Being able to sing is a wonderful talent to have and there are certainly celebrities out there who have disability. They become stars because of their distinct voices and the way they are able to combine them with performance ability and personal charisma. And yet there are some singers out there who straddle the line between actual singing and shouting at the top of their lungs. While they may certainly have talent, sometimes it gets to a point where you have to wonder if they are actually singing or if they are shouting. There’s nothing particularly wrong with this, since many people interpret it as simply having a powerful voice. But sometimes it becomes so noticeable that it actually gets in the way of being able to enjoy their songs. Here is a list of some of the most famous singers who actually shout more than they Sing.
1. Jennifer Hudson – she gave us a brilliant Oscar worthy performance and continues to dazzle crowds with her natural ability as well. But have you seen her in that Weight Watchers commercial? What is going on there? Obviously she is excited about losing so much weight but that she have to shout at the top of her lungs? She looks great but at the same time you literally have to turn down the volume on your TV whenever that commercial comes up. No doubt she has a powerful voice, she just needs to tune it down a notch or two unless part of her weight loss secret is sounding like she is trapped at the bottom of the canyon.
2. Fergie – one horrible Super Bowl halftime show appearance later, and you are reminded how loud Fergie can actually get. It’s almost as if she didn’t even need a microphone and she belted out all of her bands most popular tunes. It was rather shrill and very difficult to listen to, which is a shame because Fergie can have a nice soft sounding voice when she wants to. At the same time, when she wants to ramp up the volume she has the ability to redirect bats in midair with the high pitch of her voice. She shot to fame with a decent voice so let’s see if she can turn things around.
3. Christina Aguilera – this young miss has fallen on hard times as of late given her horrible rendition of the national anthem and also having a small slip up at the Grammys. Her national anthem was already shaky enough to begin with because she was putting a bit too much twist on her vocals. You knew that she was going to amp-up the volume and do all those “whoa whoa whoa” tricks that she’s famous for, but somehow she took it to another level and completely butchered the song when she added incorrect lyrics at the same time. Don’t get us wrong, Christina Aguilera has a beautiful voice and we will always continue to be fans. But sometimes it’s just way too over the top and it forces you to laugh at her performance rather than appreciate it.
4. Steven Tyler – love him or hate him, and most people love him even though he’s sort of sold-out in becoming an American Idol judge, this guy knows how to sing. And it’s not that he shouts throughout all of his songs, it’s just that during any given one song it’s guaranteed that he is going to shout at some point. It’s become his signature trademark, and in the end it’s not as annoying as any of the other singers, but there’s no way you can call it singing when he lets out that familiar “wyaaaaaaaaaaa!”.
5. Chad Kroeger – Nickleback remains one of the most popular rock bands today so there’s no denying that this gentleman has some talent. But at the same time, there is absolutely nothing subtle about his singing ability. He has one setting and it happens to be set on full-shout. Sometimes you wish you could tell him that you get the point of the song without him having to scream at the top of his lungs. He sort of reminds you of your drunk friend who is way too loud for the room but you can’t quite tell him to shut up.
Hey Chad, what’s the opposite of whispering?
