I think the definition of a karaoke singer here is very specific. If she is singing a song that she didn't write, then it's technically karaoke. In essence she's 'covering' nao'ymt's song simply because she doesn't have writing credits, whether the song never existed before it has been out for years. It's the exact same with Rihanna. Diamonds is Sia's song as much as fight together is nao'ymt's song. The artists just provide vocals (even if they're vocal opinion) aka karaoke.
I think that this definition of karaoke singer should be avoided because then a lot of artists could immediately be labeled them and then the idea of a karaoke singer will be stigmatized.
