To think that Kylie can't sing that well?

[MrSoft]

On Michael McIntyre now, not good at all

YANBU, but she's attractive and very clever at making the most of what she has.

I like some of her songs, even though her voice is nothing special. She seems to put on a good show in her concerts, and if that involves some auto tuning and support from backing singers, that seems fine to me, as long as people enjoy the performance.

Not a great singer, but a great entertainer.

Do you see her in Hyde park a couple of months back? She was amazing.

I think shes definitely more an entertainer than a singer.
Would be worth seeing her in concert.

I love her music but yeah, really nasally voice.

I think her voice has changed. I used to quite like it.

However, her recent Nashville songs were very nasally, and she hasn’t sounded the same since.we felt she was struggling on Michael McIntyre also.

It's taken you all 30 years to realise this?

She’s never been a great singer, most if us knew that 30 years ago. That said, she’s fab. Bono is another one with not a great voice (now anyway) but fronts one of the most successful bands in history.

Kylie Minogue has a horrible ‘singing’ voice and always has. I’ve no doubt she can hold a tune...but only in a bucket really. She’s certainly no notable vocal talent to speak of. She looks the biz and that’s all.

I think her limited vocal ability has always been obvious.

I’ve seen her live - 100% worth the money. She isn’t the singer of the century. However, she can sing perfectly well enough, has an incredible stage presence and a very experienced creative team. All that means she puts on a fabulous show that is totally worth seeing.

My brother has worked with her loads and says she’s absolutely bloody lovely and he’s very un star struck by anyone.

To the pp who said that Bananarama can’t sing: how very dare you!!!

It’s not about having the best voice it’s about having the whole package. Madonna and Britney aren’t great singers either but they know how to put on a show.

she can sing better than me, she can hit the high notes. she is a god

She doesn't have a great voice but she does put on a really good show.

Agreed

I saw her in concert quite a while ago, on her Fever tour - she was FAB!!!! No, not the best singer (a lot of Australians always sound really nasal...), but she gives a really good show. I wouldn't see her again as I'm not keen on the direction her music has taken but if you do like it, you'll love her concerts.

AIBU to think that at this stage of her career it really doesn't matter? She obviously has something!

Lovely woman but singing voice like a chipmunk.

That’s not the point of kylie

Doesn't matter does it? She's had 30 years of a mega successful career and has millions of adoring fans. Another successful 'non-singer' was Cilla, nasal, voice like a foghorn. I wouldn't willingly listen to either but am, clearly, wrong.

Let's see if we can find some male singers to dump on

I've no interest in Kylie, but find it odd that in this thread so many successful female performers are dismissed, with very little mention/criticism of males. :(

You’re being unreasonable to have not noticed it for the last 30 years.

I still love Kylie though. Not enough to pay money to see her live, but love her.

@Juells - thisnisnt about sexism this is about it being able to sing .... like Cliff Richard maybe

Rod Stewarts new release is just bloody awful, as is Cliff Richards. They really should stop recording.

As we're looking for equality, I was subjected to a few minutes of Cliff's new offering the other morning on tv. It was alarming. A 75? Year old man, clad in black leather, gurning and er, gyrating to record number 104. Not good.
