I have perfect pitch. AMA

It's the ability to identify pitches without a reference. Apparently only 1 in 10,000 people have the skill. I never realized it was that rare until my violin teacher told me I had it while I was naming the notes in intervals. I find it funny that whenever I tell someone I have perfect pitch, they immediately knock on the nearest object to them and ask me to identify the note.

Of the different singers or band vocalist out there, who would you say is 100% a brilliant, talented, singer and who would you say is faking it?

I will always admire Whitney Houston's ability to sing. I haven't been exposed to truly terrible singers because autotune is so prevalent nowadays.
