Didn't you know that your voice becomes an instrment??!!?? Have you not heard of Miriam Makeba??? I could describe a musician in many ways but to simplify it for you, I would define a musicain as an individual who masters the art of the music by which they are creating and that they create it with integrity so that it becomes meaningful to the listener. This could be a singer or an individual who plays an instrument. A musician is a person who can be creative, ingenious, inspiring and moves your SOUL. This is how I define a musician in relation to my own personal relationship with music.<BR/><BR/>There is no real need to say such dreadful things about Lady Fantasia as the SOUL that she brings to her artform can not be easily mimicked and can not be easily copied. Others try, but fail to bring what she brings. Whether she writes her own music or not, don't you think that it is ingenious what she then does with lyrics that she has not written, but however can interpret it and give the lyrics life and feeling that probably the person who wrote it could not have envisioned. THAT GIRL HAS GOT SOUL for such a young lady and where does this SOUL come from, now that is the question. When she sings, I am sure that the GODS are happy! Salute this lady and the other artists you knocked ie, Kerri Chandlier as what he has done to House music and what he still brings to the music today is something to be respected. He keeps the SOUL in House music and he keeps it RAW!!! Check out his early stuff. My man is DEEP, SEEN!!! Unfortunately not all people can play an instrument, but their instrument can be their voice or was you not aware of this!!! I could go deeper but I have to go and cook dinner so I hope you respect my reply Strobe light!!! <BR/><BR/>PS Didn't Black Sheep who you knocked in your email, didn't they do a track in the 90's called Strobe light ***<BR/>Check it out if you don't know it. Oh yea, you are right, some of the people Sir PE mentioned on his list I mentioned too! Isn't it just GREAT!! Doesn't it just show how rich we are when it comes to the quality of music we both listen too and have been inspired by!!! Maybe focus on the artists you have not heard of on my list and check them out. Help to keep music with integrity alive by buying such artist's music and feed your SOUL with THE GOOD STUFF!!! It will be an education... BELIEVE!!!<BR/><BR/>Nuff love and respect<BR/>Madamex<BR/>LondonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942943569892683154.post-39571796465515738252009-03-14T21:48:00.000-05:002009-03-14T21:48:00.000-05:00While some of the artists that Madame X listed were already on your list there are alot of people that she listed as musicians that are not.<BR/>Snoop Dogg TI Black Sheep? Kerri Chandler? Fantasia can't even read if you can't read then how can you create music?????She doesn't she sings music provided which makes her a singer. Those are not musicians.<BR/>I don't know I guess my idea of a musician is someone who creates music.<BR/><BR/>-Strobe Light HoneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942943569892683154.post-70821890886943171862009-03-14T17:40:00.001-05:002009-03-14T17:40:00.001-05:00What a fabulous list you have compiled!
