Outside of selling millions of records, netting a few Grammy Awards and being two of the most recognizable names in the music business, Mariah Carey and Sean "Diddy" Combs has something else in common; they are considered some of the "worst" of the worst.

According to published reports, the 'Vision of Love' singer was named the worst singer of all times by British entertainment magazine 'The Word.' The multi-platinum selling pop diva is described as "clearly the worst thing to happen to popular music ... All technique, gallons of surgery gloop, and not an atom of soul anywhere."

Ouch!!!

Meanwhile, Diddy made Retrocrush's list for "100 Worst Cover Songs of All Time." His reworking of Led Zeppelin's classic 'Kashmir,' which he used for his single titled 'Come With Me' drew ire from the popular pop culture website.

"Admittedly it's not a full remake of Kashmir, but Puff Daddy goes beyond his typical uninspired mumblings on top of classic song beats and actually convinced Jimmy Page to play all new guitar on this mess," the site noted. "Fitting that it was on the soundtrack for the American 'Godzilla' remake, cause just like that movie, this just takes something that was really really cool and ends up being hollow and silly."

Others making the first part of the offbeat list (which collects YouTube videoclips to accompany the commentary) include Paris Hilton, the Pussycat Dolls and even Whitney Houston (for her record-breaking version of Dolly Parton's 'I Will Always Love You').

Hmmmm.
