"sexuality-wise, the jury’s out. she kissed a girl. she liked it. and then she faced a barrage of criticism from both stuffy conservatives and a (slightly more effeminate) backlash from the gay community. yet somehow, her place as one of pop’s hottest new faces already seems assured. debut album one of the boys has already sold a million copies and, with saucily-attired live performances regularly playing to sell-out crowds, her success shows no sign of slowing down. in short, she’s the 21st century’s britney spears. only with more musical attitude, a less conventional look and a healthier mental state."
