Who are worst singers who are famous and not some person doing karaoke?
As some of you may know, I like some technically very bad singers. However, I can't think about anything I like about Dave Davies's (from The Kinks) voice, apart from it's nice to hear someone other than Ray Davies singing on a Kinks track. 
I'm generally very tolerant of bad singing.
Joss Stone's voice really annoys me. I think I'll go with her as my least favourite voice.

Yes, and I used to enjoy the work of Raphael Saadiq
I can't think of any, but they abound, especially in popular music.
My least favourite voice is autotune

Out of tune is preferable to autotune. Give me a whole choir composed of Dave Davies clones rather than autotune.

He uses the same quality of singing voice as a bored kid working the KFC drive through uses

Bette Midler has always annoyed me. She just seems to shout louder as she goes up the scale. I don't understand why she is so rated.
Celine Dion. Argh.
James Blunt. Erk.
Michael Bolton. Meh.
John Barrowman. Great actor. Dire singer/entertainer.
Barry Manilow also can't sing. I mean listen to one of his albums (I have, repeatedly, at work). He actually has a bad voice.
Actually I seem to be picking people who sing ballads, or even worse POWER ballads. So maybe I just have a thing against those. Yup. |

Makes me think of how I feel about Shirley Bassey. Not exactly a shouter, but she seems to be incapable of singing at any other dynamic level other than bombastic

I like Barry Manilow's voice. Yes, I have listened to one of his albums because my (deaf) aunt would always play it in her car; she thought her passengers would like to hear music (being indifferent to what it was, herself). I ended up hearing that album a lot and quite enjoyed it, but that could just be nostalgia talking. I agree he's not a great singer.
James Blunt is universally accepted as annoying.
I think the correct response to Celine Dion is more like...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!

Richard Harris. I like him as an actor... well, okay, I like him as Rafer Janders, but MacArthur Park is a crime against music.
