Just because Sam Smith is they/them and fat doesn't mean we're not allowed to dislike their artistic output

The fact she has only made 6 music videos (For her own songs) in her entire career is kinda sad ngl

former grimes music video guest brooke candy gets into controversy (again)

she really went hard on her 2014 demos, that coulda been her DÉBUT, Imagine a reggae record 
 
breaK the AC, Fire Marshals, Pick Him For Me, Painkillas  (also I'm sure some of these were the songs she pitched to Rihanna)
 

Screaming at this random shade.
 
I love her, but yes, true.

Lana Del Rey claims that she wrote Yayo, but this is a complete lie because demos written by Lizzy Grant already existed since 2007. 

Yeah I didn't mean Britney Jean like the user implied. Also Britney has no fault of what it's done to her career.
 
 
AND producer 
 

Future Queen of Pop made some points:
 
On a serious note... I disagree with people who say singers who don't write (all of) their own music are less of an artist than, say, Taylor Swift who I personally think is very overrated as a writer, but that's a different discussion. Art comes in many forms and shapes, and in my opinion, someone like Beyoncé curating an album out of all the songs her A&R presents to her, recording her flawless vocals that are leagues above any of those songwriters, and ultimately creating one cohesive body of work out of them that really can be admired and enjoyed as one big whole rather than just a collection of songs – I don't think there's anything wrong with that? In fact, I would argue that no other artist out there would be capable of making Renaissance. And yet, when Renaissance came out, people ridiculed Bey for crediting every co-songwriter, every sample, every voice memo that she used on it, which obviously led to dozens of different writers in the credits. (Not gonna comment on the earlier Beyoncé cases because I honestly don't know enough about them.)
 
This being said, I do hate it when artists contribute very little or only change a few words and still act like they wrote the whole thing. I don't get where this obsession with artists having to write everything themselves comes from? I mean, did the fact that she didn't write her own music make Whitney Houston any less of a legend? No! Similarly (because he's an artist I know a lot about and thus can actually comment on), Troye Sivan was very open about the fact that Rush was presented to him in almost finished form and he then only re-wrote the verses and the bridge, and yet his performance made that song 100 % his own.
 
If we're gonna expect every artist to be a prolific solo writer, an amazing vocalist and a competent live performer, then I'm afraid there's not gonna be any artists left that actually fit that criteria. 

Also not completely the same but it annoys me so much when singers like Ariana will partially write the lyrics to an already complete song, or change some lyrics to a demo, and claim they wrote it. 
 
Like anyone could do that I fear? It’s not really a feat, but twitter stans will obsess over it. 
 
Side note but in recent years, Bey has been pretty great at crediting (hence why she has dozens of writers on each song) so I’m not mad about her earlier mishaps..

i'm just gonna leave this message from the GOAT whitney here:

lyrics without a voice singing them are worthless. there's a reason why we hear about beyoncé, rihanna and ariana grande and not about rich harrison, ester dean or tommy brown. there's a reason why lana has this very website dedicated to her and we're not on rickboards, jackboards or emileboards. bc she's the star, not them. and so is beyoncé, rihanna, ariana, etc. there's so much more to being a star than songwriting, and that's where the REAL talent lies. a song is nothing without an entrepreneur to do it justice. star quality babes, something no songwriting skills can buy. and, of course, VOCAL talent which is, essentially, what being a singer is. i rest my case 

mariah not only has the flex of having the most #1 hits out of any artist (19 hits), but also being the writer of all of those 
and on top of being an excellent songwriter she is also one of the greatest vocalists of all time
i can’t imagine having that much talent 

Ava is now the one raw dogging Dr Luke for her next album
