Artist

There is a difference between art and performance.

There is a projection of emotion from an artist. Every color they painted in a drawing, every note they made in a music, and every word they enchanted in a poet means something. It was something that moved you so much that you was not even able to hide yourself, merely allowing your emotion to overcome yourself.

Whereas, a performance might excite you, but you turn out lose yourself and did not feel a thing eventually. It was sensational, but it was not touching.

Therefore, there was a difference between Chopin and Liszt, Yundi Li and Lang Lang, U2 (the 90's) and U2 (the current one), and Radiohead and Muse.

He is heavily driven by his emotion. Without it, he cannot do anything. With he, he can create the wonders. In contrast, a performer can sing 1000 times love songs, just he was asked to. It was industrial and automatic.

I could not sing "Nothing's gonna change my love for you" now, according to my roommate.
