Finally, I don't get her either. I totally understand that she's pretty and a fairly good singer. But I mostly see her as an "entertainer". There are lots of singers who just know how to entertain an audience without necessarily being very talented.
I never listen to her (or a lot of the current pop stars) voluntarily. But lately I 've been "forced" into it against my will. I work in a restaurant and before we open, there's a lot of prep work going on. One of the girls, college student, blasts Taylor Swift out of her phone. Drives me nuts!
When I was her age I used to enjoy catchy tunes with the insipid, crappy lyrics of pop tunes sung in reedy thin voice. But nowadays my old lady ears want to close up when I hear that stuff. When I go home after work, I have to "wash the pop" out of my ears. I usually play a Fifth Dimension CD, Creedence, The Temptations, or country singers like Mark Chesnutt or Brooks and Dunn. All singers who can really sing!
