Singers Are Artists Too
2011-08-11 14:00:49
Anything that uses a medium as a form of self-expression or appeals to man's aesthetic sense can be called art. Although we often associate art with paintings, sculptures and other creations that can be displayed in a museum, the arts actually encompass so much more than these. Paintings, sculptures, woodworks, drawings and murals are only one type of art: the visual arts. Another type of art called the literary arts, also known as the arts of written work, includes poems, short stories, novels, etc. Still another type of art is the performing arts. The performing arts include play, drama, theater, music, magic shows, etc.
In the performing arts, the artist himself is the medium of expression---his face, his body and movement, his voice, his stage presence. This work of art therefore cannot exist separate from its artist. It involves an artist or a performer staging a show of talent in front of an audience, which he seeks to please.

A flawless demonstration of technique and skill without emotion will not be enough to satisfy an audience. The artist needs to reach out emotionally and connect to his audience in order to render an excellent performance.
This is truly a challenge for many performers. This means that singers for example, need not only have good voice quality or be technically-proficient. They should also be adept in conveying the correct emotion of the song to its listeners.
Because it takes creativity and self-expression to appeal to its audience, singers are artists, too. Even contemporary musicians like Jason Desrouleaux, more commonly known as Jason Derulo are artists, too. In fact, Jason Derulo songs such as "Watcha Say" and "In My Head" have appealed to the aesthetic sense of many people, making them hit the Billboard charts at 1st and 5th place, respectively in 2009.
With their musical genius and honest self-expression, it is not surprising to find many singers and performers excel in other forms of the performing arts as well.

Blessed with a rhythm for music, he is also a dancer and a choreographer. In his youth, he has also dabbed on theater acting, the opera and ballet.
Such artistic talent needs to be honed in order to be perfected. Although art is not meant to be a rigid discipline like science, one has to be educated and trained in the arts as well. Musical education is important as a singer needs to be guided with particular basic principles in music before he can elevate the level of his performance. He has to learn to read musical notes and distinguish among them. He also needs to have some knowledge about different music genre so he can expand his expertise and has to learn to play some musical instrument, if possible.
For in this age and time where competition is fierce in the music industry, being naturally-gifted with the right rhythm and good voice quality will only take a singer so far. He has to be armed with the proper knowledge and learn to take his artistry to a whole different level to succeed.
