Tell me this: Is Iron Maiden objectively better than Godsmack?
Objectively better
AT WHAT?
I don't know a damn thing about Godsmack beyond what I'm reading on Wikipedia. I imagine Maiden has sold more albums, but that shouldn't be surprising given that Maiden has been around a lot longer and has way more albums.
On the other hand, Godsmack appears to have 4 Grammy nominations to zero for Maiden.
Once again, asking whether something is "objectively better than" something else, you have to be clear about the relevant criteria. As you phrased the question, it is utterly meaningless.
Justin Bieber is talentless.
He is just a singer/performer, not an artist. He hasn't one single characteristic of an artist. Compare him to widely appreciated artists as Bowie, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, Miles Davis, etc. What is he compared to them? Artist? Come on.
His hits could be written by nearly everyone (including you or me).
Objectively he is one of the most hated singers on this planet, because the masses of people easily recognized his music is garbage.
And I don't think it's just an opinion, it's the truth.
Oh, for fuck's sake!
Justin Bieber has sole more than 150 million records. He made a movie that was seen by millions and made millions of dollars in profit. He is a MASSIVELY popular. He is a hugely successful business person who has made millions on multiple business ventures. If he's "talentless" and "objectively . . . one of the most hated singers on this planet," how has that happened? While he might very well be hated by a lot of folks, it also seems to be an
objective fact that he is also one of the most
LOVED singers on the planet" (after all, one can be both "most hated" and "most loved").
He's "just a singer/performer, not an artist"? Well...ok, if you define "artist" not to include "singers," but I think you'd be on that island alone. Also, (1) Justin Bieber plays multiple instruments, and (2) wasn't Marvin Gaye also "just a singer/performer"? Do you have to be primarily a player of a musical instrument to be considered an "artist"? What about Ella Fitzgerald or Billie Holliday? Were then "just singers/performers, not artists"?
