I've often seen this reasoning for not liking Gaga and I've always found it embarrassing for the person saying it because of what it insinuates. That is that the person likes the singing and appreciates the voice but finds the theatrics and style and celebrity too distracting. It's like they can't handle an artist who can not only sing at an expert level, but also do things at an expert level. Like ok obviously the ARTPOP music isn't the best, but Born This Way's music is very good yet people were saying "oh she's so overrated" or whatever. Like her ability to make artistic videos, creative costumes and complex imagery as well as a smash hit with great vocals should not diminish her.
Like sure not liking the music is a valid reason, but not being able to differentiate between artist & music is a bit sad, and speaks poorly upon appreciation of art.
