What I've found of many pop singers is that they'll
use various techniques in different songs and
in different parts of songs. This is relevant for
the following: Tom Jones. If you ever get a chance
to hear his duet with Pavarotti singing Delilah,
he really does maintain the rich resonance throughout
his range that an operatic tenor would. I don't
think he always sings like that, though.
Roy Orbison had a semi-operatic style, but his
head voice was a little thinner in timbre than
a clasically trained singer. He also had fairly
irregular breath control, but it all worked together
to be incredibly beautiful to most listeners.
I don't know why Frank Sinatra is continuously
mentioned as a classical singer. I'll probably
get shot for saying this, but I think a lot of
his style was essentially speaking in tone.
This is not a criticism, just an observation.
