One observation, Flavour is thrash. You don't believe? watch the video sisi eko remix darey feat flavour, just about the beginning where flavour sang NATURALLY, UNEDITED along with the car stereo THE SAME SONG!!! that dude sang Jazz

verboten:


Poor me.

I don't find her voice great. In fact I don't even want to hear it. I think she screeches. Listening to eminado or the other song with Bello makes me upset. But it's just me, apparently, so I'll mind myself. No be beans to do back up, but it also doesn't mean you have a great voice.

Who would hire a screechy voiced witch to be their back-up? Certainly not those she backed! You don't find her voice agreeable, fine. Same way I don't find some of the world's best agreeable.

Just that it doesn't change the standing fact. That she has the voice to sing....

Omavik:


Yea,,I think D'banj shouldn't be "ON" the list,,except we're talking "top 10 Artist who can not sing".



Then,,he won't escape the list...

hey. Where have you been?

freecocoa:
If I want to make a list of naijarian singers that can't sing, we will sleep here today.

caught you here!
Timi Dakolo is number1 singer right now aslong as i'm concern.
Listen The Vow by him.

NobleAngell:
That list is incomplete without Wizkid and Di'ja. Or maybe you deliberately omitted their names cos you are referring to musicians not clowns.

u are right wizkid no get voice at all...nah person face pple dey use rate song

Mozizkyn0ni:
u are right wizkid no get voice at all...nah person face pple dey use rate song

Exactly!

The omission ketchup and lynx from the list makes it wack....atleart put dprince and vic o...and that fake ass nigga that calls himself ice prince...

The omission ketchup and lynx from the list makes it wack....atleast put dprince and vic o...and that fake ass nigga that calls himself ice prince...

Abeg swap D'banj to Lil kesh first to make d list perfect.

Please direct me to what you think is her best vocal performance. I have an idea.

So na now una know? Unfortunately I don't patronise Nigerian music. I can't dance so music only appeals to my soul. I dont find most Nigerian musics soul-appealing.

I would ve totaly agreed if pepenazi was d first

Four Nigerian Singers Who Actually Can Not Sing
Good music, anywhere in the world, brings life to the saddest of soul, safe to say, Music is life. Now when you want to rate a music as being good, the first criteria on the list will definitely be the voice. A good voice is etched in timbre and tone and can withstand the heaviest of pitch be it high or low.

Good music makes you stay in that blue or pink buble, that place you feel safe and hapy at all time, which makes listening to a bad song make one feel likestanding under a tap and allowing the water run into your ear drum.

It beats me when I hear people comparing a terrible singer who sounds like he or she swallowed a huge fish and decided on using alcohol to wash it down to an excellent vocal powerhouse singer all because the latter is selling more record…till date, am stil at a loss.We will be using the number one criteria of good music (Voice) today to list five top artistes who are the worst singers yet in the industry.


1.Davido: Except most people want to lie to themselves will they claim this fine and successful gentleman is a good singer, lets face it, Davido, is a terrible singer. Some would want to claim it’s because he has a raspy voice…no child…its just clear, he is a terrible singer. When he sings, it sounds like mid aged Patrick Star of Spongebob Square pants series.


2. Kcee: Yeah, he got away with the Limpopo song and felt, ‘Hey People are enjoying me, why not keep on making people fall into coma every time I sing and make my money’ hence Bureau de Changer. No argument, no debate…Kcee, should stop singing already, but again, I think with training, he can get there. You can do it Kcee, we believe in you.


3. D’banj: No doubt you are an entertainer, but no sir, singing is a no no. D’banj, sounds like an over-riped mango sometimes having its skin peeled off aggressively with a screw cork instead of a knife.


4.Lola Rae: I have listened to her songs over and over again and all I can think of is barbie dolls making funny noises but then I realized its just her voice.

This list is solidly based on my opinion. Which singer do you guys think should make the list.

Of all d insipid, non-intelligent n stupid posts I hv ever seen on nairaland,,, dis clearly stands out as d *stupidest*, it reigns a King among all stupid write-ups. Infact, op jst set a new standard of measuring stupidity. Rubbish

NobleAngell:
Yeah. Awww is ok. She tried. But do you agree with me that her part was the worse in Jantamanta?

you got it spot on.. Anytime i'm listening to Jantamanta i always dread her part,it's so soppy and weak. Damn

Op r u talkn vocally or lyrically? A lot of dem can do neither. U wld tnk wt all d money dey claim 2 b getting in their songs, dey wld get singing lessons 4rm voice coaches lyk gogo majin. d reason most of their songs appeal 2 pple is because 1. dey use gud producers, mixers, sound engineers & vocal enhancement apps (autotune) 2. Most nigerians lack gud taste in music. dey only follow wts trending & wt dey can dance 2. I was flabbergasted when i discovered dt a whole p square cldnt perform wt a band onstage @ d 2014 glo/CAF awards. It was embarrassing! Vocally only a few of dem eg (largely female) r ok (suprisingly olamide is quite good vocally). Their performance @ shows r usually just exaggerated versions of karaoke & "lip sync battles". It goes 2 $hit if d DJ or sound crew messes up unlyk foreign acts (a prime example is adele's performance @ d 2016 grammys; even wt sound problems, her vocals were clearly distinguishable & as usual out of dis world). Then their lyrics... highly super hyper F. U. C. K. E. D. I can count d number of 9ja songs wt nyc lyrics i've heard dis yr on 1 hand. Have u noticed dt on music channels lyk MTV base, sound city, trace etc, dey hardly play 9ja songs on segments lyk baseline, lyrics 2 go, lyricist's lounge etc (where dey write d lyrics of songs so dt viewers can sing along)? When dey do eventually play a 9ja song & i read d lyrics, i feel ashamed. Na so so "eh eh eh", "ah ah ah" & "yea yea yea" go constitute half of d song. D rest r usually ret*rded, meaningless, weak-minded words dt make neither head nor tail. D savn grace is usually d instrumentals & sometyms d chorus. u tnk am kidn? Take 4 example, pepenazi's "illegal"- take out olamide's part & wt u hv is a wack piece of crap.

As long as it has a nyc beat, anytn goes. Tell me, wt message did korede bello's "mungo park" pass except dt he's a lyrically inept twit who urgently needs a gud songwriter 2 prevent his budding career 4rm wiltn?

I love your detailed writeup, but too much abbreviation makes it disgusting to read.

If you grew up in the seventies or u were in your teenage in the eighties you will understand the meaning of good music ,cos I fall into this class ,music is not just about the noise, as experienced nowadays ,a good music well appreciated 50 years ago will still be a block buster today ,and in 50 years to come ,it doesn't have an expiry date ,it's evergreen n we that had be around a bit longer knows what am talking about,but what do we have today as music (ORGANIZED NOISE) oh yes that is what is prevalent now ,the 4 listed above is just a tiny fraction of organized noise makers ,I could list like 50 if time permits me ,but what I use to console my self any time I listen to their trash is that my innocent children dance to their rhythm n lyrics something am still battling to discourage them from. However my appeal to up and coming musician is to put your head in use before you put your pen on paper while composing .it shouldn't be about pidgin language ,or vulgarized rhythms n lyrics all the times.

op the list should be ten musicians who can't sing then kcee should be on No1-7......that guy is the worst thing that's happen to music in general,,,,his lyrics gives me the creeps
