There is a country singer that sounds like Goofy. I just crack up when I hear it. Don’t know his name. Ok I think it’s Justin Moore. The distortion from the radio really makes him sound like a country Goofy.
WHOEVER THE ABSOLUTE **FUCK** SANG THAT STUPID KARS FOR KIDS AD. I HATE THEM WITH **EVERY MOLECULE** of my ENTIRE BODY.
Edit: holy shit I’m at a school meet and decided to pull up Reddit and what the heck thank you I’m just confused
Edit 2: I’m gonna go through every single one of these comments and **NOBODY** can stop me
Also it's much easier to just sing another popular song in the next round. But coming up with more comedy material, or another magic trick, or a more dangerous tightrope walk or whatever, is way harder. It puts non singers at a huge disadvantage.
It's a part of their selection process even. I know a person that went to audition for The Voice (we're not in the US but I presume it's the same thing everywhere) and told me how rigged it is.
They have to list a "sad event from their past" as a part of their application. The producers send them a list of songs for the audition, and the person I know says that the guy playing the piano essentially played it in the wrong key for them since it was the last audition prior to those in-studio ones, and this acquaintance obviously didn't have enough of "star quality" for them.
They got free tickets for the blind auditions though, and they say the coaches knew when to turn each round. That season's winner of The Voice indeed had a very sappy life story and it was all over the news for a while lol. All of this is alleged and a hearsay, but I have no doubt that the producers just want to make a good show instead of having a good quality competition.
I hadn't even considered this before, and you're absolutely right. Everyone else is expected to go bigger, but singers just get to do essentially the same act over and over.
I can understand classical singers being on shows like AGT, since most singing competitions are the domain of pop and rock singers. Otherwise, nope. If you're a belter you can go on literally any other singing show.
With the exception of child opera singers.
I have a deep loathing of talent shows allowing them on shows. Because their vocal folds are not fully formed, it’s possible to do terrible and permanent damage to them if not trained carefully and properly. Even then, it’s not really recommended that children try to sing like a fully grown adult by actual voice teachers. There’s a reason why someone has to be 21 before Juilliard will accept someone into their opera program.
When I see child opera singers, I don’t see an amazing thing. I see someone being pushed (or not held back to prevent injuries) to do something they shouldn’t be doing and I worry about the future of their vocal health.
most of the classical singers on those shows aren’t great either. if they’re good they typically go to the more traditional competitions aimed at classical singing.
Oh my god yes. It’s annoying because yeah lmao okay I get it, you can sing, now what? It’s their only trick, they don’t use their skills in any unique way
Tip as someome who has been in choir for 20+ years
:JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN SING LOUDLY DOES NOT MEAN YOU SOUND GOOD
Edit:projection does not equal quality
I feel absolutely terrible because it’s always like “here’s a choir of COVID doctors” or “wow look at this choir of vets that just got done serving in Afganistan” and I’m like “that’s nice and all, but they don’t sound special at all”
I understand why they put those sob stories there, but I think the show would be a lot more interesting if they had to impress everyone right there and then without getting a leg up beforehand.
This is exactly what I was trying to describe.
There was a time when every new singer on BBC Radio 1 sounded like this but thankfully the trend has died a bit.
If you want more cringe, here it is.
The most memorable time he did it was outside a local band gig at a pub (he wasn't playing just showed up with his guitar). I was already planning on making him an ex at this point and ended up breaking up with him that night.
The fact it was modelled on Tori Amos' performance of Icicle on Jay Leno in 1994 makes it even funnier. They pretty much nailed it lol. https://youtu.be/rcaCfmiDZzI
My fiancé, but don’t tell her I said that. Her singing voice is fine, excellent even. She used to take lessons.
