Y'all are so naive about the pop industry sometimes.

And no, she didn't collaborate with M.I.A. She sang a song M.I.A. had already written. Collaborations involves working together to create a new project, which M.I.A. wanted to do and Christina refused.

Hmm, why don't you bring some receipts to backup what you're saying?

Errrlend

Most songwriters peronalize their songs, Xtina most likely changed VERY much on Elastic Love tbh.
and yes she is

Peep Show

Yes she's a great writer

Well, of You Lost Me, she said she was sent to chorus of the song and she wrote the verses to it. I assume it's like that with a lot of her music. Besides the stuff with Linda.

unbothered

She's very involved in her writing process and very generous with sharing writing credits and royalties.

Apprently she is credited as a "co-writer" on a lot of her songs..... but I don't trust too much on this supposed co-writing credits all these divas get........ I think they just help and co-write a few words , but clearly the biggest part of the work is done by the high profile producers/writers they working with.

The only girls I trust on they writing are: Alanis Morissette, Dido, Amy Winehouse, Avril Lavigne, and Lady Gaga.

OK...

Actually, Gaga does the same. She's credited as a co-writer.

Obviously she needs help from other producers and writers... but I mean the girl is credited alone as the only writer/composer on "Speechless" and "You and I"

at least I know and there's proves she just can sit and write a song by her own. So thats why I trust on her writing

and what makes you think Xtina can't? She's credited as a co-writer in almost her whole discography since Stripped. Yes, she has never wrote a song by her own. The closest to that would be Fighter if I'm not wrong. You cannot tell how involved she's into her music, just based on that. e.i. You Lost Me being one of her most aclaimed ballads, she wrote all the verses. Would you still saying she's not able to write a song by her own?

Is something personal , I don't trust too much on these Co-writing credits, I know she helps a lot on the writing process, but honestly I highly doubt she is the main brain/worker on her songs.

Unfortunately Xtina has never written a song by herself to justify her writing.

but this is only my personal opinion, I'm not stating this as a fact.

That'd be highly disputed, since most of her songs are personal, very personal.
OK.
