It is easy to confuse technique with artistry. I'm not saying Salvant does not have technique! Here's a glaring contemporary example: Lady Gaga and the great Tony Bennett. I'm sure a lot of people consider Lady Gaga to be a good singer, but she is horrible in this version of "Cheek to Cheek" and destroys the song with her operatic delivery and lack of "swing". It is comical, but in fact sad to see that in his old age Bennett does not have the lucidity to avoid being involved in this. However much I like Lady Gaga, she should back off and show more respect.. Bennett doesn't have much of his voice left, but he clearly can still swing. Gaga,not so much. She can sing, but doesn't know how to sing this. She shouldn't be singing this material. It's ironic, as the band can swing quite nicely.

Are they inducted purely on the subjectivity of the 38 individuals who vote, or do they have some guiding principles, dare I say absolutes in determining who gets inducted? It's just a way to generate tourism dollars and another avenue for promotion and marketing. Zero connection to "Art". Just like every other "Hall of Fame". As always, follow the money.

Their art wasn’t better or worse than other art. I'd say any artist who impacted many people over a long period of time can be said to be "better" than someone who didn't. Say, compared to "one hit wonders" where almost no one remembers them or their song.
