Music is so personal that you really can't judge it from another's point of view. If you could, we'd all be listening to the same stuff, and that's not good.
I cringe when I hear an interview with a "modern artist" when I hear them say they go into the studio, the producer puts on some beat loops with a backing track he came up with, then she starts singing whatever comes into her head to that beat and that's the song. I don't know why this bothers me, but in my mind, the producer is just as much the songwriter as the artist in this case.
I suppose sitting down at a piano or guitar and creating the melody and lyrics to me is more pure songwriting, but who am I to say. If a good tune comes out of a beat/chord box, who cares? If people like it, and it is loved by many, then that's the way of the world.
Crank it up!
