"I mention some current examples of musicians getting picked over in the spotlight: Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Lily Allen, Lady Gaga, Sinéad O'Connor spring to mind.

"Well maybe those people are true provocateurs," she says. "But I'm really not and never have been. I don't think there's any shock value in my stuff – well, maybe the odd disconcerting lyric – but I think other people probably deserve the criticism, because they're eliciting it.""

She didn't lie. Artists like Miley and Gaga deliberately do certain things because they know it'll generate attention, and when you're selling a product that's what you're supposed to do.

they are coming lol, just wait.

She deserves some too.Overrated.

Hmmmm she has a point

She is right.
In b4 this is shade. No its not.

Thats true , most of them do go and do things just for the attention .....

She is right

She already got a lot of criticism, and she's still getting so stfu.

She has a point, but she deserves just as much criticism

"My ***** tastes like Pepsi Cola" is more than some damn "odd, disconcerting lyric"

Fully agree with this, though.

In the eyes of music criticism, being bland warrants as much criticism as being ostentatious. That's the way it is

As far as Gaga is concerned, even Gaga will admit that she sort of asks for the criticism with the things she wears/does. Lorde looks a bit out of place in the discussion though.
