Whoever says this is a idiot...That honor goes to Emerson, thats a opinion i will stick with for the rest of my life...Do you play keyboards Don?...Because i do, its the first instrument i have ever learned to play, i have been playing keyboards for 8 years....I have heard Rudess, he is good, and i have heard a sh*tload of his material with DT and The Dregs, but there are still many keyboard players who crush Rudess in not only skill, but in every aspect of greatness as we know it.

Labrie isnt even that good period, hes a horrible vocalist in my opinion, technicaly very average, his range is decent, but his power is weak, and his tone just downright sucks...Its not even worthy naming all the better vocalists, that would take forever.

No surprise i must say.
If you really are a critic then you simply make me dislike music critics even more, especialy when you think you know everything, even more than actual musicians.
Are you a musician?
I am, and so is my brother, a drummer as a matter of fact.
