I couldn't disagree more. Britney Spears as compared to Elvis, are you serious? Yikes. Good performer? You do realize that Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix is a cover, right? And half of Led Zeppelin's songs are covers that they did not credit the source. Cocaine is not written by Clapton, neither is Crossroads. 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...
