[@JeJguitargirl]

What I don't think people understand is that songwriters like her and Ester Dean want to pitch their songs to artists like Rihanna. Rihanna doesn't take it and shit all over it, if that was the case they wouldn't have had the songs pitched to her. There is a difference between a songwriter and a recording artist.. Sometimes they are both.

[@kokolatte825]

Well you can still respect the work and have some adlibs or an arrangement or something to make your take on it. Rihanna at this point in her career was not a real artist, just a puppet.

Writers like sia (who chooses not to show her face anymore), ester dean, & cristyle are not so much into being in the public eye. Yet they're talented. They do things and appear as they want to. They choose not to be seen much and still express their creativity the way they know how. They still get to make great music without getting caught by papz and they don't have to worry about media bullshit. I am a big Rihanna fan as I do know she does not write her own music most of the time. Writers get awards too we just don't see that on TV or hear about awards like ASCAP and things similar for producers and writers

[@bboychance]

This comment wins the Stating-The-Bleeding-Obvious Award. of COURSE we fucking know writers don't seek the spotlight, in the same way as screenwriters for blockbuster Hollywood movies shun the spotlight. Why are you making a comment that is so unbelievably frigging obvious?

[@MJAYMONONOKE]

+bboychance Well, not it's that obvious. Some people have the notion that an artist does it all. They're not privy to the mass marketing machine behind these manufactured pop stars. But on the contrary there are writers/producers who've sought the spotlight: Timbaland, Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo, to name a few. But to the original poster: I wouldn't consider Ester Dean part of that generalization. She has released her own songs, featured in others and has done acting.

[@jayjohnson8403]

Umm OK. Then all you have to do is look up the song credits. You also got producers that create the instrumentals, sound engineers, mixing, and mastering--usually this stuff can be found in the credits to the song. Also, sometimes live instrumentalists will be credited. These people aren't looking for major fame- it's just their job. It's the public's decision to look these things up or not. Only an idiot would seriously think an artiste is fully responsible for the song. Even Charlie puth, who writes, produces, and mixes his own songs will have assistance in mastering the song so it is radio-ready. ☺️

[@gezzy2short]

Some people don't want to be huge stars but love making music. This is a great job. Maybe she is a mother who wants raise her family. She doesn't want that attention.

[@elijah-jamesmac2039]

I honestly think that they get exactly how much credit they want.

[@lilyblossom1240]

+Nick Greek listen to more demos for other artists like beyonce, brittany, and so on. the demos are copied to the T. this is how the music industry rolls. the demos are complete songs. most artists today change little to nothing from demo to record.

[@CallmeXtina80]

I honestly think some of these people who write the songs require the singer to sing it the way they want it. If you see old footage of Xtina and Britney in the studios recording their first albums they are completely guided (if not forced) by the producers who tell them how to sound, what melismas and ad libs they have to sing etc.

[@gligar5000]

What I like about Rihanna is she wants the song to be in the same image the writers picture it. Which is why she sings it like the demo

[@iambluegossip]

most of these demos are just references as in they are done after everything has already been nailed down and the artist has given their input... christy had time to record references, rihanna does not... rihanna comes in much later and would maybe change a few things but this demo has her or her teams input in it already...
