I like Tik Tok actually. I think it's a decent pop song.

there's a lot of animosity towards Kesha, not just here, I kinda get it and I kinda don't. Musically she's a lot like Katy Perry who hasn't been on the receiving end of nearly as much haterade so I assume most of it comes from the fact that she dresses like a homeless 90s club kid that makes people hate her so much.
Dinosaur is probably my favorite song off her album but minus that horrible horrible ballad it's pretty solid.
― musically, Thursday, 15 April 2010 00:48 (fourteen years ago) link
"waking up in vegas" is better than any ke$ha song but "tik tok" is miiiiiiiiiiles better than any other KP joint -- perry's voice is just insufferable imo, and yes i find boilerplate autotune to be more pleasing

My big question for Ke$ha, if I ever receive the honor to speak with her, would regard the 200+ songs that were recorded during the 7-year period while she was recording "Animal." I need to know if there's any way I can have a copy of the 10 worst songs from those sessions as I'm sure this would be a remarkable CD.

http://www.scotusblog.com/2010/04/first-amendment-left-intact/
ok small point of order here:
On the broader question of what categories of expression should be put outside the First Amendment’s protection, Justice Alito argued that “crush videos” should not be shielded “because they are so closely linked with violent criminal conduct,” which itself gets no constitutional protection. He wrote: “The videos record the commission of violent criminal acts, and it appears that these crimes are committed for the sole purpose of creating the videos.” And, he added, Congress had before it “compelling evidence” that the only way to prevent the crime of animal cruelty was to target the sale of the videos — a perception that, Alito suggested, seemed to have been proven when the passage of the 1999 law led within a few years to destruction of the “crush video industry,” only to have it revive after the Third Circuit struck down that law.

Beatweek readers are still offering widely split opinions on what to make of Kesha’s recent avant garde Saturday Night Live performance of Tik Tok and Your Love Is My Drug – but the sales charts say she’s doing just fine. Her debut album Animal, which was released in January and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Ten chart, has been catapulted back up into the top top, currently at #8. http://www.beatweek.com/news/4598-kesha-helped-on-charts-by-snl-performance/
Her metallic outfit and cape for "Tik Tok" and her black body suit covered in florescent paint for "Your Love" I guess constitutes avante-garde. Or maybe she's just going for a more MOR Lady Gaga approach.

― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 20:25 (fourteen years ago) link
maybe I'm just swayed by that influences list that annoyed Alex, but the visual stuff in her SNL performance just looked to me like a grab-bag of stuff you might get from, like, MGMT, Sia, Flaming Lips, old Daft Punk videos, etc.
(The performance struck me as terrible -- I like "Tik Tok" okay, I guess, and it just seemed like one of those moments where the pop star comes out seeming lifeless and silly and going-through-the-motions, totally unable to back up whatever feeling the recording created. Which is kinda embarrassing, since you could probably find someone in any given karaoke bar who could pull that song off better.)
― oɔsıqɐu (nabisco), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link
It wasn't avant garde.. it was embarrassing. I felt bad for her. It looked like she was making a joke out of herself. Very awkward and uncomfortable.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 22:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Re: the Kesha music influences list.
It really isn't too surprising when you consider (and this culled from good friend Wikipedia) a) her parents are/were in the music business b) she's from L.A., specifically the Valley c) her family wasn't wealthy d) she was actually pretty studious and academic in high school
It really isn't too different from the filmmakers who grew up in the Valley, watched every movie at their local video store, and then later went on to have success as a director (Burton, P.T. Anderson, to name two)
― Cunga, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 23:16 (fourteen years ago) link
Tik-Tok was straight-up Jean-Michel Jarre Rendez-Vous Houston steez, from the astronauts to the laser-harp. I dig Ke$ha - it's like Rayanne Graff being voted prom queen.

only track i'd delete from this is "bff"
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 31 January 2020 15:07 (four years ago) link
‘Kinky’ and ‘BFF’ were both ones I’d lose tbh, but the rest are wonderful. The ‘Island in the Sun’-reminiscent intro has me fantasising a Kesha-Weezer super gig. ‘Tonight’, the title track and ‘Birthday Suit’ are immediate faves and I feel guilty for dismissing ‘Raising Hell’ earlier in the year what was I thinking.

maybe i love "kinky" bc it'd be a pretty sick k-pop song
― american bradass (BradNelson), Sunday, 2 February 2020 15:25 (four years ago) link
this album handles its pop moves better than rainbow (cf. the run from "tonight" to "honey" vs. "hymn" -> "praying" -> "learn to let go," the former is better to me on just a pacing level) but rainbow is still the weedier and weirder of the two? but then again high road has "the potato song," which seems to follow up on "rich straight white men" and take kesha further into the alt universe amanda palmer territory (which is fine with me, she's a good enough songwriter to pull it off) and then there's "father daughter dance" the most devastating thing she's ever put on a record? idk, both records are all over the place
