Not to defend her music itself because it is crap but it was at least the Album of the summer. Could you go for a drive this summer without hearing someone blasting it from there car?
It really comes down to the definition of 'good music'. Is it commercially successful, technically proficient, ground breaking, or music that is really good but no one knows about. Or has the music affected our culture and buying habits.
Take Bieber for example, from Tom Brady copying his hair to producing a movie that opens at number one he has become a cultural product of all that is terrible about modern celebrity through his music. As much as I hate everything that he represents he or his machine probably deserve an award for doing it the best.
The definition of 'art' is something impossible to define and many times critics enjoy using expanded knowledge of an 'art' to make themselves appear smarter or better.
