You don't accept to be a proficient singer to have a music career — just ask anyone on our list of 15 terrible alive performers. Earlier you lot get on though, pass up the volume on your PC and grab a pen and then y'all can commencement crossing people off of your must-come across concert list.

Ashanti

No one expects Ashanti to be able to blow. Just we have a feeling that Ashanti believes her ain hype. Why else would she tackle Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing?" It was one of her worst performances to date and that'south saying something.

Total

Total can barely hold it together in the studio so nosotros're not certain why anyone showed upwards to their live performances in the first place. My favorite part of this terrible live functioning of "Can't You See" is when Diddy asks the audience to "assistance them sing" aka "help him drown out their nasal, off-key voices".

Al B. Certain

Al B. Sure has earned himself a solid place among the worst performers in history. This edition of "Off On Your Own Girl" from 1998 is hilariously terrible. You ever hear someone singing along with their headphones in and they have no idea how terrible and off-key they sound? It's kind of similar that. Even the fill-in singers sound bad.

Milli Vanilli

Milli Vanilli didn't let terrible singing voices stop them from getting to the top of the charts. Their label just hired ii guys to sing on the anthology and Milli Vanilli lip synced the lyrics on the album…until the anthology skipped and they ran off stage embarrassed.

Ashlee Simpson

After Milli Vanilli flopped, we thought lip syncing on phase was washed. But Ashlee Simpson proved us wrong when her album stopped and she jigged her way off stage. Awkward.

Miley Cyrus

We all know Miley can't dance, but she can't sing live either. Check out her butcher one of her striking singles on the "Today" prove. Yous may want to plough the book all the way down on this one. Miley sounds like a warped cassette tape and doesn't manage to sing a single annotation on primal.

Rihanna

Some people dearest Rihanna'due south vox and some people can't stand it. Merely whatever your opinion, in that location's niggling take chances that Rihanna will get downwards equally i of the all-time live singers of all fourth dimension. In this video, she's atrocious. And before you say "but she was just xv" check out this more recent live clip where no one tin sympathize the lyrics that get forth with the notes she's butchering.

Mariah Carey

This i is tough to understand because we know Mariah can sang. But in the final half-dozen months or and then, her alive performances accept been terrible at best. Her live performance of "Cute" on "Adept Morning America" was so bad the unmarried plummeted down the Apple tree's iTunes chart. Now she's taken to lip syncing her alive performances and lying almost it.

Cassie

Cassie's 2006 live performance of "Me & U" on BET was and then bad that she didn't perform live again for another six years. And when she came back to "106 & Park" to perform "Kingdom of Hearts", she was only a little bit better.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry is a terrible alive vocalist. Luckily, yous rarely get to hear her sing alive. She's famous for lip syncing her lyrics to spare our ears.

Alicia Keys

Alicia is another famous singer who roughshod off. She used to perform well live. But now her music and her pipes have fallen off. Her Super Bowl and Grammy performances were bottomless. And during her concerts, the audience is busy tweeting about how she tin't sing.

The Black Eyed Peas

Their Super Bowl performance. Enough said (Likewise, virtually of their other performances).

Ciara

Just similar Cassie, Ciara bombed on BET. If you know you demand pitch correction, why agree to a live performance in the outset identify? Her live operation of "DUI" was pitchy, tedious and only obviously hard to scout. If yous're a Cassie fan, just by the album and skip out on the concert.

Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey is so terrible live that she may go down in history as being the worst SNL performer always. Just check out what happened when she tried to sing her vocal "Blueish Jeans."

At least Lana knows she'southward terrible. This is what she had to say about her live performances:

"I think like, the people who have been listening to my music for a piddling while know that I'm more of a writer and, like, a studio singer…You can't look too much from my prove."

Britney Spears

No terrible alive performance list would be complete without Britney's disturbingly bad comeback performance. She slumped around stage, lip synced and wore an outfit two sizes besides tight. And I know I'm not the but i who thinks that she was on drugs.
