The whole point is visibility and reward. If she were singing in a neighborhood pub, I might be clapping politely over a pint and forget her the next day. She's been given a coveted spot on SNL, which kinda demands an explanation of merit. What did she do to deserve this spot? As I said, I cannot find any plausible explanations in what I've heard; thus, I am interested in what others see in it.
This is not about personal tastes, i.e. "like" and "not like", per se. As an example, I don't like country music, as a whole musical genre. It's too boring and primitive for my taste. However; from a performing angle, I think Garth Brooks is very talented musician even though there is not a single song of his that I like or listen to. In other words, one doesn't have to like something to appreciate it's merits.
