you mean as far as technical ability, range, smoothness of breath control?
Bob Dylan
BUt-
If you count a level of taste,
a desire to grow as an artist,
a need to communicate,
a sense of humor, and
the charisma to actually pull it off...
there are hundreds of bad singers out there
Many of them have very expensive contracts with corporate sponsers who would break out in brain death if they had a real musician on their hands.
But a lucrative contract does NOT make a singer- good.
Nor does a perfect voice make a great singer, either, depending on what the genre is.

That's easy. It's William Shatner. But that's what makes him cool.kendra_chailyn said:

That's a tough call. There are a lot of singers I hate, but it's nothing technical that pisses me off. Like, I hate Brittany Spears, but it has nothing to do with her voice. It's more about the elaborate dancing and outfits and the way she did my boy, Justin *shakes head* uh-uh, bitch.
Basically, if the singer is female and her name ends with "-y", I can't handle it.

his rendition of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
was simply poignant.

If you mean the most untalented singer who achieved commercial success, I would say Fabian. Even he knew he couldn't sing but he still achieved a fair amount of success through publicity.

In my mind, Dylan wasn't so much a singer as a poet. And he was so bad, he was good. Like those little kids that are so ugly they're cute, neh?Stella_Omega said:you mean as far as technical ability, range, smoothness of breath control?
