Even though my question was not who`s to be called a musician or not, but rather "Why do so many females want to become singers", I have another one:
Isn`t a musician a profession/occupation/job description? At least it`s in the German language...No matter how good one is, as long as they make enough money to live from it you`re a musician. Personally I`d rather go with the quality indicator though;-))
