Well it IS a curious fact... though it's more about the morphology of the skull than anything else (resonance and whatnot).
The fact of the matter is, black people tend to sing better.
I think this is more of a point of opinion, based on qualitative tastes. 
I was speaking in technical terms. They don't necessarily pick the best songs to sing.
again, a matter of taste (opinion is funny like that
). and by "technical terms", what aspects, specifically, are you referring to? Range? I don't know of any male singer with more range than Rob Halford or Geoff Tate; melody/harmony? this goes right back to taste/perception (also, are
really referring to
all singers, or just ones that are easily accessible via pop-culture?).
also, I'm sure that you are going by "popular" music -- in this context, black musicians tend to get more exposure (by contrast, opera singers typically don't get much press, and are therefor largely unknown -- though, AFAIK, most of them are white). I'm sure that in your personal experience that this assumption may be true (at least from a particular perspective); but making such a sweeping statement about ALL singers indicates to me that either a) your experience with music is limited to certain genres, or b) you are confusing fact with opinion (and vise-versa).
just an observation.
not trying to derail the thread, so I'll leave it alone at this point.
