artist

There's a difference in levels of art. Pop singers are at a very low level compared to such greats in music as Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Strauss, Borodin, Mussorgski, Tchaikovski, etc. Eminem in music and Andy Warhol in painting are rank amateurs compared to Beethoven and Rembrandt. They are hardly worthy of being called artists and only parody such a fine word.
