Politicians Speak much better than Musicians?

[Johnlomape]

It is understandable to see that musicians are not really prepared fot public speaking and it's unnecessary for us to compare a politician to a musical artiste that is only concerned with music and making the crowds to be in a musical rhyme. This is not the first time we are seeing big well known artistes not good at giving speech on stage because that is not what they are prepared for, music is different from public speaking and we dont have to relate it together. Most musicians are mostly on drugs and that is what usually give them the morale to speak on stage and make the atmosphere tremble for joy.

For me both have different worlds that they're operating from and they do talk better when they're in their areas of specialty they will always and are always comfortable. You see musicians are good when it comes to entertainment and do make good sense when it' comes to emotions and sounds while politicians are good when it comes to public speech, they're well trained when it comes to addressing the crowd or people, they're also good in words that will make people follow them or carry people along

The thing is that both a politician and musician has the place where they're are confident with and not that a musician can talk but when it comes to political settings that's when a politician comes in so both can talk when it comes to their zone of specialty

[Reatim]

the simple answer to this is that politicians have to address the public professionally as they often talk about serious issues but musicians aren’t really required to do the same. they often talk casually just like anyone would.

What do you think about the low level public speaking skill of musicians compared to politicians?

Musicians and Politicians?, these are two different occupations that doesn't blend too well.
I'm not exactly sure of what an artist should be doing in the midst of politicians other than performing their songs. Being musically inclined and politically inclined are two different thing. That aside, but since this particular observation was just from a particular artist, we can't really use that to generalize the entire music industry. Don't be surprise, some artist might be politically inclined, and can address people well. Someone like snoop dog shouldn't find it difficult I guess.

Politicians are trained to speak publicly and eloquently to convince people and buy their admiration and support while musicians are trained to thrill the crowds with their melodious voices, so they are not supposed to be a match in public speaking, although being able to address the public is a personal skill that should be learned by public figures.

Give the same politician a microphone and tell him to perform against a crowd and see the blunder they would commit on stage. They are two different profession. Such a comparison is one-sided.

Politicians are separate people from musicians and there is no need to compare them with each other. These two categories of people has there own platform they operate and it can be very hard to see musicians that are very good at public speaking due to how they work and display their talents. Politicians need to be good at public speaking for them to fit in to their work description.
It's very hard to see a politician that is not that good at public speaking and that is what their work requires.

I do not really care fr fr, seeing them both reminds me of the words from Malcom X about black entertainers, and artists.

Nicki is not the queen she claims to be and she's not the person they're forcing her to be likewise. She's just a clown and puppet doing all she can to have her pedophile husband and rapist brother pardoned by Donald Trump. A little bit of quid pro quo ( this for that ). At least, clear enough for the blind to see.

I know it's an unfair comparison, considering the diversity between the two careers, Politicians focus more energy on public speaking while musicians follow up sounds with emotional approach, but these two control a tremendous number of fans, and talk to them steadily or occasionally, yet musicians fail to deliver strong speeches. Last few hours at the signing of the Trump Account in DC, Nicki Minaj, a famous US rapper was invited on stage to address the politicians in the room, her tone wasn't strong as it should have been on a musical performing stage, she barely had structured words to say or a story to tell, would I say she wasn't expecting to be called on stage, but from the low level confidence in tone she exhibited, her speech didn't end too well, she did fine though, but not as expected, I don't know if I'm taking it too far.

i dont think you are wrong
musicians control crowds with performance and emotion not structured speech.
politicians are trained to talk frame ideas and stay sharp under pressure. totally different skill sets for both
havin a artist on a serious stage with no prep and no beat it can get very awkward fast. doesn’t mean they are bad though just out of their lane.

Does it mean that Musicians have little time to enroll for public speaking counsels or it's something they don't think of. Musicians have multiple reasons to learn public speaking not just for shows but to represent fans at all angle. The confidence to speak up anywhere or moment, should be high for recognized artists, fans and stans want to see celebrities display values and clarity through speeches.

You cannot expect a lion to eat grass or a goat to devour an antelop because by nature they are created to eat different things so don't expect someone that has devoted her life to learning music and writing lyrics to perform excellently in other fields. Except she has interest in politics and she has learnt how to flow on a political platform she will mostly not give her best. Likewise you shouldn't expect the best politicians that knows how to captivate audiences with their articulated speech to perform songs like professional musicians on stage. Practice makes perfect you can only be good at what you have devoted your time to learn.
