idk with all the discourse about who's allowed to sing and who not, I feel like a lot of people forgot why humans sing in the first place, where singing comes from culturally...
Especially the Thai culture and fandom reminded me of that you do not have to be a perfect singer to have fun with each other. Singing is originally a fun or emotional activity to share vibes with your group, village, tell stories. (side note: the pagan folk genre is basically also a good witness of the past in that regard)
The whole Thai actor fan meeting and concert habit seems to be a very Thai culture thing just mixed with pop culture and capitalism.
Observing the Thai folks I see at my local yearly Thai festival, they are very similar. They still party hard even if the singer is not that good. They constantly go to the stage to slip the singers some money or gifts, request them to sing certain songs.

Songs:
• Autoclave – The Mountain Goats
And I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam
And no emotion that's worth having could call my heart its home
• Chop Suey! – System of a Down
Father, into your hands I commend my spirit
Father, into your hands
Why have you forsaken me?
• In Your Eyes – Peter Gabriel
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
• Magnum Bullets – Night Runner
Running in shoes that shine
With blood that isn't mine
A stinging trophy of the battles I've survived
• Starlight Brigade – TWRP
When I look up at the sky, what meets my eyes?
Can I just stand by while the world dies?

Some art is about just experiencing something you haven't before. Some art just wants you to sit there for 2 or 20 or 35 or 150 minutes and experience what is happening without a meaning or other purpose beyond the experience itself. By the way. And sometimes the outcome is that you learn how to exist in that state of experiencing, because it forced you into it once and it clicked in your brain, and then in your day to day life you might again access that state of just experiencing. Standing and watching the sunset with the sound of traffic all around you and just experiencing that. Not even necessarily enjoying it, not getting anything more out of it than what it is. Idk.
