Top 5 Best Singer In World

1. Michael Jackson

No one is giving MJ a sympathy vote... Are you crazy? Anyone saying something like that does not know what an amazing range he had, how he could control his voice, or what he could do with it. His vocal range was a 4 octave of a tenor, he had an amazing vibrato and sang across just about every genre of music... It is one of the things he is known for. It's sad that some just don't know enough yet comment or merely dismiss him because he was a fantastic dancer as well and somehow they forget what he was originally known for, which was singing from a very young age with the soul of an experienced adult. The emotion and passion he sang with was so authentic and palpable. I am tired of seeing some people discount him when he was both a fantastic singer as well as dancer. He was the complete package as an artist.

Worst Dressed Celebrities of Bollywood

“Beauty is ten, nine of which is dressing.”

Money and fame cannot buy you a great dressing style and fashion sense and this becomes more evident when you have a look the weird costumes worn by some of our Bollywood celebs. Most of them possess unquestionable beauty and are blessed with exceptional looks, but when it comes to wardrobe they end up wearing boring and understated costumes. Let us have a look at some of the Bollywood celebs who made news with their boring and outdated fashion sense-

Vidya Balan

Vidya Balan

Vidya Balan tops the list of the worst dressed celebrities with her poor sense of fashion and dreadful dressing sense. She was even selected as the worst dressed celebrity in an opinion poll and has been a victim of criticisms from some of the prominent fashion icons and stylists in Bollywood. During one of the Filmfare awards, the Khans who were hosting the show presented Vidya with a mock award for her crazy outfits and lack of fashion sense. Her appearance in movies like Hey Baby and Kismat Connection made it much easier for her to achieve the crown of the worst dressed celebrity! When asked about her infamous style sense, she replied, "Clothes are meant to enhance my character in the film. Earlier such comments use to hurt me but now I have become so use to them that they don't bother me anymore." But, hopefully this 'dirty girl’ is improving her dressing sense nowadays.

Mallika Sherawat

Mallika Sherawat

Mallika, the hot item girl of Bollywood is quite famous for her bold dressing, which ends up in a disaster most of the times!

She secured the first position in the list of ‘worst dressed celebrities of 2009’. She attended the premiere of ‘Inglorious Basterds’ few years before, wearing a revealing and strange looking black outfit which had cuts all over, trying to look sexy and glamorous.

But this image proves that even the definition of beauty can sometimes go wrong with her colour as well as fashion sense and come up with something boring and outdated. But she cannot be rated as someone who makes wrong choices every time as she turns up wearing some of the finest outfits on certain occasions.

Rani Mukherjee

Rani Mukherjee

Rani Mukherjee is not in the limelight any more, but the list goes incomplete if we don’t have a look at the fashion sense this ‘Bubli’ girl carries with her.

Rani is undoubtedly a great performer with unique looks, but a look at her appearance in some of the films like Saawariya, Ta Ra Rum Pum made her the worst dressed actress of the year 2007.Her trashy attire and bad looks (including hairstyle) in these films, especially in Ta Ra Rum Pum is ridiculous.

Govinda

Govinda
