PrintableDavidEye said: I think we need to define exactly what the word "artist" really means.If a person writes songs,is that person an "artist"? If a person sings,is that person an "artist"? If a person performs on-stage,is that person an "artist"? Of course,there will always be debates/disagreements about how well the person does these things (it's simply a matter of opinion),but I consider many of the names on these lists to be "artists".Granted,some of these folks might not be creating the type of "art" that I like (Alanis Morrisette,for example),but they're still artists,nonetheless.
I definately think, on stage performance is art. No need to talk about singers and songwriters. pure art | |

 I'm with you there. As a matter of fact, the last thing of his that I actually enjoyed listening to was I Get Around which reunited him with Digital Underground. Speaking of Digital Underground, bring Humpty back to Hip-Hop. Where's Humpty?

I know people say he's different, he has a new, fresh perspective in Hip-hop. And I used to praise him too ... up until I saw him try and perform Roses on the BET awards. It was so pathetic. And I realized that song is trash (yeah, I used to love it ... but , umm, it has the words boo boo in it). And I realize the disguises and amateur guitar strums, etc were just cheap gimmicks. So sad for me. But I can't call Andre an artist anymore. People, even those who don't like hiphop, like to elevate him above Big Boi (deservingly so) and equate him to Prince, etc. Ecletic? Yes .. and he very well may be the savior of Hip Hop ... if the genre is in any position to warrant saving ... but what he creates is hardly art. 2. Justin Timberlake. Journalists have equated him with Stevie Wonder for goodness sakes. They think he's transcended beyond popdom to be a serious artist. Please. they didn't really say that about mr. timberlake, that has to be a joke 
[This message was edited Sun Aug 22 22:54:26 2004 by heybaby] As horrifying as that is, a lot of critics compared that little slimy bitch to Stevie Wonder after he performed at the Grammys. | |

I thought I would pop on here and see Milli Vanilli and William Hung. Instead I se Alicia Keys? Norah Jones? Hell, Alicia Keys plays piano better than Prince! The only name I could agree with on this list is Puff Daddy. Talentwise, he doesn't really do anything. Everyone else works hard at their craft. Whether or not you all find them entertaining is another thing. There are those outside of pop music who feel the same way about Prince as some of you do about some of these artists. Show a little respect, will ya? | |

savoirfaire said: Alicia Keys . This is a tricky one, but I totally agree. She's obviously talented, but she seems so phony. What's ironic is that she seems phony in an attempt to be more "real." I think an artist expresses their true soul, and I don't think we're seeing the real Alicia. Check this song out at:
