Why Is She Popular Again?
I have a hunch that if most people saw Ke$ha standing on the sidewalk they would drop some change in her cup and keep it moving. I feel this way because when I saw her at a Grammy event I was working, I wanted to do the same. Though I didn’t get a chance (because I didn’t want to) to interview her, I do know what would’ve been my first question: “Where’s your sponsor?”
Even in this video doesn’t she look like she just drank all of the Whiskey and bleach in the bar?
I don’t want to be sued so I’ll just say judging from Ke$ha in person, even into the wee hours of the morning the party don’t stop. For a long time I had no idea who she was. I miss those days because for the life of me, I don’t get the appeal.
Am I getting old or something? Wait, don’t answer that. Of course I’m not getting old. Everyone else is.
That said, really, why do so many like her? I’ve listened to both of her singles. Half of the lyrics she “wrote” don’t sound like actual words. They’re just random songs to a beat. And how does one classify Ke$ha? Is she a “singer?” Rapper? Fergie if she didn’t get past rehab?
Maybe she’s white people’s answer to Lil’ Boosie. White readers, can you clarify for me? Don’t pretend you’re not there. I know you are.
What gets me the most about this girl is that she seems to liken herself to some sort of bad ass. She’s about as a rebellious as an American campaign speech. I read how her Hollywood sign defacing stunt was just that, and I’ve noticed she makes sure she takes on simple targets like Britney Spears.
I read something about Ke$ha digging at Britney for lip syncing. I thought we settled this issue early into the last decade. Why would you pick on a girl on a medicated and court-ordered leash? Leave her be. She means no harm. Maybe that’s why Ke$ha is now back peddling. That makes her not the Lil’ Boosie of white people, but the Keri Hilson.
I see you, Ke$ha.
Speaking of that name, is anyone else annoyed by the way she pronounces her name? Lady, your name is Key-sha. Don’t jack a name then flip the pronunciation, you Lady GaGa for underachievers.
I’m assuming she’ll only be around for about 13 more minutes, but before her time in pop relevance ends I’d really like to know what’s the appeal. Is there a song I haven’t heard or a dance step she’s done that will convince me to give her a chance?
Thus far, I’m not seeing it. As of now I only want to throw Dove at her, not any of my dollars.

I enjoyed her album, actually. And scarily, she actually seems somewhat intelligent.
I also liked her performance on American Idol, although it was more like a bunch of people who stumbled into a pop art installation rather that actual singing + dancing.

She does look unclean, but I missed her debut or something. I don’t know who she is…
How does she pronounce her name? haha

Please don’t beat me in the head but…I like her. Of course I didn’t actually pay for her album and I would ne-vah let any child of mine listen to her but um, it’s good music to listen to before going out and it’s REALLY good to drink to. That’s the premise for 99% of her songs anyway. I think that underneath it all she can really sing but the girl is tryna get paid (while keeping her clothes on) so I can’t hate. I saw an interview she did where she talked about singing the chorus to Flo-Rida’s (yeah, weak, I know) song ‘Right Round’ and how she had this big single with this ‘famous’ rapper but in reality she couldn’t even buy tacos. TACOS!!! I’ve never been so broke I couldn’t buy tacos. Hell, I even used a gas card to buy a frozen burrito at the gas station.
Not for kids but I’ll drink to it!

She talks on her “songs.” She’s not singing or rapping. I really don’t see the appeal in the smelly lookin chick.

“Lady, your name is Key-sha. Don’t jack a name then flip the pronunciation, you Lady GaGa for underachievers.”
SAY THAT. lol
And I am tired of her lying about how high she is NOT and how she doesn’t drink.. only someone high can ruin an interview like she does. And has anyone noticed how she loves to curl up her lip like Elvis? I caught her doing it when she was introducing an act on (I think it was) the MTV awards…. like she was trying to portray this “badazz” that they are promoting her ass. It’s almost as phony/annoying as that nose thing that Gabrielle union does in movies when shes’ portraying her “cutesy” side.

Well thats what she’s going for, the drunken party girl..and her actual name is Kesha lol i mean we cant really give her too much for the pronunciation of her name being that our community (black folk) have certain names that are THE hardest names to pronounce and some just dont even need to be names.
I think her whole success comes from the simple fact that people like to party and her music does that especially for the crowd thats actually goin to itunes to buy ish… As far as the Britney thing, she was 15 who cares thats like 8 years lol.. I def dont think Kesha should EVER bring up vocals, lyp singing or not cause all Kesha does is talk n at times she’s flat while doing that.
I actually do find some of her songs cool and catchy and found myself jamming to Tik Tok a few times a few months ago lol but im gonna need Kesha to SERIOUSLY do something w/ her vocal and learn how to at least half way perform lol

YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking the same thing. Fool your name is KEEE-SHA! I refuse to call a grown ass woman (because she’s a week younger than me) Kesha (derived from Ketchup and Sasha).
