   NEVER let her sing the national anthem again! At least kneeling has some actual patriotic meaning behind it.

   Sounds as though she smokes at least six packs of cigarettes a day.

   I'd honestly rather listen to Bieber for decades.

   Okay, thank God he's at the top. I knew he was going to be somewhere near the top. I don't want to say what I have in mind for JB for killing good music. Good music is Queen, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, and that kind of music.

   By the way, Freddie Mercury has the best voice on the planet, and nobody will ever compete. Especially not... Beaver man - I mean, girl.

   RIP Freddie.

   I mean, when I didn't know about him and was listening to Baby on the radio, I was like, Who is this girl? Then when I looked it up, I'm like, WTF? He's a guy?

   Has his voice even broken? If it has, what was his voice like before? Ewww.

   "Please don't stop the music, music, music."

   That's right, please don't stop the music. Unless, of course, Rihanna is playing. In that case, the music must be stopped immediately!

   She only sounds good with autotune, which is not appreciated. Her songs aren't terrible, but I wish someone else sang them - someone with talent.

   I once read somewhere in an article that someone always wants to stab himself after hearing her voice.

   Miley Cyrus sounds like a donkey that sucked up a bunch of helium and got an extra squeaky voice. She writes the worst songs in the world and sounds terrible. I can't stand her.

   Not only is her speaking voice absolutely annoying, but she is so full of herself. Take off the 50s underwear shorts and just sing real songs...

   The most annoying voice ever... I saw her movie once accidentally and can't get her annoying voice out of my head.

    How was this nasal-voiced, whiny beggar not on the list yet? He literally whined on every single track, couldn't hold a candle to Johnny Gill, Brian McKnight, Aaron Hall, Gerald LeVert (RIP), Keith Washington or any real singer!

    "Who can make your ears bleed like meee?"

    Nobody, Keith, nobody.

    I hate her voice. Her success is in showing skin and shaking it! She's not the greatest at that either - there are belly dancers who are amazing! Shakira does the job, but she's not amazing at anything she does. That shows you that sex sells.

    Lovely lady. I came here after searching Shakira's voice type. I really can't enjoy it. I don't understand how she made it so far with that awful undertone. But good for her.

    She needs to be higher up. It's sad because she can sing, but her voice is so annoying. She sounds like she has an air bubble stuck in her throat.

    I hate her voice in her music and her face. She's so annoying. She sounds like Minnie Mouse when she talks or sings. I don't know why people like her so much. She's not my taste in music at all.

    I think she has a nice singing voice. Her speaking voice, on the other hand, makes me want to claw my ears out!

    Her singing voice is good, but when she's talking she sounds like she's gonna pass out.

    Awful! And she's got attitude, also showing off her boobs as if they're huge. Blegghhh

    She has a rather annoying singing voice that goes all high-pitched and screechy, and she's murdered a few classic songs she's covered!

    He always tries to sound like Lil Wayne, so no wonder his voice is so annoying.

27. Poppy Harlow

    I cannot stand to listen to her at all. She exemplifies the god-awful dialect that so many women use today, which makes them sound like they are gagging on their vowels. From the next room, it's like a chipmunk retching repeatedly.

    It really is juvenile for women to all mimic each other with a bizarre vocal fad as though it were a hairstyle or fashion accessory (looking at you, mermaid hair - not everyone can rock it). When I'm listening to the news, I don't want to be braced for a "totally!" to come flying at me at any moment, and that is what many female newscasters sound like now. It's awful.

    But I'm giving Poppy the special prize, because, in her case, even if she learned to enunciate correctly, she would still be left with a naturally shrill voice that seems to emanate from the roof of her mouth. As a newscaster, your one job is to speak - that's it - no singing, dancing, acting, no stunts. All you have to do is speak. Do it correctly, please.
