She is overrated and pure hype

But I am interested in hearing your opinion.
I do think she is quite overrated but she is iconic. Her image and her music has inspired countless young girls into feminism. The way her persona has been created is an art in itself almost. Her music videos and live performances have led her to be one of the most powerful and strongest women in the world right now. That iconic image certainly shines through in her music too.
And to boot she's got some great songs. I firmly believe songs like Crazy In Love and especially Countdown are iconic and will one day be legendary.
