will people ever leave songs alone?

I am not a musician but i am one hell of a singer
I used to sing at weddings, parties, choirs,
ect.
my biggest pet peeve is not people who struggle at singing but those who refuse to sing a song in it's entirety
or change the lyrics to suit themselves.
its OK to embellish a little either tempo, tone or timbre as long as it enhances the music.
BUT lyrics are sacred territory and should never be changed by anyone except by the original author
I have heard many people with fabulous voices ruin the experience of a song by leaving out parts or changing lyrics entirely
to me thats a crime
