Top Ten Most Annoying Pop Artists of All Time

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.

First of all this annoying chicky bastard is not ANY kind of musician! I am not into Pop music much but whenever I have to hear his girly voice (like when my stupid neighbor plays justin beaver songs in her home theatre) I just can't bear it. Urghh Bieber should be No. 1 no doubt!

Not shocked at all that he's number one here. He's number one on practically every negative music list. The kid deserves it, though. His music is horrible, he sounds like he's getting kicked in the balls, and he's a terrible person. JB truly deserves number one on this list.

Personally, I don't think his music is any worse than most music played these days. But what gets to me is his personality. I think all this fame is getting to his head, because he's a complete d-bag.

To be honest it is probably what he has done rather than making terrible music that is the worst thing. His music is still pretty annoying but to be honest only 'Baby' is so bad that I actually HATE it...

2 Britney Spears Britney Jean Spears, born on December 2, 1981, is an American former singer and actress. She was born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana. As a child, she performed acting roles in stage productions and television shows, such as "The Mickey Mouse Club," before signing with Jive Records in 1997... read more

Can she even sing people all I hear is weird auto-tuned voice (I have got to say it is sooo weird) and bad music!

I don't like her song. She should be number 1. Britney spears is so annoying.

She can't sing and her lip syncing is so bad. She is an overatted piece of crap that should be left in the past

3 One Direction One Direction (commonly abbreviated as 1D) were a British-Irish pop boy band based in London, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously, Zayn Malik until his departure from the band on 25 March 2015. The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records ...read more.

Words can not describe how much I absolutely loathe them. They are creepy and way overhyped for their actual talent level.

And fans of One Direction don't care how they look? That's a blatant lie. I'm a 13 year old girl who listens to what I think is pretty good music. The other day a girl at my school, who was a major One Direction fan, got into a conversation about music with me. She asked me if I would still listen to a band (I think the band we were talking about was Breaking Benjamin...) if the people in the band weren't attractive. I told her yes, I care more about the music than the looks. The guys from Breaking Benjamin could be really ugly for all I know, (I have no clue what they look like. I listen for the music, not the people) and I would still listen to them.

So, please Directioners, don't lie to us. We know you're in it for their "good looks" and I use that term loosely.

Go listen to real music please.

They are ordinary singers, NOT a band... Everybody is like "ZOMGG DIRECTIONER! " and "I'M GONNA MARRY NIALL! " I don't get why everyone wants to marry them. After a girl won a sweepstakes to see One Direction, she ended up getting death threats from other fans. Really? Calm down, it's only a band with ordinary people like you. That proves the lack of maturity and self control this society has today. In addition, One Direction is just generally overrated and their songs all sound the same. They aren't any different from other mainstream artists. Listening to One Direction is the equivalent of having needles poked into your arm for an hour. Everywhere I go, I always have to hear them on the radio... It's pure torture. I wonder how long it took for them to ever get this far...

This is by far the worst band I have ever heard in my life! Mostly because their personalities are so disturbing and all of them sound exactly the same. I seriously have heard What Makes you Beautiful on the radio so many times... They play it at least once a day on every single station that plays popular music and they aren't even that cute or good at singing! And whenever I say that I hate them everybody looks at me like I just killed 7 people or something. But I've seriously seen pictures of them kissing each other on the lips... And it's either a really really really good edit or it's real.

While I can understand a lot of their success comes from their appearances and catchy tunes, they aren't talented and don't strive to be more than a petty boy band. Other artists in the past strive to be meaningful and artistic with their music but instead this group of boys has not changed much in the years they've been active.

4 Miley Cyrus Miley Ray Hemsworth (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is Mezzo-Soprano and has 4 octaves.

Where are yall haters at when she does something good like opens the Happy Hippie Foundation for rally young people to fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBT youth and other vulnerable populations?

Worst singer ever. Her voice is the worst sound I've ever heard. The beat in 6 FOOT 7 FOOT sounds better than her attempt to sing.

