There's not a lot of artist in the music industry who are that involved (in control) of their own art, like Taylor is.

I'm not denying that she's super talented, because she is, but she is not in a league of her own. One could easily argue that Kelly, Beyonce, Gaga, etc are more talented. So many other artists do all of the things you just said.

Have any of those people written and composed an ENTIRE album by themselves. Please don't make me list all of the creative input that Taylor has had on her career.

Vocals are definitely a talent. And it's a talent Taylor literally is incapable of. Kelly's vocals alone are heralded as having more talent than anything else Taylor does to equate to "talent".
Let's take a look at a vocal blog's objective rankings of vocal talent:
Kelly Clarkson: Universal Acclaim
Taylor Swift: Negative Critical Reception
http://www.criticofmusic.com/p/blog-page.html
So, yes, they are in completely different leagues in terms to talent.

But vocals aren't the only form of musical talent Are you really implying that Taylor has no talent because she is not as great of a vocalist as Kelly .
Please. Let me know when Kelly can write a song without the help of four other songwriters

Me and several other fans have already informed you of them, but you refuse to accept it because it makes Kelly more well-rounded than your fave. And like I said, Kelly's vocal talent being so extraordinary places her above Taylor in terms of talent. Her writing ability is an added bonus.

Why are you acting like that's the only measure of talent, when its far from it? Gaga writes all of her music, its not a big deal if there's someone writing with her because she still has the most involvement in it and co-produces everything. I'm not denying that Taylor has had a lot of input but I think someone like Lady Gaga has had the most control of her career by far.

Yes because if y'all say she does then she does, but ofcourse those 4 other songwriters written beside that song mean nothing, right?? I would say writing every song of your career is a bit more impressive than being a great singer, seeing as how so many people have a great voice. Not very many can write entire albums by themselves though

Kelly could write an entire album by herself if she wanted to, it's not like she isn't capable. It's up to opinion on whether or not its good, and I do think Kelly is not as strong of a writer as Taylor.
However, its ridiculous to act like its so much more impressive to be a writer than it is to be a singer.
I don't think Taylor is more respected than Whitney Houston, who I'm pretty sure wrote nothing in her catalogue.

Did you read your buddies previous post?? Please don't act as if I completely biased just because I am not on your team sis. Has Gaga written an entire album by herself?! Hardly any solo writes either, so you can't really say that she has been more involved with her music more than Taylor has been with hers. I'm done talking with you anyway, half of the stuff you post doesn't even make sense. Especially with that Lady Gaga comment. Please go compare their songwriting credits and then come back and tell me who has more involvement

Blue sis, Kelly can write a song on her own (lyrics and melody) any day of the week. As others stated, she just have other writers because she credits them for the instruments they play.
On the other hand, Taylor CAN'T sing like Kelly any day of the week.
I give her props for her abrupt costume changes and many back up dancers though. I'm gonna watch her concert this June here because I love her recent album. I like them both but of course I prefer Kelly. Kelly wins this poll. Argument done because the only purpose of this thread is which ATRL prefers more and it is Kelly. Go survey the whole world if you're not satisfied eith the ATRL only result.

lol, the discussion was who has more involvement over their careers. Songwriting is not the only part of it. Again, Gaga writes all of her music regardless of whether there's someone writing with her…AND she co-produces the majority of her music. She has control over pretty much everything in her career, even designs her own clothes sometimes, so yes, I can say that she has more involvement in her career.
I'm making very much sense, thank you very much. And you're clearly not done talking to me since you replied to another post of mine right under this one, and you'll probably reply to this post

IMO writing the whole record would make it kinda sound boring, I like to have more than one writer on every album..
Kelly obviously

Taylor does all of this and more. What kind of moot point.

It's not Taylor's case, Speak Now songs are different from each other: Haunted is the opposite of Never Grow Up which is the opposite of The Story Of Us which is the opposite of Enchanted and so on!
Anyway this site really hates Taylor!
