Singer-Songwriter

Singer-songwriter is a term that refers to performers who write, compose and sing their own material including lyrics and melodies, often providing the sole accompaniment to an entire composition or song. A number of other well-known musicians may write some of their own songs, but are usually referred to as singers instead. Edit this Artist photo: Joaquín Sabina

Huh? Last time I checked, arrangements and performance are just as, if not more important, as songwriting. Sorry, but plenty of great artists barely wrote a song in their life (Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore, almost all classical or opera musicians, ect)

How about the great songwriters who just can't sing well enough? Should their songs be forgotten then?

So, artist sing a song, which they actually wrote all by theirself. Isn't it how it's suppose to be? I actually listen almost only music which is written.. By theirself, OFCOURSE.. Mostly no lyrics.. Wow, heey, they are actually writers :/ --- What i mean is; people who don't write their stuff do not even deserve to be adored. --- Conclusion: every single artist who SINGS in their songs, which doesn't have this tag, is crap. I think that's clear.

The way I see it it's just a tag, not a genre. It hints to the way the artist chooses to perform.

Meh, it's probably more pretentious than ignorance. They know...most of them should, but they throw the tag on there just to mark "their" music. pfffffff

It's not the "tag" I get annoyed about, it's the perpetuation of this fictional "genre" that gets thrown about by people who are too ignorant to learn anything about music.
