Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?


For me there is one that has always been top of the list.

Edith Piaf…..l just can’t think of anything worse.

Do not get me wrong and consider my choice is in any way racist….l love to listen to music with songs in any language… Italian, French, Spanish…..

Russian and German can however be extremely demanding, but Edith Piaf (if possible in any language) is a potential harrowing experience.

 

Do any others on here have a similar artist, or artists that can trigger the same physical reaction?

“She sounds like an operatic munchkin”

 

Yes she had a quite small frame but a large voice. Good pair of lungs and arguably did resembled a munchkin.

After some advice from @chrisochea (thank you) l was enticed to listen to her English songs last night and heard positive results….l suddenly found her to be less annoying. Singing in French l always considered her diction to be rasping and excruciating, but in English her voice is a little more mellow and rolled off. 
I must confess her English adaptations only caused a slight irritation, but while listening l still felt l was running into the yellow brick wall.

Ultimately I’ve now decided l will not be revisiting this artist again……well l’m off to have a wiz. Nature is unexpectedly making that call for some reason after reliving all this.

The recording artist is for me someone l just can’t listen to.

Congratulations and kindest regards to all who played a hand in it and got involved. This one has now reached a magical set of numbers for a ‘music’ section question not designed to be a reoccurring post like… “What is playing on your turntable tonight?” or “Tune of the day” which by their nature will go on forever.

This morning it was a nice surprise seeing 11000 views and 350 posts. It has reached a respectable peak, plus for me it has been an enjoyable climb and all in just over 2 weeks.

Thanks again. 11000 metres is about the height of Mount Everest?
