Performers calling themselves "artists"

[deltreefitness]

I'm sick of MTV stars calling themselves artists. Like these young pop stars or rappers. They're merely performers - at best! Most don't write their own music or lyrics. Most also don't play any instruments let alone know how to actually read or write music. Not all but most. Usually those that actually have talent and write their own music are not referring to themselves as "artists"...because their actually real musicians.

Jessica Simpson and her sister "We really grew as an artist on this record"

Yeah riiiiiiiiight. Your producers bought music from real musicians while you just put your shitty voice and had studio techs patch up your voice. Then you put your (not so) pretty young faces on it.

quality rap is art. Singing isnt the only form of vocals that are represented as art in music, rapping is too believe it or not.

People really underestimate what some of the best rappers do (did, the rap industry is destroyed right now).

Haha. Most people are annoyed by the queeny twinks but I usually get a kick out of them. I don't even get Bravo. I replaced that package with some HD programming. Is West Wings that show about the small airport with the middle eastern (?) character with the accent and sings "My goat knows the bowling score"?

we should put the studio engineers on the titles of the CD's

they're really the ones who make the music.

Not really. One of my best friends works as a studio engineer. Although his job is important it would be nothing without the original writer(s) and professional studio musicians (band).

I suppose you're right, all equal components to the mix.

The music industry's a tough gig. But really, to be an artist you must above all else create something. Today it seems to be more quantity over quality though.

Let's put it this way: there are very few great artists.

i like to think of my work on EF as art

funny, I like to think of it as crap.

 

[a10j10]

Let's put it this way...
anyone who has little to no input and is merely there to sing others' lyrics & music, besides possibly looking good on stage shaking their ass...
is NOT an artist!

They're just full of shit, and even more so the idiots that buy "their" crap...

Peace

what you buy in a store right now isn't music, it's marketing.

hence these massive star "musicians" who are really just acts. i mean come on, jessica simpson gets lauded when she "co-writes" one song on the cd, and it's usually just filler

 

[a10j10]

Does it surprise anyone then that REAL artists aren't in the top ten?
Don't surprise me...

ok, besides stuff like U2...
but you know the usual suspects I'm referring to (all that poppy crap).

LOL. So little is expected of them when they actually have ANY creative input in the record it's made a huge deal.

Another pet peeve is when those fans (idiots?) that buy these tool bags' album say something like "I really like [marketing tool "artist"] because I can really relate to what their talking about in their music".

Oh, as in:
"I'm sorry we broke up..."
or,
"You're the love of my life (usually a 13 yr-old), don't let me go..."

and other shit too crappy to mention and waste time over...
blah!

This is a sore spot for me because I love music so much. I believe every type of music is valid, even rap (but 90% of the rap that you will hear sucks major donkey ass, because the main acts that get record deals fit that same idiotic formula).
There is definitely a serious lack of talent in most of the music on the radio and at the top of the charts. The masses(dumbasses) don't know or care about everything it took to make a performer appear talented. As mentioned earlier, it's marketing. There is no integrity. Dumbasses rule, but they can't make me listen to crap.
