Some singers appeal emotional to larger group of people and/or wider demographics, cross times and cultural boundaries etc. There ARE singers that jump out at you even if you don't like their songs or genre they sing in. I think true greatness can be recognized universally even if you still prefer to spent most of your listening time to othersOpie Everhttp://www.facebook.com/opie.evernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-78243084184694977292012-10-29T22:40:12.537+00:002012-10-29T22:40:12.537+00:00hahaha I just felt the need to jump in this discus...hahaha I just felt the need to jump in this discussion because I couldn't agree more with what everyone had to say. I usually try to avoid discussions about the "greatest singers" because it's subjective. I guess from a technical standpoint, you could name a great singer above all else, but tone, ability to emote, and other nuances that ppl prefer are solely subjective imo.Mel Rhttp://twitter.com/Melo_R0noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-59730837296886206592012-10-29T14:24:54.785+00:002012-10-29T14:24:54.785+00:00That's okay.
