Surprised so many votes for Florence: she is one of my favourite female voices!

Same here!

My neighbours...she thinks she sounds like Mariah Carey but really she sounds like a cat being strangled.

Yoko Ono - but I think that’s standard for everyone
I have never heard anything so horrendous

AnImaginaryCat · 09/10/2022 21:59

Johnny Cash

Haven’t read all the posts but I’m surprised there’s not more hate for Rod Stewart? Perhaps I’m showing my age but I can’t stand listening to him.
James Blunt is an obvious other as is any one else who warbles and ‘emotes’. 🤮

Neil Young. Basically Kermit.

Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland. Honking goose.

Lulu. Can someone tell her she can stop doing that ‘WEEEEEE-EEEEEE-EEEEEE-EEEEEEE-LLLLLLLLLL’ now, please? It got old about 50 years ago.

You've ruined Heart of Gold forever for me now

Neil has admitted he has an ‘unusual’ voice
absolutely love him personally

TitaniasAss · 09/10/2022 22:10

Morrissey. Fucking awful.

Blimey… Jess Glynne is really unpopular 😲 I have no idea who she is, seems I’m not missing out!
if you’ve seen the Jet2 advert with the annoying song, that’s her.
if you’ve been on a jet2 flight this summer you will hate her forever.

Is that the song that according to subtitles is, 'won't you hold my hand', but is in reality sung as, 'nnngh ya hhhhhhhhrgh mmmergh heeengh'?

Borgonzola · 09/10/2022 22:12

Leona Lewis

Sam Smith

They both honk rather than sing

Honeyroar · 09/10/2022 22:16

Cilla Black
Joe Cocker
Kate Bush
Mariah Carey
Bonnie Tyler
Cher
Cyndi Lauper

Hehehe. I always start singing along then segue into ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green’ when DH plays him.

I’m a Bad Wife.

Shakira

MintyGreenDreams · 09/10/2022 22:19

Adele and Jess Glynn

Cocolapew · 09/10/2022 22:28

Beyonce, I have to turn her off if she comes on the radio. She gives me the rage.
Adele,
Sam Smith
Amy Winehouse
Chris Martin
Bastille bloke
shouty Florence

Candleabra · 09/10/2022 22:35

The Shitehouse Family 😁 God they were absolute MOR crap weren’t they
I never liked Louise Wener’s voice (sleeper) so breathy and talky

EmmiJay · 09/10/2022 22:36

I'm legit shocked at all these singers that have been mentioned, are being mentioned😅 I think there's songs I cannot stand (that 'So you had a bad day' does my head in) but I admire the voices/talent behind the songs.

CoralBells · 09/10/2022 22:38

The singing on Strictly. A friend's late mother in law used to watch it with the sound off because of the terrible singing.

whiteroseredrose · 09/10/2022 22:41

Celine Dion

starfishmummy · 09/10/2022 22:43

A lot of women singers with a few exceptions . They're either all warbly and wobbly (as another poster described it), breathy or think that shouting into a microphone is singing.

Heather Small voice sends me into a rage. I have no idea why.

AlwaysLatte · 09/10/2022 22:44

Adele. No variation in the droning sound.

haveyouopenedyourbowelstoday · 09/10/2022 22:45

Florence
Kate Bush.
