Who Is The Most Annoying Female Singer

[Parche]

I pick Edie Brickell, and Alanis Morrisette

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

:hi:

[malta blue]

1. Mariah Carey

Oh wait - yeah I suppose people consider her a "singer"

:puke:

[redqueen]

4. Yeah... all that high pitched crap... ugh.

Okay, we get it, you can sing really high notes. Now please fucking stop. It sounds like an incitment to violence.

[malta blue]

5. It makes me feel anxious. My heart starts racing and I

start to sweat when I am subjected to that crap.

[Ava]

9. you beat me to it

that was the first name that popped into my head when i saw the title of this thread, lol

[hyphenate]

40. My SIL and I

had an argument about Carey. She likes her, and I said I had too many glass valuables in the house that could conceivably get damaged if I listened to her. It went over my SIL's head completely.

[underpants]

69. She sings? I was supposed to care?

[Beaverhausen]

2. Celine Dion

[femmocrat]

8. Oh absolutely!

My choice as well.

[Canuckistanian]

29. Yup.

No argument here.

[stuntcat]

31. yah, Celine

she has a way of DECLARING everything she's singing.. like LISTEN, OH LISTEN, TO MY AMAZING VOICE :eyes:

[newmajority]

36. Without a doubt

Or without a "doot", since she's Canadian.

[Bzzzz]

47. Absofuckinglutly...

[BarenakedLady]

50. Yup.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

73. Her French stuff is better than her English stuff.

The song from Titanic is a total suckwad number.

Her French stuff is better, and she has a very good voice for a pop singer. Much better than Madonna or Britney.

[Monk06]

88. Lousy singer. Classy dresser though ...........

[TZ]

3. Brittney Spears...

Nuff said.

[LeftyMom]

6. Gwen Stefani.

:nuke:

[grannylib]

13. Oh, I love her voice! I always thought she was very talented, as

a writer, singer, etc. - although I do wish she'd leave the rap/hip-hop shit alone.

[OhioChick]

33. Agreed...Wholeheartedly. n/t

[Skittles]

38. DITTO

that little-girl breathy shit makes me feel nauseated

[OhioChick]

81. Like that

Hollaback Girl shit?

[Shakespeare]

7. Bjork.

In fact, she's downright scary.

[mwdem]

11. I'll second that!

Her voice is like nails on a blackboard.

[bif]

55. Pure genius

Either you get her, or ya don't.

[Shakespeare]

56. I just love the false logic of somebody who asserts that my distaste for an artist is due to...

...."not getting her."

[khashka]

61. Sometimes it can be that

and sometimes they just don't appeal to you or even actively irritate you.

There some popular singers that just make me wanna drive an icepick into my ears when I hear their voice!

Khash.

[Shakespeare]

62. To make that pronouncement on a mostly anonymous message board is silly.

I have extremely broad taste in music, training in music, and for a while was a music reporter. The idea that I "dont' get" something music-related is hilarious. It's also presumptuous and rude.

[Orrex]

76. The same is invariably said about "Fight Club"

1. I get it.
2. I still find it trite and obvious.

Yet some wacky so-and-so's laud it as the greatest fifteen hours in the history of cinema.

What? You mean it isn't fifteen hours? My mistake...


FTR: I'd been a Bjork fan since The Sugarcubes.

[Beaverhausen]

10. Madonna

:boring:

[grannylib]

12. Celine Dion; and I love Alannis' music, but I can't take much of

her voice.
And Dolores O'Riordan too.

[bbernardini]

14. Sheryl Crow and Stevie Nicks.

RIP Kevin Gilbert.

[mountainvue]

83. Cripes. Still riding the bitter pony I see. n/t

[Zavulon]

15. Since it's been at least five minutes since someone's flamed me, I'll answer.

Keeping in mind that I'm naming the one who annoys ME the most, here goes: Janis Joplin.

