Using the grammies or oscar as a template who would be
the nominees for these categories:

1.Best Male vocalist
2.Best female vocalist
3.Worst male vocalist
4.Worst female vocalist

the criteria is endless...you don't have to list the winner
of each catergory...just people you would nominate.

name as many people as you can. i'm real curious about
where everybody's choices.

i'll get thangs rolling...with the worst male category.
(keep in mind i'm not saying i don't like these people i'm just talking about their vocal ability)
1. bob dylan 2.mark knopler 3.sonny bono 4.bono (i know he's
a star but i don't think his voice is that hot)
5.fabian (for people who remember the 50's)

while i'm thinking about it:
the best female singer catgory:
1.CHaka kahn 2. patti LA belle 3.anita baker 4.mariah carey
5. whitney houston 6. stephanie mills 7. areatha franklin
(i know there's more...these are just the ones i hear
in my head right now...)

1. best male vocalist-stevie wonder...followed closely by the late chet baker he had so much clarity & control...

2. best female vocalist-i love a lot of female vocalists...but i'm saying gladys knight right now...her voice cuts right thru everything and she can make me feel anything she is saying...that to me is far more important than vocal gymnastics...and honestly..tho it's an entirely different type of singing, the power and control of k.d.lang's voice makes her one of the best real singers to come along in a long time i'd say...

1. worst male singer-any of those so-called 'alternative' singers...such as scott stapp, rob thomas, etc. who over-pronounce their words and at the same time sound like they have marbles in their mouths..
and enrique englesias...over emotes, can't hit a high note...
musiq is pretty terrible too..i saw him on tributes to both stevie wonder & labelle...and he was honestly the worst vocalist on both of those programs...his range is very limited..and he can't control the mic...

2.worst female singer-shania twain can't hold a note..she's terrible..britney is pretty close behind her...a lot of the pop barbie dolls are really awful...faith hill..ashanti...without writers & producers they'd only be appearing at a local karoake bar...
