"Perfect singers"
God forbid - it's the imperfections and idiosyncrasies of singing (traditional at least) that make it interesting, and the search for unattainable perfection that makes it come alive.
Then again, we might be able to get computers to sing perfectly - but it wouldn't be the same, would it?
Perfection is in the ear of the listener and "we can't please all of the people all of the time" as somebody once said.
Personally, there are few of the singers that have been offered up here that I would walk to King Georges Park to listen to if they were giving a year of free concerts - Dick Greenhaus's and Sandy Paton's maybe.
