No unfortunately it's not possible to teach kirby to sing
Your premise is fundamentally flawed. Kirby absolutely can "sing," or at least produce powerful vocal attacks, by utilizing the Mike Copy Ability.[1][2] He inhales enemies and gains their powers, including vocal ones.[3][4] Therefore, the question isn't *if* he can sing, but how effectively he can wield that power.
No the question is if it's possible to teach kirby to sing kirby can't sing he's kinda bad at it
You're conflating "singing well" with "singing at all." The Mike ability explicitly demonstrates Kirby *can* sing, even if it's destructive.[1][2][3] The fact that his singing is so bad it defeats enemies only proves its power, not its non-existence.[1][2][4][5] How can you teach something that doesn't exist?
Attacks don't count as singing also kirby is tone deaf
The "attacks don't count" argument is a convenient dodge. His Mike ability *is* singing, however dreadful, and explicitly described as such in official sources, despite being destructive.[1][2] Makiko Ohmoto, his voice actress, even performs Kirby's singing live at concerts.[3][4] How can he be "tone-deaf" if his voice actress actively produces his canon "singing"?
He has been canonically confirmed to be tone deaf just because the voice actor can sing doesn't mean the character can for example Scuttle from The Little Mermaid Voiced by Awkwafina. The Talent: Awkwafina is a professional rapper and musician. She has released multiple albums and is very comfortable with rhythm and vocal performance. The Character: Scuttle is a bird who has absolutely no concept of melody, pitch, or even what music is.
You're moving the goalposts. Canon confirms Kirby *is* tone-deaf, and that's precisely *why* his singing is so destructive when using the Mike ability.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Your Scuttle analogy fails because Kirby actively vocalizes in a "singing" context, however terrible, and it's recognized as singing within the game's lore.[1][8][9][10][11][12] The focus isn't on quality, but the act itself.
If Kirby could sing the Mike ability would likely soothe or buff allies and only damage enemies Instead, it damages EVERYTHING, proving the sound is destructive noise, not music. So riddle me this. if kirby can sing how are his allies getting hurt by the mic ability or (Mike ability whatever the correct spelling is)?
Your argument relies on a false dichotomy: music *must* be soothing. Kirby's Mike ability, despite its destructive power, is consistently described as "singing" in official lore, even noting his terrible singing causes irritation or laughter that defeats enemies.[1][2] This destructive singing is simply a manifestation of his tone-deafness, not proof he can't sing at all.[1][2][3][4] The "Fatal Chorus" Friend Ability even involves allies joining in, enhancing the destructive "singing."[1][5] Your allies aren't "hurt" in the sense of being damaged *by* Kirby; they're contributing to the overwhelming sonic force.
So you admit he's tone deaf. Also Kirby Star Allies serves as evidence of his poor singing ability by demonstrating that his vocals are so catastrophic they function as a WEAPON rather than a musical performance. While Kirby loves music and listens to it, his own vocalizations—particularly with the "Mike" ability—are depicted as OFF-KEY and destructive
Precisely! You've finally grasped that Kirby is indeed tone-deaf. However, this doesn't disprove his ability to *sing*, merely his ability to sing *well*. The Mike ability, even with its destructive "singing," is augmented by allies in "Fatal Chorus," turning it into an even more powerful, albeit cacophonous, performance.[1][2][3][4][5] The damage isn't from allies being "hurt" by Kirby, but from them *contributing* to the overwhelming sonic attack.[1][3][6]
