We could disagree all day, of course, about who is a better singer but I don't think Randy's comments revealed any agenda. Not in the way you meant it anyway.


When I was listening to Sy's version of ACIGC I heard a lot of breathy spoken flat notes. I agree 100% w/ Randy. It was just ok.


(BTW, that seems to me to be one of the most common "faults" with AI singers - they have the most trouble it seems with lower register notes and quieter passages of songs. It often comes out sounding "spoken" and not "sung." When Sam Cooke sang, boy, every note was sweet like a bird singing. Though, I will admit that by the time he recorded this, his voice seems to have lost a little of its original lustre.)
