Video it, watch it with him, then e honest and tell him. He’s not only limiting the band but he’s limiting himself. Or Maybe it’s something he can fix. If his writing is great, he’s getting in his own way by not giving the song the justice it deserves. You might get run, but fuck it, why waste your time sucking if your band mate won’t get out of his own way.

Came here to say exactly this. You gotta take video of every gig (even rehearsals if you want). If the problems are as self evident as indicated, it'll be super noticeable.

Browsing this post mostly out of curiosity, but I really like this reply. Dude is tripping over his own feet if the singing is as bad as OP says and the songwriting as good as OP says.

If the band has trouble separating business talks from personal feelings, suggest it as something fun. Maybe next rehearsal ask him to switch roles with you for one song just for fun and see what happens. Maybe he’ll see his song come to life and agree with you