The girls voice sounds like a screechy dying cat! On top of that every time I hear her voice on the radio all I can think of is her big ugly teeth. I know that's really mean but so true :(

The Woman Honestly Can't Sing. And she's a spoispoiled brat who went from a wonderful role model to a Crazy Phycho teenage girl.

5 Rihanna Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American pop singer. Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, she first entered the music industry by recording demo tapes under the direction of record producer Evan Rogers in 2003. She ultimately signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning ...read more.

What?!? Does BBHMM and then goes straight back to innocent Latino with Shakira?!?! She has no originality, this just proves it. She just sings what she knows will get her cash

Has got a decent voice but tries to be always in the news with those awfully inappropriate dresses!

"Shine like a diamond in the sky..."
Diamonds don't shine, they REFLECT light, you daft cow.

She's not annoying, she's VERY annoying. She should be in the top 10.

6 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 11 Grammy Awards.

She developed an interest in country music when she was around nine years old. After watching a documentary about Faith Hill, Swift felt inspired to go to Nashville to begin a country music career. Subsequently,... read more

Katy perry was bullied at school. Michael Jackson got bashed at home. Everyone gets bullied at school. Do you really think any singer would Lose sleep at night over that anyway. People disrespected Michael Jackson cause he was black. Katy perry was bullied by her parents cause of her talent come on. Taylor swift hasn't. I hate Taylor swift and people need to learn about how she is behind closed doors. She is not that nice and sweet hearted as you think she is. Her face is so annoying. She looks like a five year old with boobs. I hate Taylor swift full stop the end of the story. If your really a fan look it up.

I hate this bitch with every ounce of my being. I hate her delusional cult of followers and her vile childish reason level that is guaranteed in the majority of her songs. She is the epitome of a so-called "innocent" sweet little blonde Pennsylvanian bitch we like to trust in her; "Oh gee, this Taylor bitch doesn't smoke or swear or drink isn't she so innocent and cute? Don't we just all want to kiss her ranchy succubus ass? " As a matter of fact, I don't buy into her ex-bashing music written by a manipulative, lying sociopathic pop star with the mental ability of a 15 year old girl. We can all throw our money at this snob and claim her our of tuned average voice and 3-chord guitar skill gives her credibility but all it does is reflect that society rewards mediocrity these days. I have never despised someone as much as Taylor Swift in my life.

7 Lady Gaga Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.

On the start of her career, she performed at an event called the Lollapalooza Festival during 2007 whereby a record label company Interscope found her due to her performance being “amusing” to watch. Since Interscope found her, she was a mastermind behind her songs with a team of producers namely Rob Fusari and RedOne. Most of her songs were deep unreleased cuts, due to her having more than 30 songs and 17 were picked. ...read more.

I feel sorry for the likes of Justin Bieber and One Direction who are pretty talented that you people just find annoying when I see nothing wrong with them, Lady Gaga, I just hate her, she is ugly, untalented and her songs absolutely suck!.

One of the best singers ever. Love her unique style. Note: you have to do something outrageous in order to be this high up in the pop industry.

She is really retarted you should see how she dresses especially on stage.

And... No applause for Applause. Ever. Not from me.

8 Chris Brown Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown (born May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. Born in Tappahannock, Virginia, he was involved in his church choir and several local talent shows from a young age. He is most well known for his physical assault towards the singer Rihanna in 2009. He is also known for many hit singles, such as "Kiss Kiss", "Run It!", "Forever", "Deuces", "Look At Me Now", "Loyal", "Ayo", and "Back to Sleep".
9 Rebecca Black Rebecca Black is a YouTube personality and singer who's infamous for her 2011 single "Friday," which was the most disliked video on YouTube until "Baby" by Justin Bieber became the most disliked video in 2012. She has also released other songs, including "My Moment" and "Saturday".

