"Amy Winehouse...so bad I can't even listen to her "

I never understood the obsession with her. Both her singing and talking voices were like finger nails down a chalkboard, fucking ruined epiodes of Buzzcocks when she was on.

On another note theres a Hardcore band Knocked Loose who's singer sounds like when you step on a dog's tail. Saw them last, they were alright but a guy behind me kept doing this spot on impression of the singer which was really annoying.

Another vote for Sam Smith. He had a good voice, then didn't. Instant switch off for me.

I will probably get slung in the Tower for criticising a national treasure but Paul McCartney can no longer sing. His latest single is a nice enough song but boy his voice is bad.

Not someone in particular but I don't enjoy female high pitch opera singers, although I shouldn't probably put them in a "worse" singers thread , they probably belong in a "best" singers thread it's just that I don't enjoy

No I will be long retired!

Other octogenarians can still sing, McCartney can’t. His voice was never that good, now age has caught up.

He's one of the greatest songwriters of all time. That's what his reputation is built on, not his singing voice.

Agree with Elton John he had a great voice in his prime but he’s definitely lost it now it’s no where near as powerful as it was

People who haven't seen Kylie live can't understand how good her voice is, nor why her voice is the way it is.

That said, the drumming on Girl You Know It's True is spectacular. Unlike a lot of tracks from that time they aren't from a drum machine, and were played by German session drummer Curt Cress. I'm a drummer and for many years I've thrown it into the middle of songs for a couple of bars, just for a laugh.
