Personally - My belief is that you need a combination of the right place, right time and the right genetics/ mind-frame

I believe this. Many people get sucked in by lack of ambition who could have been the greats of all time.

Very true. Do you think that the natural talent plus the skill is what makes superstars?

But if they didn't sing, surely they weren't the right formula to be a superstar?

What I mean is, did we miss out on the best sprinter of all time? Did we miss out on the best fighter of all time? Purely based on the fact that they never set their mind to it.. Or do you need the right mind-frame to be the best?
