   Are you people seriously defending her songs?   
      
   I don't think you need to get so defensive and resort to personal attacks   
   though, all you needed to do was disagree.  Nice fans she has.   
      
   Either way, since you asked, here're some examples of what I consider decent   
   songwriting (or true talent that'll can stand w/o a flashy outfit 'n   
   tattoos) :   
   elton John   
   Rufus waingwright   
   the guess who   
   mike patton   
   pj harvey   
   radiohead   
   modest mouse   
      
   I don't know, that's just off the top of my head.  Try standing a few songs   
   from any of those artists against the lyrical sunshine that is "spaceman" by   
   ms. Naked.   
      
   Have I listened to her CDs?  No I haven't but I've heard more than a few of   
   her songs on the radio.  They didn't make me puke, they just made me kinda   
   bored.
