We're talking sales? That's a different matter, I thought this was about the lyrics.

Music is not about the lyrics, that's like saying videogames are about stories.

Indeed, lyrics is just one metric that makes a song, but great lyrics alone aren't enough. Liz delivery and perfomance are equally important. I'd imagine the same song would be very boring covered by other great vocalists.
