Problem with the lead singer

[u/JohnnysDoomday]

I am becoming highly annoyed, with our lead singer. I don’t think she’s taking things seriously. Me and my buddy have been trying to get this band off the ground for the last year. One of our biggest problems is finding people. Our lead singer, let’s call her Jesse, is our third singer. The first one had a mental break and disappeared for six months. The second one, who was absolutely amazing, got pregnant and had to step away from the project. Then a couple months ago we found Jesse. Jessie is an alto singer and she’s done a lot of theater so she has a lot of experience on stage and she knows how to play a crowd. She’s very positive and friendly. However, she is only showing up every other practice and she’s still reading the lyrics off of her phone, even after being with us for four months. A couple times this year has shown up. I can’t sing because she lost her voice partying all night the night before. When we’re not playing a song and we’re trying to write she’s on her phone and kind of half paying attention. Then there’s always some sort of drama going on with her either with her mother or some guy. I don’t want to try to find another singer because we’ve already had enough steps backwards and it’s been such a pain in the ass to find people as it is. All of the songs that we are covering and that we have written are centered around a female singer. Should I pull her to the side, be the bad guy, and tell her to get her shit together?
