It's easier to sing in tune when you're singing along with other people. You may be able to really rock out to a song on the radio, but singing it karaoke is a different matter. Your brain is "correcting" or melding the different notes you hear into the note you expect to hear.
Altogether, they generally hit the note your ears want to hear. In every crowd there is a segment of good singers who zero in on the pitch from the music, a segment that can sing in pitch when others around them find it first, and a segment of asswipes who either get drowned out or have the good sense not to try.

Plus most people can hit the basic notes, so if someone else covers the scratchy part of your singing then your singing doesn't sound like complete crap.
The more voices added, the more it covers up the pitfalls. Originally Posted by irishtexan. Because you're stoned at a concert, so everything sounds great? Originally Posted by fortyakers.

In concerts, when the audience sing, it sounds almost okay; not out of tune as if they sing all harmonious. However, if a small group of people sing, we can notice the off-tune singing.
Is it simply related to the average value of the sound waves or does it have a special name? I hope I made myself clear with the question. Firstly , most people have some awareness of their singing competence, and in the average population there are a fair number of reasonable singers even if they have bad voices or limited range.
In particular, most people can sing tolerably in relative pitch over a small range of notes that is, they know whether the pitch needs to go up or down, and by roughly how far relative to other notes in a sequence. In a large crowd, good singers are likely to belt out the notes in the manner expected, whereas inveterate poor singers are more likely than not to moderate their output or even stop singing altogether when they do not believe they are subject to attention.
There was a famous case in the 90s of a politician here in the UK, John Redwood, choosing to mime the words of a Welsh song that he did not know - but because of his individual prominence, he was broadcast on TV anyway gawping like a fish gasping for air. In a small singing group or if you're a prominent individual in a large group , this is a less feasible strategy, since all participants will be expected to contribute and be heard even if what is heard is discordant , and all participants usually can be clearly heard as individuals.
So sometimes extremely poor singers, or even momentary mistakes by good ones, will be heard clearly in small groups. Secondly , there is no systematic bias amongst poor singers. That is, they are on average neither consistently above the correct note nor below. Poor singers are likely to vary the pitch of a sustained note that is, sing what should be one sustained note as a fluctuating series of variations around the correct note , they are likely to mis-time transitions, they are likely to sing wrong notes both above and below the correct note, and they are likely to change key unpredictably i.
But taken as a whole in the crowd, these errors are unsystematic and will either be heard either simply as noise and muddiness without a distinct character, or will be heard as pleasant and concordant harmonics which add richness or as acceptable variations in chromatic approach notes, which receive less attention from listeners.
