With the recent stories about the release of an audio recording of Britney Spears singing without auto-tune, one might imagine getting similar secret recordings for other famous singers. Some folks have put together some funny “shreds,” imagining bad vocals by famous singers. For example, check out how one might image how the Beach Boys sound singing without any audio enhancements (posted on YouTube by coozco).
For the shred of a more recent song, check out SamRick‘s take on One Direction singing “Story of My Life.”
You can find other shredding videos on YouTube for more laughs.
Who would you like to hear without any special effects? Leave your two cents in the comments.

I was all ready to be offended by the Beach Boys shred, but that was funny. There are all kinds of bootlegs and official releases of the Boys singing not only without Autotune, but without the instrumental tracks, that show what amazing vocalists they were. And there are live shows from the 80’s where they just fall apart, no shred needed.
Yeah, I agree that when they are on, they really have incredible vocals. Maybe that’s what makes the shred so funny. Thanks for the comment.
