This Months Top 5

Top 5 worst vocalist

With music, you either like it or you don't. That's true, there are scores of artists I can't stand but I wouldn't call them talentless; Their music just doesn't do it for me for various reasons. But there are those who despite vast shortcomings in the talent department manage to break into the music business and actually find some success. Different people have different preferences, some people zoom in on guitars, some on the rhythm, for me it has always been the vocals. A band can have the most amazing musicians in the world but put a poor vocalist in front of them, then you lost me. So this month, I thought we should take a look at some of music's weakest vocalist. People that just don't measure up to their contemporaries. You notice I didn't say singers because I don't feel these people qualify for that esteemed title.

5. Darius " Monotone" Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish - He wouldn't be so bad if he could sing more than two notes.

4. Macy "Gravel Throat" Gray - I don't get it, she sounds like she has spent the past 20 years downing a fifth of Jack and smoking 3 packs a day.

3. Fred "I love myself" Durst from Limp Bizkit - Fred can come close to singing when he wants to, the problem is he never wants to.

2. Missy "Da Rap Dat Don't Flow Yo!" Elliot - This women baffles me, how in the hell did she get a record contract? She can't rap, she doesn't know how to rhyme (ending every other line with "Yo!" or the same word doesn't count) and God knows it's not her sex appeal. I'm not a rap fan but even I can see she gives the whole genre a big black eye. PS Lack of talent does not make you innovative! She should stick to producing other artists.

And the number one worst vocalist

Courtney "Ono" Love- Not since Yoko Ono has a voice been unleashed on the public that utterly assaults the eardrums to the point of bleeding, where you would happily end your life to make it stop. I give Courtney props for some of her anti Major Label stances and acting ability but she can't sing to save her life. I don't ask much, but she should at least try and sing in key.
