I forgot all about K-Ci & JoJo....they will ruin a perfectly good song with over singing.

Then when K-Ci starts taking his shirt off...

OMG, I almost forgot the worst male offender - Wanya Morris from Boyz II Men. Dude can't hold his head still for nothing when he's (over)singing!

RipHer2Shreds said:

Oh for sure. How could we forget this guy?

kisscamille said:

For real....

Forgot about him too.....

If they were all together on one stage, that would be one hell of a show

kisscamille said:

I love GM! He doesn't overdo it-- his notes are usually simple and clean, to my recollection. Very pleasing.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Oh, yes. I would be so afraid for him, covering my eyes so I wouldn't see his head explode.

Celine (the worst, in my opinion)

Mariah

Whitney

R Kelly

Wayna Morris

XTina

Michael Bolton (which is pretty much anytime he opens his mouth, since he has NO range).

I´ve never heard Gloria Esfefana actually sing. But of course she undersings a lot.

What about Lauryn Hill?

And dont forget the white queens of oversinging--Barbra and Celine.

A girl that never oversing? Missy Elliott

and Alicia Keys

Lauryn Hill doesn't oversing! Most of the time she's low-key actually.

She's dynamic. Alot of the people listed here just oversing right out the gate.


Remember 2003 MTV Video Awards?

Christina Aguilera "Like a viirrrrgin!"

how about Chaka Khan? Does she over do it??

remember on VH1's Diva Concert when Mimi, Shania Twain, Celine Dione, Aretha Franklin and Gloria Estefan mangled "natural woman"? Talk about trying to out do eah other? i really thought someone spontaneously combust.

dancerella said:

Who´s Mimi?

I never think of Chaka Khan as overdoing it... she's just awesome.

And again, better with dynamics.

CinisterCee said:

Sometimes its ok when she oversings, say her version of My Funny Valentine. Its amazing.

dammme said:

Man it's ALWAYS ok

And yes, I love her rendition of "My Funny Valentine".

I love her, but add Nikka Costa to the list.

And Patti Labelle is absolutely the oversinging queen

On A House Is Not A Home,his performance is perfect!

dammme said:

hey! leave barbra outta it, thats my bitch

Lenny "Cause I love You" Willams. god,somebody kill that noise.

gypsyfire said:

wow thanks! another good tori quote. i collect them!

this is one of my favs:

Dr. Amos recalls, " the first time I told Tori the Christmas story, she asked me what would have happened if Joseph had emerged from the manger shouting 'Wow! It's a girl'-----Tori Amos

funkpill said:

me too.

vainandy said:

i don't know about all of them but most of the ones i've heard are like that. i really don't understand it either. do people actually LIKE that type of stuff? (the singing that is) it seems to be so very popular so i guess they do. i can't stand it.

my nomination for this topic is "bleeding gums murphy" from 'the simpsons'. i'm talkin about the episode where he sang the national anthem before some ball game i think.

lauryn 'crazy' hill

tho i do love her

CinisterCee said:

its tha sweeeeeteset thing i knowwwww

sweet said:

man sometimes she belts out her hooks but obviously she has control over her verses.

lovedad43 said:

it might've been over sung { if that makes sense } but it was

the shiznitz...

tonyat said:

dammme said:
