A lot of the people in the tribute bands aren't necessarily fans of the music.

Most of them are just hired musicians or even sometimes even the "owners" aren't fans, just people that like the money they make with the tribute

Personally I prefer tribute bands where at least the leader is a fan, it adds a piece of love to the tribute that makes it more honest that just milking the cow but, if the attendance enjoy it, good for them, that's what's important in the end, because everyone has to work to pay the bills.
You might get lucky, now and then

Well, it actually makes sense, because a fan won't stand butchering of his beloved songs on stage, which is often the case. Hiring a singer is a good idea, tho if you're trying to imitate MK, you need to be a good singer AND guitar player, which is a tall order. And makes you appreciate his work even more!

And again I agree :)
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home
