If he has a great vocals it's not because of the mic. I can pick up a POS student French horn and play a Mahler concert and still sound good. That doesn't mean that Parot is a decent instrument. By the same token, once the engineer has the tracks all bets are off as to what he sounded like originally.

The TLM103 is a great mic but so is a Shure 58. If the engineer knows what s/he is doing then either will produce fabulous results.

While I agree with most of what is said above, it's still rational to start looking at mics that were used on recordings you like. On the other hand, its not good to presume that mics displayed in artfully staged photographs were actually used in the recording. You can bet the mic in the photo is the coolest looking mic available. Can't assume much more.
