Top 10 Worst Female Singers of All Time

Where do I even start with Nicki Minaj? In music, you have incredible music (masterpieces), amazing music, very good music, good music, decent music, bad music, horrific music, and then you've got Nicki Minaj. She is so bad she has her own section. Her voice is the most brain-killing and irritating female voice I have ever heard, worse than Rebecca Black. Her lyrics are so poorly written. I mean, all the other mainstream rappers like Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne are bad enough, but her lyrics are the worst ever written in music. Topping it off with her ugly porn star image, Nicki Minaj is the queen of bad music.

When she was still young, she looked fine and there was nothing bad. But then, she became disgusting, awful, and the worst singer, in my opinion. What made her into this? I don't know! She should be number 1 on the list of worst female singers!

I swear this singer has no point in what she did to herself, her voice, and her expressing emotion! Her hair, her face, her personality disgusted me enough. So throw your fame away, Miley.

I just wish she was more like her sweet, clean Hannah Montana self. Nice. Kind. Respecting her body. She has only one good song: Party in the USA, and even in that, she sounds bad. I hate her and I definitely think she should be number one.

Why is she all the way down here? She's terrifying! People like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Meghan Trainor, Selena Gomez, and Camila Cabello should not be on here.

Okay, so let me begin by saying that you should judge a singer by their live ability since, in the studio, anything can be done. Next, her live singing is terrible because she is not in tune, her voice does not even come close to some notes, and she uses auto-tune live, which is pathetic. She also falls into the category of another Disney girl.

Just to show I don't put everyone in this category, I do have to say the one and only person from Disney who has talent and might possibly be one of the top 25 best female singers is Demi Lovato. After hearing her, I was surprised at how good she was. It made me think twice about Selena, but then I listened to her again and realized Selena is even worse than I thought.

Honestly, I can't think of anybody more deserving of the number one spot than Iggy Azalea. She is everything I hate about the music industry. I'm sick and tired of seeing Nicki Minaj at the number one spot when Iggy Azalea should be there. No woman in music has pissed me off more than Iggy.

Her voice is more nasally than Rebecca Black's, and her "raps" have no flow. Even Nicki Minaj has a way better and more consistent word flow.

She has an irritating voice and ruined good songs like Black Widow, Trouble, and Fancy with her bad language and fake accent.

Nasal, terrible, and annoying vocal quality. In all of her performances, she's way off-tune, and autotune is the only thing that saves her. Even with autotune, you can still hear her nasal tone in her songs. The only reason she's popular is that her "Friday" song has over two million dislikes and 102 million views! She even made a song called "Saturday," in which one of the lyrics is "Where's the peanut butter?", which is completely stupid. It seems like we're learning the days of the week in a "Dora the Explorer" or "Sesame Street" episode. TO HER CREDIT, she has persevered despite all the hate. Still a terrible singer, and definitely should be in the top 5 on this list. She's probably even worse than Nicki Minaj, which means she's got to be very repulsive and nauseating.

BEWARE: She might kill you if you try to endure one of her songs.

Taylor is a terrible singer and person. She is better than Rebecca Black, but all she does is put on the same color lipstick every day and curl her hair with an iron, as someone said. Her songs are babyish and only appeal to little girls and their families. She has a very weak vocal range too, according to a chart, only topping Luke Bryan. Her voice is nasally, which can be a good thing for some singers, like LeAnn Rimes, Celine Dion, and Martina McBride.

It makes me want to reject all my food like it's poison just when a three-minute song comes on the radio that she writes. They say she's sweet just because she whines like an attention-seeking baby to all of her brainwashed fans, complaining that one of the 1700 men she has dated forgot her puppy's last name and bashes them. Being pretty does not make you a good singer. Adele, for example, may not be conventionally attractive, but she's talented and truly gorgeous with a phenomenal voice. I wish you were still alive, Whitney. I pray for you and your family every day.

People who like Kesha don't know what real music is. All she sings about is drinking and partying! Is that really all her life is? I think Kesha must be just really insecure to write songs like that.

She doesn't sing. She raps badly, and when she does sing, she uses autotune over autotune over autotune. She should at least try to sound good. You know, take voice lessons and stuff like that. And she should appeal to a better audience instead of being so provocative. What a bad influence!

