Otherwise I would say, what is the purpose of the laughter? Is it done in a demeaning way? Or is it done because it’s funny? Or something else? I wouldn’t overthink it, you can go down the scrupulous road
I totally laughed at that performance. The only part that wasn’t okay was when one judge said “ye–e–ess” to mock the singer.
Unfortunately, when you perform, you put yourself out for criticism. The singer probably hasn’t paid for even one singing lesson but thinks it’s okay to sing publicly. So let the chips fall where they may. His pitch was all over the place! It was like having a bee buzzing around the melody in place of the melody.
