Why is florence and the machine a bad singer?

Answer 1

First of all, Florence + The Machine is the name of a band. Their singer's name is Florence Welch.

As this question is a matter of taste, you may do better to ask yourself why you think she is a bad singer.

She has been reportedly influenced by punk bands like The Ramones, who have an aggressive style that some have trouble palleting. In a June 2009 interview, she tells The London Evening Standard that Bad Girl Grace Slick was a big influence as well; Slick had been described as "over-indulgent" and "jarring beyond ostensible purpose" with "eccentric" phrasing. [Jim Miller, Rolling Stone, Oct 1968] Slick is best known as the singer for Jefferson Airplane, one of the cooler psychedelic rock bands from the sixties, that was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in '96.

She is not [a bad singer]. Her unique talent is different from most singers, which is great. I am not sure why everyone says she is rubbish 'cause it's talent.
