The first post literally says "not the worst, just irritating to you" so some people are really getting their knickers in a twist for no reason.

I didn’t realise there was a wrong or right answer to the opening question! I thought it was to do with personal preference.

Mariah Carey being the best example of this. Objectively speaking, a very talented vocalist. But that whistle-tone is sure as hell going to sound like nails down a chalk board to many. Also that so often it's not in sympathy with the song. Just vocal gymnastics for the sake of it. Imagine replacing Ringo Starr with Ginger Baker.
The smartest thing about "All I Want For Christmas" is they cut that bit out whenever they play it.

Wow, so many fussy listeners, so you dont like anything by those artists you mention, because you cant stand their vocals? Wow! Certain songs by certain artists might annoy me, Wuthering heights - Kate Bush, Whitney - I will always love you, but I'd never dismiss all of their stuff, because their vocals vary. Calm down, nobody said anything about hating everything an artist has ever recorded. The question was about disliking vocals, not entire back catalogues. Calm down? Oh my! No knickers in a twist, and yes it's about personal preference, I'm just amazed there are so many suggestions. But it's just a bit of fun, and no dissenting/different voices allowed obviously.

Enrique Iglesias is absolutely robbing a living.

Oh, and I've always found Damien Rice's deliberately-slightly-offkey-because-it's-all-emotional schtick quite annoying.

To get it off my chest I find all Arctic Monkeys songs bar one unlistenable.
One more than Stone Roses.

Breathy paper thin female vocals are almost always a no from me.
On the other end of the scale I can’t listen to Luke La Volpe

Oh I forgot about Macy Gray, not a fan either.
I also cannot stand Ed Sheeran but more because of his music in general than his vocals per se.

Lewis Capaldi, or indeed anyone who hams up the passion in their voice to disguise the fact they can't sing very well.

For the older generation Björk. For the younger generation Billie Eilish
Even today, Vanessa Paradis singing in English sounds dreadful, her voice was never suited to it.
