Why Are Some People So Bad at Singing?

The video explores the concept of tone deafness, distinguishing between singing off-key and true tone deafness, known as congenital amusia. It highlights music's importance in human culture and bonding. Congenital amusia affects a small percentage of the population and is linked to genetic factors and brain differences, particularly in the right inferior frontal gyrus. The video also discusses various reasons for poor singing that are not related to tone deafness, such as issues with pitch reproduction, larynx control, and musical memory.
