Great question !

Regardless of what you think of her music I must confess that she's the
ONLY performer of late that excites me visually in the manner that Bowie
performances used to. Her costumes are actually exciting.... a recent outfit
with a "lit" vertebra wrapped around her reminded me of the 1980 Floor
Show....and a performance where she sang a dance song then broke a glass
cage w/ a piano inside and entered to conclude with a ballad (all with a fire
backdrop no less) was quite brilliant. And more importantly her performances
appear credible....minus the 1-2-3-4 right-left, left-right "looks
like we're rehearsing" style of virtually everyone from Britney to Madonna.