I hate justin bieber, but I find it strange that he's pretty much at the top of every single list where people vote for bad singers or bad music, and by so much- I'm talking 20-40% of the votes. Have you people even HEARD friday? A terrible singer singer a song she didn't even write but could have been written by a three year old.

OK people, she had one song that went viral. ONE TERRIBLE SONG! That's it! Has anyone even heard from her since 5 fateful years ago?

Come on now, as horrendous as "Friday" was, she doesn't deserve 3rd place for one song. Should she even be considered a pop "artist"? Does one song (one that it is universally despised) make somebody a recording artist? Besides the girl was only 13. You can't really blame her. It was the producer who released "Friday" thinking it was a good idea.

I actually don't hate rebecca but since she's the least I like among the other 9, I vote her laugh out loud! But did you notice that these Top Ten artists are very very famous. Being a kpop fan, I can say they are famous since I know them

10 Beyonce Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, is an American singer and actress, who started out in the popular pop/r&b girl group Destiny's Child. They had multiple top 5 hits such as "No, No, No", "Say My Name", "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Survivor", "Independent Women", "Bootylicious", and "Jumpin', Jumpin" from ...read more.

I think you are a classy lady and beautiful. You screwed up your image at Super Bowl 50. Come on Beyonce the world loves you regardless of you race and color. You can't do that kind of stuff on national television, you are a icon to many.

I feel that she thinks too much of herself and tries too hard to look humble and modest. I also think she feels as though she thinks she is the best role model for all black women.

This horrific excuse for a human being who sold her soul to the devil should be #1 and should just stop making and make all our lives better.

Thank You! Poor man's, dollar store clearance section RuPaul wanna be, yodeling, shallow, soul-less, glorified hoodrat stripper... you know its true, laugh out loud!

The Contenders
11 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.

She has zero talent and always looks confused. I don't understand why they have her as a judge for any talent competition, she's stupid, incompetent, and her hair always looks like a unicorn dumped on her head.

Why aren't people voting for her!? Justin Bieber, One Direction and Rebecca Black despite of being as bad as they are. They are at least inoffensive and young. Whereas, she is...

Recently she's been the most annoying rapper. She's a massive hypocrite and her music is really crap for kids and unemployed mentally challenged adults.

I can't stand this woman. She really believes she's all that, doesn't she? Well she should wake up from that dream of hers.

12 Ariana Grande Ariana Grande-Butera (born June 26, 1993) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Her four-octave vocal range has received critical acclaim, and her personal life has been the subject of widespread media attention. She has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including two Grammy ...read more.

Ariana. Don't even get me started on her. She DEFINITELY deserves to be in the top 5, at least. Ariana is a horrible singer, who is changing who she is. I, personally, liked Ariana when she wasn't popular or known very well. But now, since EVERYBODY knows her, she's changed for the worse. Her body, personality, the way she acts, the way she wants to act and her voice. She just makes me want to puke.

She just wants to show off and be all like "Look at me, I can hit the highest notes ever! ". Her voice sounds pretty impressive at first but when you listen to her songs for a second time, it gets pretty old. I don't get why people keep comparing her to Mariah Carey. Mariah is a legend, Ariana is a former Nickelodeon star that tries to make it in the music industry. That's a big difference.

I can sing like her sometimes...her voice is good and she has an amazing vocal range, but I do see how some people could find Ariana annoying.

Her T.V. is so annoing it sounds like mice and possums in a rap battle the main point is that voice is so annoing that it inter fears with her normal voice!

13 Kesha Kesha Rose Sebert (formerly known as Ke$ha) was born on March 1st, 1987 in Los Angeles, United States. She is best known for her hits like Timber, Tik Tok, and We R Who We R. 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

I think her songs and voice are bad so I think yes, but most people disagree with me on this one.

I know many people may find her voice "annoying" but to be honest I like it.

I really like her music but her voice is annoying.

14 Avril Lavigne Avril Ramona Lavigne is a Canadian–French singer-songwriter and actress. By the age of 15, she had appeared on stage with Shania Twain; by 16, she had signed a two-album recording contract with Arista Records worth more than $2 million.

