A great, great artist. Not my favorite tenor of all time, but
undeniably great.

Since opera is not undeniably great, can an opera singer be
undeniably
great?

Yes

Pavarotti aside, the idea that anyone can declare someone undeniably
great is more than a bit arrogant IMO.

Yes, I'm sure.

So was Babe Ruth and (sic) undeniably great home run hitter?

No, he was fat man who faced relatively poor pitching
by todays (sic) standard.
Barry is not undeniably great either.
Claims of undeniability on a subjective matter is to claim
supremacy of opinion.

I see. Well, thanks for your opinion. I believe that there are
undeniably great performers, events, etc.

And you get to select them? How arrogant!

ScottW

Feel free to look up the definitions of "great".

And yes, we ALL get to select them. Most of us feel that the fall of
Hitler was a great event, for example. Pavarotti's ability to sing in
tune, with amazing technique, range, and expressivity is widely
considered to be "great" whether you like the music he sang or not.
