We had this exact same conversation regarding Corey Cott's acting in another thread. There are objective ways to evaluate talent. When it comes to singing and acting, there ARE certain qualities that are considered good and bad. That isn't to say that there aren't many different kinds of good actors and singers; of course there is a spectrum. I would never say that Kristin Chenoweth and Madeline Kahn are similar types of singers. Is Madeline Kahn a bad singer? NO! But when you look at the type of singer that Kristin is, she has a TECHNICAL ABILITY and command of certain musical aspects that Madeline Kahn didn't have. And in that sense, she is a better singer. I think people get their panties in a twist when someone says person A is better than person B. That's not saying that person B can't be enjoyed! It just means that from a technical aspect, person A has a better command of the skills. And if you ask any music teacher, they will agree with that. There are ways to evaluate if someone is singing correctly, Sorry if you disagree, but those are the facts.

Haha, so now YOUR opinion is the only one that matters? "End of story." Oh, ok. But in all seriousness, you have to be delusional to truly believe that. So if I say "Kristin Chenoweth is a better singer than Bill Gates" that's just an opinion? There's no fact there at all? REALLY? I'm going to let you think about that for a bit.
