yeah.....although in some extreme cases some people's taste in music really DOES suck. Actually sometimes what they like couldn't even be considered art......just entertainment, i can respect any for of music (not like, but respect) as long as they're truthful and it's about the art, when it's not though, i have NO respect for it at all, because frankly they're soiling all true music by even calling there entertainment art. Britney Spears is NOT an artist, she was neither poet, choreographer, (or in most cases melody writer) for any of her "music". Therefore she is a entertainer, which is why it disgusts me to even see her called an artist.
An artist is a creator not a presenter or entertainer

yes, but do you seriously call dancers artists? unless they actually choreograph their own work. like he said, an artist creates something.

I agree. I was actually going to mention that. How can it be called art when you haven't created it yourself? She doesn't make up all those dance moves, they are created by other "artists" and taught to her.
Without you I'm as good as
dead ...
exactly she is presenting it, she is the guitarist's guitar, or the painters paint...but she is NOT a artist

ok so that way this doesn't turn into an argument I think we can all agree that Britney Spears is not an artist 
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

i'm not insulting you, but you are not "creating" you are presenting moves that you have learned, now of course if your adding your own stuff to the existing moves then of course you are, same for covers, if you are adding new parts to it then you are creating. Infact that's what makes a good cover, if the artist and take it and add to it so it is there own in a way. People that just play the exact same thing, and sing it the exact same way are useless......we go and see the origanal

You know... a lot of great artists start out by imitating other people's works. Not saying Britney Spears will become one... It just happens, I guess. A lot of great bands had to make their start as cover bands.

they improvise alot too, unless it's a classic, and even in those cases, the way things are said are sposed to convey emotion

ahh i think we're getting off topic of my original point, i meant Brittney spears and her ilk are in no way artists, i never said dancers wern't, i said dancers that don't think up there own stuff arn't, and even if brittney does make up the odd kick it hardly qualifies her as an artist, no more so then painting a box makes you an artist, my post was mainly directed at music
