I'm with you on this, but of course the problem isn't the Madonna's and the Conor McGregor's its the 20 lads we all know who are trying to do this and failing miserably and there's no talking to them.
Even in the little world of Prince fandom it's amazing how many of his associates tried to do the solo thing like he did (write, record, play, produce all your stuff yourself) and all stalled. I'm more or less of the opinion that if you're in the position to be able to analyse "that drive" then you don't have it.
There was probably an element of them trying to emulate someone else's career path and hoping it goes exactly the same rather than trying to find their own route. Maybe they were concentrating too much on trying to become the next Prince instead of going for something new.
It's something me and my brother were talking about a little while ago. We were just saying that we've never thought "I like X band, I'm going to listen to Y because they sound exactly like X"
