I wish I could sing like them- Is like a preposition so the pronoun should be objective (as it is)?
I wish I could sing like they- I assume you need to have the verb here..
I wish I could sing like they sing- 'like they sing' Is this a comparative clause? If not what is it? I thought it was not a comp. clause because from what I have read, a comparative clause begins with 'than' or 'as'.
Thanks.

However, your 2nd sentence should end something like "...like they do" . You are right, a verb should go on the end.
Sentence 3. Seems ok to me. You could use more words "I wish I could sing similar to how they sing", all means the same thing.
I don't think it is comparative because you are not comparing yourself
