How would you respond...

...to someone who asked you why you liked Ayu? Specifically, someone who knew nothing about her, and didn't particularly care for her music, or J-Pop at all?
My brother just asked me this while I was showing him a live performance of hers, and to be honest, I didn't quite know how to explain. "She's just a popstar," he said. I started to say that she's also a person, and that her lyrics are so honest, and have touched me, but I didn't really know how to make it clear. :s
