She was a really tough listen. Most everything she put out after 2010 was really low quality. But I had to concede to the fact that she single-handedly overturned the pop genre with fearlessness and, frankly, artistry. I'll admit she's quite a sore thumb sticking out amongst the rest, but some of her early melodies were just too damn catchy for me, and many musicians today can't write a lick to save their life.
