>can't really technically sing well
you mean like out of tune and shit? that's always terrible
if you just mean like a "bad voice" or something then that's understandable
No, the worst is when they decide to sing like a black girl (modern) and slur all their words, failing to annunciate anything. Obnoxious over singing is infinitely more tolerable than that.
I like technically good singing but one where the singer doesn't seem to do it "effortlessly"
otherwise I start to take it for granted and it stops being enjoyable
I like good singing but it’s pointless to be an amazing singer and only have boring ass music.
I do like unique voices more generally. For example I love Bob Dylan as a singer and singer writer. I don’t get the hate for his voice - it sounds great on his albums.
I accept this, only in the sense of being good but then stretching it above their limits so it becomes true even if it's now broken. case in point https://youtu.be/8UVNT4wvIGY?si=qT7nzIb2dlCu5BsS&t=93

I agree, they sound more real and genuine.
David Byrne thought the same thing.
I don't mind vocals that much as long as they are not trying too hard to be the center of attention.
I don't like dazzling Whitney Houston singing, that soaring, over-the-top American Idol style
Nothing worse than when a girl with a nice voice decides to sing like a black girl. Don't (you) me.

i hate when they hold one word and hit a million notes with it like thats the pinnacle of singing

you are just saying you like indie music.

just look at Lou Reed
I like good singing, but I don't hate bad singing. The worst is mediocre singing or overperformers.
I like anyone who is unique.
I can't stand the singing in modern pop that sounds like a youtube cover or transatlantic plus jamaican whining
No, but I like when the singer actually has a unique voice.
Why the new Caroline Polachek and Kelela albums are boring as fuck. Especially Kelela's constant "oooOOOOoooOOaaAAAaaaAA"
>The better a singer's voice, the harder it is to believe what they're saying
yeah it has more soul

Cobain was also big at breaking his voice, https://youtu.be/d4LdUQzCPPM?si=dgYPXMvA3t7pm-Wh&t=34
it shows genuine emotional vulnerability that transcends surface-level beauty aka SOVL
Ian Curtis
Depends on the genre
as long as it fits the music idgaf
Good musicians generally make bad music.
I want to celebrate mediocrity because it makes me feel better about myself.
