elise,

in some ways, i can agree with you but, they all have had different
things to offer and for the most part (except for the last real 'hurrah' of
sinatra) have been succesful in doing what they wanted. the singer who
impressed me more than these three in having the ability to do whatever she
wanted whenever she wanted, was ella fitzgerald.
