Top 10 Worst Singers of 2020

Formerly, on worst singer lists, actual singing qualities were misjudged by most, and users basically used those lists as a punching bag to pile against modern pop singers and rappers.

So, for the first time, we're going to attempt to judge the worst singing qualities used by singers of this year in a more objective sense by doing a proper analysis of their singing technique.

Also, a lot of people on these lists interchangeably judge an artist's music and singing. This list has absolutely nothing to do with their music. It purely focuses only on their singing aspect.

With that being said, vote for whom you think has the worst vocal quality of this year.

1. Lil Pump

   

   Gazzy Fabio Garcia (born August 17, 2000), known professionally as Lil Pump, is an American rapper and songwriter. He released his debut single, "Lil Pump," in 2016 after beginning to collaborate with Smokepurpp. He achieved mainstream success in 2017 with his self-titled debut album and the hit single... read more

   Haven't heard of him lately (which is a good thing). Hopefully, he's a music industry dropout. Then that's two things he's dropped out of.

   Get him to number one. He can barely sing.

2. Tones and I

   

   Toni Elizabeth Watson (born May 13, 1993), better known professionally as Tones and I, is an Australian singer, songwriter, and record producer. She is best known for her breakout single "Dance Monkey," which reached number one in over 30 countries, including Australia, the United Kingdom, and several... read more

   Not only does this chick have dreadful vocals, but her songs are getting worse. Also, is it me, or does she have social anxiety disorder? If you listen to the lyrics from "You're So F***InG cOoL," you'll understand why I'm asking that question.

   Honestly, I can't get past her singing. I tried to, but I just can't. Also, I've seen people saying she can sing because her voice is unique, but obviously, people need to learn that unique doesn't mean good.

   I want to like her songs, I really do. But her voice is so annoying. It's a shame because her production and lyrics aren't actually bad.

3. Submarine Man

   

   Water Handblast, born Ardy Robert Andrews, is better known by his stage name Submarine Man. He is an American rapper known for his heavily Auto-Tuned vocals and lyrics that often centre on unusual themes, including foot fetishes. His distinctive style has earned him a niche following online.

   Yep, I think he's going to make more bad music and albums. Even worse, he's going to make a movie called The Stocking, which is going to suck.

   I never heard of this guy before I looked at his description. I have nothing to say.

4. Lama Doodle

   

   Lama Doodle is a rapper who appeared on the song "SESE" with Submarine Man, 6ix9ine, and Footye North. The track is a parody-style collaboration known for its humorous and unconventional lyrics. It was released under the name 6ix9ine featuring Submarine Man, Lama Doodle, and Footye North.

5. Lewis Capaldi

   

   Lewis Capaldi is a Scottish singer born on October 7, 1996. He is best known for his 2019 hit song Someone You Loved, the most popular track from his debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent.

   He is also known for songs like Before You Go, Forget Me, and Wish You the Best.... read more

   Every now and then, it seems like the UK is trying to export what could be their "next James Blunt," so he gets the overplay treatment only for millions of people to grow tired of or even sickened by his music.

   I can't recall how many James Blunt wannabes we've had over the past few years, but this guy deserves such a comparison. Actually, he sounds like a crackhead version of James Blunt, with vocals even more unappealing and songs that sound all the same. At least James Blunt, despite his casually annoying nasal vocals, had a few good songs, most of them being way better than the sickeningly overplayed "You're Beautiful" (to which he is sadly forever associated, which is the reason most people don't want to hear about him anymore).

   Lewis Capaldi, on the other hand, could be quickly forgotten not only due to "Someone You Loved" being overplayed to death, but also because his music is just too generic and brings nothing exciting to the table.

6. Taylor Swift

   

   Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. She developed a strong interest in country music around the age of nine after watching a documentary about Faith Hill. Swift moved to Nashville as a teenager, signed a development deal with RCA Records... read more

   She's gotten really overrated and prissy. She was so much better when she did country pop.

