We've had great voices, so it's only right we have a thread of singers you can't stand. I'll start...
Adele
Ellie Goulding
Leann Rimes
Celine Dion
Brian Johnson.
Bono - I think a very unnatural singer but has trained his voice
Suggs - never heard him sing - he just talks
Kevin Rowland - lyrics are a complete mystery

He sings he is just shite at it!
Cher, extremely limited talent but that warbling shite in 'do you believe in,life after love' makes me want to bash my head in against a wall.
Maradona is shite too.
The boy bands
Mariah Carey
Bruce Springsteen
Beyonce
Kayne
Adele
All rappers
Will Young
Cliff Richard
Adele
Sam Smith
Adele is hauntingly brilliant!
Maybe it is popular to hate a world class talent, or she is too heavy for her haters? I dont know!

She just sounds like some woman whinging. A bit like Muppet, Eamon and J70 in here ;)

A whingy cow. Can't stand her voice. I physically can't listen to it. I have to switch her off if I ever hear her voice. Ellie Goulding, the same.

Cher didn't sing, she shouted.
Couldn't pass judgement on Maradona, never heard him sing, quite good at footie though.

Bono - I think a very unnatural singer but has trained his voice
I know ireland as a nation has an irrational hatred towards u2, but Orior, seriously, that line is absolutely ridiculous. Why not just say " Bono, as I think he's a cnut". He's a brilliant singer imo and I've zero gra for U2

Agree 100% about Bono's voice JOG2..while there are other examples this is brilliant imho...

Bono is a tit. Can't stand the bollix. But he can hold a note. That's about it. He's no Pavarotti like.
For me, it's not about holding a note. Mariah Carey can do that, and she's complete shite (as is everyone who thinks singing is about producing every note known to man in the one word). For me, it's about inducing a feeling, raising the hairs on the back of the neck and that's always going to be subjective. Bono doesn't do it for me, but he's certainly not a terrrible singer.
Mariah Carey is not complete shite.
Yes, she is.
I suppose for this thread it's singers you can't listen to and have to turn off. Repulsed by their voice.

Yeah, that's it exactly for me. Mariah came on in the supermarket the other day and I had to leave.

+1 - great example as well
On the other threads I have agreed that the Edge and Larry Mullen are good but not great (you could also put Adam Clayton in this bracket), the standout part of U2's music is Bono's voice.
Especially live, was always amazed at how good he, and the band, sounded live - always loved this performance:

I bet Kurt Cobain was called that in his lifetime - and Bowie, Morrison, Hendrix - only thing Bono did wrong was survive.
If he had have died from a drug overdose, wasting all that God given talent, twenty years ago, we would be flying into Dublin Bono airport by now, and no Irishman would be calling him a tit.
Wouldn't use the word 'hate'... seems a decent aul skin but Brian Kennedy's voice really grates with me... like scraping your fingernails on a black board

Alright alright, you're not on Miss World, BBB ;)
Bonzo's voice doesn't repulse me, but hes still a tit.
