I think that the majority of stars are told what they need to do by their label but generally they get to decide which songs suit them (by ghost writers), what type of concert sets they like and of course what they wear (although they will have stylists too). Lady Gaga is a good example of controlling the reigns of the information, songs, outfits, sets, etc. She is talented however many have said before she is too talented for pop songs. In saying that, I know a lot of people are the reason she is here today. People who helped come up with her name, managers, publicists, people who supported her financially.

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

To reiterate, in the turn of the nineteenth century there was this popular Polish actress who used to sell out theatres, leave her audience in hysterical tears every night - just from reciting the alphabet. Her material wasn't important, this woman just had such a gorgeous way of expressing herself that she could draw out that much feeling from her audience. That's art to me.

You must have some great connections.

So I guess you are not going to produce these receipts of Rihanna writing her own songs before receiving them?

Ah, yes it is..... because I asked you to provide an article or info where it states she wrote a song and not changed one word of a song that was already a completed song.
