R.I.P. artists who can write songs all by themselves.

Who cares? Why is this an issue?

Because imo, it's like selling someone else's painting and taking credit for it. She sings someone elses songs, and said person sits in the shadows, unrecognized and unappreciated by the public. Sure, she has an amazing voice, but amazing voices are a dime a dozen. Singer songwriters who perform are much more talented.

I could go on Youtube right now and find 10 amazing singers doing cover versions of other people's music. But I could search for 10 years and be lucky to find ONE great singer song writer. 

It's just the whole underhanded nature of pop music these days that I loath.
