To me it just looks overexposed.
I have to agree with you. Perhaps I'm just not familiar with extreme high key, but from looking at this shot I am not a fan of the style. The highlights are very lacking in any detail, and I personally like a lot of detail in a photograph. Her face has some detail, but there are a lot of areas in the photo where the lack of detail are distracting. Her arms, shoulders and parts of her head really get lost in the harsh light, and even her eyebrows and other facial details are lost in the blown out areas of the portrait.
Granted that I'm not familiar with shooting high key shots because I'm not a fan of them, but I think this shot could have been done better by relying more on the lighting to get that high key light, whereas in this shot it looks like either the aperture was too wide open or shutter too slow, or perhaps both resulting in an over exposed shot. Just not enough detail to me.
Thanks for the comments. It's a little bit like saying you don't like b&w photography because there isn't enough color.
