Top 10 Worst Singers of 2024
These singers sucked in 2023 and might as well suck in 2024 as well. I understand that the year has only just begun, but this list will be updated with new entries as the year progresses.Firstly, everyone has different tastes in music. Secondly, if you don't appreciate a particular singer, please don't just say "he/she is terrible" or "he/she is the worst singer ever." Instead, explain why you don't like them. Is it their vocals? Their lyrics? Their songwriting? Or their persona? Express your thoughts here!
Happy New Year, everybody!
Daniel Hernandez, known by his stage name 6ix9ine, also known as Tekashi69 or simply Tekashi, is an American rapper. He is mostly known for his legal issues, particularly his sexual crimes... read more His Latin album tanked hard, and he is finally fading into obscurity, thankfully. Now all he needs to do is go back to jail.
Thomas "Tom" MacDonald (born September 21, 1988) is a Canadian rapper, songwriter, and former wrestler who first rose to fame after the release of his song "Dear Rappers" and has had three songs that have appeared in the Billboard Hot 100 since then. I know we should stop giving attention to this clown, but he still releases music that is consistently bad.
Not only does he have one of the worst names in the history of hip hop and one of the worst beards in the entire universe, but his music is also just controversial for the sake of being controversial. This includes his affiliation with Donald Trump and the Republicans and his openly homophobic and transphobic lyrics on "Boycott Target".
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. Her newfound success has definitely gone to her head. She managed to release a song that is worse than "Dear Future Husband" and "Me Too", and makes "All About That Bass" sound like "Bohemian Rhapsody". I really hope she fades back into obscurity this year.
Her newfound fame from TikTok seemed to have died down (hopefully) thanks to "Mother," which was definitely deserving of being on Fantano's worst songs of 2023 list!
She is just flat-out inappropriate!
Miranda Sings is a fictional character created on the Internet in 2008 and portrayed by American comedian, actress and YouTube personality Colleen Ballinger.
Ronald Joseph Radke is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, musician, and record producer born in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the current singer of the band Falling In Reverse and is the former singer of Escape The Fate. This narcissist's ego is so big it would make Ye and Adam Levine jealous. Moreover, he released crappy singles with FiR, such as the so-bad-it's-hilarious "Watch the World Burn" and the "reimagined" cover of Papa Roach's "Last Resort". This version managed to turn a nu-metal anthem into obnoxious trailer music and makes Disturbed's rendition of "The Sound of Silence" sound like a work of creative genius. Speaking of Disturbed, is he going to do a similar "reimagined" version of "Down with the Sickness"?
Jason Joel Desrouleaux, better known by his stage name Jason Derulo (an alternate spelling of his surname), is an American singer, songwriter, and dancer. He is best known for his singles such as "Whatcha Say", "Ridin' Solo", "In My Head", "What If", "Wiggle", "Talk Dirty", "Trumpets" and "Want To Want... read more This guy has severely overstayed his welcome (thank you, TikTok, I guess) and went from cranking out harmless music to ruining classic hits. First, he lazily sampled Dido's vocals, for which he deserves a diss from Eminem. Then, he mercilessly ruined "Stand By Me" with Meghan Trainor, turning it into some PG-rated sexual fetish. For this, he deserves to be sued by Ben E. King's family.
Get Jason Derulo above Sexyy Red now! While Sexyy Red makes music that may not be everyone's cup of tea, Jason Derulo just makes harmless music, hops on trends, and even murdered some classics hits. For that, he deserves a lot more flak than Sexyy Red, who is hated for just making overtly sexual songs.
Jared Joseph Leto is an American actor, singer-songwriter, and director. He is well known for being the lead singer of Thirty Seconds to Mars. This wannabe Jesus Christ, with an ego just as big as Ye's, Adam Levine's, and Ronnie Radke's, and last year he and his "band" released easily one of the worst albums of last year. His vocals have really impressed me in the past, but he sounds so out of it in that album and sounds like he's trying to sing with a cold.
