Stardust, what about those that play by ear but don't read music? Does anyone know if Beyonce plays instruments?
I don't know. It seems to me that one can pick up any cd and see someone on their talking about songwriter and I bet that many of those folk don't *read* music. Isn't part of the song that is written the *words*? Maybe she wrote the words.
Who knows,
ETA: She cried? Poor thing. How horrible to have the whole world see you lose your composure. That must have been hard.
ETAA: I just heard Jennifer Hudson's rendition of that Jennifer Holliday song. She ripped it! It just seems like all the best talent comes out of the Chi. LOL. Ok, shameless plug.

They might have been able to get away with it if they listed her as a contributor to the lyrics only. I just get tired of all these young "singers" who cant' be bothered to learn their craft. James Brown death reminded me how short the artist of today really are compared to generations past (now his personal life was a mess but he was a musician).
