Ke$ha: Classic or Dud?

song is terrible, farrah abraham stole her swag

It's not terrible, it's okay. Just seems like rehashed Kesha on autopilot, though.

if you stay away for that long and come back with something that boring as your lead single, the bar is raised to the point that mediocre is terrible

yeah, this song is just okay. i can't help but think that black sabbath with dio have already mastered a "die young" song

i am not enthusiastically one way or the other for this yet... perhaps a music video will tip the scales

altho yes, i am a little underwhelmed compared to expectations for a lead single

this just sounds like another Dr. Luke track. was Dr. Luke involved with "Good Feeling"? it sounds like that. somewhat surprising that lack of prominent autotune neither works for or against it.

anyway, it's kind of nice.

hmmm yes, it does sound like "good feeling" -- which dr. luke did produce

Kind of reminds me of Starships, which is probably the only song of the last year or so that will get more play at DC gay places than this.

Heard the new one for the first time on the radio today right after that awful Owl City/CRJ song. It started off sounding basically exactly the same, and then there was a chorus about dying young and I was like whaaa and then I realized it was Ke$ha and it was almost like an antidote to the song I had just heard. I like it.

i don't expect a sophomore album's lead single to a pop album to ever break new ground, though this doesn't sound quite like her other big leads

luke and co seem totally uninspired tho with that dance breakdown. love the verses, reminds me of fall out boy in a way

I think the chorus is pretty good. The verses sound like "Starships" and "Wild Ones".

i was long since won over to "classic" but mannnn

hahahahahahahaha

also, URL of the year

lol

Everything about the URL is perfect ("tag=dirt-bag" prob my favourite unexpected ending), I'm not going to spoil it by reading the article.

i really, really like "die young"

when "Teenage Dream" came out I thought the "dance until we die" bit could've made a good refrain for a song on its own, but I didn't think it actually would be recycled on another Dr. Luke track years later

so i think this has finally leaked in full

"c'mon" is pretty great

yeah, it's all pretty great? disappointed in the lyrics changes in the final version of the song with the strokes but that's some a++ indiebro trolling.

lot more mixing up her K$ party side and the 'animal'-type stuff within songs, but overall it's a pretty solid album, i think.

much better than i expected after 'die young' (which has already grown on me, so, you know)

i'm not listening to the leaks but please tell me she didn't change the 'dancing with my hand' line

:(

my favourite verse is indeed gone. sigh.

i don't think you understand / i've been dancing with my hand / now i think i need a man RIP

i sing it overtop the current version.

the new instrumentation is pretty boss though.

NOOOOOOO that was the best and i just knew that was going to happen

"Only Wanna Dance With You" is NYC circa 2002 way too late.

i guess "love into the light" is like her doing a ballad? sorta shocking but i really like it

this album overall is p good

i think people are afraid to admit to like ke$ha for some reason, she is less respectable than other pop stars. but Warrior is really solid. c'mon, especially, is pretty awesome. it captures adolescent "yearning" much better than any of the katy perry songs that, i think, go for a similar effect. the problem is that every ke$ha song has at least a few especially dumb lyrics that don't succeed in being charming. good thing i am able to zone out and not hear the lyrics pretty easily...

cmon, all that matters, love into the light = stone cold classics

i love c'mon (set me free ke$ha) but most of warrior was really disappointing for me. "gold trans am"'s fun. loved all the stuff on the debut/ep about being poor: "we take the drinks from the tables when you get up and leave em", etc.. loved the b-side about wanting to fuck her history teacher.

taylor swift's ke$ha isn't as fun as her paramore.

"Gold Trans Am" is the only I kept.

"this song makes me want to have sex in my car"... gold trans am is classic. and yeah, i mean, obviously the album is dodgy and inconsistent. i have a bad habit of declaring an album "good" or "solid" if it has more than three songs i like on it, which leads to confusion sometimes.

Her music sounds like Uffie for people who shop at Walmart.

this is response hof, btw

"C'Mon" was the first single i liked, also her first to miss the top 10. i think she's maybe done.

things are looking pretty desperate -- her next single has had will.i.am tacked onto it for the single edit

also yeah, the new album did basically nothing for me the first time i heard it (when it was streaming before release). i think i liked the greg kurstin track toward the end and then "c'mon". radio play and social situations have kind of (barely) warmed me up to "die young" but otherwise the album was a disappointment and i haven't listened to it again since that first time

Fucking classic just for Tik Tok

agreed

piss test is not the same as cinnamon challenge, news at 11

markers alert

ke$ha asks herself aloud - "where would you go if today the world ended? and they were like you have an hour before the world ends, 1 hour?"

ke$ha answers - "i would go to 7-11"

i watched an episode of ke$ha's show and unfortunately it was painful

http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/stop-the-presses/does-ke-stage-show-rip-off-residents-193446304.html

from ke$ha to ke-ha to ke. like Ye.

(statements that will confuse time travelers)

Can't wait for Ke$hu$ tbh.

i keep getting offers from LivingSocial every day for half price tickets for a club show she's got coming up

usually a sign things aren't selling too well. i remember Guns N Roses' last hockey arena show had a groupon or something....but i guess i thought ke$sha was relevant with today's kool teens and shit? who knows.