He was never a singer to begin with. His music sounds like, as Anthony Fantano put it, "AI-generated sadboy pop."
The Newcomers
Vincent Neil Wharton is an American vocalist and musician, best known as the lead vocalist of glam metal/ hair metal band Mötley Crüe.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome: stomp-and-holler Lewis Capaldi!
What's with the name? It's just weird.
He released another album with Tommy the MacDonald Clown. Let's stop give him attention as well.
Jason Aldine Williams, known professionally as Jason Aldean, is an American country music singer. Since 2005, Jason Aldean has been signed to Broken Bow Records, a record label for which he has released eight albums and 24 singles. "Try That in a Small Town"? More like "Try That in a Sundown Town". His song deserved all the backlash, although he denies it encourages violence.
She's a worse singer than Gayle and Leah Kate combined. Her vocals are grating, and her lyrics are so preachy they're dehumanizing. As for the music, it's 2000s-tinged pop rock at its worst, somewhere between Ashlee Simpson, Kelly Osbourne, Lindsay Lohan, and the worst songs made by Avril Lavigne or Demi Lovato. She also looks like a discount Kesha.
His song "Rich Men North of Richmond" is bland at best and grating at worst. It also has fatphobic and classist lyrics.
James Thomas "Jimmy" Fallon is an American comedian, television host, actor, singer, writer, and producer. Why is this guy trying to be a musician now, and why does he think he's going to write the next Christmas classic? His latest Christmas song with Meghan Trainor, "Wrap Me Up," is easily one of the worst Christmas songs ever. I'd rather listen to "All I Want For Christmas Is You" on loop for an hour than ever hear "Wrap Me Up" ever again.
Not only is he just not funny anymore as a comedian and TV host, but he's also a terrible singer.
Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar (born October 11, 1992), known professionally as Cardi B, is an American rapper. Born and raised in New York City, she became an Internet celebrity by achieving popularity on Vine and Instagram. From 2015 to 2017, she appeared as a regular cast member on the VH1 reality television... read more
Adam Noah Levine is an American singer and songwriter. He is the lead vocalist for the Los Angeles pop rock band Maroon 5.Levine began his musical career in 1994, when he co-founded the band Kara's Flowers, of which he was the lead vocalist and guitarist. The band split up after their only album,... read more
His vocals sound so tired, even without AutoTune. He needs to either retire or take vocal lessons, which would be ironic considering he was a coach on The Voice.
Anne-Marie Rose Nicholson is an English singer-songwriter. She has attained several charting singles on the UK Singles Chart, including Clean Bandit's "Rockabye", which peaked at number one. Her other popular songs include "Alarm", "Ciao Adios", "Friends", "2002", "Don't Play", and "Kiss My (Uh Oh)"... read more Not only has this singer never had any personality, but she really needs to grow up. No, seriously, she's 32, and her music still sounds like it was written by a teenager. I don't understand how she's still relevant.
Not only is his music painfully generic, but his vocals get annoying after repeated listens. I know we should have empathy for this man considering he was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, and it affects his performances. However, that won't make his music any less annoying.
will.i.am is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, and actor known for being the lead vocalist in The Black Eyed Peas. He was born in Los Angeles, California. He has released several solo albums such as "Songs About Girls" and "Will Power" . He's so 2000-and-late, why does he keep making the same crappy music he did 10 years ago?
Rita Sahatçiu Ora is a British singer and actress . Her debut studio album, Ora, released in 2012, debuted at number one in the United Kingdom .
She dated Rob Kardashian . She's a good singer but she barely has any personality and most of her songs are as generic and derivative as they get and feel like a waste of talent.
Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, referred to mononymously as Sia, is an Australian singer and songwriter. She released her debut album in 1997 but mainly gained mainstrem attention in the 2010s.
In 2021, she released the highly controversial film "Music". The film has received negative reviews online. Not only does she sound like a cat screaming in pain, but she's a horrible person. Being on the autism spectrum is never an excuse for being a jerk.
