The actual credit is " Title Song Performed By Sheena Easton." In my opinion, that is a crew credit that I have seen many times before.
This is no different than any other crew member that has a cameo. I would enter her as 'Sheena Easton as Herself (Uncredited).
Since when does "performed by" get a credit? I thought only the song writers get credit for song writing. I can see performed by as a local custom, but not contributable.
I'd say she gets cast as herself uncredited, and that's it. She didn't write the song, can't get writing credit. While I see how you read his statement.... I believe that is what Martain is saying.... no crew credit. But can do an uncredited cast credit. | | | | Pete |

I said it was a crew credit, which it is, not a contibutable crew credit, which it isn't. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Cool, sounds like we are in agreement then. I did misread the Martian, it sounded like he had seen that credit on contributions before, but was saying he's seen it on many a film credits. Hope this means no purge of these credits from the database is needed.  No credit except for uncredited cast role.  |