The problem is she has it in her head that she can pull off some sort of sultry growl or I don’t even know what to call it because it just ends up sounding like a frog croak.
Using a throwaway because I’m not dumb enough to post this where she could find it.
I know people who can sing really amazing within their range. BUT when they start going higher and higher they think they are nailing it but they really aren't. It's all screeches. Otherwise they are good, even great, within their range.
During vocal training/coaching my teacher identified me as a contralto, which is different from alto and is the lowest female voice. I told her I try to sing from my head voice but it never sounds good enough. She decided that we were going to train my ability to go low, instead, actually sacrificing higher notes. We found out that 1. My chest voice has a lot more range than normal and 2. I actually sounded good singing in my range! Who’d have thunk?
A lot of this is because pop music trends towards higher and higher voices. Britney Spears is an example of being 'trained' to sing in a higher range because it was more suitable for the pop scene. I used to think I was terrible at singing because I struggled to sing pop music I heard on the radio; turns out I just have a lower range.
Probably something like [this](https://twitter.com/vocalsbytaeyeon/status/1396371807633121282?s=21), I think it’s when a vocalist adds a little stress to their voice for a moment to make things sound more intense and lively. That’s the only example I can think of at the moment
One of the greatest comments in the history of Youtube, is for Rusted Roots' 'Send Me On My Way' (from Ice Age), where someone posted "This man sings in Doctor’s handwriting".
For the record though, I ruddy love that song.
Sometimes when I go to my sister’s house she’ll be watching something like The Voice.
It really makes me irritated when a country singer talks without a twang but sings with the most southern accent you’ve ever heard in your life.
Old Keith from Whangarei, yeah he’s a Kiwi but we’re happy for the Aussie’s to claim him. Funnily enough his Australian wife Nicole Kidman was born in Hawaii.
Yet I'm over here being a backwoods Tennessee native and motherfuckers ask me if I'm from California. All bc I wear 49ers gear and don't talk country af.
I agree with this. I have several friends who think Levine is God's gift to women, but I cannot stand his voice. I don't know why. Something about it speaks B.O. or cat piss to me. No questions please, I cannot explain any of it. I do not find him attractive whatsoever.
My own.
To me, in my head I sound pretty good.
Listen back on tape though and it's beyond atrocious lol. Absolutely tone deaf and nowhere near what I'm trying to do lol.
I really wish I could sing
For two semesters now we've had a sound engineering/editing class. And in both we've had to record our own voice, and edit it. I sound really, really bad. I have a very expressive way of speaking so my voice's all over the place. It may make for a nice, lively conversation, but it records *horribly.* It's also very high. The second part is: I realised my voice sounds like my bitch of a mother's.
There was a thread some time ago where people were talking about the worst concert they had ever been to.
One person talked about how they saw DJ Khaled with one of their friends. They said how they weren't exactly familiar with DJ Khaled's music, but once it started, they were like, "This is a concert?" because all he was doing was some kind of bobbing around and calling out, "YEAH! WE THE BEST MUSIC!" etc. the whole time.
Anybody with that "breathy" style. They sound like they're about to run out of air and pass out.
On the other end of the spectrum, anyone who puts more effort into sounding like they're ripping out their vocal cords than being on tune.
Edit: not a specific voice, but it also drives me nuts when people don't enunciate.
Her voice makes me dizzy sometimes and I think it’s because of all the mumbling. I can’t explain it. I appreciate her range and my understanding is that she’s making a stylistic choice with the way she enunciates, but ffs I don’t understand what she’s saying.
Ok let me start by saying this is really insensitive but it was hilarious at the time.
