I think the comments here are strangely judgmental about both her and her stuff
I'll bite, Val. My tone below is somewhat spiteful: caveat--it's directed at the purveyors of pop, not you personally.
It's not just her, it's the entire genre of monotonous 1-4-5 pop with vapid lyrics about drunkeness and hook-ups, and a public persona deeply imbued with pro-promiscuity messaging that depends on the sexual objectification of women and girls. The producers of these albums get all twitchy every three measures and have to hit the tonic switch lest the drive to a major third jar the top-40 audience's ears. These are corporate jingles stretched out to 3 minutes, and they bear as much resemblance to music as a plate of half-eaten French fries does a Matisse.
So, as both a feminist and someone trained in music, I think much of the heavily engineered pop is atrocious. But that's one person's opinion in a free market, and you're obviously free to disagree. I will give you a hat tip for Green Day, though; they were 10 years ahead of their time.
