Why are you surprised
Metal was built on powerful vocalists, even the two you mentioned earlier Halford and Dickinson made their reps based on their powerful vocal chords that lent themselves well to metal. It's fairly obvious that Dio would be held in the same esteem.

What I like is a vocalist who works within the music.
