It's funny to see which people are making fools of themselves again and again.
She was? Whoops. Obviously I'm not much of a fan >_> Curious to know about the countless other times I've made a fool out of myself, though. -- Full rap metal jacket ~ Method Man ... Copied to Clipboard!

Janis Lyn Joplin (January 19, 1943 October 4, 1970) was an American singer, songwriter, painter, dancer and music arranger. She rose to prominence in the late 1960s as the lead singer of Big Brother and the Holding Company and later as a solo artist with her backing groups, The Kozmic Blues Band and The Full Tilt Boogie Band. At the height of her career she was known as The Queen of Rock and Roll as well as The Queen of Psychedelic Soul. Rolling Stone magazine ranked Joplin number 46 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time in 2004,[1] and number 28 on its 2008 list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.[2]

I'm aware Janis Joplin was an artist in the music industry. I said she wasn't a musician because she didn't play an instrument. I make a distinction between vocalists and musicians.

From: Mr Lasastryke | #200 Of course. The evidence for the few ones I like there is "I like it" though. Evidence for the other side can't be "you like it" because I'm not sure if you've been tainted by "them" even though I'd like to believe you haven't been! There's also the fact that other abstract artists don't generally have work that looks like "something that could be generated with 10 plates of taco bell" as some dude so eloquently put it (paraphrased). -- No problem!

From: Mr Lasastryke | #205 ... I'm not sure if you're serious first of all, she did play guitar and autoharp second of all, vocalists are very much musicians. I don't see how you would ever make such a distinction. She also wrote her own songs, which makes her very much a musician at heart. I can see someone advocating that covering songs or not writing your own stuff doesn't make you a musician, but to say someone who sings and writes her own songs (as in, melodies too) is not a musician is ridiculous. -- http://img.imgcake.com/mosdefswaggifes.gif ...

That was yo. And well, again, that's subjective. Perhaps I think the abstract art you like looks like something that could be generated with 10 plates of Taco Bell. Perhaps something like that actually looks highly pleasant to some people. -- Full rap metal jacket ~ Method Man ... Copied to Clipboard!

If a thousand people said oranges were green, they still wouldn't be right.
The definitions of words don't fall out of the sky, they're decided by consensus. If languages would evolve in such a way that everyone on Earth would refer to what we now call "orange" as "green," then orange will be green. A vocalist is a musician and that's that really. Don't see why anyone would advocate otherwise Because there is no consensus for the word "musician." There are several definitions. I'm not attacking your definition, don't see why you have such a problem with mine. -- Full rap metal jacket ~ Method Man ... Copied to Clipboard!

By the way, as a music student myself, I just want to add that I happen to agree, 'musician' usually applies to someone who plays an musical instrument, an instrument being a tool created for doing something, so not the voice. I mean it's not something I would get really militant over, almost all really good vocalists at minimum dabble in some instrumentation anyway, but usually I only refer to someone as a musician if their primary talent is playing a musical instrument. I wouldn't refer to myself as a musician because I'm really only talented at composing and I feel like it would come across sounding like I can play a musical instrument well when I can't.
On the other hand, musician is the best catch-all term for whatever someone does when I don't feel like specifying. Oh, and Amy Winehouse. She had more musical talent than a lot of people give her credit for I think. I think some of her songs were okay. That's all I have to say about that one really. ... Copied to Clipboard!
