Chris Brown needs more songwriters.

Since people are always linking music on Facebook ranging from awesome (Biggie Smalls, Iron Maiden) to garbage (Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Nickelback), I've decided to do a more in-depth analysis on the songwriting rather than just say that this music makes my ears bleed and it's awful and no one should ever listen to it ever. To be completely honest, even shitty songs are catchy because of their beat. But does anyone ever look past the artist and into the intricate parts of the song?

I've decided to look into a Chris Brown hit (pun semi-intended), "Don't Wake Me Up". Here's the video and the lyrics.

Writers: Alain Whyte, Allessandro Benassi, Brian Kennedy, Chris Brown, Jean-Baptiste, Marco Benassi, Michael McHenry, Nick Marsh, Priscilla Hamilton, Ryan Buendia, William Orbit

Did it honestly take 11 people to put together a 289 word song? That's an average of 26.27 words per writer, which is probably a slap in the face to all aspiring songwriters out there who spend hours upon hours trying to make a song.

Here's the word count of the four words that comprise the title:

Don't = 32

Wake = 25

Me = 26

Up = 60

The title itself is 49.5% of the entire fucking song. Numbers don't lie. It's not as bad as Nicki Minaj's "Stupid Hoe" but you get the point. The title of the song is usually reserved to the chorus or maybe peppered throughout the song, but to make it the entire song itself? No thank you.

By comparison (and it should really be unfair to compare this song to any non-shitty song), here's "Holy Wars...The Punishment's Due" by Megadeth. Here's the video and here's the lyrics.

Writer: Dave Mustaine

Producer: Dave Mustaine

Not only does it sound a trillion times better and had only 259 words, but it only needed one person to write the lyrics and to produce the song, both considerable tasks in themselves. How can one person succeed where 11 people failed?

Quality over quantity, Chris. You don't need more songwriters, you need more talent, something that you apparently don't have.
