If you paid money to see a 'singer' billed as the next Diana Ross and all she could do was make a sound not much better than your neighbours cat, you might want your money back; feeling that the word singer was misleading.
No different from someone putting words onto paper and selling the story as a download.
At least who ever hired the singer has a responsibility in this. So unless the self published 'author' is giving their book away for free, who is vetting these books to make sure that they reach a minimum standard.
