With shows like American Idol, The Voice, and the Sing Off, people looking to have a singing careers has sky rocketed in the last few years. And it makes sense with the fame and reward that can go with a singing career.
Even though some of these people are natural singers the majority of them need help in one form or another. That's why they opt in for singing voice lessons so they can work on perfecting their vocal pitch and range.

Plus if you really want to be a professional, that is if singing is more important to than just sounding good around family and friends then you will need to learn the finer points of vocal control.
Gain the advantage
Another to think about is think of the advantage you gain by taking singing voice lessons over those who think they can sing just fine but have voices that are untrained.
One of the downfalls of a singer who thinks they can do it on their own is like a guitar player who copy's his favorite star. They end sounding more like someone who is already famous and never develop their own style.
The same thing happens with singers. The more you try to imitate someone else the more you lose yourself.
The other problem trying to emulate someone else is whatever faults that have in their singing, you are going to develop those same issues.
