Are you an artist or an entertainer?
or are you Prince and do both amazingly well?
or are you a characture of either?
What popular (or not so popular) musicians do you consider artists? entertainers? Who do you look up to more? Which do you aspire to be?
I'll give an opinion. maybe it's true. these are just off the top of my head.
artist - Tom Waits
entertainer - Neil Diamond
artist - Diamanda Galas
entertainer - Celiene Dion
Bad artist - Meatloaf
Bad entertainer - Marilyn Manson
So entertaining he's an artist - David Lee Roth (or was)
So artful he's entertaining - Mike Patton
artist - Madonna
entertainer - Britney Spears
you get the idea. you can play too.
And as far as I know, I'm an artist - cause I damn sure ain't entertaining!

like example. celine dion. i really don't find her very entertaining at all. but i do respect her technical ability. so i'm not sure what you would call that.
maybe you should start another category.
