Wouldn't the more appropriate question be "Is a chef a chef if someone else creates the recipe for him?" It's still up to the chef to put the work into cooking the dish.
It doesn't bother me if a performer isn't the writer/creator of a song--it's their presentation and interpretation that will make me like/dislike it. Some of the big names like Jeff Beck and Barbra Streisand have albums full of songs written by others, but it's still their unique talents that make the music what it is.
