I voted yes for it being normal only because it annoys me too. Just for a different reason. I wouldn't call Britney Spears an artist. She doesn't write her own songs. And in my eyes she's a singer by profession not by skill. Just like T-Pain. More than anything she is a performer. I think that in popular music (aka pop music not referring to all mainstream stuff) anyone is marketable with the right smoke and mirrors. Few artists have any skill. Off the top of my head I can only think of Adele as a true pop artist, singer and performer. Simply because she writes her own music, shes a great singer (sans autotune!) and she performs it. I truly believe that there are more artists in Indie, in Rock and in Rap than any other genres
IIN I find it annoying when a singer is referred to as an artist?
