I'm surprised at your response, and it makes me wonder if you use erroneous information for typing.
It's common sense to say that someone at work can portray a different image. Salespeople can and often do turn it on to clinch the sale, as for mucisians and such, as they say, it's called show business for a reason.
That aside, there's an abundance of musical artists who produce the same style of music and have the same way of acting, it's called what's in vogue. Not a fan of this guy but not to get side tracked, but he's got to know something since he's been in the industry for a while,

It's pretty obvious that a lot of what we see when people are performing, will be controlled, so I agree non verbal and such is good to cut the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.
An artist marketed as a pop singer, won't engage in controversial statements, it's bad for sales.
But, there's no right or wrong really, I was just surprised when you said there's no evidence. Another one too -
Has image overtaken music - image is a really important part of branding. Maybe if an artist has been around longer, they got more chances to express themselves, on or off stage.
However, let's just enjoy the music and the films, it's not all doom and gloom ha, and there's many talented people and catchy tunes
