^Again, you are acting like your personal taste in music is an objective information. It isn't.

And she isn't following "popularity standarts" as much as she is following an aesthetic she herself made popular, considering Blackout is the blueprint for much of was made in pop-music from 2009 to 2013 (Rolling Stone goes as far as considering it the most influential pop album of the last years).

I also disagree that filtering your voice (as not everything is autotune) doesn't mean taking the emotion out of it... As you can check on sad-robot-song It Should Be Easy.

edit:
About her albums... IMO very few popstars out there can put out one album on the same level of quality of In The Zone, Blackout and Femme Fatale. Her music is really underrated
