singers who can't sing, voices that are overrated...

[lucykate]

give me a minute, my minds gone blank, all i can think of are bucks fizz

OMG

Shirley Bassey -- you're meant to be singing not shouting luv!

Guess it's more 'THEATRE' with her really ...

Simon Le Bonbon

Just so whiney

I rather like Peter Pears ...

Mariah "pick a note, any note" Carey
Whitney Houston
Madonna
James Blunt
Katie Melua
Paul McCartney
Hell, and John Lennon too ... I hate Imagine with a passion
Mass appeal opera singers who have actually never sung in an opera ... Charlotte Church, Russell Watson, Lesley Garrett spring to mind
Anyone who thinks that singing VERY LOUDLY = passion
Elvis Presley ... very overrated

HOOTING @ "Tom Cruise: intense, grin, run"

While I cosy up to FP to ogle Neil Hannon, it gives you more room to adore Ian Bostridge jura . You have met him so it is nice to know he is such a good guy in RL.
I do think I am not naturally drawn to angsty tenor repertoire or vocal style.
Despite being proud owner of useless tiny choirgirl soprano, I find the contralto/dark mezzo/lusty baritone range much more seductive to listen to. So not really poor Ian's fault I guess.
Next you'll be telling me Simon Keenlyside is a total *rse...

WWb, Lesley did a good long stint at ENO before she became an annoying sleb

Gawd yes, Katie Melua ...

whiny voice

whimsical lyrics ...

get orf my land!

Ah - perhaps I'll let Lesley off then, Marina.

Still don't like her voice much, though

Tanita-two notes-Tikarem (sp?)

Although bizarely DID quite like 'Twist in my sobriety'

So my spectrum of dislike is from the two-noters to the multi-warblers ...

Cilla Black

oh wwb! "Mariah "pick a note, any note" Carey" made me pmsl.

WWB, I saw Lesley Garret at the ENO years ago before she morphed into the public-cheeky-chirpy-chapess that she soooo irritatingly is.

No one mentioned STING?

DH reckons Mariah sounds like a therumin falling downstairs

That bloke in Razorlight who loves himself in his skinny white jeans yuk! Johnny Burrel?

Chris Martin. He strains and strains for those high notes.. and still doesn't reach them. And nobody seemed to have noticed but me!

Although Gwyneth did make Apple wear ear muffs when Coldplay did Live 8.. and she only listened to her dad's bit! What a caring mother you are Gwynnie!

James Blunt has a fantastic voice! I suppose it's an acquired taste.. but I can't, in all seriousness, see how anyone could say he can't sing

Bob Dylan.....couldn't carry a tune in a carrier bag!

Whitney Houston....pick a bloody note and stick to it woman!

Kylie! Bless her, but she cannot sing.

Oh, yes, Madonna is utterly rubbish too.

Mariah - madder than a bag of spanners
Katie Melua
Gwen Stefani - not necessarily unable to sing but I just can't stand her

snort at can't carry a tune in a carrier bag

marina
i think dh does have some dirt on keenlyside..

Kylie and Danni Mingers - all hype no substance

Madonna - pass the ear plugs

Sting - always sounds flat to me

Robbie Williams - yuk!
