what do you mean with "better for an artist"? it would definite be
better for my finances if I made music that everyone likes...of
course. I always wonder when i hear for an example Jessica Simpson,
does she really like her crap version of "take my breath away"? or
does she just laugh at her way to the bank....I really hope she laugh.
For me in an artistic way i think it´s more important that i like
it...then i of course hope more people likes it so i can get
motivation to make and record more music....but this is no news...or
is it?
