2. Pierce Brosnan - Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

If you've seen the first Mamma Mia, you'll likely remember that Pierce Brosnan was near-universally savaged by critics and fans alike for his painfully strained "singing", particularly a brutal rendition of ABBA's "S.O.S." that went down in immediate infamy.

And though the critically-acclaimed sequel sensibly pushes Brosnan's crooning to the back of the sound mix for most of the songs, he is given a brief moment to crank out a solemn reprise of "S.O.S."

It's definitely an improvement, but you can practically see Brosnan's vocal cords spasming violently as they try to remain in tune. He's once again the weak link in a surprisingly decent ensemble, even if he's decidedly better-protected this time around.
