Yes. Strip away all the tech stuff. No overdubs. No autotune. No fancy processing, and the talent will always reveal itself. Good OR bad.
I can't stand the group Train. I seriously dislike their songs. But their lead singer can SING. I've listened to him sing on a couple of shows, singing other people's songs, and he really does have a good voice. Even a great voice can't make up for poor songwriting.
Then there's people like Neil Young. Most people would say he's a bad singer. But his songs are magic for the most part. Musically quite good, even with him croaking out the lyrics. His music shines through.
I'm not particularly impressed with Bruce Springsteen's vocal prowess. But the songs are great. You can feel the lyrics as they are delivered. You don't have to have a perfect singing voice to be a great singer.
