Not true. He's got incredible vocal talent, as do they. Back in the day he was arguably a far superior singer to John Lennon, Roger Daltry and Mick Jagger. I'd say out of that time-frame only Robert Plant would rival him, maybe Bowie.
As for Houston and Carey, people wonder why American Idol contenstants have such a hard time singing their songs, when it's patently obvious that just as you said, Whitney Houston and Maria Carey are in an entirely different stratosphere all together. The average wannabe can't hope to compare, so I don't know why 99.9% of the AI contestants even bother trying to attempt their songs.
