Hi,
I think I got from several posts here the idea that a person cannot put the article "the" in the place indicated then choose to put the name right after, but I think I saw more than enough cases where this has occurred. Is that mean it is OK?
.. while the romantic tenor John Hudson sings ...

Hi,
Sorry for not asking the question accurately.
Can you please tell me whether they are acceptable grammatical practices?? I thnhk i am seeing a lot of them being written like that.
e.g.
the romatic tenor John Hudson (without the phrase "who is named")

"who is named" it's BAD ENGLISH to use it here
it was given to you by CJ only as a clarification
Not sure what you're asking. The original sentence was OK:
.. while the romantic tenor John Hudson sings ...
