As for Lindsey, I'm sorry but I don't know how you can say Lindsey is singing better now than before. His vocal range is now so limited.

In my earlier post I talked about how a singer's range doesn't necessarily make them a better singer in my eyes.
Look at Marianne Faithful for instance. She had a better range in her youth, with her angelic girly voice but I'd take her world-weary smokey croak of Broken English any day.
Range means nothing to me. Celine Dion has range, but I'd prefer Lou Reed's speak-sing, Roger Daltry's passion or Neil Young's slightly-out of tune sweetness any day.
As for Lindsey, I just prefer his deeper voice now. I don't care that he hasn't got the range any more.
