Hi Peter
Sorry for the late reply and thank you for the advice and detailed answer.
I ended up having a problem or lack of understanding regarding Reaper which I use.Reaper has 5 pan modes and the default mode is not the correct mode when using stereo tracks and when I got the panning issue sorted out it cleared a path for the vocals.

I then did what you suggested here which I had done before but I rethought my process when it came to reverb and I put two dedicated reverb tracks for the mid and for the side .I also panned the reverb send left or right according to how I panned their original track so I could get the reverb out of the way of the vocal and increase the side information without decreasing the vocal.

"Then individually on each track preferably as a "Send" (not inside the track itself)- if needed
Add Effects (Modulation, Distortion...carefully, Filtering act)
Add Delay
Add Reverb - use an EQ and cut out all below 300Hz and Above 4000 Hz before the Reverb Plugin/Device otherwise you'll find it very hard to control you low- and high end(Less is more...) Use a reverb with PreDelay especially for vocals to postpone the reverb effect slightly, as it gives more clarity to your vocal."

I also use more compression on the vocal which added an extra few percent.I hope to post a an Mp3 as suggested by Sundance for you guys to listen too soon
Thanks for the help
