I'll also add DL fave Raul Esparza. His voice isn't good, he's just loud, and I hate his bleating vibrato. I want to scream when people rave about him and his horrid version of "Hallelujah." Leonard Cohen would spin in his grave if he heard it. It's a disgrace to the song and to the genius of Cohen.

A less than perfect voice can be fine if the material is right like with a lot of the singer songwriters who actually wrote what they sing. Doesn't bother me. Some singers show more technical perfection but they don't have any warmth or show connection to the song, like Christina Aguilera. It's just gymnastics.

R139 Hey Jude is actually a very touching song. Paul wrote it for John's estranged, young son Julian Lennon after John left him and his mother for The Dragon Lady, Yoko Ono.
Paul took a fatherly interest in Julian and visited him when he could. They changed the name from Hey Jules to Hey Jude to make it more trendy and to please John who was nervous about the song. It ended up being the biggest hit single that The Beatles ever had.
When John died, Julian and his mother had been completely left out of the Will and everything went to Yoko and her son. John was super talented but he could also be a flakey asshole.

peter cetera for sure , wtf was that voice? Did they have auto tune back then? His songs were so fucking lame to boot.

I know the criteria is voice but I want to mention Janet's whisper coo as deeply annoying.

And Rufus Wainwright drones. Horrible. And when he sings with his much more talented family he does everything he can to drown out the other voices. The worst.

How dare you R46 utter such blasphemy. Freddie Mercury was a vocalist god.
Carol Channing's post op tranny voice gives me seizures.
Tiny Tim had the kind of voice that makes Faustian contracts credible
Xtina Aguilera must've been a banshee in a previous incarnation. Her shrieks are cochlear compromising

Christitney and all its imitators.
Melismatics.
All who have had their voices autotuned (or whatever new descriptor they may be using nowadays). I don't know their names. They all sound like the same singer.

I find Rufus Wainwright hard to listen to, too. I used to think it was just the recording quality on his Judy album, but no, the man has a serious vocal problem that should have been confined to the shower. One often wishes his parents had been attorneys or tech people.

I second Celine Dion. Her accent if off putting; though the Titanic song is GOAT and she her voice is decent there.

Christina has an extraordinary voice; too bad she has no control or restraint during her live performances.

r35, your buggin. Beyonce has one of the best vibratos in pop music. Her technical delivery is unmatched amongst her peers.

Well the indie hipster nerds and wannabe critics won’t like this but: Tom Waits, Stephen Malkmus, Joanna Newsom, maybe even GUYVILLE era Liz Phair although I liked her some of her other albums and singles. If I had to choose between the queenie bottom artists (Judy/Liza, Babs, Queen B, Madge, Bette, Cher, Gaga and Britbrit) and the artsy fartsy or emotionless hipstery stuff it’d be a close one but if they got rid of Spears I’d probably lean toward the queenie’s side (especially I plan on getting laid ;) I swear it seems like Britney only gained her following because of SYMPATHY: she turned 35 so she lost her core listeners than she played Vegas. I know the gays liked her before but one she hit her mid 30s she skyrocketed to icon status. Oh well, I’ll stick to lipsycing word for word every song in the Cocteau Twins catalogue ;)

Adele. Her voice does not have any vibrato at all, it's grating and not at all pretty even to listen to.

Zack from Rage Against the Machine. I don’t mind the harder stuff but he’s so whiney and shrieky & not even in just his voice but even his songwriting if you can call it that. It was nothing we hadn’t heard before with all the angry punks I used to hear on Rodney’s station in LA only they did it better. Yeah it was rap and metal but even that had been done before. I’ll take Audioslave any day.
