This is gonna sound hella weird but these three cannot sing to save their lives: Carly Simon, Sade Adu, Morrissey. They have serious pitch issues, they just don't have a singer's voice.
...and yet despite that I LOVE their music.
Natalie Cole had developed a not so pleasant sounding tone in the latter years of her career. I remember watching her Oscar performance (she was a last minute replacement for Whitney Houston)... her singing "I Have Nothing"... she sounds like a duck!
Paula Abdul was the originator for non-singers; in the words of Whitney Houston: "That woman is off key. In the studio". Cassie is another example of that.
Bob Dylan's tone is really ugly sounding. Try listening to his Christmas album... my God.

For me some artists have terrible tone all the time, and some just in certain songs or eras. All the time: Camilla Cabello - Just horrible, I literally have to stop listening when she comes on Jessie J The Simpsons (Jessica/Ashlee) Shawn Mendes Miley Cyrus - though she can sometimes make it work, like on "We Can't Stop" Ellie Goulding Charlie Puth - can't put my finger exactly on what it is, but something sounds off to me Jesse McCartney Selena Gomez - though Kygo did a girl right on "It Ain't Me" Jonas Brothers/Nick Jonas - why does he always sound constipated? But I looove "Jealous" Hilary Duff - omg I almost forgot about her, I mean she seems so nice and has some catchy songs but her voice Sometimes (and some of these are my FAVS): Nelly Furtado - anything after Loose, especially her accent on "Manos al Aire" and basically anything from TSI (though "Parking Lot" is my jam) Lady Gaga - Love her, but sometimes her tone is so extra, and sometimes it's HORRIBLE (Hello "Parfact Illooshan") Shakira - Her Spanish stuff is LEGENDARY, but a lot of her stuff in English sounds bad Justin Timberlake Adam Levine - sounds better on the soul/funk/rock stuff, but the falsetto pop thing gets so annoying Christina Aguilera - ok I'm not an Xtina fan but I appreciate the strength of her voice, except for when it's literally distorted by the mic bc she's screaming Sam Smith - I go back and forth on this one. The weepy emotional vocals can be moving sometimes, but he tends to overdo it Beyonce - overuses the growl, gotten worse over the last 3 albums or so

Tbh listening to Eyes On You makes me get the hate for Nicky Youre's voice a lot more. On Sunroof, he was serviceable, if sounding like a 5-year-old. Who decided to dump that much autotune on him for a song that's basically Sunroof pt 2 electric boogaloo, ESPECIALLY on the opening lines?
