It wasn't really meant as a 'one's better than the other, both are tremendous power singers...and it's a personal preference.
It was more about the technology.
I'm still not certain where I stand.
It would be great to hear singers of the past doing songs they didn't record while alive.
But there may be ethical issues that need addressing.
Who benefits financially from the singers 'intellectual property'?
The singer has no control over the music...he may have been very resistant to recording a particular song or genre?
Old band members can 'reform' with the deceased on AI, not necessarily a bad thing.
I understand Lennon's voice has been AI'd to some old Beatles material
But do we want a top 40 consisting of Buddy Holly, Elvis, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bowie etc singing new material
(I reckon 80%+ will answer yes)![]()

Implications are also there for actors as the technology advances.
Will we see Marylin Monroe in "Barbie 2"
or
Oppenheimer himself in "Oppenheimer 2"
It's a brave new world :-\
The actors can pretty much be made obsolete with basically current technology. We could have new Brad Pitt movies coming out for the next 300 years.
