Q Magazine's Top 10 Greatest and Worst Singers
We love top ten lists. They're so controversial...someone will always be left out. But in Celine's case (god.. what the fuck is she wearing?), it's good to be left out. The Independent (UK) summarized Q Magazine's Top Ten Greatest Voices.
Here is what they reported for the top ten:
1) Elvis Presley
2) Aretha Franklin
3) Frank Sinatra
4) Otis Redding
5) John Lennon
6) Marvin Gaye
7) Kurt Cobain
8) Robert Plant
9) Mick Jagger
10) Jeff Buckley
And here are some of the singers who made it to the hall of shame:
Ozzy Osbourne
"...although he was once a powerhouse, 'he now sings like he speaks - this may be a cause for sympathy, but not for buying his albums.'"
Mariah Carey
"...castigated for 'squawking':'she may have a 100-octave range and the ability to sing so loudly that birds' nest fall from trees, but that doesn't make it right.'"
Celine Dion
"...included for 'grinding out every note as if bearing some kind of grudge against the very notion of economy.'"
Yoko Ono
"...'cursed with a voice that even John Lennon couldn't love.'"
Others include Fred Durst, Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie and 'any death metal singer.'
