Sometimes the best thing for an uneven performance, imo, is an uneven grid. Instead of snapping your performance to the grid, you can change the grid to match the performance. With the action "sws/br: move closest grid line to mouse cursor (perform until shortcut released), you can quickly line up the grid with the performance. Now the metronome won't be perfectly even, but anything you quantize to grid will match the performance.
It's not a big deal to quantize transients in a vocal recording, if they are obviously off time. My suggestion was to just be lazy about it. Do only the minimum to smooth things out, since quantizing is essentially removing the human element (at the extreme).
