After all, music is the art of creating vibrations in the air.... I dont think there are really rules of how it should be done.
Here are some rules:

Find your own voice - don't try to imitate someone else.
Don't sing too high or you won't sound good.
Don't try to do things you aren't good at, while performing.
Don't perform junk - perform music people will want to hear.
Have the microphone positioned so you can keep your mouth right on it, while playing your musical instrument and looking at your music.
Get your mouth away from a directional mike when singing loud, and close to the mike when singing soft.
Don't let musical instruments drown out vocals.
