I don't care if she looks like a ****ing doily, I just want to hear her music and see her perform.
Musically, there's little to fault. She writes great songs, and whilst a lot are repetitive (I'm getting tired of hearing "eh" and the generic-Red-One beat), the majority are not. Plus she cites Queen and Bowie as influences...which, well, I have a hard job seeing in her actual material (it's rather like Tinie Tempah citing Metallica as a musical influence, really) so I'm sure it's more of an aesthetic thing.
Ultimately I guess my issue is with the current music scene rather than her - she's just played it very well.

You just dont get her mate. Play Paparazzi backwards. It's all about 9/11 victims neurological apathy towards the art world.
