To wish singers would bloody enunciate?

I don't really listen to modern music, but was just in car and Rhianna song (apparently called 'work') came on the radio.

It was so dreadful, I actually shouted at the radio. And I understood about 3 words she said. Why don't singers enunciate anymore?

I find the same with Ella Henderson and the many many breathy wispy-voiced songstresses.

Is it just me?

Fucksakes. She isn't even meant to be singing in 'English'. It's not hard to recognise Patois.

That said, I can't bear her music, her enunciation is bizarre sometimes- Sia who wrote some of her songs has bizarre enunciation as well. Although I do like listening to Sia... it comes across as more artful rather than a put-on affected accent.
