Re: That's a funny, if ineffectual way around it
I totally agree with supporting the lesser known artists. I just bought my first cd in..oh about 5 years. Group called "Evanescence". Really great group from Ak.
"Artists" such as "mad donna" give true artists a bad name.
I always had this distinction. If you play an actual instrument (Voice doesnt count) then i call you an artist, e.g. Michelle Branch, Sarah McLachlan, etc.
If you just sing, but write your own songs, then i call you a performer, e.g. Andrea Coor, etc.
But if you just sing, and dont even write your own songs, then i just call you "entertainment", e.g. most others.
I'd rant more but class is starting  |

Singing is definitely an art form. Listen to Ella Fitzgerald or Buddy Holiday. If that's not art then neither is the Moonlight Sonata.

Upper Marlboro, MD | Maxo, i'm only 20! My music database is a bit skewed in that it only dates to the mid to late 90's and on.
But i will check on those and and take your word for it.
I guess i should have been more precise to say "Modern vocalists" |

| I'm 22. It's true that most modern vocalist are just performers and not artists. This is true for older bands also like Tom Jones n' such. They are performers. Madonna is also a performer.

And actually, the voice IS an instrument. It's in the family of woodwinds. |