:hide:

[Gormy Cuss]

18. And you call yourself a liberal! Troll!

:spank:
j/k.

If you don't like Joplin, avoid Susan Tedeschi. Trust me on this.

[Zavulon]

30. Thanks :)

Actually, the few conservatives I hang out with all like Joplin. Then again, they're all old enough to have seen her live and remember the show. If I had seen her live, maybe my attitude would be a bit different.

Truth be told, I'm not a Springsteen fan, either. :hide:

I like Foghat, Iron Maiden, Rush - and, I'm not proud to say, that's pretty much half of the bands I like right there. I'm not much of a music fan, truth be told.

I'll take your word on Tedeschi, thanks for the tip :hi:

[khashka]

59. You freakin' monster!

Get out of the lounge, now!

Khash.

[Lautremont]

16. The one from 10,000 Maniacs.

Bulletin: The word "try" is not pronounced "tchy."

[greenbriar]

17. brittany spears

and Hannah Montana

[Miss Carly]

19. Shania twain

Carly

[Danger Mouse]

20. How on earth could somebody not have mentioned FERGIE?

she is vile.

[ScreamingMeemie]

45. Because, that's not singing...it's bouncing around on the stage

and shouting. :)

[DarkTirade]

78. That's pretty much my thought too.

Pukeworthy, but not music.

[raptor_rider]

21. Whitney Houston

"I Will Always Love You" was Dolly's. Could never stand her since she re-made that song.

[nomorenomore08]

22. Courtney Love, just because she hasn't been mentioned yet.

Listen to any of her softer stuff, and it becomes obvious just how lacking in vocal talent she is.

[DarkTirade]

23. Oh, you did not just talk 'bout Alanis...

:P

Seriously, there are hordes of talentless pop stars with robotically controlled voices, and you pick Alanis as the most annoying? Perspective, man, perspective.

[flvegan]

24. Actually, I think both Edie and Alanis are fantastic.

I'll take them over any of the pre-fab idiocy that passes for pop(ularity) music these days.

I sound defensive. It's because I love Alanis.

Alanis...call me.

[DarkTirade]

79. I might have to fight ya for her.

Crap... without the icons I didn't realize it was you.

In that case... um... turn around while I innocently grab this 2x4... :P

[dolo amber]

25. Tori Amos

Bleargh. Natalie Merchant gets an honorable mention.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

27. Say it ain't so!

Well, I guess she is an acquired taste. I have acquired it.

[XemaSab]

43. LIES!

:o

[Orrex]

77. I CAST YOU OUT!

:spank:

[Fox Mulder]

26. Amy Winehouse

and any other current pop sensations.

[Danger Mouse]

71. Crackheads don't count.

[mountainvue]

84. Winehouse is no flash in the pan.

She's actualy talented. I hope she gets herself together.

[newmajority]

85. When Keith Richards is telling you to get clean

You got a drug problem!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zPJVj-0lnQ

[Canuckistanian]

28. Celine Dion

Actually, she's mostly hated in her own province of Québec because she sings only in English.

Ths rest of us Anglophones (English speakers) just think she's a sell-out.

[ThatsMyBarack]

32. Yoko Ono!

I've never heard her sing, but I know...:puke:!

I've done well avoiding hearing her "singing" voice. (knocks wood!)

[Lasher]

87. It's like scraping fingernails on a blackboard.

Trust me on this.

[PeaceNikki]

34. Fiona Apple

[Lydia Leftcoast]

35. Most of the current pop singers I've heard

Most of them would be pathetic without electronic enhancement. I have a particular dislike of the ones with the little girl voices who snuggle up to the microphone and think that distorting their vowels, going off key, and not keeping up with the accompaniment makes them the equal of the great jazz singers.

