This morning I woke up with "Paparazzi" in my head and the distinct impression that it had SOUNDTRACKED MY DREAMS all night!

...In general, though, I'm puzzled why her songs aren't better than they are - they're all sort of 75% there, and surely it can't be that difficult? I expect improvement on the second album.

(She seems to appeal a lot to what in Montreal one calls Crescent St. girls - the high heels & tight jeans mainstream club-going Perez-reading contingent - and to non-theoretical artsy types, like painters and fashion stylists/designers. I actually think the latter recognize that her message isn't original but are delighted that there is someone currently pushing through that message on a hugely popular scale, in the same way that dubstep fans are happy Skream got a gold record.)

OTM re: Crescent St.ers. Although, she has surprising traction within certain parts of the indie scene (granted, it's within those segments that are painters and fashion stylists/designers)...the same segments of the scene that are likely to do a lot of blow and go see MSTRKRFT or Uffie or whoever.
