Not sure where you're going with the performer thing. 99% of Rock & Roll is performance. Even Chuck Berry knew that and learned from Muddy Waters, T-bone Walker, and may other blues masters.
Comparing Britney Spears to Elvis is like comparing the Monkeys with The Beatles...I just don't know what to say! I think you're picking a fight. So I am walking away now...

lol, i'm not picking a fight or trying to troll you or anything.
I know that covers exist and that other artists don't always write their own material but that's not my point.
To my knowledge, Elvis didn't write a single thing that he performed and that he was well known for. I might be wrong and feel free to correct me but that's what I have always thought.
