In one of the recent threads, there were comments that if one didn't write one's own songs, or were popular because they were on a 'talent' show, then they weren't proper singers.
I found this X Factor clip which is one of the many that proves how stupid that attitude is...

"Talent" does not make you an artist. I don't know why we have so much of this modern promotion of "talent shows" parading as art.

It's just a massive circus with a bunch of "look at me I can sing/dance/juggle" idiots.

And it's not about writing your own songs either.

A lot of artists write their own songs but that doesn't make them any good.
