@yxsarvik And I feel sorry for you if you can't separate the artist from the person, if only because you will be missing out on some great music if you don't. Artists - just like people in general - are still human, and their actions/conduct rarely are black or white. In most cases, it's really just different shades of gray. Don't get me wrong, far be it for me to be preachy (you can listen to whomever you want for whatever reasons you want), it just seems to me that you will most likely miss out on a lot of great music if you only enjoy a song if it reflects an artists true personality/opinions (besides I don't really think you can ever be sure of an artists true personality just by listening to his/her/their songs; a lot of them have probably mastered the art of deception to suit their own needs or are writing lyrics to cater to a certain audience and maintain a certain fanbase whithout actually "practicing what they preach" so to speak). That's just how I see it!

@yxsarvik Personally, when I listen to a song or watch an artist perform I don't find myself thinking if the artist is being truthful, if the lyrics reflect his personality or not. I'm more concerned with things like : was the song relevant to me, did it stir any emotion in me or make me reminesce about something in my past, did it make me happy/sad/angry or set me in a certain mood, did it help to brighten my day or get me through the ups and downs of everyday life? If the answers to these questions is yes than the artist deffinately has earned my respect and appreciation regardless of wether or not the song expressed his true feelings/personality/opinions. If you think every song out there is written based on personal experience or reflects the artist's personality than you are being naive. Alot of artists don't even write their own songs, some write to suit the latest trends whithout giving honesty and soul baring any thought etc..

What affair? hmmm... I'm glad i don't watch/read the news. And i support Shadowboro there. I like the artists, i dont care much about the persons. Why do people care about personal lives of other people that they will never have something with? If everyone lived their life and not somebody elses this world would be a good place to live in.

@ArctorTroy So what? I hate it when people can't separate the artist from the person. Personally I don't care if she had an affair and ended breaking up two couples in the process, just like I don't care that Freddie Mercury / Elton John / George Michael are gay, Michael Jackson had some screws missing, Whitney Houston and "x" other artists where drug addicts etc. What has that got to do with the quality of their music and their value as artists? I see that you are a MJ fan. Given the allegations surrounding him in the years prior to his death, I wouldn't be so quick to judge Leann. Besides, affairs are quite common in these times we live' lots of people have one (or more) and get away with it. So why shouldn't artists have them as well? The only difference is they don't have the benefit of privacy (& anonimity) that the other common people have, so when they have one it always ends up on the front page and it's there for everybody to see, instead of being a private matter.
