Because you don't need to be particularly musically talented to make a piece of music that someone else enjoys. Christ, the Mr. Blobby song went to number 1, that says it all.
Oh, and if you're going to claim that a talented musician is someone who WRITES a piece of music that someone else enjoys, then that rules out a lot of people in pop music, being as they don't write their own music. I'm sure a lot of the session musicians that write the music are actually talented, however they don't really use that talent particularly well when writing simple pop music. Yeah, they're using their talent to write commercial music that your average Joe will like, but they're certainly not using their talent to write an intelligent piece of music.
I don't understand why people have difficulty accepting that some people are just plain better at writing music than others. If I make a shitty photoshop that makes someone laugh, and a lot of people like it, does that mean that it's as good a work of art as the mona lisa? Of course not, and anyone who would think that it is, clearly has been smoking too much.
Hey a lot of people liked the robot costume I made for halloween, that means I'm now a great scupltor, right up there with Michelangelo. Sweeeeet.
