Perk: Singing based on IQ

I still think that for artists like Bob Dylan, Wierd Al, and many rappers, that an IQ based Singing skill is more appropriate than just using Performance. Looking at the description of both skills, Singing is the "ability to sing in a pleasing fashion" and Performance is "the ability to act on a stage or screen." What Dylan does seems to fit the definition of of Singing more than Performance. Also, there are many actors out there with a high Performing skill, but little ability to sing. Poetry could also be used, but that should be for composing material, not performing it. It seems a perk to base Singing on IQ or perhaps a perk to substitute Performance for Singing would make a lot of sense for those cases.
