Majority of singers ever? Maybe.

Majority of great singers who were able to convey a sense of self and authenticity in their delivery? I don't think so.

Frank Sinatra, Billy Holiday, Pavarotti, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, Tony Bennet, Joe Strummer, the list is endless and so is the variety of styles and approaches ...... but all people who you hear them sing and then hear them talk and you can connect and say yes, I actually heard them singing to me. 

That's what I like and .... in keeping with the topic.... that's what I judge if I hear the opposite.

I'm not saying there aren't exceptions to the rule....I still love late-era Tom Waits in full cookie monster mode for example.

Yep. Except maybe cheesy stage musicals and Simpsons musical episodes, oh and all those overly affected regional accent singers - Arctic Monkeys, Maximo Park, all singers from the greater London area this decade etc.

If you imagine 'your' music is superior to other types
You imagine a series of rapid sweep arpeggios nailed together has anything to do with musical feeling (Malmsteen looking at you, except not, cos I fell asleep at your concert)
You play in a covers band and feel superior to home players because you're 'out there doing it man'
Make Youtube demos with a fucking out of fucking tune fucking guitar, then talk about how dynamic this or that is while demonstrating the touch of a steam hammer.
Mention the word butter in the context of guitars
Pull the blowie face/monkey face/gurn while playing some bit of lead guitar on your own to a camera
Lay hard into the beer before playing the gig

I imagine the irony is lost on you.

Nope, the two things are different. I've nothing against metal as a genre, my roots are there. The second point has zero to do with writing off a genre.

If you are a producer of guitars/guitar products and base all your advertising on slagging off your competitors.

sadly it seems quite common and leads me to assume the people doing it never liked guitars in the first place. I much prefer those who simply focus on what their product brings to the table, and clearly make what they do out of a love of what already existed.   doesn't mean I don't like innovation too, as an alternative to the traditional, not a replacement.
