I'm going to play devils advocate here for a moment...
Doesn't it kinda' make sense that the best performers rise to the top, and the music consumer wants them to perform the best songs? I think the problem is a composition is physical, it's tactile and easy to own, but a performance isn't. However, without the right performance the composition goes nowhere. If the performance is what's selling the composition, then isn't it only fair that the performer own a piece of that?
Just as there are a thousand lyricists for every musician, aren't there a thousand musicians for every great performer?
Imo...that is the way that it shakes out. If you are on the good side of that, it is the natural of order of things that fate and destiny annointed you as a star. If you are on the bad side, the world is unfair...which is very true. More than a thousand for sure.
