I mean...She has three-ish awesome songs and a bunch of rubbish songs, most of which are catchy to a greater or lesser degree. She's one of the first "pop stars" in quite some time to approach it in an all-encompassing package-type conceptual matter and has somehow managed to become massively popular.
Her voice annoys me. I think her "concept" is nowhere near as smart as she thinks it is and her performance/interpretations of said ideas can be insanely grating. She's massively overrated. But I can't quite deny what she's doing, even if I think she's doing it wrong, or shouldn't be doing it at all, or has misplaced goals re: pop things she wants to do.

It's quite the conundrum.
