Ke$ha: Classic or Dud?

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

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.

Ke$ha: Relevant With Today's Kool Teens or Shit?

who knows

i would go to a half-price ke$ha club show

"this song makes me want to have sex in my car"... gold trans am is classic.

god yes.

picked up the deluxe edition of 'warrior' today for a couple of coins, along with the veronicas debut album, not knowing the connection, and that track totally hits the spot.

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.

just typed this exact post again almost verbatim except for the now-cryptic thing about taylor swift, glad i scrolled up during final pre-flight check

i did love the one about wanting to fuck the history teacher. ke$ha was much more interesting to me around that time... i guess it's possible she could start doing interesting things again now that she is 'reinventing herself' by dropping the $

holy shit http://www.stereogum.com/1711602/kesha-suing-dr-luke-for-sexual-assault-and-emotional-abuse/news/

omg!
wow.

Those allegations are crazy. I believe her.

didn't dr luke call her a refrigerator? i believe her.

agreed

and also, she is incredibly brave for pursuing this

jesus

ugh hope she's well

a refrigerator? meaning?

A refrigerator is large and bulky

Holds food

Is cool

Defensive lineman.

anyway who cares
i believe her

this lawsuit is going to get ugly fast

yeah they're really going to drag her thru the mud aren't they

also given the nature of her songs there is going to be a lot of "she liked it!" type comments coming from all over the place

I really don't want to see how this plays out because it is going to be so horrible. If her case is unsucessful it's likely that it's going to make so many victims reconsider coming forward.

I... can't, with this. But I wish her all the success in the world with her case. What she's been through sounds horrifying enough, (but yeah, I cringe at what's to come.)

luke countersuing & claiming extortion

But in Luke’s lawsuit … he says the pack of lies is being engineered by Kesha’s mother, Pebe, and Kesha’s new management firm. Luke claims Kesha tried to extort him by threatening to spread lies about him to a blogger who started a “Free Kesha” website unless he released her from her recording contract.

And Luke says in his lawsuit he’s had a copy of a draft of Kesha’s new abuse lawsuit for months, and she was threatening to file it if he didn’t release her. In other words, he’s alleging more extortion.

Yeah that did get ugly fast. Kesha's claims seem believable, though, and if they're true it'd be interesting to learn if this was part of a pattern of nasty behavior from Dr. Luke.

I have a lot of respect for Kesha. It seems like she's making a concerted effort to clean herself up, fix the things that are making her unhealthy and unhappy, etc, and that's hard for somebody to do in her position. Seems like this is part of that push so I wish her the best

So what if she was trying to leverage anything out of this if it's true. If it is true, this guy needs to be in cuffs.

also people unable to distinguish between an artist's stage persona and an artist's basic human needs and rights are the worst people

xp will be curious if this gets pursued criminally, seems like there would need to be more/some? hard evidence

Most of these allegations seem hard to prove but (speculation) winning the lawsuit might not be Kesha's goal here; Luke's lawyers are alleging she's just trying to escape her contract with him—which, if any of these allegations are true, who could blame her

if she wants out she should let him go, clearly there can't be a working relationship anymore so if she's suing to get out of her deal that must mean that he's being unnecessarily vindictive in either asking her to fork over a bunch of money and/or threatening to hold her career hostage. seems like supporting evidence in her favor imo.

A far cry from a mentor, Dr. Luke displayed despicable conduct in front of Ms. Sebert. Specifically, Dr. Luke would boast and brag to Ms. Sebert about how he liked to take girls out on a first date and "___" them in the ass."

Yeah, J0rdan otm. I don't know the details of her contract, but one of the many reasons I'm inclined to believe her is that her partnership with Luke has been so fruitful (and his production/songwriting has been so key to her success) that I don't think there's sound business logic for splitting from him. Splitting from him to escape an unhealthy situation makes more sense; she's burning a very lucrative bridge

It would be ironic if Dr Luke of all people tried to use her lyrics against her in the media perceptions battle - though probably still unsurprising.

incidentally, here is the actual complaint https://www.scribd.com/doc/242979442/Kesha-Complaint

for some reason that really set me off
i want him to burn

there's aspects of this that are, at the very least, disturbingly surreal - that her mom would be sharing songwriting credits with a guy she knew raped her daughter, that you'd do a whole "hey let me make an album with the flaming lips, whatever happened to creative freedom" campaign and then reveal two years later that the stakes were far more horrifying. but even if only 10% of the accusations were true, this guy should be in prison.

def wish that she had gone to an emerg rm rather than as she sez in the complaint that she needed 2

this thread is like some kind of creepy game of controversy chess where people are getting fired up about theoretical things that could happen three steps ahead of the current state of affairs

Not only that but for some reason it made me really personally enraged

She was only a high school kid when she met him.

Maybe because there's a precedent for those theoretical things?

I don't think it's much of a theoretical stretch to predict that this is going to get ugly fast
