@YellowAndGreenToBeSeen I’m totally in agreement about Heather Small. She sounds like she’s chewing something.

LazyLikeSundayMorning · 09/10/2022 18:27

Katherine Jenkins

A580Hojas · 09/10/2022 18:27

Paul Heaton, I want to bash him in the chops.

Lewis Capaldi.

I love Miley Cirus though. That girl can actually sing.

MadCattery · 09/10/2022 18:28

Back a few years, but hate the sound of Stevie Nicks. If Fleetwood Mac is playing anywhere near me, I can’t stand it.

LazyLikeSundayMorning · 09/10/2022 18:28

A ditto for Jess Glynn. There must be others. I can't think of them.

quirkychick · 09/10/2022 18:29

Celine Dion: too harsh
Whitney Houston: too emotionless
Barbara Streisand: was subjected to as a child
Mariah Carey: too wibbly wobbly
Can all sing, but I really dislike their voices.

Robbie Williams, horrible nasal whine.

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 09/10/2022 18:31

Bernard Sumner of New Order - weak voice and can't hold a note.
Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys - hideous, weak, whiny voice.
Macy Gray, sounds like Marge Simpson.
Aretha Franklin.

Jess Glynne
Ellie Goulding
Heather Small
Celine Dion
George Ezra

Rabidturnip · 09/10/2022 18:32

And Stevie Nicks

dottydoglover · 09/10/2022 18:33

Don't like Adele or singers who blast out songs and wardle Grin

Kernowgirlie · 09/10/2022 18:34

Found this on Wikipedia re: Jess Glynne

"Her mother, Alexandra (née Ingram), worked in A&R in the music industry"

That answers how she got famous then! Blergh

Claricestarling1 · 09/10/2022 18:34

Christina Aguilera, I had a headache after Burlesque from all the shouty singing

McP13 · 09/10/2022 18:35

Leona Lewis

Melonymelony · 09/10/2022 18:36

Agree with a couple of PPs, Katherine Jenkins is awful… ruins any lovely occasion

LoveLarry · 09/10/2022 18:36

Jess Glynn causes me literal physical discomfort

And Becky bill is as bad

Their voices are awful

WomanWomenGirlsFemale · 09/10/2022 18:37

All of the above.
Heather Small sounds like she's eating a hot sausage 😲

lanesra01 · 09/10/2022 18:37

Sam smith

Ellie Goulding
Sam Smith
Jess Glynn
Aitch

SmugglersHaunt · 09/10/2022 18:39

Sam Smith - nasal, whiney
Sia - probably the worst voice ever
Lewis Capaldi - just appalling
”Rag and Bone Man” - so ridiculously overwrought
Whitney Houston - just screeching
I could go on!

Tabbouleh · 09/10/2022 18:41

Madonna
Gwen Stefani
Katy Perry
Ariana
J Lo
Cardi B
Adam Levine
Khalid/Drake/ various interchangeable rap stars.

Most pop and rap stars really.

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 09/10/2022 18:41

Oh, and I forgot... Cher! Honks like a goose.

catandcoffee · 09/10/2022 18:41

Sam Smith
Katherine Jenkins
Robbie Williams
The guy who was in the Army ?

lollipoprainbow · 09/10/2022 18:41

Jess glynne
Heather small

SmugglersHaunt · 09/10/2022 18:42

And if course Neil Tennant - the weakest, thinnest voice in pop
