Kate Bush is no doubt a highly talented musical artist.
Would you consider her a genius in the music world?

Not sure if genius is a word I would use, but she's certainly the closest there is out there for a female artists. PJ Harvey and maybe Bjork close behind.

What a dreadful musical world where PJ Harvey and Bjork represent the pinnacle of female musical talent. I'm glad I don't live there.

Better than Oingo Boingo, lesser than Peter Gabriel, about equal to (let's call it slightly better than) Nick Cave. Draw your own conclusions.

I'd say so.
She has a particular, seemingly effortless talent for placing eccentric, interesting ideas within a context that has (reasonably) wide appeal. She's simultaneously a proper pop star and a person who follows her own decidedly idiosyncratic muse. She manages to do this without obvious compromise. Within that balance lies her 'genius'.

There is no noun that cannot be verbed.

I would say that if there is such a thing, she definitely, definitely is one of a precious few who deserves that mantle.
She would probably be the last to say so.
GOOD SKY YOU'VE GOT HERE McCINTYRE..WELL DONE!!!

Depends on how you define musical genius. I wouldnt argue against her being called one.

No, because only men can be musical geniuses. Everyone knows this.
