I guess the simple answer would be:
Songwriter = writes the song
Composer = composes melodies etc, and decides on what insruments to use ets.
Artist = person who performs the song (the face of it all)

Would you consider there to be a difference between Songwriter and Composer? I don't, but maybe that's just due to my background. Thoughts?

IMO
In musical terms:
An artist is someone who is versed in the 'art' of music. This can be a composer, a songwriter, even the production engineer.
A composer is someone who creates new music.
A songwriter falls under the heading of 'composer' since he/she writes new music whether lyrically or musically.

Sorry Sausage Lord, I answered too fast; SHONDRAE is fully in the business, so I presume he'll definitely know the best !!

And I think he does, in this case.
That makes very good sense, SHONDRAE, since I'm sure some of those peeps on American Idol can't write orchestrated scores (although I hope they have at least a basic understanding of music theory, but who knows?). Thanks for the input and clarification(s).

Good point. Does anything on this forum REALLY matter?
No is the answer, but that doesnt stop us drivelling on

True...and lets face it, there is a substantial amount of drivel going on...a lot of which I am probably at least partially responsible for having thought about it...
...anyone else got that Friday feeling?
