ASCAP's Songwriter of The Year writes her own music, yes.

Do they actually write their own songs?
No they don't

Are they artists or are they just a singer?
singer

I honestly think that beyonce changes like "the" to "a" and then slaps a writing credit on there or pays for it. There have been whole albums where Queen Rih doesn't have a single writing credit, so that leads me to believe that when they're there, it's real. Katy, yes I think so also.

Katy does. I don't think Rih or Bey write much.

Katy does but she uses co-writers to give her some ideas. Beyonce is probably a "I just changed a few words" girl (no shade) and Rihanna does very little song-writing. I think she has even admitted that.

Are you in the studio with Beyonce? No. So in other words you don't know. But from ppl who actually worked with Beyonce says otherwise.

I don't know much about Bey and Riih, but Katy writes her own songs.

What you honestly think is irrelevant. Beyoncé has a writing credit on Pretty Hurts, and Sia said in her interview that Bey changed a lot from her original version.

Fall back a bit!

Thank You. She doesn't sing songs like the demos unlike others who copy and paste to the point where they're mimicking the demos vocals.

Ergo

Like gurlllll

Honey child, am not trying to offend you here. And yes my opinion is relevant when I'm being asked a question. Obviously it isn't necessarily fact, and I never expected anyone to take it as such.

Rihanna and Beyonce don't.

Katy of course does Rihanna and especially Bey probably not i think.

.

Katy and Beyoncé for sure.

!!! Bey writes songs, guys... has been since her time in DC so....

They're singers first and fore-most I think, but they do have writing credits on some songs. But when you have a writing credit, it could be anything from a word/note to the entire thing, so it's hard to know.
