Not sure if it has already been said but...

Amy flippin Winehouse, someone put her out of her misery. Sher is without doubt the most over rated feamle singer for a long time, and if you agree and think her singing is bad you just wait till you hear her talking. Fingers down a blackboard anyone?

Molesworth · 07/02/2007 10:29

I love Amy Winehouse's voice! She was fantastic on Jools Holland's Hootenanny

Although I admit she is bloody weird

grouchyoscar · 07/02/2007 10:35

I can't cvope with James Blunt. He has a really whingy whiny voice.

It also sticks in my throat that I know of better singer songwriters who get no credit at all.

MerlinsBeard · 07/02/2007 10:36

Sting...?? i like his voice!

Agree with the wibbling (lol!)

dido has a voice like an untuned guitar
lily allen wouldn't know a tune if it was blasting out of her chav mobile
robbie is too arrogant to be able to sing properly altho he did used tobe able to
who else

oooooh him with the wobbly head...David Grey?
daniel "gotta get thru this" bedingfield

Tbh, my local karaoke night has more talent than most of the charts!

Molesworth · 07/02/2007 10:39

rofl at david gray being "him with the wobbly head"

he really is shit though isn't he

MerlinsBeard · 07/02/2007 10:42

i have never ever seen him keep his neck still!

Amy winehouse...Amy Wino more like and she sounds pissed too

emma bunton...ok voice but by god is it dull

who else can i slag off

UnquietDad · 27/02/2007 15:57

As several people have already mentioned Mariah, I'll have to go for the over-rated Eva Cassidy. I have to switch the radio off every time she comes on.

UnquietDad · 27/02/2007 15:58

And that whining, ferrety little shit Jay Kay out of Jamiroquai.

expatinscotland · 27/02/2007 16:01

Lily Allen.

Lily Allen.

Lily Allen.

Booboobedoo · 27/02/2007 16:10

Tom Jones.

It's.

Just.

Shouting.

Love Amy Winehouse.

Hate whoever sings that 'diamond day' song from the mobile phone commercial where the bloke bounces off the pavement. Joni Mitchell was the only one who ever carried off that style of performance IMO.

Booboobedoo · 27/02/2007 16:10

(Don't anyone tell me that is Joni Mitchell - I shall be so ashamed).

SaintGeorge · 27/02/2007 16:12

No, not Joni. It is Vashti Bunyan.

UnquietDad · 27/02/2007 16:12

"it's just shouting" covers all rappers too.

AllieBongo · 27/02/2007 16:13

Lily allen just talks, ronan keating, belinda carlisle was always rotten, all of the spice girls, and mark from take that

UnquietDad · 27/02/2007 16:15

Belinda Carlisle had a certain style.

But Ronan Keating sounds like bleating.

AllieBongo · 27/02/2007 16:18

yes, the style of someone who had smoked 1000s mayfair and had her windpipe crushed by an elephant

Booboobedoo · 27/02/2007 16:19

Anyone remember Carol Decker? Ouch.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 27/02/2007 16:22

Oh....SO MANY!!!!!

Ronan 'Give it some welly' Keating
Jessica Simperingson AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHH
Madonna
Kylie
Mark from Take Twat
Chris Martin
Katie Melua - I thought 'Closest Thing To Crazy' was a spoof when I first saw it
Girls Aloud all sound the same (Nadine is the only one you can tell is different, and only just)
Who was the other gay one from Boyzone who came out - he was RUBBISH. STEPHEN GATELY - that's it.

OMG you've got me started now.

Michell McManus - professional fat bird (I think that's why she won whichever version of karaoke comp it was that she won)
Mika
The Feeling. I'm sure Frank Spencer sings 'Rose'

I'm going before I get too worked up. I care about music too much.

prettymum · 27/02/2007 16:23

amy winehouse
kylie
girls aloud

UnquietDad · 27/02/2007 16:27

that Justin Timberland
and the Bedingfields
and anyone from X-Factor

Tinker · 27/02/2007 16:29

Ronan Keating has a pub singer voice.

If you write lyrics like Dylan you don't need to be able to sing well

cremolafoam · 27/02/2007 16:30

Girls Aslag
i mean Girls Aloud

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 27/02/2007 16:31

Oh yes UD. Natasha Bedingfield. Screeching bitch. Puts on a voice.

KezzaG · 27/02/2007 16:32

Has Liam Gallagher had a mention yet? Bad attitude and bad voice.
