worse entertainer or performer of all time??

OK, more choices:

Before going on, just to mention again that after carefull consideration, Kenny ''G'', ''microwave-your-meal-is-ready'' sound he makes with his instrument, is the absolute worst performer of all time in my book.

I just could not imagine sitting a 2 hours concerts of this ear-bleeding stuff. I bet even HE wears ear-plugs to his own concerts.

William Shatner. Disclosure: I happen to LIKE his ''Has Been'' cd!. But, EVERYONE I know puts him in the 3 worst performers of all time.

Foreigner: Just can't stand the singer. When he sings ''your'e as cold as ice'' I actually feel the ice run down my back. Cold and aseptic music if I ever hear it.

''ZZZNorah'' Jones. I know she is a sweetheart and all that, and that the record company WANTS me to like her. But it just gets me to sleep faster than any night-time Tylynol ever could.

Britney Spears: Ok not of my generation, but I can tell when a performer is auto-tuned and technology supported. Sings like a turkey, moves like one too. Shame.

Michael Bolton: Like Kenny G, bad enough for a second-round vote, probably a third one too if it comes around. When I hear him on the radio, only one word comes to mind: WHY?

Stay tuned for a third round....

Cheers all, and my apologies to all Kenny and Bolties fans out there - I call 'em as I hear 'em.

>she pretty much launched me into puberty ... Joey Heatherton

Oh, me too !

I once sat thru a Yoko Ono set at John Lennon's One to One charity concert at Madison Square Garden. I can still recall thinking that, when the subway screeched around a turn on my ride home after the show, it sounded more musical than Yoko.

Another candidate for honors in this thread was the host of that show...Geralso Rivera.

I think the thread should be limited to people who sing as their day job, not sports stars or actors like William Shatner. Alright, bad example, not an actor either.

Anyone can be persuaded by a sycophant hanger on, that the world has been waiting for their off key crooning.

Some wondrful suggestions, not many classical. May I nominate Monserrat Caballe, the Spainish Soprano. One of those voices that go through your ears like an icepick. An icepick would be preferable.

Tiny Tim...Terry Bradshaw...The Oriental kid from American something or other tv talent show who had that one stupid hit.

Came to me...American Idol. Can`t remember the name of the song.
