10 Worst Singers Of All Time

In the latest issue of Q magazine they had an article on the top 100 singers of all time. They also had the Top 10 worst and here it is.






(10) Ozzy Osbourne
Once a metal powerhouse, he now sings like he speaks. This may be a cause for sympathy but not for buying his albums.








(9) Fred Durst
Did Poor little Freddie have an unhappy childhood? Apparently so, which is presumably why he chooses to whine like a four-year-old about it.








(8)Celine Dion
Her heart will go on. As do her songs. Though they would be shorter if she didn't grind out every note as if bearing some kind of grudge against the very notion of economy







(7)Mariah Carey
How do you solve a problem like Mariah? Tell her to stop squawking. She may have a 100 octave range and the ability to sing so loudly that birds nests fall from trees, but it doesn't make it right.







(6)Einar Orn Benediktsson
Who? well while Bjork and the other members of the band "the sugarcubes" were making really good indie music they were ruined by this pub karaoke bore bellowing over them.








(5)Heather Small
She was in M people and sounded like a saxophone. that is all







(4) Yoko Ono
Blessed with a voice that even John Lennon couldn't love. For obvious reasons never photographed with cats












(3)Nick Heyward
Was a sap in a band called haircut 100. No? me neither. apparently he was really twee. Any more twee and he would be comparing his girlfriend to a "little steam whistle." Actually , he did that.






(2)Bobby Gillespie
So you've taken all the drugs in the world and you've not got fat. This doesn't mean you sound like peak-period mick jagger, OK!




(1)Any Death Metal Singer EVER
YES, life is crap, YES, you're a virgin at 25 and YES everyone hates you. But please stop shouting about it.

I dispute number one on the grounds that Q is bollocks

i agree 100% with macka. Q is almost as bad as the NME when it comes to music (the NME award for best band of the year goes to...My Chemical Romance...are you sure??) ...and considering that all they do is music that says a lot. id be interested to see their top 10 BEST singers, id almost guarantee that they're all pants/painfully obvious choices

I knew it would be a mistake to post something musical on the blog as I knew there would be a general lambasting of my views. People seem to forget that musical taste is purely opinionated and so are general music publications. Nowhere does it state in Q that their views are definatetive and neither should it. Democracy is a wonderfull thing and I don't understand peoples perceived snobbyness towards what they consider as a lower grade of music. There is understandably alot of music out at the moment that I find to be not my taste and quite frankly rubbish, but it is not my place or anyone elses to definitivly judge it, cast our opinions and degragate anyone who finds that music enjoyable. If anyone askes my view on a certain track or band I will wholeheartedly give my opinion on it but in no way will I preach my opinion as gospel and nor will I attempt to press my views towards individuals.

I don't want to get into any arguments as they really piss me off so I will laeve it at that.
