A desire to create and for it to be appreciated.

I don't think Britney has written or "created" anything in her life.

She is merely than, a performer.

So the question is, are non - creative performers still artists?

As it is a matter of performing, then she is a performing artist.Is an actor an artist? It can be more honest than brushing a canvas with a yard broom and giving the illusion of a textured surface, especially when the cost of one of these canvases can amount to ten thousand pounds,

Agreed, but I wouldn't call her a creative musical artist, merely a performance artist.

To what degree one can add artist, to performance is another matter.

Interesting side not, I believe the legal definition that defines porn or obscenity, has to do with the lack of artistic value, and "the explicit depiction of sexual subject matter with the sole intention of sexually exciting the viewer." :whistling:

1. Is all music a work of art?

More questions to come. :stoned:
