Btw, am I the only one who hates the term "artist" when referring to a someone in the music industry? Then again, I guess you can't call them musicians anymore, since hardly any of them play any instruments or write their own music.

Lots of famous singers and crooners didn't write their own music. Elvis, Frank Sinatra (well most of the rat pack) - lots. Just because they didn't write a lot of their stuff doesn't diminish their success.
To me it just means the ones who do write their own stuff are multi-talented.
