i mean not /every/ song has to be emotional but all of my favorite songs are emotional and i can't get into artists that don't have at least some emotional songs

See, I don't really care that much about whether an artist writes their own music; I might respect the artist more but it doesn't really affect how much I like the actual music, so long as they can sing it convincingly. Sia wrote her whole album and it still sounds like lobotomized dreck; Rih barely ever picks up a pen but her sings are often great. It all depends on the material and execution for me.

how is that not emotional, it's about partying and drinking because you feel like total crap when you don't

You see, that's a very poignant line, but it's completely drowned out by Sia's delivery, which sounds like she's trying to sound like Rih and failing miserably. It's like a movie; you can have an amazing script but if the acting's **** the whole movie's kinda ****.
She's seriously one of the most beautiful artists out there today.
