Apart from the hygiene aspects, why do so many singers have their mouths right
up against the microphones when they sing?
1. Because they are unskilled and have not learned proper microphone technique.
2. Because they are used to using horrible PA systems that are being run on
the edge of feedback and need all the gain they can get.
In general, not a sign of a competent vocalist, but some people just won't
stop eating the microphone. A good solution for microphone-eaters is to
give them a fake microphone to sing into and then a narrow pattern mike
six inches away to actually use.

3. They want to hide that they're lip syncing.
