OT: Popular vocalist you dislike (for any reason)

[Horatio]

Patti Labelle. Can we just “ sing” the song without screaming... all the time. Smh

 

[Waquoit]

The song is "Brand New Key" and the singer's name is Melanie.

I always got a smile out of that song..."Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far".

 

[Rixxx]

Taylor Swift....Talented musician and song writer. Puts on great shows. I just don't see the attraction to her as a singer. To me, she just doesn't have the pipes.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Elvis Presley
Otis Redding

Way harsh!

 

[donalddoowop]

Way harsh!

Two of the worst, imo.

 

[Steelerone]

Gene Chandler. Every time they played Duke Of Earl I wanted to choke, choke, choke him so the song would stop.

 

[Martin]

Eddie Vedder, Cris Cornell, any 90s Rock vocalists really.

 

[rvwsleep]

8675309 Jenny! Who would produce a recording that's off key?

Recorded before Auto-Tune and ProTools. Of course the result of using those advanced technologies is mostly homogenized muzak.

 

[Ellie]

Andy Williams because Pat Boone was taken!

 

[BostonBay]

Bob Dylan, Neil Young. Both brilliant songwriters, but their vocals are definitely an acquired taste.

 

[Carnac]

Billie Holiday. I don’t like her voice or style.

 

[bballnut90]

Beyonce'. I just don't get it. Didn't like her with Destiny's Child, and I don't like her solo. I'll take Rihanna any day.

I think she has an incredibly good voice but I've never really jived with her music.

 

[bballnut90]

Drake....I just don't get why he's so popular or what the draw is to his music.

 

[Scud49]

Led Zeppelin - gawd...except for the song "When the Levee Breaks" - just horrid stuff.

 

[VAUConnFan]

Diana Ross.

 

[meyers7]

Eddie Vedder, Cris Cornell, any 90s Rock vocalists really.

A couple of the best vocalist of all time.

 

[JonathanXIV]

Billie Holiday. I don’t like her voice or style.

Shame on you Carnac! Dissing on Lady Day.

 

[Carnac]

Shame on you Carnac! Dissing on Lady Day.

My apologies to all of her fans. I never acquired a "taste" for her voice or vocal stylings. I don't think I've ever listened to one of her songs all the way through. I became spoiled by what I believe to be some of the most beautiful voices in the last 70 years. Dinah Washington, Nancy Wilson, Spanky Wilson, Lena Horne, Brenda Lee, Patsy Cline, Karen Carpenter, Rosemary Clooney, Mariah Carey, Anita Baker, Chante Moore, Natalie Cole, Regina Bell, Whitney Houston, et.al. There are many others, too numerous to mention. Everyone has their favorites, these are mine.

 

[JonathanXIV]

Well, try listening to "Fine and Mellow" and "Autumn in New York." She will break your heart.

 

[Mdoggie]

Diana Ross.

Right. She never could sing, Mr Gordy made her career.

 

[Zanzman]

Right. She never could sing, Mr Gordy made her career.

You start the thread then you criticize someone’s opinion Smh

 

[WillB4]

The screaming wench, Mariah Carey,

 

[PoppaBear]

Phil Collins, Joe Walsh, and Peter Wolf
