He sings. Singers have always been viewed as artists. Music is an art form. Not sure why it matters, but there you go.
Which makes him a performer. He's talented as a performer, I'll give you that. Would you consider backup singers artists? What about the church choir? Or someone copying a choreographed dance routine? To be an artist you gotta create something original. Simple as that. Not just perform a rendition of something created by someone else.
Singers / musicians = artists.
To answer your questions - yes, I would consider choirs and backup singers as artists. No point in arguing with me anymore...I consider artists singers and won't be changing that.
Do as you like, just be aware that you're not correctly applying the definition of the word.
