Yes, because "best" and "worst" are all opinionated. Some of the singers people on here said are the "best", I might think are among the "worst." And some of the singers people on here said are the "worst", I might think are among the "best."
Personally Kirk Cobain used to be my favorite singer (and is still one of my top 30 favorite singers), but it's not because he's skilled at singing. I just like the way he sloppily sings like he doesn't care about anything. In Utero is my favorite Nirvana album and my 2 favorite tracks on there are Milk It and Scentless Apprentice. Those are some of the rawest Nirvana tracks and I just love the rawness. But I wouldn't say "Wow. Listen to those vocals on Milk It. He's such a skilled singer." I would, instead, say, "Listen to Milk It. This song rocks so hard."
