Blind Item #8

Not so long ago this singer/songwriter/musician was A list. All of you would sing her biggest song on the radio. In the last decade there has not been much to sing about and that is by her design. She does not want that levels of success for herself. She does however sell her songs using a pseudonym and has written almost a dozen top ten songs over that same time span.

    Good one too but she Foreign born... not that Enty is consistent. Michelle Branchs last actual album was 2007(only had extended plays of songs since). Could be her too

    +1 badgebunny. sheryl crowe's who came to my mind. she's an amazing songwriter, had maybe too much of the publicity machine in her life thanks to lance armstrong and breast cancer.

  13. Whoever, she is smart. Because the writer makes more on the song than the singer.
    See Madonna or even Elvis for that matter.
    Madonna knew she needed writing credit to make money, so she negotiated 25% of writing credit to sing a song.
    Whereas, Elvis sang and made the songs famous but didn't earn a dime on them -- other than album sales.

    Elvis didn't get any share of that money because the Colonel cut him out of it. If you wanted Elvis to record your song, and you weren't the biggest of names, you had to turn over a piece of your publishing rights to a company the Colonel owned. Not that unusual a racket, except that usually the A-list singer owned a piece of the company or got a writing credit and a royalty check. Not Elvis.

    It sounds like Sheryl Crow, the song being All I Wanna Do, If It Makes You Happy....etc. There were a lot. I know I blasted Picture a million times lol. She adopted her first son about 10 years ago, so probably having kids had something to do with her not wanting to perform anymore. She knows what she's doing and is set up for life.

    Crowe didn't write those songs by herself...lot of help. Maybe Linda Perry

    I don't think anyone said she wrote them by herself? But even being a co-writer of some sort gives her enough money.

    I mean....I'd say she's decent songwriter, some of those she is the only writer credited.

    And Mick and Keith started writing songs when they saw how much John and Paul were making for writing their own.

    Oh my goodness. I fucking love her. I wondered where she went.

    Actually, I love a lot of the other guesses the other commenters guessed too.

    Just to be different, I'm gonna say Cher because Serius Radio plays Half Breed and Gypsies Tramps and Thieves every single day.

  28. I'm so curious who this is!!! It's not Jewel, she has all the big named writers on her music and has released like 6 albums? Sheryl Crow is about to release a new album next month. What about Tracy Chapman.. she had that one huge hit and I don't think she was heard of again. But I'm not sure if she even wrote that song

  29. Alanis? Hmmm...
