I would not disagree with that wholeheartedly. There are 'artists' who desire only to be creative, and, then there are the corporate 'song slingers', who churn out hits for the Justin Biebers and all the New Kids on the Blocks.
I have a lot of respect for Lady Ga Ga. Can't stand the music, but, she is an artist.
What separates an artist from a performer is simple for me. Do they create their own music? If so, then, kudos to them. If not, they belong in the same trash heap as the 'king'.
Make sense?
