Is "heavy metal, like" designed as a platform for singers who aren't exactly..."good"?

You could argue they arnt singers at all.... same with rap.
Doesnt mean I dont like some heavy and some rap songs.

I tend to like strong vocalists though, so maybe its just me.

But my point is that there is vastly less good singers in this style than any other. Even Rap, where many artists have excellent vocal range and because of their use of it rapping most (who are good at rapping) become or naturally are good singers. Nobody wants to hear an inconsistant rapper whose voice is changing tone every few seconds as with most artists in the "screaming" style.

Very few rappers have that strong vocals.

Alicia Keys, Adele, Katie Melua, Whitney Houston,Hayley Westenra...

How many rappers could go up against any of the above? and come out above? as a vocalist if you set them to singing a non rap song?

 

could you imagine a rapper doing this (live without auto tunner?):

or something like this:
