Right, first of all, this is (kinda) my opinion and also focuses on commercial pop artists so don't @ me!
I have been fascinated with this topic for a LONG time and had many arguments/discussions with various musician friends about it. I've heard the standard points; 'X factor is shit', 'go to watch local bands who are GOOD', 'people who write their own songs are BETTER'. In reality, I think these points are completely subjective and very generalised. To me, there are five factors that make an artist successful: 1. songwriting 2. timing 3. branding/image 4. musical ability 5. like-ability/charisma |
