Shakira's voice makes my brain hurt.

There's a line in the latest Shakira single (you know, the ballady one that sounds a ton like 'Eternal Flame' - but I digress) that's possibly the most irritatingly *sung* line I've heard in recent memory. I believe it's actually the very last line, where she puts on this faux-sex kitten rasp and coos like a squirrel in heat. To my ears, it's the most contrived bit of vocal histrionics, but it also got me thinking...

What other lines from popular songs irritate because of the way the artist is *singing* them? I'm talking about things like inflection, tone, pronounciation, etc. When Good Songs Are Ruined By Bad People, etc...

Ashford & Simpson come irresistably to mind here

Jennifer Lopez. Argh! That "tell me right NOW!" bit in If You had My Love is just THE most singularly IRRITATING word ever.
