This takes me back several months (June 2007) to a thread about whether both
music:groups and music:artists_singular should be marked up as
organisations:

At the time Scott Reynen suggested:

If it's just a generic contact that you know nothing about, I'd say just use
fn, as adding org is potentially incorrect information. But if you know it's
a music act, I think it makes sense to consider even an individual
performer's name to be an organization name in that context. I'd say there's
a difference, for example, between Norah Jones the person, who would be
<span class="fn">Norah Jones</span>, and Norah Jones the musical act, which
would be <span class="fn org">Norah Jones</span>.

Agreed. The problem also arises with artists like Eminem, Madonna, Prince.
How is fn optimisation supposed to work here?
