My boyfriend is the leader of the band which I sang in, but recently he removed me from the position of vocalist, because from a certain moment my diction became very bad and I can't pronounce all words properly. I think he is wrong and diction is not the main thing. What do you think? It's his idea to create a poll. He said that if the result was in my favour, he would consider it.

I think it has a lot to do with how important the meaning of the lyric is. For instance I like to listen to music from the Cape Verde islands, where the language is quite a polyglot of Spanish Italian Portuguese and some African. I do understand most of it yet I find it preciously beautiful on the other hand if the precision of the lyric is important then perhaps dressing diction is a good idea
