[video allegedly of random strangers in the street singing]
Two of these were outstanding! Don't know whether setup or genuine.
My money's on genuine (though maybe not in genuine proportions, i.e. the person making the video might have used some clips but not others). There's a big difference in singing between someone who can sing to any extent and the large majority of people. Someone I used to work with refused to do karaoke. The reason why was that they could sing and didn't want to make everyone else look bad. The reasonableness of their decision became abundantly clear when they did sing at a karaoke thing. Dropping a sober pro footballer into a bunch of drunks having a laugh incompetently kicking a ball around and pretending it's football doesn't work. Both can be fun, but they're incompatible.
looks like the two obviously practiced/trained singers (that are in the thumbnail) were recorded in the same train/tube? station, that's a bit of a coincidence
e:actually, maybe not the same place!
