Michael Jackson is my first and biggest pet peeve.😀
Lots of very famous people don't have classic, great voices, from Dylan to Leonard Cohen. Taylor Swift has limitations, but her voice works for her material.
But some people--Neil Young?--make me shudder. Nails on a blackboard.
My husband can't stand Dylan's voice. If any Dylan song comes on, he changes it as quickly as possible!
Never thought about Michael Jackson, but I could see where his voice might not work for people. It's so much about the songs themselves and not the voice.
I have a friend who is all about vocal pyrotechnics. He likes great voices, can't stand ordinary. He doesn't get why anybody would like a singer if they can't hit high notes or show power. 😃
I listen to "Blank space." What a great song. Funny, well performed, great melody, lyrics. Don't need power
Her voice is so overprocessed on all of her songs, that I honestly don't even know if I know what it sounds like. I can't recall ever hearing her sing live to know if she can even sing.

A stunning near-operatic voice otoh doesn't guarantee that you'll like the music.
