It takes a lot to be a performer. You need stamina, a thick skin, a unique look and a charismatic personality. And while it would be great if you’re super talented too, that’s not a requirement, apparently.
Redditors have recently been discussing famous singers that they don’t think have the pipes to be performing on a professional level, so we’ve gathered some of their hot takes down below. Whether you love these stars or not, there’s no denying that some of them could benefit from a few voice lessons.

I love that people are just naming people they don't like who aren't amazing singers when there's people like Playboi Carti out there

Ethel Merman was known as the worst singer.
She was fabulous.
No one sings *There's No Business Like Show Business* like she does.
Brava, Ms. Merman!

Maybe I'm too old, but I feel like I can never understand any of Ariana Grande's lyrics. They just seem smooshed all together into one indistinct sound.

I can’t believe I’m not seeing Marilyn Manson here. He sounds like a drunk lounge singer trying to be spooky.

Hes almost a performance artist and not a singer really. Its all about the theatrics etc. I still don't like it though.

Dave Mustaine in his prime sounded like a goose getting strangled to death and nowadays he's just grumbling into the mic.
