Edit big time edit!

I literally copied and pasted the entire page LOL I looked over it again and I noticed I was wrong and you are right.

Rihanna has a CO credit on those songs.

HOWEVER

Can you please explain to me how she was able to receive a co credit when she receives all her completed songs prior to recording them?

How could she possibly receive a credit when she was not involved in writing the song?


These 2010 pop tarts are not fooling anybody!

There is footage of Janelle writing her own songs and she candidly talks about the creation of her music. Mind you, when I said what defines an artist, I never said a singer HAS to write their songs in order to be called an artist. I also included vocal arrangements and overall input in the direction of their music which Janelle is heavily involved in.

Janelle also plays instruments and plays a big fundmental part in producing her music and writing it. She does not switch one or two words around in a completed song. She is active in the songwriting process.

There is a difference my love

Janelle has also written songs BY HERSELF she has proven her self to be a songwriter on her own merit. Please lets not compare her to Rihanna! There is NO comparision!