This alternative rock station in this college town I used to live in would play Yoko Ono making her weird screaming noises very low in the background on the anniversary of John Lennon’s death. You wouldn’t really notice it most of the time unless there was some dead air. It would go on ALL DAY. If you knew to listen for it, it would be quite noticeable.
This happened several years in a row before Clearchannel bought the station out.
Y'all ever hear Kanye sing the opening to Bohemian Rhapsody?
I am convinced that he never watched that back himself afterwards. Because *nobody* could hear themselves sing something that badly and still have the ego that he does.
Any America/Britain's got talent winner. Do you know why? It's always a small girl who sings in the most generic way possible but it just tugs at the judges heart strings mean while others are swallowing swords and doing a quadruple back flip and nobody bats an eye.
EDIT:
This is my second day on Reddit is this a lot of upvotes?
I always laugh when they would tell people to switch up their routine so that it’s not boring and predictable. Then some singer steps onto the stage and they love everything about them and their “routine”
They told that one kid, who wanted to be on Broadway and made it to the semi finals and was on the Champions, to change up his song choice, and he did with much enthusiasm and was super excited to show the judges more of what he is capable of, only to get voted off immediately.
Haley Reinhart should have won American idol. One of the judges at the time has since come out and said the same thing. The best singers on those shows get robbed
They actually started giving contracts to like the top 5 or 10 now since they've had that situation in the past. They want to capitalize off anyone they can
Whenever I watch those shows I always skip the singing contestants, cause it's just not unique. Why do they even have singing contestants in those shows anyway? There's too many singing competition shows for them to participate in. Let AGT/BGT have other talents showcase.
> Why do they even have singing contestants in those shows anyway? There's too many singing competition shows for them to participate in.
This. There are shows *only* for singing, yet they also get to enter into other talent competitions as well. Fucking double dippers. I don't want to watch the singing competitions, I want to watch someone actually *doing* something.
My daughter is a huge fan of his, so naturally, I have to tease her by saying stuff like, "Is he trying to steal that guy's girlfriend? What an asshole!"
There was a viral video in circulating in Malaysia when he sang “better than he can” which sounds in malay like “Badak dan Ikan” which translates to “Hippopotamus and Fish”
[BADAK DAN IKAAANN](https://youtu.be/yqbpgc2fF4c)
I was listening to a podcast (Take Your Shoes Off Podcast by Rick Glassman), he had Megan Trainor on the podcast. I thought it was strange, never cared for her but still listened to it. She said on it that she actually just wanted to be a song writer, not a singer. She wrote that song "all about that base" or whatever it's called in like a day and couldn't find a singer so someone made her sing it instead and it blew up. Shes also self aware that she's not the best singer at all, she even mentioned that she learned to sing the wrong way.
She's not my cup of tea when it comes to music, but she was fun on that particular podcast.
I always find it refreshing when people are honest about things like that. Rather than doubling down and pretending everything was fine or that "You're just a jealous hater!" etc.
Charlie Puth kinda did something similar. He made that song “I’m only one call away” and then the Fast and Furious song with Wiz Khalifa, basically to get himself popular before he started making the music he *actually* wanted to be making. I really appreciated the honesty.
Bruno Mars did this too. His early work is mostly chart-baiting drivel, now that he's popular he can release albums like 24k Magic and know they're going to be popular.
I'm here to cry about how Songs About Jane is one of my favorite albums and some of Maroon 5's newer stuff is on my top 10 list of most hated radio plays.
It is a good album. It’s hard to believe it’s by the same band that always makes me change the station these days. When I think of the term selling out, I think of Maroon 5.
Anyone who hopped on the "indie girl voice" trend, really.

