[Jamiet99uk]

Actress?

Yes.

An actress is an artist . . .

You said "singer, etc.." implying you were talking about music artists. I generously included, in my answer, that she was not a musical artist of any kind, singer or otherwise. Thus I feel it was also clear that I was answering on the basis that you were talking about musical artists, as opposed, for example, to painters or sculptors.

Senator, it's your go.

Yes.

An actress is an artist . . .

You said "singer, etc.." implying you were talking about music artists. I generously included, in my answer, that she was not a musical artist of any kind, singer or otherwise. Thus I feel it was also clear that I was answering on the basis that you were talking about musical artists, as opposed, for example, to painters or sculptors.

The parenthetical "singer, etc." merely clarified that I was not limiting the term "Artist" to to painters and the like. Without the parenthetical, the question could have been interpreted as including painters and the like, while excluding singers and the like.

Well in that case your question was vague and open to misinterpretation.
