Talented, yes - but I don't think her talent justifies the extent of her pretension.

Essentially I find her inherently vacuous - not that most pop music isn't, but for someone who talks incessantly about ambition and performance art, she really does have nothing to say, little emotion to convey and even less for anyone to identify with. Visually it's a spectacle, sure, but isn't art supposed to be either aesthetically pleasing or meaningful? If that's not the point, then what is? (Regarding the VMAs, I think most people were too busy laughing at her completely OTT tribute to tampons to get any actual "message" from that performance.)

Regardless, I wish her luck on the miniscule chance that she genuinely has potential to achieve something great. If not, seeing her go down in flames would be far more interesting than a thousand bland, formulaic Max Martin pop productions.