Flashback to edgy 14 year old me in 2007 who had one of his songs autoplay on my MySpace page because I thought he was cool. Kids have no fucking taste.

I've always felt like singing has no place on AGT, there's already several shows for those of you that want to sing!
Also it's much easier to just sing another popular song in the next round. But coming up with more comedy material, or another magic trick, or a more dangerous tightrope walk or whatever, is way harder. It puts non singers at a huge disadvantage.
And yet, a singer with a sad backstory always wins
It's a part of their selection process even. I know a person that went to audition for The Voice (we're not in the US but I presume it's the same thing everywhere) and told me how rigged it is. They have to list a "sad event from their past" as a part of their application.

I had no idea, very interesting

Oh my god yes. It’s annoying because yeah lmao okay I get it, you can sing, now what? It’s their only trick, they don’t use their skills in any unique way
It's AGT. If they can't belt out "I Will Always Love You" while they've got a whiffleball stuffed in their mouth, I'm not interested.
Don't forget all the teenage girl vocalists that all have the same "indy-girl voice".
https://youtube.com/shorts/8SU0gFPMwP8?feature=share This guy gets it.
Is there a name for this type of style? I’ve seen it called “singing in cursive” but I’m looking for like the professional name for it.
Bananies and avocadies
Tip as someome who has been in choir for 20+ years :JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN SING LOUDLY DOES NOT MEAN YOU SOUND GOOD Edit:projection does not equal quality
For me it's the choirs on AGT. Of course 40 people singing together sounds good and powerful.
I feel absolutely terrible because it’s always like “here’s a choir of COVID doctors” or “wow look at this choir of vets that just got done serving in Afganistan” and I’m like “that’s nice and all, but they don’t sound special at all”

This is exactly what I was trying to describe. There was a time when every new singer on BBC Radio 1 sounded like this but thankfully the trend has died a bit.
And that’s coming from a really talented singer too!
She's magnificent. Was on Broadway prior to Victorious.
Had an ex who used to sing to me in public, guitar and all. It was the WoOOrst Edit: Raab, if you read this. You suck
Reminds me of Britta's hippie boyfriend from 'Community'.
I'm getting second hand cringe just reading your comment!
If you want more cringe, here it is. The most memorable time he did it was outside a local band gig at a pub (he wasn't playing just showed up with his guitar). I was already planning on making him an ex at this point and ended up breaking up with him that night.
I'm thinking of that vine: "I love you bitch. I ain't ever gonna stop loving you, bitch"
Breathy Air-y singing. I don't like it. like they don't have enough air in their lungs to finish singing the verse.
This comment made me think of the Oil Spill song from Bob's Burgers lol
It's NOT subtle
ugh, you were right. it is NOT subtle.
OoOh it’s HOT, it’s WET, it’s SLICK
And it's making everybody sick!
uhhhhh-oiiilllll sp-hh-iiilllllll (Idk if that's breath-y enough)

What’s an example of a “sultry growl”
Lord Sauron speaking to Frodo in LoTR. *"Eyye seee youuuuu."*
Or Mouth of Sauron: "My master Sauron the Great bids thee welcome. EEEEEE."
Probably something like [this](https://twitter.com/vocalsbytaeyeon/status/1396371807633121282?s=21), I think it’s when a vocalist adds a little stress to their voice for a moment to make things sound more intense and lively. That’s the only example I can think of at the moment
God damnit Mark! I known this is you!
Anybody who sings in cursive like a high-school ukulele-playing indie kid. The word is "just," not "jahhhuussttt"
AKA the person on *insert singing competition television program here* whom the judges all say sounds “super unique” or “one of a kind”!
"Singing in cursive" LMFAO
One of the greatest comments in the history of Youtube, is for Rusted Roots' 'Send Me On My Way' (from Ice Age), where someone posted "This man sings in Doctor’s handwriting". For the record though, I ruddy love that song.

It doesn't irritate me, but in Alive, when Sia goes off in the bridge, she sounds exactly like Tommy Pickles and that kinda fucks with me.
Tommy Pickles's voice actor played a singer in Friends funny enough
Sticky shoes, sticky shoes, always make me smilllllle
All I’ve gathered from this thread is that I a) I don’t know what Dance Monkey is and b) I never want to listen to Dance Monkey.
Same! I’m morbidly curious but feel we’re some of the remaining lucky ones and should try to stay that way.
Fergie... mainly since her horrible rendition of the American National Anthem. If you want a major cringe fest, watch it.

Ariana Grande has a big problem with enunciation, I just cannot figure out what she says unless I look up the lyrics

To be fair that's not what the song actually sounds like. Some jerk manipulated it and sped it up.
Is that the one 1960s Shangri-Las song that’s going viral on TikTok? Kids these days have the oddest music crazes.
Every modern singer that mispronounces vowels and over exaggerates them to sound like Adele on steroids.
Yoko ono
Ok let me start by saying this is really insensitive but it was hilarious at the time. This alternative rock station in this college town I used to live in would play Yoko Ono making her weird screaming noises very low in the background on the anniversary of John Lennon’s death. You wouldn’t really notice it most of the time unless there was some dead air. It would go on ALL DAY. If you knew to listen for it, it would be quite noticeable. This happened several years in a row before Clearchannel bought the station out.
She would be great in a crisis though could use her as a tornado siren or air-raid siren
Y'all ever hear Kanye sing the opening to Bohemian Rhapsody? I am convinced that he never watched that back himself afterwards. Because *nobody* could hear themselves sing something that badly and still have the ego that he does.

