Is it possible to learn to sing well?

Q: Hello Per, is it possible for someone who can't really sing that well to achieve a great singing voice?

A: Is it possible for someone who doesn't play tennis well to achieve a great tennis playing ability?  It depends on why the person doesn't play tennis well, doesn't it? It also depends on how we define "great".  If you have never played tennis we wouldn't assume you would be a great tennis player already, would we?  On the other hand, if you have engaged in similar activities and are in good shape and have good motor skills, coordination and awareness of body and mind, you'll probably learn to play tennis easier. How great you become depends on how you practice, how much and effectively you practice, your attitude when you practice, who you pick to teach , and many more factors. It's funny that people think learning to sing well would be different from any other skill. The difference is that,in my humble opinion, achieving a decent singing voice is far easier than becoming good at tennis.
