After listening to big chunks of three of her tunes I can say I find the voice to be good, but it and/or the material would have to be different ("better," IMO) to make me get out the credit card. I'm a little surprised there's such a big stink about her in particular. I just don't hear a really characteristic voice that makes me say, "wow, I'd know that voice anywhere and the sound of it knocks me out." I find some of her effects to be contrived but that's true of many good singers. But, again, I don't blame her for the hype.
