Those songs where you can't understand a word they're saying for some reason. I vote Christina Aguilera in some of her songs

As much as I like her, Leona Lewis.

Diana Vickers too but we've not heard from her in a while.

Yeah I agree about Leona, she has such good range, but her diction is actually appauling especially on the last album. It's either 'Broken' or 'Can't Breathe' I cant remember which one, but at the end I literally can't make out a word and it ruins an amazing song.

Diana Vickers....I just cannot understand what on Earth she's singing about in My Wicked Heart...

That video pretty much sums up what I get from the song when I hear it...

The Saturdays in their new song All Fired Up. Other than the chorus, wtf are they singing? Not that I care, they're ****ing shit.

I am a big Leona fan. but agree her diction is sometimes poor. Her voice and songs are good enough to make up for it though

Can't hold us down was the worst when it comes to this - there were parts of the first verse which just sounded ridiculous!

I agree, Family Guy say it best - you can only understand the end of his sentences!

Disagree on Christina. I've never had any problem understanding her when she's singing, and definitely not on that song.

Shaggy, especially on the song It Wasn't Me. On all the parts where he raps I can only understand about one word per sentence.

I absolutely love Hanson (seriously, they're excellent) but I can barely make out a word Taylor Hanson sings.

See if you can work out what he's saying!

Pixie Lott
especially "cry me out". had to look up the lyrics of the verses because i honestly had no idea what she was singing.

She has a great voice though

The Cocteau Twins.

But that was kind of the point. Liz Fraser's vocals and lyrics were deliberately obscure to the point where words were entirely made-up or used out of context.

I've been a fan for years, but I cannot for love nor money understand what Sean Paul says.

Anything by Radiohead. Thom Yorke just mumbles some stuff that sounds like hmggf.

I started listening to Sia recently. I agree though, I had to look for lyrics at one point

We Are Born is a really good album.

Early Kings Of Leon can get a bit tricky. He uses the c word in one song on A-Ha Shake Heartbreak and you would barely notice.

Some of the lyrics to this song I find a little hard to understand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLhYxLE8uCA (the group is from Germany so that might be why).
