I didn't listen to it, but I wouldn't say that cheesy and bad are inherently the same thing. They are for me, but that's because of my taste, not the definition of cheese.
I remember reading that there was a conflict between American and European opera singers about whether or not vibrato was desirable or not. Basically Americans liked vibrato and Europeans thought it took away from the purity of technique. Don't know why vibrato won out or if it just won out in America or whatever. But it interested me.
