Zayn Malik has a great voice but is somewhat of a mumbler and can suffer projection issues when he's not belting out a high note. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AJYWVYL4JQ
I'm amazed that nobody's mentioned James Dean Bradfield yet I know he has some difficult lyrics to work with but I can sometimes get through an entire song and only pick out one or two words.
Liz Fraser's a funny one. It seems that the Japanese were attempting to add lyrics to their versions of Cocteau Twins' albums without realising that the words are largely made up

Nat King Cole had very good diction as does Tom from Keane.
Often, having to speak/sing in a language that isn't yours forces you to have better diction than you might ordinarily thus the Abba girls do pretty well overall...

Liz Fraser was brilliant. She was creating a singing language of her own. Jonsi out of Sigur Ros does something similar. It's a form of musical 'Impressionism'.
I'm enthralled by the underlying snobbery in this. I'm thinking G B Shaw's 'Pygmalion' is alive and well and living on DS.
I suspect some people here would have criticised J W Turner's works for being blurry.
It does seem a bit pointless considering that a high percentage of vocals by chart acts are deliberately auto-tuned and synthesised to the point where you can't make out any of the words at all.

I agree, Morrissey has perfect diction, as does Dan from The Feeling.