   She is the worst singer. She is plain awful.

   Why is she number 25? She should be number one. She is the worst singer of anyone on this list.

7. Lizzo

   

   Melissa Viviane Jefferson, known professionally as Lizzo, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born in Detroit, Michigan, moved to Houston as a child, and later began her recording career in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lizzo became widely known for hit songs such as "Truth Hurts... read more

   Critically acclaimed album? I believe with so-called "musicians" like her, they are buying their success because there is no way her music is receiving universal acclaim from music critics. That god-awful song of hers that went to number one two years later - mind you, something is going on behind the scenes. Her success seems really fake. Just look at Cardi B. She's another one being heavily pushed in our faces, who's also under the same music label.

   No offense, but how can anyone sit through her singing? Her vocal range is all over the place, and she has no control of her voice. I gave her album a listen to see why it was so popular. I honestly could not get past the first song. It really traumatized me, and I knew what I was in for, so I gave up before it was too late.

8. Footye North

   

9. Future

   

   Nayvadius DeMun Cash (born November 20, 1983), known professionally as Future, is an American rapper, singer-songwriter, and record producer. Recognized for his mumble-styled vocals and prolific output, Future is credited with pioneering the use of Auto-Tuned melodies in hip-hop and trap music. Due to... read more

She gained fame as the female vocalist for the Black Eyed Peas and later launched a solo career with the album The Dutchess in 2006. Fergie is also known for co-hosting Great Pretenders and... read more

    I don't think she's still relevant, but the last time we heard from her was when she did her very weird but vocally terrible version of the national anthem. And like I said, we have not heard from Fergie since.

    We've had enough of her. Ever since she made that horrendous rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner, her career is pretty much dead.

    Funny how there are three comments in a row asking, "Is she still relevant?"

15. 6IX9INE

    

    Daniel Hernandez (born May 8, 1996), better known by his stage name 6ix9ine, also called Tekashi69 or Tekashi, is an American rapper known both for his music and for his legal controversies.

    This dude looks like he's high on what he sings about... drugs! He only sings about cocaine and booties. He should still be in prison.

    Why did they have to release this pedophile snitch? Now he gets to drop his garbage music again.

    Guess what, you guys? He made another song this year. Oh no! We're doomed!

    6IX9INE: I'm back and they mad.

16. Tyga

    

    Micheal Ray Stevenson (born November 19, 1989), known by his stage name Tyga, is an American hip-hop recording artist. In 2008, Tyga signed a recording contract with Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, and Republic Records. His major label debut album Careless World: Rise of the Last King... read more

    He's not a Tyga, and he's a pedophile. Let's stop giving attention to such questionable human beings.

    Tyga is such a chore to listen to. He has some chill style, but he gets boring after two listens.

    I like Tyga, but he just says weird things in his songs.

17. Camila Cabello

    

    Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao, professionally known as Camila Cabello, is an American singer and songwriter born in Cuba on March 3, 1997.

    Worst singer ever, and everyone who takes music seriously agrees.

    Screw him. His new song is as bad as Baby, if not worse.

    We're talking about 2020, and Yummy is a pretty terrible song.

19. Lil Uzi Vert

    

    Symere Bysil Woods, professionally known as Lil Uzi Vert, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. They were born on July 31, 1995, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Lil Uzi Vert gained recognition with the 2015 mixtape Luv Is Rage and the 2016 single Money Longer.... read more

She was born and raised in New York City and first gained attention through Vine and Instagram. From 2015 to 2017, she appeared as a cast member on the VH1 reality... read more

    If you say she's good, you're wrong. My father doesn't let me listen to her. She is VERY inappropriate. WAP means wet a word female parts.

    She was literally a prostitute before she was a singer. I'm not even kidding. Look it up.

    I don't even want to listen to a sample of one of her songs.

21. Lil Meerkat

    He sounds too monotone, which leads to all his songs sounding way too similar to one another.
