If you could possess any of these three talents if you were an artist which would you'd rather have the most?

Performing
Vocal Abilities
or
Song writing abilities

Also which is the best quality in an artist and which lasts the most?

Vocals

Vocals

I already have performing and song writing skills, i lack vocals however

Songwriting, I feel like it's a more rare and valuable thing

The idea of just casually sitting and conjuring up a compelling song is just

Song writing abilities for the coins, but other than that, performing

Tru

katy has all of these

Performing for the coins and fans, fame and adulation.

Song writing

Performing. Touring is where the big money is.

How can we verify the others without vocals, sis.

Vocals. You could always improve performing or songwriting, but improving vocally is very hard to do.

performing, vocals can be over at some point in your life

Well, I don't wish to be a performer, and a part of performing is the ability to hold a note... So definitely songwriting.

If I could write pop songs with the amount of skill and precision of my songwriting idols (Rivers Cuomo, Noel Gallagher, Paul McCartney, Thom Yorke, Bono/Edge), that would be cool, but it's obviously not my calling, lol.

I have songwriting and vocal skills but I would also want to be a better performer

Songwriting, because then if my own career went under, I could still make money writing hits for others

I'd love to be a songwriter first and a singer second ^_^

Vocal tone. Not necessarily a massive range, because whilst impressive, I don't think having a huge range is at all necessary to be a great singer. However, if you have a unique, pleasant, accessible, marketable tone, that's literally gold. It's something I lack and I wish I had so bad.

People who can't perform are just lazy, it's something you can learn or at least work at to get better. Song-writing is also a must for me but it's not something I feel I struggle much with.
