What does the artist live on?
They say that an artist is because your audience, the applause is their food, but also often say that the artist is starving, they cry that is a hippie or a drug addict, they say brands are sold. They also say that once you pass "fame" artists cease to exist.
Beyond that, when an artist makes art, is connected with an energy that goes beyond itself, it is a power that allows you to join several people in one voice, in one dance.
Is likely to Pop, not just a genre but a musical way becomes "popular" music, everyone knows the artist and his songs, go to their concerts and buying their albums.
There are more famous than others, or more irreverent artists, although his art is difrente itself, some change their name to "a stage name," his art becomes the voice of several people, then progaga from the crowd, and it becomes a legend or not.
Lady Gaga from her "Just Dance" and "Po-po- po- po- po- po- ker Face" has made inroads with its peculiarity, from its name to the clothes he wears or not, a musical style very commercial, but letters that have a message.
Yes, I think she has a message with her dance and vocal quality. First, because "commercial" does not exceed talent but becomes an arena to show something more than a body, makeup and music made by computer.
Second, he knew avail themselves of Pop to represent a community, be the spokeswoman for something; irreverence attention. In itself, it does not matter, Lady Gaga caught your attention by being "herself".
In the global pop culture are Madonna, Britney Spears, Shakira, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, finally, continue adding names, Pop soloists or groups seeking to become incónos; either with a new song or artist; that although it is an element of interest, keep in memory it is the challenge of each.
At first glance does not seem that Gaga has any idea what it does, but respecting the work and careers of artists in general, this Lady knew made itself a piece of art, against all barrier "normal", as it should be.
An artist must not, can not be "normal" because art comes from there, to create, to shape reality, raw and faithful, but in a way that causes you to dance, sing, shout, you can feel what passes around. Quue affects you so rhythmically.
This song, I love not only for its catchy sound, but because it is a song that involves the artist and the public, is intended, it's a matter of experiential type, which speaks of "one on one", artist and audience. There, anyone can be what you want to be (artist or public), there with a song, music teaches you to be the same.
If you ask me what an artist lives, first remember that artists are people, they are human, they need to eat, drink, go to the doctor. In the same way they need to feel loved, to shout his name, to sing his songs. But from the most basic sense they are just as deadly.
The question is no longer lives What an artist, is why a person wants to be an artist?
An artist lives because remember, because they listen to their songs and because there are people who know it by heart, they know his name regardless of language. An artist lives because the public does immortal; from Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston, John Lennon and Michael Jackson, to Celia Cruz, Hector Lavoe and Simon Diaz.
This song "Applause" helped me to understand that a person is only a person, but the artist is immortal, he does art, not a product; he creates art, has the ability to create, not fight for fame or money, but to be immortal, to remain in your memory without you noticing, that dances or sing the same reality they feel.
But even for a simple person immortality it is dangerous and even lethal.
While not think so, let us sing and dance that that is what made the music, to feel.
