We've all been influenced by other people...If Minnie Riperton never existed, would I have even thought of singing in that (upper) register? I doubt it.
A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.
Basically, I started singing when I started talking. Music has just been my saving grace my whole life.
You don't have to be doing vocal acrobatics or singing all over the scale to have soul.
In any big spectacular, it's really difficult to have enough voices to cover all the vocal parts. To give the audience the complete experience they're expecting, there is some reinforcement, some playback that everybody's hearing. Sometimes it's background vocals, but sometimes it will be actually vocal tracks. It's so hard to ensure, with no safety net ... you're not gonna get another shot at it, you have to have stability. I think it's very naïve of a lot of people to think that when you see someone open their mouth, they're really singing.
