WORST FEMALE SINGERS:
Mariah Carey
Britney Spears

Wow, I think both of those women have great voices!

Mariah Carey has a great voice for sure!!! I can't believe shes on anyones worse voice list. WOW, I mean I don't like that type of music but I can hear how awesome her voice is.

rofl3.gif Mariah the psycho makes me sick. Her singing is atrocious. It's either whining or shrieking ala the villianess Shrieky on The Care Bears cartoons(Beastley was a funny bad guy and always got the short end of things)

interestingly, not all of my favorite groups are represented on my list. for example, there's paul mccartney and john lennon from the beatles and roger waters and david gilmour of pink floyd. two of my favorite groups, but i don't personally think among the greatest singers ever - all excellent mind you, but i really kept with listing the ones i thought had the greatest voices...

More than 1 person said Trent Reznor and that blows my mind totally. To me he sounds the same way in every song, also he sounds like he is talking more than singing. I mean NIN is a good band with good songs but to place him among the best singers is something that blows my mind. wacko.gif

Very good album they did Return Of the Champions although many gripe Queen should not go on without Freddie. If they had went on with George Michael it would have been more pop influence than rock!
