Category talk:Vocalist

Hmm... Themonkeyofdoom said earlier that this category should only be used for band/group vocalists, but I'm proposing it should be used for all singers because there are some artists that only do instrumental music, like Oshio Kotaro. (He doesn't have a page at the time of posting, so here's his Wikipedia entry.) --Lambchopsuey 18:41, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I still feel like they shouldn't be loped together in the same category. If I was talking to someone I wouldn't say "You know that vocalist, Hamasaki Ayumi?", I'd say "You know that singer, Hamasaki Ayumi?" We can deffinatly create something like Category:Instrumentalists for artists like Oshio Kotaro. Maybe we should make it like this: Singer for people like Hamasaki, Vocalist for singers of bands/groups, and Singer-Songwriter for all the people who write their own music & lyrics. What do you think? ~ Themonkeyofdoom 22:10, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Lol true, you would not say "Hamasaki Ayumi the vocalist," but aren't "singer" and "vocalist" synonyms anyway? I think having both Category:Singer and Category:Vocalist would be kind of redundant, unless we'd want to separate solo singers from group singers. Category:Instrumentalists would be good. :) --Lambchopsuey 19:21, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
