Let me give you a few examples:
*Breakfast In America- Gym Class Heroes- origianally by Supertramp
* SOS - Rihanna- Original song was Tainted Love - Orignally by Soft Cell
* Candyman- Chrisitna Aguilera- Original song was Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy by The Andrew Sisters
*Girlfriend- Avril Lavigne - Original Song was Boyfriend by The Rubinoos'
So why do Singers NEVER come up with anything original these days??

that's easy! singers or entertainers in general, are not as talented as they used to be.
people get record deals or act in movies on 90 percent looks and 10 percent talent. if that.
so if you don't have the chops, it's easier to put some inane lyrics on music someone else wrote.

Wait! it incredibly is in area! and that they are asteroid miners! The Hattfields and McCoy's of the Kuiper belt! and that they positioned aside their ameliorations to combat a Mega business enterprise muscling in on their territories! interesting, no? lower back, in simple terms considering which you have seen it a million circumstances would not recommend creativity is ineffective. in case you may no longer take thought from poetry, a play, or action picture, it in simple terms ability YOUR creativity is stagnant. Get a coffee, take a cruise, soak up walking, yet once you like that to alter, basically you additionally could make it take place. solid success to you, mate.
