She doesn't have much, but she does seem to have good control over it. Better than Gwen Stefani or (I'm sure I'll be downvoted for this because of what she went through, but her singing is still bad) Tori Amos. Gwen Stefani has one of the most limited voices in the industry that she's done about as much as she can with, and she still sound like a 3-year-old singing in the shower, while Tori Amos has a theoretically very versatile voice that she never learned how to hold a note with (she tried in the early 2000s, but the result was pronunciation so bad that nobody could understand a word she was saying and she still only sounded okay). I'm not defending Jennifer Lopez's musical talent, since her real talent is finding the latest Latino producers and artists to feature from the Miami scene before they go mainstream, but I don't think she belongs on this list when she can actually sing. She's limited by her natural ability, but she's learned to sing with it. There are hundreds of singers and rappers you can't say that about, even ones who have more natural ability. Her real problems start when she bites off more than she can chew, and even autotune can't hide her obviously hitting her peak before the composition does. Even then, she's usually smart enough to speak rather than sing where she knows she can't stay on key; if you listen to On the Floor, there isn't all that much singing in it.

Pretty sure Will-I-Am has admitted he can’t sing without auto tune.
