which newly ubiquitous female pop star do you dislike more?

Where do you guys even hear of these hookers? I think you're all doing it wrong.

when The Gaga Renaissance happened, it made me realize how marginally talented and crazily annoying katy perry is, and then ke$ha came along and it made me realize that katy perry really wasn't thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat baaaaaaaaaad

(altho i actually do not mind "tik tok")

"Tik Tok" is better than either "Just Dance" or "I Kissed A Girl" - even though it sounds like some weird midpoint between "Love At First Sight" and Uffie via Pink.

the thing about "just dance" is that even tho it's derivative in general & by nature, it felt kind of fresh when it first hit, especially lyrically as i said way back when in that taxonomy thread. "tik tok" with autotune & "just dance"-esque lyrics feels super derivative of the moment which is my main objection with it (also it's musical theifdom of kylie)

"i kissed a girl" otoh is just totally dreadful

I think "Just Dance" maybe didn't sound fresh to me because Australian would-be-dance-divas trying to hook up PAs at gay clubs have been releasing stuff like it for maybe the last 7 years or so - mostly failed. Somehow this is one genre (alongside annoying Oz rap X acoustic guitar and sad choruses cross) where I received every single possible release to review for my local singles column.

I think you're right about the lyrics.

In the US it would be different I imagine.

i post this at every opportunity but this rmx redeemed just dance for me

i haaaaate "tik tok" in a way i never really hated "i kissed a girl" or "just dance" - IKAG was a catchy tune sung annoyingly and allied to a dodgy narrative, JD was just bog-standard who-cares electro made irritating by gaga's persona - "tik tok" is just HORRIBLE MUSIC. and it's like, ke$ha's persona is one i want to like (cf paris hilton, tila tequila, paradiso girls stanning passim) but i just can't cuz she does it so wrong.

basically "tik tok" is too clumsy to dance to and ke$ha is not the kind of girl you'd want to party with, she's the kind of girl who you'd have to kick out of a house party for doing something really gross like pissing in the sink

ke$ha i can take or leave at this point but im man enough to admit that gaga has grown on me in a way katy perry never has

very fond of perry, rather partial to gaga, never 'eard o' t'otherun.

Ke$ha on NPR just now, talking about how she got a 1500 on the SAT and used to sit in on Cold War history classes at a local college for fun. Scott Simon was clearly enamored.

I don't get what the big deal was with the sink incident.

'Tik Tok' just kinda confuses me because it sounds like someone heard Justice's 'The Party' a couple of weeks ago and then decided to cover it without relistening.

i just came in here to post Ke$ha

WHO IS KE$HA????? I AM V SERIOUS ABT THIS. ITS LIKE SHE JUST STARTED APPEARING YESTERDAY. LITERALLY YESTERDAY. HER WIKI PAGE IS UNSATISFYING! SHE WAS THE BACKING VOCALS ON RIGHT ROUND? FUCK THAT SHIT GOD I HATE THIS COUNTRY

/TOMBOT

Oh God I just heard tik tok. is this bitch serious?

like i mean i <3 katy cause she's just like a post-cyndi lauper oddball who is cuet and fun; and i <3 lady gagz because her shit is like good electro and matthew barney and ish

but kesha @ #1 is like the triumph of l.a. myspace-whore "scene" idiots like mickey avalon and cisco adler. just the worthless party-all-the-time internet-and-coke trash of L.A. and i hope that state gets washed into the pacific. peace out

and i hope that state gets washed into the pacific.

Sounds like somebody's got a crush.

CA is amazing, what are you talking about

I like your Gaga / Barney comparison. She looks good in blue.

we should do a repoll between katy perry and ke$ha

That would be a useless poll there is no way Kesha is less annoying than kate perry.
