Why Artists Who Don't Write Their Stuff Are Not Really Artists

[Gohan 16,090]

I don't even know how to call them... Manufactured b---hes that look pretty. Maybe that.

But then again, some of them sing very well. While others sound like dying menopausal atrophied ovaries cats, so that can't be considered artistic at all. Just a atrocious.

Artist is a person that creates their own art.

If one just plain singing, they will be called as singer, not an artist.

 

[Angel Down 2,807]

How is singing art though? Singing is a talent

You don't 'create' singing, art is a creation

 

So does that make Cover singers on Youtube Artists or Singers?

Exactly...

[Angel Down 2,807]

Knowing the difference between being an artist and a singer is consequential... This is all I want to distinguish here...

Typical stans not knowing the definition of Art

Producers can be artists, a singer who interprets a song differently (by arranging the music differently and changing the melody) could be considered an artist, a performer who is is more involved in live shows and directs how their performances are going to be can be an artist, someone who is heavily involved in their music videos and creating worlds for their albums can be an artist.

Songwriting is hard and it's certainly an artistic expression, but you can be an artist without songwriting being your main talent.

I disagree because a musician could hypothetically not write their own songs but be involved in other aspects of their music and image, such as music production, music videos, and fashion. There are other ways to express artistry.

I didn't read your boring a*s post but girl, you should stop being so pretentious. 

When you read it come and talk again bye

Yea singing is art, but when you don't express what you think via your voice, that's not YOUR art. 

Singing is a form of expression and interpretation, that alone makes it art.

[Clip 5,100]

theres no such thing as "fully and artist"

singing is art someone who can sing is an artist 

I didn't say fully and artist. In my opinion you have to sing really really well to be art (for example, look at the song wiggle, they don't sing bad but you can't call ir art)

By your definition, Whitney Houston isn't an artist. 

[Angel Down 2,807]

Singing is a form of expression and interpretation, that alone makes it art.

Singing is a talent you naturally possess. You don't create singing, but you create your songs.

"recording artist".

[Angel Down 2,807]

By your definition, Whitney Houston isn't an artist. 

She's a legendary singer.