[Skittles]

37. hands down, Natalie Merchant

that shaky, tinny, thin voice just gets on my last nerves...I have had to leave stores rather than listen to her whiny drivel :puke:

[hyphenate]

39. Oh, goodness

There are way too many to name! Ummm...the only one who really annoys me nowadays, but it might just be the song, but that stupid "humping" song they used in the commercial, I think it was for the iPod, though it could have been Old Navy or The Gap, because it took place in a store dressing room. (Yes, I'm ignorant on this modern music stuff--so sue me!) :)

[CreekDog]

41. Barbra Streisand

:rofl: yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Left Is Write]

42. So very much with you on the Edie Brickell.

[XemaSab]

44. This requires a poll

:P

[Tabasco_Dave]

46. This one tops them all

http://youtube.com/watch?v=XfzFAXAlA_g :hippie:

[annonymous]

48. Whitney Houston and Edie Brickell

Both are annoying as hell. Whitney Houston absolutely ruined I Will Always Love You with her vocal dramatics.

[Mad_Dem_X]

49. Recent ones: Alanis, Britney, Fergie. nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

51. Gwen Stefani.....

This s__t is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S! This s__t is bananas, B-A-N-A-N....SHUTTI!!!!!!

Her "pouty" voice reminds me of Bernadette Peter's character from "The Jerk" except it is all too real.

[B3Nut]

57. She gets a vocal tone on that horrid piece of sonic trash

That makes it sound as if her head is, indeed, cavernously empty.

[BarenakedLady]

52. Scarlett Johansson should keep her day job

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBBJLYFEPao

[Parche]

89. I Forgot To Mention DIDO

Gawd i despise her music
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :grr: :grr: :grr:
And she forgot the 'L' in her name

:woohoo:

[bif]

53. Abby Lincoln & Dakota Staton

[eyepaddle]

54. Bjork

Now I'm not saying I don't repsect her or any such thing--she has quite the artistic aesthetic, I'm just saying I'd rather pound ten penny nails into my thighs than ever own one of her albums.

[nytemare]

58. Mariah Carey

She can scream really high. I get it. Now please stop her before all dogs go deaf.

[SacredCow]

60. Have to go with Fergie...

"My Hump" alone is worthy of a slap....

[racaulk]

64. And why does she have to spell everything?

:puke:

[SacredCow]

65. She never got over the failed audition...

for the Electric Company....

[racaulk]

66. Then it's a good thing she had that stint on "Kids Inc." to fall back on!

:rofl:

[racaulk]

63. Michelle Branch.

Hands down. In her song "Everywhere," every line ends with "uh." Listen to it again if you don't believe me. Observe:

Turn it inside out so I can seeuh
The part of you that's drifting over meuh
And when I wake you're never thereuh
But when I sleep you're everywhereuh
You're everywhereuh

Just tell me how I got this faruh
Just tell me why you're here and who you areuh
'Cause every time I look you're never thereuh
And every time I sleep you're always thereuh

:puke:

Edie Brickell is a close second, though. :)

[Parche]

67. I Agree on that one

:woohoo: :hi:

[last_texas_dem]

74. Aww, Michelle Branch is my biggest all-time musician crush

I like a lot of her music and I don't think she's annoying- though you did nail down her phrasing on "Everywhere" pretty accurately. FWIW, I don't notice her doing that to the same extent on any of her other songs.

[mvd]

68. Like both of those

Yoko Ono, Bjork (especially newer Bjork stuff,) J-Lo, Paris Hilton, Kathie Lee Gifford are contenders - and Celine is overrated.

[MrCoffee]

70. Natalie Merchant

[DFW]

72. KATE BUSH!!!

And it ain't just because of the name, either!!!!!!

[triguy46]

75. Any of the young ululating bunch.

[Iggo]

80. Apologies in advance, but...

...Jewel's voice gets on my last nerve.

She shore is purdy, though.

[Aristus]

82. Cher.

I'd pay good money to never, ever hear that cheesy, overripe voice again.

And don't get me started on all that stretched-vinyl plastic surgery...

[Lil Missy]

86. I can't believe no one has mentioned Debbie Boone. n/t
