February 19, 20196 yr Never been a massive fan of Cher's voice oops, also, Ms Dynamite. And Charli on her more shouty/pop songs is just too loud for me altho her more alt stuff is wonderful.
February 19, 20196 yr I'm sure she's a lovely person and talented and I don't really consider myself to have a 'least favourite vocal in music' but I am another one who will mention Florence :') I've enjoyed a handful of the songs (where maybe the vocal doesn't bother me) but overall I don't enjoy her voice.
February 19, 20196 yr Maybe a more unusual one but I'm not a fan of Mel C's voice. It's too saccharine for me and I noticed especially on her solo stuff, in Spice Girls she's okay but that's cause it's not usually more than 4 lines in a row solo. Allie X and Demi Lovato can be pretty pitchy even if the songs are top notch.
February 19, 20196 yr Demi Lovato is definitely one I would call overrated. Coming across her on American forums the delusion is real. Sure she has a great range and power but the interest ends there.
February 20, 20196 yr Jason Derulo and singers with a similar tone, it's ridiculously stylised and fake and I just hate it. Anyone that sounds like they're trying to show off "how good their voice is" when they sing which can include oversinging (already mentioned). It just kills songs and only screams that the singer has a massive ego and the song is only there as a vehicle for them showing off their "amazing" voice, Jessie J is of course a prime example. There's a time an a place for vocal acrobatics *used sparsely* at the right moments because that way it's actually impressive, people want dynamic range and progression throughout a song, not full intensity the whole time. If a singer's trying to show off their voice the whole time it'll 1: mean that it's not a special moment since it's happening throughout the song 2: it makes it sound like they're overcompensating not having a very interesting tone by overstylising their singing rather than just singing honestly and 3: they're overpowering the rest of the song and making it solely about the singing when vocals are - while an important aspect - still just one aspect. Unless it's acapella or karaoke the vocals should somewhat blend with the mix, not sit above it.

May 23May 23 Florence from those already mentioned. Patrick Stump's vocals grate on me in doses too but then again it hasn't stopped me liking the Gym Class features I guess.
May 23May 23 I got told off for saying this recently, but Joy Division/Ian CurtisLove Will Tear Us Apart is such an amazing song, but Ian Curtis cannot sing on it. II also personally struggle with AC/DC. The screeching voice

May 23May 23 Although I like her, I can sort of see it with Olivia as she does that breathy/cursive thing sometimes (although not to the extent of key offenders like Webb and McRae)
