And Eminem is a great songwriter in my opinion, I love his lyrics, especially in the song "Lose Yourself".

Anyway, if you look at it as her only just starting out in her career writing all her own music similar to the way the Beatles did, she has so much room to improve, and just get better and better.

Some great choices in there, particularly Otis Reddng, George Clinton, Sly Stone, Diana Krall, Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood.

Some good female songwriters off the top of my head (everyone I mentioned previously was male)...

Kim Gordon
Kate Bush
PJ Harvey
Bjork
Liz Phair

No slating from me. He's one of the best songwriters of this generation and he's got that lyrical genius thing going.
