No, Bob Dylan wrote his own songs. Check the credits. You will find professional song writers names in each and every one of her hits. If she was talented enough to write her own music, the song writing credits would reflect as much.

You're free to like whatever you want, but if you think she's writting these songs, you're being ripped off and lied to. She is an entertainer, not a song writer. Her name is slapped in with the studio owned song writers name because it helps sell records. Look up the Blurred Lines trial and read Robin Thickes deposition where he basically admits to not even BEING IN THE STUDIO when it was written. When asked why his name was in the credits, his reply was basically "it helps to sell records". You're being lied to.

I'm wondering what is that you are looking in music? Is it honesty or some sort of credibility out of people or something like that?
People out there that listen to mainstream music just want the music as it is, why is it you want it to be so holy and pure? It's just pop music ffs and it is what it is and it's just as good as any genre of music you can bring to the table.

Also those people on the shadows have their names on the credits and are paid to make her music and many of those people hate the spotlight and could never make their music be successful if they weren't selling it to someone else to sing/play for them.

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.

Some of the greatest songs like what? Titanic's theme? I'd argue that ALL of the most important songs, were written by the performer.

Fly Me to the Moon - Bart Howard. Not Frank Sinatra.

Respect - Otis Retting. Not Aretha Franklin.

In the Ghetto - Mac Davis. Not Elvis.

Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson. Not Marvin Gaye or Tammi Terrell

Take the 'A' Train - Billy Strayhorn. Not Ella Fitzgerald.

With all due respect, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about when it comes to music. The most important songs? To who? 80s/90s kids?

Outside of genres like pop, rock, and country, and their branches of more niche connected genres and sub genres like metal or punk, almost no one successful writes and sings their own songs. Especially not "the most important" songs. What you really want to say is "my favorite songs," likely from a select group of your favorite pop/rock singers/bands you hold nostalgia for. I don't know what your scale for "important songs" is, but it is clearly incredebly inaccurate.

It's not anything like that at all. Song writing and singing are two completely seperate skills that require two completely opposite talent sets. There's nothing underhanded about it. Some pheonominal song writers are shitty singers. Some pheonominal singers are crappy song writers. It's stupid to limit the creation of a beautiful peice of music just because someone doesn't house both skills in the same vessel.

That's like saying it's underhanded for actors to not write their own scripts. Is it underhanded for a skilled piano player to make a name for himself with great established works? Or how about saying "fuck you" to every single orchestra player who performed the initial recording of the Harry Potter theme. That should have been John Williams performing everything. I'm never playing another video game unless the person writing, voice acting, composing, and programing the game is one guy.

See how silly that is? Adele is a more talented vocalist than 99% of the mainstream singer-songwriters today. It's silly to put down the credibility of that just success just because those songs aren't hers. Singer-songwriters aren't "more talented." They just have more talents that happen to overlap in their field.

It's nothing like selling someone else's painting. It's also not a "pop music" thing. Every genre does it, and they've been doing it for literally decades. Unless you think Frank Sinatra, and literally every big name jazz singer of that era got big singing "standards" that they themselves wrote.
