worse entertainer or performer of all time??


I would like to try something new or at least get away from what TT or amp should I pick type of posting.I am wondering from many of my fellow Audiogoners what performer past and present made you say to yourself WHO TOLD THIS PERSON THEY HAD SERIOUS TALENT. My pick would be for the moment Jennifer Lopez. I just have no idea how in the world she got where she is today. I guess just good luck and the exceptance of mediocrity. Please this posting was not meant to insult anyones musical taste.

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....
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.
New spin on old thread!

I also happen to like William Shatner!

I still stand by Kenny G as the worst of all time, in a tie with Michael Bolton and the singer from Nazareth ''Love Hurts'' closing in rapidly, what an ear bleeder this guy is.
