Query: A singer who croaks his way through the music

I have nothing against cross-over recordings. In fact, many of such recordings have given me and my family much pleasure in the past.Unfortunately, this does not apply to this album by Russell Watson. My chief objection is in the singing, which is inadequate. Watson virtually croaks his way through the music, destroying the musical phrase and glossing over things that make such music great. As a result, he destroys the pieces that he sings, presenting them in a way that is only fit for consumption in the karaoke lounge.I don't think I can recommend this album to anyone.
