Most Annoying Vocalist

[palasr]

Can't believe no has mentioned Barbra Streisand. Fingernails on a chalkboard or a dragging tailpipe are more pleasant to listen to. Plus, she spells her first name wrong.

 

[paulski]

Mick Hucknall

 

[Big Tabs]

Nick Cave, easy

I second that, his voice winds me up more than his face.

My biggest irritation is Billy Holiday.

 

[Joe Hutch]

I always think of her as 'Brabra', just to annoy her.

- Bono

- Florence & the Machine

My biggest irritation is Billy Holiday.

You are in a tiny little minority to think that.

 

[ex brickie]

I agree Bjork but would add

Adele
Kate Bush

 

[Ian Hughes]

Melisma, autotune, nasal and any singer that sounds like a sheep being tickled (you know who you are Johnny Mathis)

 

[Cheese]

Yoko Ono. Now top that.

 

[monkfish]

Yoko Ono. Now top that.

That's killed it.

 

[Whaleblue]

Morrissey, Paul Weller, Florence, Roger Daltrey, Lucy Rose, Thom Yorke.

Now you've done it!

 

[abbott]

Good Call as the man from the Fosters ad would say!

Be surprised if anyone tops that.

 

[Mescalito]

Tiny Tim
The Legendary Stardust Cowboy
Roger Chapman (But I love Family!)

Chris

 

[johnv]

Queen, Mika, Leo Sayer and that f*cking muppets thing that Simon Mayo always plays on fridays
Susan Boyle

 

[PhilCTTE]

Queen, Mika, Leo Sayer and that f*cking muppets thing that Simon Mayo always plays on fridays
Susan Boyle

Well if you would listen to radio 2 what do you expect.

Bang on with Mika !

 

[Beobloke]

How have we got to page 4 with no-one mentioning Adele? Can't stand her, although I'm am a tiny bit impressed that she can mange to be both flat and a shrieker at the same time...

Oh and that chav idiot Mike Skinner from The Streets - he pushes me to the edge of violence whenever I hear him.

 

[waxkinglyrical]

Andy Stewart, Moira Anderson and Kenneth MacKellar alongside any other "tartanry" crap - don't mind the Reid brothers though.

Before anyone north of the border gets upset I am a son of the rock...
