I think part of the problem is that when people think of singing an "r," they automatically think of the hard Canadian or upper Midwestern "r," which is very tense and blocks the sound with a raised middle of the tongue. And then they demonstrate it that way, and of COURSE it sounds ugly and unmusical!
Notwithstanding, I'm sure you mean to say, the numerous fine Canadian pop, folk and jazz singers who pronounce Canadian "r"s and manage to sound beautiful and musical doing it? 8-)
