I have something very intelligent, thought provoking and factually based to post. The only problem is I don't feel like posting a long winded thesis.
So
jays is wrong, trust me.
- HedCold - 11-13-2003
jays is way to defensive about this whole thing
- Galt - 11-13-2003
that's because he's a self-hating homo
- The Jays - 11-13-2003
Exactly.

That's not a fact, that's an opinion, much like mine is. So, in response to Gonzo's post, I am not wrong because opinions are never wrong. There has been no factual evidence in this thread from either side.
Quote:Come on? Are you drawing comparisons between people like Clay Aitken and people like Sting, Dylan, Lennon, and Dave Matthews?
No, I was drawing comparisons from those who strictly sing, not those who write and sing. You called into question the validity of "singer as artist", and, from this thread, the one question that needs to be answered is "Is a singer emotionally involved with the music he/she sings?", and neither one of us has the evidence that says yes of no.

people who have to write there own songs do a hell of a lot more work than a person just singing it. she is in the studio and writing songs ever damn day. a person who just sings just shows up and sings there is no stuggle to make the song fit them they just sing.
don't you ever talk back to me boy

How do you know that? You're basing your arguement on the point of view of a songwriter, of course they only see the singer show up and belt out a song. What about the singer's workday? Wheres the evidence from the point of view that counts? Show me a singer who says, "Yeah, I just go to the studio for a few hours and sing what they tell me to sing, how they want me to sing it, I really don't reflect on it that much." Then I'll change my opinion.

Wasn't talking to you to begin with.

It takes talent to sing. It takes even more talent to write your own music and sing. Singing someone elses music is pretty lame, I do it for a number of reasons. Its a good place to start, I gained valuable contacts and opened doors that were previously not available to me. I think every musicians goal should be to write and record their own music and not sing something someone else writes for them.

Sinatra didnt write his own tunes
- Keyser Soze - 11-13-2003
Yeah but Sinatra was an icon. He transcended all the rules.

The Candy Man
Sammy Davis Jr.
Candy Man, Hey Candy Man
Everybody gather around and listen because,
I'm the Candy Man
Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in the sky
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
The Candy Man makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious
Now you talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes
Oh, who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
The Candy Man makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
