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 (born May 8, 1996), 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.
What is he supposed to be? He looks like he got beat up by a rainbow.
Tekashi69's new Blackballed album is terrible! In Shaka Laka, he just screams the entire time.
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.
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 terrible 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"?
I appreciate his old works (ex: Escape the Fate and early Falling in Reverse), but his ego, controversies, and number of shenanigans are off the charts!
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."
Boycott Target, seriously? Music has only gotten worse every year since 2020.
His song "Rich Men North of Richmond" is bland at best and grating at worst. It also has fatphobic and classist lyrics.
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. This character first appeared on the Internet in 2008... read more
I don't hate him. He is just kind of annoying. He is definitely talented, but he wastes it on bad songs.
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.
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.
The Newcomers
She's not even a singer, but she still released one of the worst songs of the year with "Days of Girlhood". She's also another TikToker trying (and failing) to become an artist.
He's a good singer but his work with The Script has become too generic. He should probably go solo before The Script become the next Maroon 5 or the next OneRepublic.
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.
Oh my god, Dream is overrated. Only Gen Alpha kids would like his music since they have the worst taste. At least Gen Z had decent taste in music. And please, stop singing Skibidi Toilet.
His songs are extremely boring. His voice doesn't sound good.
He was never a singer to begin with. His music sounds like, as Anthony Fantano put it, "AI-generated sadboy pop."
He released another album with Tommy the MacDonald Clown. Let's stop giving him attention as well.
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" again.
Not only is he just not funny anymore as a comedian and TV host, but he's also a terrible singer.
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 classic hits. For that, he deserves a lot more flak than Sexyy Red, who is hated for just making overtly sexual songs.
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.
Gazzy Garcia (known professionally as Lil Pump, born August 17th, 2000) is an American rapper, producer and songwriter. Gazzy began his career in 2016 with a collaboration freestyle with Smokepurpp, which was eventually posted in Soundcloud to popular success. He broke out to mainstream the following... read more He's pretty much a joke at this point, but I can't help including him because he still released the travesty known as "Pump Rock x Heavy Metal" last year.
Michael Lamar White IV, known professionally as Trippie Redd, is an American rapper, singer and songwriter. He overuses AutoTune and gives rage rap a bad name.
Sia Kate Isobelle Furler (born December 18, 1975), referred to mononymously as Sia, is an Australian singer and songwriter. She released her debut album in 1997 but mainly gained mainstream attention in the 2010s... read more She's not just an ableist and racist jerk. She's desperately trying to stay relevant. If you need proof, she released not one, but two remixes of her latest single "Immortal Queen." After Chaka Khan, she even had the nerve to drag Eve and Neneh Cherry into her song. These two women should know better than to collaborate with her.
Not only does she sound like a cat screaming in pain, but she's also a horrible person. Being on the autism spectrum is never an excuse for being a jerk.
What's with the name? It's just weird.
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.
Agreed. This year, he released "Fire". Of course it is a horrible song. It has too much autotune in it
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?
Joelle Joni Siwa, also known as Jojo Siwa is an American dancer, singer, actress, and YouTuber. She joined the masked singer in 2020. She's never really been that good in the first place, but she definitely hit rock bottom this year with her single "Karma." She'll probably release an album within the next couple of months, but I feel like it'll be panned by critics. Fantano is likely going to roast it and might even give it a "NOT GOOD" rating.
I was shocked he gave Tate McRae a "NOT GOOD" rating, but I wouldn't be surprised if he does the same with JoJo Siwa.
His songs "Karen" and "Shut Up" are atrocious! He uses AI-generated vocals that make my ears hurt and give me a headache. "Karen" is one of the most offensive songs ever.
