TSO don't really have any stand out singers but they have packed out shows each and every year. Is it the singer or the song that makes a great show?
That aside, your shortsightedness of the potential TDE could do for Steinman in general is kinda staggering. With a rotation of lead singers and guest singers the possibilities are almost endless. Vision and the ability to manage was TDE's downfall not the singers.
