There was a case (oh, maybe mid-20th century) of a very wealthy woman who would pay to put on her own vocal concerts in places like Carnegie Hall. I wish I could remember the name. She wasn't tone deaf, but she had the most painfully slow vibrato imaginable. Not even vibrato so much as just slowly oscillating between two notes. There are recordings out there - very entertaining.

Why would you tell her? Let her enjoy herself. There's no reason to be cruel.

So you let her continue to embarrass herself? How mean is that?

Is it okay not to tell her?

If she's not trying to pursue it professionally - what does it matter? If she doesn't seem to notice that other people don't appreciate her singing - then why not just let her remain happy?

If she's not embarrassed, why would you want to embarrass her?

Because that's the only thing impressing your opinion on her would do - embarrass her. Is there any good reason to make somebody you care about feel that way? Clearly, she's perfectly happy singing and not embarrassed, as it is.

Unless she's trying to make it a career, why be a jerk?

Letting her sing is cruel to those around her.
