REVOLT TVVerified account ‏@RevoltTV 24m24 minutes ago How do you define an Artist vs. an Entertainer? How does the difference impact how their music is appreciated? #TalkBack

One could be an unattractive Hermit with some professional success.

One wouldnt be a 'whole person' without the ability to connect with his/her audience.

I would say someone who is specifically involved in the creative side, the visionary part of it, is pretty clearly an artist even they don't perform.

Anyone who performs for the public is an entertainer.

Some people are both.

SuperSoul is on point:

An entertainer gives you what you want.

An artist gives you what you need.

Being able to exist in one person is not a paradox.
