The Top Ten
1 Justin Bieber Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette. ...read more.

Indisputably by far the worst singer of all time who is so filthy rich that he gets himself high on the smell of money and drunk on fame, really this man should not be allowed to so much as touch a microphone or gutiar.

He is very naive and rude. He went to the Philippines where he became irrational and impolite.

Justin Beaver shouldn't be on this list. He isn't a music artist, he's a music failure

Justin Beiber's music is stupid, and why is slayer on this list? They are awesome!

2 Nicki Minaj Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist. Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang". Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably distinctive for her fast flow and her use of alter egos with Cockney accent. She has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi. Minaj has received ten Grammy-nominations throughout her career, and has won multiple awards including the Billboard's Women in Music 2011 Rising Star award.

Why are Paramore on the list? They actualy play instruments and Hayley has a great voice. Nicki Minaj has none of that, relies on auto-tune, dreadful lyrics and is just completely unappealing.

I guess if you have no talent, put the booty on display. Unbelievable young people today listen to this crap.

Why is this thing a singer to begin with...

3 Miley Cyrus Miley Ray Hemsworth (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.

After that Miley had numerous worldwide hits, such as ''Party in the USA'', '' We Can’t Stop'', and ''Wrecking Ball''. On December 23, 2018 she got married to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth, but they divorced shortly after.

Who really wants to hear about someone being a fly on the wall?
She should have stuck to acting, since she is a drama queen.

Worst music artist ever.

13 Carrie Underwood Carrie Marie Underwood is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She rose to fame as the winner of the fourth season of American Idol, in 2005. Her debut album, Some Hearts, was released in 2005.

British Music will always be better than American Music...does anyone think that Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks, and this Carrie Underwood can beat brilliance like Blur, Oasis, Pulp, let alone THE BEATLES. I think NOT!

14 Taylor Swift Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift is best known for writing personal songs and has won 13 Grammy Awards... read more

I proudly support Taylor Swift being on here 100%. I hate when she breaks up with a guy writes a song all about him (when it was probably her who broke up with him) and makes millions, and I really hate how everyone says she innocent because last time I checked 16 guys I think in about 3 years, yup she must be innocent. Sorry for the rant buts it's true.

What is Hollywood Undead so high up on this list?!? Taylor Swift sings so out of tune and the only reason people don't realize that is because they edit her voice. She is so fake and untalented.

They're the worst boy band that's ever been famous.

Why are they not at the top of this list?

They must be on second place.

She has also released other songs, including "My Moment" and "Saturday".

Rebecca black sucks so much that she shouldn't be in this list... She's not a singer... Where is Jenna Rose? But still I hate Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus and Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga. I think Taylor Swift has a good voice...

Like, I hate Friday. But one direction is worse.

Don't like her at all, and hate everyone else in this list but can I ask why's Taylor Swift here? She's beautiful and talented and amazing. She shouldn't be here.

Kesha is an animal rights activist and she works for H.S.I. (Humane Society International). Kesha also stands up for L.G.B.T. rights in America

She is a freak and a slut who can't sing or do that drunk rap thing that she does. She relies on her nonexistent good looks and her crappy synthesizers to make her famous. Beyond a worse voice than most and an unnecessary dollar sign in her name, Ke$šśsha, is about as generic and typical as a cloud in the sky. Actually clouds look different from each other. With her booze, sex, drugs, and horrible singing, rapping, moaning, Ke$$$$$$$$h@ is most deserved of the century's number one worst artist.

She is definitely a candidate for the top spot.
