Some people would say its not your problem. Others would say find the the weak spot (its either tonality, texture, or passion/delivery) and fix it.

I would say become a vocal coach. almost anyone can sing. Find one note thay can sing and make them stay on it, and create movement with the accompanyment. Tell them to sing like they will die in 5 minutes - the last sound they will ever make. Sinatra had questionable tonality, mose allison has whitebread texture, and madonna had no passion (imo of course). It didn't stop them. The huge mistake is to think you can fix it with gear. Yes, a pitch correction can rescue the song, the blood and guts passion can transcend that. Only give up if they don't mean it.

At that point, you say - "GREAT TAKE! We're done now. What's your address, I'll email you the mix. man, you rock! Did you bring your checkbook? What's your myspace page?"
