Are you the sort of person who says they're right according to their personal tastes, or do you know the difference between you're personal tastes and the actual truth?

Say , for example, you like dino morea the best(for whatever godamn reason that may be 😆 ) and arent willing to admit that aamir or shahrukh or irfan khan arent the best, and feel that dino is the best. Okay, lets be a bit more plausible and go with ajay devgan instead, shall we? 😛

Or are you the kind who likes aatif aslam the best but acknowledges that he isnt even close to singers like kk, shaan,sonu nigam, mohit chauhan etc?

Sometimes you being correct may concide with personal tastes.. example my favourite actors are shahrukh, aamir etc so if I say they're the best then someone might accuse me of playing to my favourites lol..

The third type is a trait that can be occur in both the previous cases.

It depends and when things are very subjective then it is more of a personal taste.

However even with some subjective things like the quality of a song there are many not so subjective parameters as well, such as tonal quality , etc.

But what if many things are subjective and still people are technically right?

Ah this is a rather complicated situation. I must admit I judge based on personal liking and not as an expert.
I think unless we are an expert in the particular field most of our judgement will be based on personal preferences and bias.
For eg. we may like a certain singer because of her looks or dancing style etc eventhough she may be an average singer. In the singing of modern songs the tune and music accompaniment can make all the difference. Some even use voice synthesizers.

Actually we dont know if there is something like an absolute truth or its just relative.

We may determine what is technically right using just our senses, like eye sight, and logic, void of any subjective opinion. But our senses could be limited.

Ok, assuming we have sound logic , hence deep down we know we're wrong yet we feel like sometimes going with our taste.. why is that? is it pride?

yes Art is generally subjective and these days much art is abstract too.

LOL.. you just had to bring in Atif.. didnt you..😆😆.. well IMO i think Atif is the best singer i have heard.. along with Mahit Chauhan.. infact i think he is one of the best singers of all time.. but that doesnt mean what i am saying is a clear cut fact.. that is just my opinion.. and i am not going to push that opinion on to you or anyone else.. cuz i just dont care abt what others think abt my tastes.. 😛😛

and the highlighted part of yours above is just an opinion not a fact.. this is a very subjective area.. you cant expect everyone to have the same taste in music..😳
