quote: ...he doesn't really present himself as a singer...

No one here has suggested that he presents himself as a singer, whatever that means. Our complaint is that he sings more than all the other people on the show combined, regardless of whether or not that constitutes presenting himself as a singer, thereby making it impossible to listen to the show and enjoy the parts of it that are good, and it's especially that he sings while very good singers are performing, thereby ruining their performance with his flaccid singing voice.

The point that you've made in many, many other posts in this thread is clearly understood: you're saying that nothing matters except what sells. If a performer finds an audience, no one can criticize that performer; they can only choose not to listen. It's not necessary for you to keep repeating that like a street-corner evangelist. We get it. You're entitled to that opinion, and I believe it's also held by many very wealthy people who control media outlets, so it's probably not a view that is seriously threatened and in need of your courageous defense.
