worse entertainer or performer of all time??

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.

That's an easy one for me:

Yoko Ono : Makes my ears bleed. Her claim to fame was never as a singer.

Michael Bolton: Crying his lung out makes me switch stations fast.

Kenny G: It's like hearing the ''your meal is ready'' tone on the microwave oven on a permannent basis. Ouch.

Yanni: Proof that one man (I think) can direct a whole orchestra with his pinky finger, while playing a single piano note every five minutes. Muzak for the masses.

There are so many others, I will keep them for another time. To be continued....