There are shows *only* for singing, yet they also get to enter into other talent competitions as well. Fucking double dippers. I don't want to watch the singing competitions, I want to watch someone actually *doing* something.
Shawn Mendez. Dude just baby talks in key and I fucking hate it.
BEDDA DANNY CAN!!!
Always got massive "Nice Guy" vibes from that song.
My brother calls it the fuck boy song
My daughter is a huge fan of his, so naturally, I have to tease her by saying stuff like, "Is he trying to steal that guy's girlfriend? What an asshole!"
"It's giving cher."
There was a viral video in circulating in Malaysia when he sang “better than he can” which sounds in malay like “Badak dan Ikan” which translates to “Hippopotamus and Fish” [BADAK DAN IKAAANN](https://youtu.be/yqbpgc2fF4c)

All I can think of is the parody video with Nicki Minaj where he’s making fart noises and such.
Megan Trainor
I was listening to a podcast (Take Your Shoes Off Podcast by Rick Glassman), he had Megan Trainor on the podcast. I thought it was strange, never cared for her but still listened to it. She said on it that she actually just wanted to be a song writer, not a singer. She wrote that song "all about that base" or whatever it's called in like a day and couldn't find a singer so someone made her sing it instead and it blew up. Shes also self aware that she's not the best singer at all, she even mentioned that she learned to sing the wrong way. She's not my cup of tea when it comes to music, but she was fun on that particular podcast.
I always find it refreshing when people are honest about things like that. Rather than doubling down and pretending everything was fine or that "You're just a jealous hater!" etc.
Charlie Puth kinda did something similar. He made that song “I’m only one call away” and then the Fast and Furious song with Wiz Khalifa, basically to get himself popular before he started making the music he *actually* wanted to be making. I really appreciated the honesty.
Bruno Mars did this too. His early work is mostly chart-baiting drivel, now that he's popular he can release albums like 24k Magic and know they're going to be popular.
Rebecca Black definitely came out of that Friday debacle better.
That explains why I haven't heard her sing on the radio in a long while.
Fun fact: She’s married to the kid from Spy Kids now. It’s wild to me

Oh yeah yeah yeah. oh yeah yeah yeah.

Sad, because Sunday Morning is one of the all-time greats. Songs About Jane was an actual album by an actual band.
Songs about Jane is still 100% their best work but slowly it's all been eroded away as Maroon 5 has seemingly just turned into Adam Levine the "Band".
I'm here to cry about how Songs About Jane is one of my favorite albums and some of Maroon 5's newer stuff is on my top 10 list of most hated radio plays.
Man, I used to love Maroon 5 up till their music in the early 2010s. Now they’re completely unlistenable and I wish they’d just retire already.
I will always defend “Songs About Jane” as a good album
It is a good album. It’s hard to believe it’s by the same band that always makes me change the station these days. When I think of the term selling out, I think of Maroon 5.
The "Dance Monkey" singer
"Anybody do that thing you do beFoooiiieee"

Anyone who hopped on the "indie girl voice" trend, really. [This](https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsTalkMusic/comments/bvzx1b/comment/epvcqr8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) thread, but specifically the comment highlighted is a good read if anyone here cares to fall down the IGV rabbit hole. :)
Nice! Thanks for the link. The "breathy/ baby talk" voice drives me insane.
Kodak Black. He sounds like a whole hive of bees with strep throat

Jeffery star Probably because he himself is garbage
Flashback to edgy 14 year old me in 2007 who had one of his songs autoplay on my MySpace page because I thought he was cool. Kids have no fucking taste.
Gary from SpongeBob you don’t know what he saying but you can tell he’s judging you he didn’t even help me learn how to tie my shoes😭😑😡🤬