How is Taylor Swift above Ke$ha? She isn't great, but at least her early songs are good, her lyrics are occasionally creative, and she doesn't rely on autotune.

Ke$ha, on the other hand, barely sings at all. It's basically just talking with autotune, and the autotuning barely even sounds like singing. And her lyrics are even worse. Every single one of her songs is just about partying, and her inspiration seems to be to put in the dirtiest things that come to her perverted mind, with no creativity involved. She should be number one.

Katy Perry is very rude. I was watching America's Got Talent, and Katy Perry was one of the judges. She is toxic, arrogant, and very careless about other people's emotions.

The person Katy was judging had been through a lot. The poor kid was an 18-year-old whose father and brother died, and all she has left is her mother, who got paralyzed in a bombing and went into the hospital during the show. The girl started singing and cried in the middle because the song was about her tough life, and she couldn't help but break into tears. I mean, who can blame the poor soul? She's been through a lot.

Just then, Katy started criticizing her, saying that she should pull herself together. Katy's songs sound like she's whining. I hate her voice. In my opinion, she's the worst female singer.

Britney Spears used to be an okay singer in the '90s and early '00s, but now she is just bad. She uses way too much auto-tune now. Remember, this is about her singing ability, not anything else. Nevertheless, Britney still puts on good performances even though she lip-syncs, so she is a good showbiz girl. At least she is not talentless when it comes to that.

Disclaimer: I have never seen one of her concerts live, but I have seen video clips of concerts, and they seem fun. However, I would much rather have her singing live, like JLO when she is live. I have never seen a JLO show or video from one of her shows, but I have heard she sings live there and she sang live on American Idol, and she sings well.

She has to be one of the most immature singers ever. She recently hit 30, and her songs still sound like they were written by a teenager.

I hate her voice so much. She's very annoying.

Seriously, when will this Bebe Rexha wannabe stop? She also takes attention away from Charli XCX.

For the sake of humanity, please take a brief moment to reflect on what you think of this woman. Do you really believe she is original in the world of music (industry)? Has she created a new style or had any influence over any other (real) artist? I seriously doubt it since she still adheres to the same pop standard as everyone else.

I have listened to some of her new jazz stuff, and it was decent, even good compared to what she had previously done. I can acknowledge that. However, she is not exceptionally talented. Wake up. She might have a good voice, nothing extraordinary. There are (and there were) much better ones in different styles of music. Regarding the music she sells, it fits into the average pop quality (which is actually quite low).

Her lyrics are dull and dumb (Just Dance, Telephone, Applause, Highway Unicorn, to name a few), mostly revolving around sexual themes, drugs, popularity, and other trivial teenage thoughts. I can't hate her music (actually, any kind of music). I can only say that it's quite undistinguished, nothing more than catchy. But what I do despise is her public attitude, so silly and artificial, along with her desperate attempts to attract attention. That has nothing to do with art. It's marketing, far from being called originality.

Sorry for any English mistakes, I'm from South America.

She needs to be in the top 10. Not only is her music redundant at best, but she's a bad example for body positivity and is very pretentious.

Some of her songs are also problematic, most notably "Dear Future Husband," which is a prime example of backwards feminism.

She has some really good intentions, like promoting a positive body image. I like to see singers promote positive but not too corny/cheesy messages instead of sexual songs. However, she is a bit harsh to skinny people. I'd say she has good intentions, but they came out the wrong way.

WHY is Ariana Grande lower than Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and Mariah Carey? Ariana copies Taylor's style and Selena's video. She also has the same voice as Mariah Carey.

People only like her because of her singing, but she is so rude toward Victoria Justice and Selena Gomez without any reasons. She and Selena (who is number 4 on the list because of Arianators and Beliebers) should switch places.

Ariana used to have some talent, but that was in 2013. In 2014, she started trying to act like an adult, but that failed. She tries to be pretty and innocent, but it fails every time! She is just a Mariah Carey ripoff! She hates her fans and is very annoying.

In 2016, she claims to be a "Dangerous Woman" in her songs such as "Dangerous Woman" and "Into You." She is very annoying. Everybody loves her, but I'm not one of those fangirls. Bye.

Here we have Rihanna, the stripper who dances around naked in music videos. She honestly should never have been a singer. She should've pursued some other job. Her videos are disturbing and disgusting, and her voice is autotuned. Even then, it sounds bad.

