That's the only thing that kind of bugs me about her. I love, love, love the Paparazzi video. But then, I just went to the Billy Joel/Elton John concert last night and had an embarrasingly good time. So I wouldn't trust my own judgment. For someone who appears to be playing a joke on the world, she seems to take herself very seriously. That's the only thing that kind of bugs me about her.

Sure, she's corny, but I don't understand all the hate. Girl has talent. Yes, I want to jump on this train too!

In an age where you can find a ton of celebrities on Twitter being accessible and human, god help us, she's an old-fashioned enigmatic famous person. And she's managed this without becoming a sex symbol (sort of) and while displaying actual singing and songwriting talent. This sold me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP8SrlbpJ5A But I'm an inveterate fan of really catchy pop music, so.
