She is endlessly perplexing to me in that she is one of the few pop stars (and yes, she is a star) who makes me so angry that I cannot pay attention to her music. Usually I am able to at least somewhat divorce personality from songcraft and evaluate them separately. And objectively evaluated, I should probably enjoy her ("wacky" female musician, big synthy production)… and yet, no. Perhaps it is reaction formation. I suppose it is a testament to the strength of her… whatever it is she's calling it now- I guess "art" is the preferred shorthand- that she can provoke so strongly. But that doesn't mean I have to like it, or change my ways.

"Just Dance" is absolutely horrid though. I know that much to be true.
