Blind Item #3
This foreign born singer is probably B-. As a writer though she is pretty much A list. No, this is not about Sia. She would be much higher on the singing part of this. Anyway, this singer/songwriter was the reason one musician split from his celebrity/reality star/awful singer wife. That is not the reason I am writing, although it does make for a good blind on its own. Apparently this A+ list singer had a song written for her by our foreign born singer. It went Number one on about 20 charts around the world and sold millions of copies. The song was a duet. One of the singers in the duet bought our foreign singer/songwriter a $100K car. The A+list singer? She has never bothered to meet the writer or say thanks or even acknowledge someone else wrote the song.
Charlie XCX
ReplyDeleteThe song being "Fancy" with Iggy Azalea.
ReplyDeletepete wentz and ashley simpson as the couple broken-up
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jessie J as the singer/song writer
she wrote a song for Rihanna and Chris brown called put it up
I'm trying to make this about Jessie J & Taylor Swift but I don't see much for duets. I'm more interested in the other part!
ReplyDeleteagree with Charli XCX cant figure out the song though, but I remember a while ago on twitter saying about Taylor Swift "appropriating" one of her songs
ReplyDeleteDoesn't,Charlie sing on that? Maybe it's a song the a+ Lister took writing credit for someone like Beyonce. Iggy Azalea A+?. Hope not.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Tove Lo
ReplyDeleteI believe this is Charlie XCX, and the A+ singer is Madonna.
ReplyDeleteSinger/songwriter- Amanda Ghost (English) def b- singer/A writer:written top hits for James Blunt ("Your Beautiful" , Jordin Sparks, Beyonce and Shakira....
ReplyDeleteDuet song"Beautiful Liar"- Beyonce =A+ /Shaikara artist who bought her a car.
Couple who divorced maybe Liam Gallagher/Nicole Appleton

ReplyDeleteSeriously, the real money in music goes to the writers, doesn't it? Remember "I will always love you?" Whitney Houston sang it but Dolly Parton wrote it and Dolly Parton made something like $10 million on that one song. She can buy her own $100K car! While Whitney Houston was in debt when she died - she owed her label $20 million or so that she took in advances on a $100mm album deal. One of the reasons her estate wasn't a big earner after her death (except for the sympathy spike in the first year) is that she didn't own any of the hit songs that she sang.
