"....good enough to sing along"
You seem to be maintaining your position of deliberately distorting what people are saying to give the impression of making a point Richard - you did say you were a member of the legal profession, didn't you?
None of this has anything whatever to do with being "good", bad or indifferent
Wholesale joining in on any song (apparently, not even out of bad mannered insensitivity, but rather, on principle, by your argument) interferes with an individual singer achieving and passing on his or her interpretation of a song - it is oppressive imposition of the worst kind - art by dictatorship.
I keep getting a mental picture of your walking up to DaVinci and saying., "'Ere Leo, wouldn't she look better in a flowery frock - lend us your pallette and brushes".
Your continued dishonesty demeans you.
