal singer.

Ellie Goulding.

She cannot sing for toffee. Absolutely talentless. She seems a nice lass if I see her on telly though, not that it makes any difference.
