No, on the contrary. A basic technical ability is only the starting point (As a singer once put it: If I had no technique, I could only weep). It is a thorough understanding of the musical content that is essential for being able to express it in an interesting way. > Or > > that artistry is earned, not claimed? > > > > And just who is the official judge of who has or > hasn't earned the title of "artist." That is your audience, I would say.
