How to do this, that and the other. Share, learn, teach. How did X do that? How can I sound like Y?

Probably yeah, but ffs why?

A good vocal performance is not about pitch. Adhering to genre rules?? Ffs why...

Nothing wrong with fixing the odd bit of warble or drift in an otherwise good take.

Anyways, couple of other nice free ones about;

Personally I think a good sounding take is better than a pitch perfect take. Look at someone like Celine Dion - rehearsed inflections and vocal tricks to the point that everything she sings seems cold and soulless. I would far rather listen to the looseness and pitch wavering if someone like Janis Joplin or Robert Plant.

When I record vocals I generally take the best parts from a few takes and rehearse and re-record parts where I don’t find a take that I like. I rarely spend that long trying to perfect vocals as I don’t know that aiming for pitch perfection results in the best sounding performance.

For relatively minor stuff like drifting off note and overly wobbly vibrato, yes. For anything more serious you need to start automating parameters, or do it manually in something like Melodyne (or as I use in FL, Newtone), or do it again!

Anybody having trouble with the plugin crashing at the screen confirming key information? I'm running on Reaper.

I get a bit tired of them adding stereo from mono, that doesn't sound good make stereo from mono for the background music and the only mono should be vocals, and maybe less stereo for the drums.

I'm not a huge fan of melda, but I think their free one is the best one, for a free one anyways. I see Curtiss King do great things with autotune though, that's equally impressive.

Yeah, my recommendation is the freebie version of Melodyne that comes with every other DAW, and use that to fix the parts you can't sing correctly, then use the Melodyned version to practice singing it correctly then re-record.
