She has some seriously noticeable lips, but otherwise I wouldn't pick her out of a pop lineup. Please tell me why she's seen as so special that she's all over the place all the time. (Again, I'm not asking anybody to defend, just to explain.)

1.Weeelll, if you're a lyrics person, her lyrics are deep like Stevie's in a 90's way - ie, they sound shallow, but are actually really deep. You'd have to catch up on the whole back catalogue. She says unusual, light things, that actually have way more meaning. She turns a quick phrase, if you will.
2.She's a really good, energetic, live performer
3.She has Charisma in her videos, and live, to last until the next century.
4.She has a good voice, she sings well, and her band is good, too. Her voice is unusual and distinctive, mannered, yet masterful.
5. She picks great people to work with, I think she did her solo with Jimmy Iovine? and she picks great other talent to work with. Even with rote songs, something about the sound/or production, or an unusual and awesome "guest voice" or anything, will be somewhat unusual. Eve.
6. She is really, really, really charismatic in most of her videos.
7. She has unusual fashion sense, and used to make many of her clothes herself. I encourage you to watch the "trapped in a box" and "spiderwebs" videos. Actually, I ecourage you to watch all of the bands, and her solo, videos.
8. She's hawt, which is, thankfully, the very least of her talents.

Gwen.
She's hella crazy.
and believe me, I don't like a bunch of new stuff. I don't think everyone is talented.
