Most of her songs were made for her I guess. Some songwriters wrote songs for her to sing. Besides, I reckon that it's quite difficult to write songs if you can't put it into music or produce the sound that you think is the best for the words... Others make it look easy because they can compose lyrics and produce music/sound at the same time. She's not into writing her own songs like other big singers out there but if she'll focus on song writing she might have a hit that is actually hers.. Let's hope that she could have it in the future.🙂 She's making small steps now. Good luck. ●~~~~●

It’s a demo this was probably the one that made Rihanna want it tbh, back in the day autotune was used in almost every song & I think it was made to go with the best & Instrumental of this song. They do not put songs in autotune just in case they leak, artist don’t plan on demos or songs leaking, that’s why it’s called a demo, in fact most demos that leak don’t have a autotune or effects added to the vocals yet, so again that makes no sense why they would keep a file of a version that’s just got autotune everywhere.

Does she write ANY of her own material?

My assessment of her being packaged and manufactured. I didn't say she doesn't have a unique sound. I didn't say she brings NOTHING to the table. I said she was a packaged and manufactured 'pretty face,' which can be said for approximately 80 percent of the entire current recording industry collective. Hi hater ;)
