Ozzy: rubbish singer says Q magazine

- Ozzy Osbourne »
Well, yes, but it's a little cruel to say so...
Q magazine - your dad probably buys it to disguise his filth when your mum's around - has revealed that Ozzy Osbourne is one of the worst singers of all time, alongside such talents as Mariah Carey and Celine Dion.
The magazine's poll concluded that Elvis - Presley, not Costello - possessed the "greatest voice of all time" - a pretty special achievement for a totally dead dude - while Osbourne was summarised thusly:
"(Ozzy) now sings like he speaks — this may be a cause for sympathy, but not for buying his albums."
You horrible writers, you. Of course, we're with them on the Dion front ("she grinds out every note as if bearing some grudge against the very notion of economy") - the sooner that giraffe-necked freak of nature is silenced, the better.

what a load of shit, sabbath with ozzy as lead were amazing aand his voice is, on those records fantastic, bet there was a load of shite in the list.
Blimey!
Are you guys having a drugs party in the office today? If so, can I come?
Fuck you Q
piece of shit.
What IS Q doing?
Even if the artists it covered were relatively (if not very) mainstream, the articles used to be very readable. Now you get one - two if you're lucky, then most of it given over to some stupid list.
I only still buy it because I like to get one monthly, your Voxes and Selects fell by the wayside, and Uncut and Mojo are boring beyond belief. But my copy now passes round several people that all used to buy their own. 2/3 hours later, they're done with it. And I'm sorely tempted to stop getting it entirely...
Broke my Q habit
about a year ago...feel much better for it
Yep so did I...
...it is well and truly shit.
I bought a new music magazine
about 3 or 4 weeks ago and i can't remember for the life of me what it was called.
I do remember it was primarily London based and they had a feature in it where some of the staff split into a couple of teams and went around London trying to get into as many gigs in one night as they could - for free.
I thought it was an alright may actually.
I only bought it because the Shins where on the front cover and Wincing was featured.
I gave up on Q.
Magazine started off ok. THEN WENT THE WAY OF MOJO.
Except with an irritating surplus of short full-stop sentences. Now won't even buy if there is a CD on the cover. GOOD RIDDANCE.
feel better now
Was this in
a and-now-the-worst-singers-ever insert for, hmm, let me guess, a TOP 100 GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME EVER!!!!! list?
Correct
...with THE TOP 1000 SONGS!!!! EVER!!!
can someone please rec me
an actually decent music magazine?
The Word
Their album reviews are free of star ratings/percentages/Ks/whatever. I like that.
Plan B
ditto.
At Least Its Not....
The NME
So it could be worse!
To be fair,
they're right. But they're Q and I want them all to die, so I never said so.
I really should cancel my subscription
I took it out about two years ago to get some free Cd's and just keep forgetting to cancel
Play Music
That sounds like Play Music magazine to me. Started off I believe as a freebie in guitar shops etc with tons of articles on guitar reviews, microphone reviews, recording etc but has now got a big brother of a proper music mag. It's pretty good, the writing isnt always fantastic but they cover a lot of good stuff and a lot of young good new bands that no other glossy touches (untitled musical project etc).
Rock-A-Rolla
truly the best
Uncut!
I read Uncut for the first time in ages last week and thought it was dead good. It covered a decent range of stuff, had a nice feature on Morrissey (or The Smiths, can't remember) in which loads of great songwriters were asked to talk about their favourite Moz penned tune and they ran an article on my most favouritest band! Hoorah for Uncut, I say.
Dion is great!
They call me the wanderer - yeah -the wanderer
I roam around around around around...
Q?
more like poo.
i don't read any magazines really, but if i pick one up it surely isn't Q.
list after list after list
i even wrote an email to Q after their apparant 'relaunch' a couple of months back telling to to stop writing fucking pointless lists of U2 songs and why the hell was there ever an article about James Blunt in it. The swines never replied and in fact ended up including more lists than ever.
I'd like to give up Q but i just can't. I guess its like a dying stray dog. Actually forget that, its nothing like a dying stray dog.
