Like as one of the YouTube commenters says, "To those critics of this cover please post links to your band or singing ability."
Specious analogy. If it were valid, no one could have ANY opinion about ANY art form or performance they couldn’t match themselves. Which, of course, contradicts your initial statement of “I'm no musician, but I know what I like…”
Specious analogy. To like something doesn't necessarily require any musical ability. To criticize something implies that you know (or can perform) better.
By definition, if you “like” a work of art, there must be works you don’t “like”, or like less.
A judgement has been made; X is better than Y.
You need NOT be capable of surpassing Y yourself to judge it inferior to X.
