But when it comes to soulful delivery, tone, range, you name it.....EM smokes BS when it comes to pipes.
I am not going to get into a pissing match with you over these two singers. Bruce IS a much better songwriter, a Helluva lot more soulful(when the song requires it), and lyrically superior. Oh yeah, and 1000 times the showman, the best ever in many minds. There's a reason one plays Giants Stadium for a 10 night stand, and the other does a one off in a LA bar.
Not grating on Martin, as she is a fine singer, but IMO,
you give these cheesedicks far more superlatives than they actually earn.
If you'd have read the last couple album reviews in this thread, it's not just me. But IMO they've easily earned the superlatives. Pardon me, if I enjoyed reading the reviews of people that
actually bought the album and have listened to it at least a few times. 
But hey, it's all good, we like what we like! And MB are sooooo damn good live, I've almost been talked into coming down for another Cali show in August. Mind you, it's very easily done, my arm tends to turn to rubber when twisted to hit an MB (or JSS) show.
Haha, I noticed you skirted the issue of venue size, song charting and excellence.
Because the first two don't factor into how I choose my music at all. The third does, and they have it in spades. Hell name me another band talented enough that every band member can play every other band members instruments.....ok except Billy on drums.
But whatever, I like their playing, E's vocals, their song catalogue and killer harmonies and that's that. And actually, from a strictly selfish fan point of view I would
much rather see MB in a small club than in Giant stadium. So I ain't complaining at all. If you ask me they've got the best of both worlds, selling out arenas overseas, and playing smaller/midsize venues in US. Very few rock acts are selling out arenas in the US nowadays, it's mainly pop, but for the ones that are like U2, Bon Jovi, good for them, but it's of no matter to me.
And song charting? Come on, you're not that stupid, even you know having a radio hit doesn't make it a GREAT song. i.e., Willow Smith's - I Whip My Hair Back And Forth.
And whether it's MB, Journey, Bon Jovi, even Springsteen..........9 times out of 10 it's the deeper cuts not the radio hits that I enjoy the most.
Great emotional delivery, hell, I'm damn near as spent as he is by the end of the song. 
Hey did you watch that 
Duh, of course it does.
