The greatest. The kids on Idol should shut up and listen to Mr. S for a couple of weeks and learn how to sing. Vocal gymnastics does not equal singing. Mr. Sinatra could make one note so rich and so deep you could get lost in it. His singing was art, creativity and musicianship. Besides the fact he chose the great songs to sing. That's something else that would help the kids on Idol. They needed more Diane Warren songs to sing and fewer by most of the other songwriters who were featured. (BTW I have wathed IDOL most weeks but admit to losing interest after the eye candy---blonde Kim and Carmen---were voted off the island.)

Basically

Sinatra's natural talent matured, his first few recordings, while extremely good (All Or Nohting At All...that era) did not compare with the incredible artistry of later years.

Clay Aiken has a superb voice which can be trained, most singers lack the basis that he has in such abundance.