She is awesome and doesn't give a crap about what you say about her. She's just a person who wants to have fun and her own person! I honestly love her because I respect the fact that she isn't Africa to be herself.

Her song Hello Kitty is just a Ripoff of Japan. And the dancers in the background... She must have paid them a lot to do that.

Don't even get me started on this over-glorified conceited ass of a woman.

What the hell is she doing on this list?
She's awesome!
I actually met her once, and she seems like a awesome person! :D

15 Conor Maynard Conor Paul Maynard is an English singer-songwriter and child actor from Brighton & Hove who is signed to EMI subsidiary, Parlophone.
16 Meghan Trainor Meghan Elizabeth Trainor is an American singer and songwriter. Trainor's work has been recognized with several awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award, Music Business Association's Breakthrough Artist of the Year accolade and two Billboard Music Awards.

She's so annoying and acts like a five year old and all her music is awful.

Every song she does sounds like the crappy hit song she did.

She's so annoying

17 Silento Richard Lamar Hawk, better known by his stage name Silentó, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor. He is best known for his debut single "Watch Me", which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. Recently, he is also known for murdering his cousin and is currently in prison.
18 Adele Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988) is an English singer and songwriter. Graduating from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, Adele was given a recording contract by XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on Myspace the same year. She is best known with her international hit singles like Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You, Hello, Easy On Me and the success of her second, third and fourth studio album which is 21, 25 and 30.

I can't stand this woman's music. It's all so depressing and the fact that it is overly abused on all the popular radio stations. I swear if I find the guy that broke this woman's heart I'm going to give him a swift kick in the balls.

She is amazing. I'm sorry people have no ears.

What is wrong with you people? She is so good!

19 Shawn Mendes Shawn Peter Raul Mendes is a Canadian singer-songwriter and model. He attracted a following in 2013, when he began posting song covers on the popular video sharing application Vine.

Way too overrated, his songs are getting annoying now, not even that much talent, anybody can sing and play a guitar

20 Katy Perry Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, professionally known by her stage name Katy Perry, was born on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California. She is a singer, songwriter, actress and an ambassador on one of the most popular companies of now, UNICEF.

I've had the displeasure of having her songs stuck in my head for days at a time on several occasions. and I can't STAND her music, but something about if I am exposed to it, I have to turn right around and listen to some All That Remains or Slipknot to counteract the brain-engraining effects her music seems to have on me. son of a *****! Now "can you stay the night" is in my head AGAIN! Been fighting off that one all week! I can't believe ADELE is on the list but not Katy Perry are you kidding me? Even Britney Spears doesn't hold a candle to the ridiculously annoying Katy Perry, no one does!

Katy isn't that bad. She gets to have her own style. "I don't want to be the next Madonna. I want to be the first Katy Perry." - Part of me (2012)

What bad thing has she ever done? She is awesome, and I love her music. How could anybody hate her?

Like, really, who has the mind to fake playing the flute on stage? Apparently Katy Perry.

21 The Jonas Brothers The Jonas Brothers are an American pop rock band. Formed in 2005, they gained popularity from their appearances on the Disney Channel television network.

Disney Pop Bands get so annoying. Glad their mark in the music industry didn't last that long. I would even argue that they make the worst music out of all the disney "pop stars"

The better pursuing there own music career by them selves separate

22 Lil' Wayne

His music is mainstream and is created to appeal to people with no taste in music, so he actually is a pop artist. Pop is more of a music group in which all the popular, overplayed songs fit into than an actual music genre. The word itself is a shortened form of the word, "popular".

He always sending bad examples and talks about the same pointless things in his music. His tattoos aren't cool his hoarse voice isn't cool and his gold teeth aren't cool. So get tf over him.

Let's just get something straight. First, Lil' Wayne is not a popstar. And Second, He is not annoying, he's VERY annoying!

He's a rap artist! No matter how annoying he is, he's not a pop artist.
