worse entertainer or performer of all time??

Any of post-mid-1980's country music. Someone else alluded to it earlier in this thread. There's an element of hermetically sealed self containment about this sub-genre to the extent that it no longer serves as a regionally twanged commentary on life but has instead become a regionally twanged commentary on country music. Sort of like a hundred-odd high end gallery abetted visual artists exclusively painting still lifes which depict paintbrushes and tubes of oil paint. Someone must be buying lots of these five-decades-after-fact devotionals as to whether Hank would approve. Not I.

Have to agree with Priz. And what was the reason Genesis went with Phil for their singer after Gabriel left? Because his voice sounded uncannily close to Gabriel's, which you can hear on very early Genesis where Collins sings harmony with Gabriel>

Yup, Phil Collins.

The mastermind behind the cover of Supremes "You Can't Hurry Love" and the pop classic "Sussudia".

Move over Donny Osmond and David Cassidy.

This could win it all.....

Whitney Houston singing I Will Always Love You. C'mon! is there a single more anoying track anywhere? I was in London about fifteen years ago and there was a court case in the news at the time where an apartment resident had burst into his neighbors flat and smashed her cd player into 1000 bits because she played the song over and over and over all day long LOUD. She pressed charges and the judge dismissed the case on the grounds that the song could drive anyone postal!

A small measure of justice.

Great Post, some responses are absolutely hysterical! But seriously the worst act I ever saw (and regretably heard) was Walter 'Wolfman' Washington. The worst part about this 'act' I saw is that he brought his own cheering section ( Bottom Line late 90's) He sounded horrible.
