Ok, So I just saw the new Clay Aiken music video

[Keyser Soze]

It takes talent to sing. It takes even more talent to write your own music and sing. Singing someone elses music is pretty lame, I do it for a number of reasons. Its a good place to start, I gained valuable contacts and opened doors that were previously not available to me. I think every musicians goal should be to write and record their own music and not sing something someone else writes for them.
