Does Christine EVER shut her mouth? Did someone one time tell her it's sexy or something and she's kept it up WAY past it usufulness? It's just looks Creepy now. Like a dentist has just said: "now show us your tongue, Crissy, show us how you bite an apple" Or is it just: say AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW infinity! Seeing her live has really put her in perspective. She horrible! Rude, overemotional, boring, on drugs? Or calm down pills at least. There's just something not quite right about her.

I worked with a fellow who wrote songs. He gav me to understand that he wrote his songs with particular singers in mind and would send the songs to them. Many were used.

This is something done for years. Maybe they like to hide the fact that another wrote the song they are now singing. I think I would want to give credit to both parties. Seems fair to me. But then, I am not in Show Business, because I do not want to show my business to everyone.

Of course it is well known that many singers don't write the songs they sing. That used to be the standard. But what isn't as well know is that it is not uncommon for well established singers to demand songwriting credit for songs they wrote nothing on. Elvis would get songwriting credit. The Colonel would tell the songwriter "Do you want part of an Elvis song or all of a song no one ever hears?" There are other singers today I've heard rarely really write songs they are credited on. What is sad is that some of them are touted as great songwriters. But really all they did was sing it....

Some have enough trouble singing it much less writing it! With all the bells and whistles available now, a whole lot of "singers" can't really sing at all. I once read a list of singers who write other singers songs. I wish they would print that one again. I remember being very suprised at some of them.
