Are there any singers whose voice you intensely dislike ?

James Blunt is one that springs to my mind.
High pitched warbler who can't hold a note.

James Bunt. Singer/Songwriter or Cockney rhyming slang?

I think the problem is he's not really a 'blokes' singer is he? His type of 'warbling' appeals more to females.

Billy Eyelash

With apologies to @Richard A Thackeray , Stuart Staples (Tindersticks) He doesn't does sing so much as stutter out tortured sentences. I just can't listen to it.

Quite a few years back we went to see Kylie over here. It was more cabaret than concert, with a huge dance troupe.
I have to say, the recording studios work miracles with her voice. Thankfully, she mimed around half the songs as she pranced around.

I think her act unashamedly camp cabaret. It's ought be no surprise that she's both gay icon and drag queen fave.

Elvis Costello.. Awful nasal noise

I'm with you. Weird thing is that I really liked him back in the day. I've several albums I now can't listen to!

Most of those breathy young female singers who were in the room when the hired songwriters were creating her song.

Are there any current voices that will stand the test of time ?

it was novel/cool when Nenah Cherry did it... but it's just the norm/boring these days

That £&$% that calls himself The Streets. I really don't know what people like about it. Maybe it's amateur-chic, or something

 

[Drago]

Johnny Rotten. Get a grip man.

 

[Kingfisher101]

Biffy Clyro absolute trash.
