1. What makes a singer an artist?[/B]
Being able to make a piece of music completely your own in a creative and meaningful way.
2.Do you think its hard for talented singers to gain success b/c of always being compared to someone else in the same field of music?
Nope... if they are talented they will get credit, and I think being compared in the beginning helps them... at some point it becomes a hinderance though because you can reach that level of making music your own (see above) that makes you an artist in your own right.
[B]3.Whats more important the talent or the catchy lyrics?
For commercial success ??? Catchy beats AND lyrics... HENCE WE HAVE BRITNEY... who can't really sing.. ( and does NO real slow songs) yet is one of the more popular singers out there. For longevity of career... that takes TALENT..
4.Do you find yourself purchasing cds from those who have REAL talent and getting bootleg on the aight stuff?
Actually I kinda don't really purchase CDs anymore... I kinda go song by song but I do I tunes... but if a really like someone I'll buy the CD... if I just like the song I Download it.
