Sounds as unlistenable as all rap garbage.
What about that obese, middle-aged rocker chick from Chicago, who paid $85+ to get out of a limo wearing a fur coat?

So bad that it's gone past good and back to bad again.

^That's her. I didn't remember the name. Sad thing is she appears to be dead serious, so I have to wonder if she's not mentally handicapped.

A live performance from the undisputed king (The Legendary Stardust Cowboy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ood0jv9Lng
The one-two punch of the most entertaining 45 rpm ever released..."Who's Knockin' On My Door/Paralyzed"...the latter co-produced by John Henry Barnett (AKA T-Bone, who also plays drums on the track):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRUNtWL3Fgc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EEZAivzl1Q
50-some years later, the horn "solo" in the middle never fails to crack me up. My brother & I wore out the single (or my dad broke it...can't remember which).
Check out other Stardust tracks on Youtube, including his cover of Bowie's "Space Oddity" (or, as a guy on the recording calls it, "Ground Control"). Also recommended: "Relaxation" + "I Ride a Tractor."
The guy's a genius.

^ They can't sing, they can't dance, their timing of the words is off, and the lyrics sound as if they were poorly translated into English from their original language.

I suspect she wasn't serious with her music and appearances the last few years knowing that she was made popular by the internet making fun of her music. But I'm sure she was 100% serious originally in the 80s.

Took me a few minutes to realize why the music/beat of the song sounded so familiar. It was a ripoff of the Spice Girls "Say You'll Be There". I guess they weren't hiding that fact when someone as anti-Top40 as me could easily recognize it.

There's actually a reason I was aware of this video. I help out at a lot of local film festivals. I was working the LGBT festival, and we showed the film Pedro, the biopic of MTV Real World cast member and AIDS activist Pedro Zamora. The two girls in that video were in the movie, playing Real World San Francisco cast members Rachel and Pam. The cast of the film were at the screening, and we all partied together later.
I stayed in touch with the Asian actress, and invited her to attend the Asian Film Festival later that year. She came down, and was my date for our gala awards ceremony and banquet. Of course, when I picked her up at her hotel, she said, "wait, I have to call my boyfriend first". The night went downhill from there, although the photographers were all taking pictures of us. I'm a good looking guy, but not THAT good-looking. It was clear they wanted pictures of the hot Asian with the plunging neckline and aftermarket boobs. She ended up running into other industry people she knew, and ditched me for them. Which was fine with me, I hung out with my other film festival friends till it was time to take her back to her hotel room. I felt my obligation was over at this point, and proceeded to hit the after parties with my other friends. Except for some reason, she kept showing up at the parties. Not seeking me, of course, she just happened to keep showing up like a bad penny.
After the event, I thanked her for attending, and we haven't talked since.

As far as bands/singers that most people take seriously, a laughably bad one for me is Linkin Park and their "singer" Chester. He is one of the worst successful singers out there.

Re: The most laughably bad musical acts/singers ever
Besides the obvious (Color Me Badd, Milli Vanilli, Vanilla Ice, Rico Suave, etc), what are some other lesser known acts/singers that you think are equally bad and laughable? I'd like to nominate Army of Lovers. Who clearly tried to ride on Dead or Alive's (Pete Burns) skirt tails:

Without Army of Lovers though, we wouldn't have this, which I LOVE:

I always thought this song was cringe-worthy, and it perfectly illustrates the fact that being able to play guitar and being able to write songs are two completely different skill sets:

She's not a bad singer per se, but yeah, the lyrics she's singing along with the melody just doesn't fit the song at all. Doesn't fit the musical style, nor the meaning. But if you had her singing in a bubblegum 80s pop band, she'd be fine.
