It's funny but it really is harder for an accomplished singer (or any musician) to sing/play "badly" on purpose.
But don't confuse tuning with vibrato. Singing flat or sharp doesn't really have anything to do with vibrato in the sense that the vibrato is "out-of-tune." The basic note should be in tune before you go for vibrato or any other type of coloration. In a pinch you can use vibrato, trills or other vocal tricks to cover up a note that you don't hit properly--but it's not a good idea to rely on it. It is also stylistically acceptable to sing slightly out of tune ... look up desafinado.(

It's not so much that vibrato comes naturally than it is that you have to find
your vibrato.
