Who is your favourite singer who can't sing?

For me, it has to be that undervalued under-appreciated force in music known as Linda Martin who has revolutionised the music industry and pop music in general.

For those of you who aren't aware, she was kind enough to bless us with this performance:

Stephen Malkmus, was the singer in the band Pavement. Love them.

Favourite singer who can't sing? Well, me of course!

if they are famous they can sing to some level. 'can't sing' is literally not having a note in your head.

It has to be Will.I.Am, he admits he can't song but has made some of the most popular songs ever by using computers to change his voice.

Still very shaky, by far and away my favourite artist, the passion in his voice is like no-one else, but lets not pretend he's has a great singing voice.

"Yesterday was Thursday Thursday, today it is Friday Friday...tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes afterwards". You have to admit, girl makes a lot of sense.

So that's where the "awkward dancing girl" meme came out of, but Jesus that is brutal.

Can hardly be considered someone who can't sing, in fairness.

I assume, simply because nobody has contended it, that everyone agrees Ms. Martin is considered the best Irish performer in music history.

Gotta be Shane McGowan.
Tone deaf, mummbles, slurs his words - but somehow his songs sound better for it, when you hear real singers sing them they just sound wrong!