She can't sing. She enjoys being treated like a sex toy and really wants to be treated like one. With lyrics like "sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me," it implies she wants to be caged up and treated like a sex toy. In every video, she's naked and ready to have sex. Her facial expressions are creepy and pointless, and her lyrics are pointless and stupid. Whenever she makes her voice go super high or low, it freaks me out. She has no respect for her body. Why is she winning a Grammy when she can't sing?

Ugh. I would have voted for Nicki Minaj, but I can't stand Cardi B. She's like another Nicki Minaj but worse. I don't know how people like her. She's horrible, and her "rapping" is annoying.

She should be number one. Nicki Minaj did take plastic surgery, and I don't like some of her songs, but at least she's not a bad mom, and she didn't drug men.

How is she below a lot of talented singers/rappers? She has no talent at all and I don't understand why she's even famous anyway?

Honestly? I think she's awful. She looks like an annoying little brat, and all the girls at my school love her and think she is so great. The bows are stupid, and I just want to burn them all. She has no talent in singing whatsoever and is only famous from Dance Moms, which I also really hate.

Her winning the Kids Choice Awards (which I also really hate but watch because my cousin likes it, and I like to make fun of it) really added to my hate. She's everywhere I look, and I hate it. There are people with way more talent than this... thing.

Really, she was the worst thing to come out of the UK X Factor. She can't sing. Just terrible. A prime example of our stupid generation.

While I loved Cher Lloyd in the X Factor, her new songs were just... meh. I'll admit she is trying, but I understand why she's hated.

Terrible singer. Why do so many people defend her? She's pure garbage.

Anyone that came from a televised karaoke show does not deserve any respect whatsoever.

Paris is the least talented celebrity ever! She can't sing, and her music is auto-tuned crap! The only reason she is famous is because of her famous father.

Looks fake, her fake blue eyes don't suit her at all. Her hair doesn't suit her either. It makes her look older, like a middle-aged, wrinkly lady.

Wow, she is not in the top 5? I lost faith in humanity.

Why is this stupid redneck below Madonna? Has Kelly Clarkson contributed anything good to music? No, just-in-tune karaoke renditions don't count.

Madonna's Ray of Light album alone is head and shoulders above anything in Kelly Clarkson's discography. And we're not even talking about her 80s material.

If you have to be voted into a music career by an audience of voters who have little idea of what it takes to be a good singer, and then have to turn to a TV show for people to even listen the second time around, think about it!

She's got one of the worst voices I've ever heard! Her nasally-raspy-mumble combo should be played on repeat at Guantanamo Bay Prison. Those sick terrorists would be singing like songbirds after a few hours of her voice non-stop! No wonder Marc Anthony looked like he was in pain, about to cry on The X Factor USA when she was singing for him. His ears were about to bleed!

I don't want to be rude, but I really, and I mean seriously, cannot stand Camila Cabello or her music. It baffles me that out of everyone in Fifth Harmony, she got a solo career when we all know that Normani has a better singing voice.

The pop artists of the 2010s and early 2020s seriously annoy me.

Carly Rae Jepsen sucks. Period. Why do people like her awful "music"?

Glad she is irrelevant now in 2024. Her new Crappiest Time album is trash. Thankfully, it never topped the charts. Carly fading into obscurity 5 - 10 years ago is the reason why the music industry has been improving since 2019.

She is absolute trash and has no talent.

OK, Beyonce, Mariah, Rihanna, Christina, Gaga, Amy, Jessie J, Alicia, Celine, and Hayley all have great voices. Who put them here? Carly has only one number one hit and Justin Bieber. Even Ke$ha (I don't like her, but I love Warrior), Nicki Minaj, and that dumb ho Paris are better than her.

She sounds great on her studio recordings, but for the most part, can't sing live to save her life.

They play her too much. Her music is so bland and generic.

How this bad singer managed to be a judge on American Idol and make millions for a talentless and weak voice doesn't say much about the general population. She won't be going away anytime soon and will continue to lip sync, wear skimpy clothes, and shake her big butt while laughing her way to the bank.

Some of her rom-com movies are cute, and she isn't awful at acting, just not really great at anything. But her singing is awful for sure.

How could anyone forget her? She should be number one. Worst singer ever!
