Talent is a BS word IMO. You can say Adele is a talented singer. Sure... but maybe she was not naturally talented but spent 10 years tuning his voice to where it is now. So is she talented or a hard worker? Who knows? Anyways saying that someone is naturally talented is same as saying "it's so much easier for you to be good than it is for most people" so in a way it is not a compliment.
And what is this talent? Goodness? Because think about Dave Grohl... the guy played drums on Nevermind and never took a drum lesson. His technique sucks and he knows it but he made millions playing drums so everyone knows they have nothing to say. Then he gives up drums and starts singing and playing guitar. Once again not the best guitar player nor the best vocalist. Now he's the front man of the world's biggest rock band Foo Fighters. Could you say he is talented? Or is he a hard worker?
My point is: music, greatness, talent etc. can not be measured.
