![]() ![]() Luke and Max Martin for the rest.īut yeah, Ke$ha’s music is thoroughly commercial. Comparing her to Lady Gaga is also kind of off – Lady Gaga is a performance artist, whereas Ke$ha is a recording artist. Comparing her to Taylor Swift, which I’ve heard and read a lot, is kinda silly, except that neither one is an especially great singer. People look past this sometimes because she’s a young white woman, but it explains her MC/DJ vibe and lack of vocal virtuosity. She’s as much of a rapper and “hype girl” as a singer. Ke$ha’s beats and mixing are pretty interesting at times. She doesn’t sing very well, her songs are kinda crap, she’s too heavily autotuned, etc. (I know I can already hear the collective moans of disappointment from the OTI readership). That notwithstanding, I’m going to save the third-wave feminist critique of Ke$ha for another time. Ke$ha’s just doing stuff male rock and rap stars have done forever, but kicking up dust because she’s a woman. I don’t particularly like using words like “skank” or “slut” for anyone. Yeah, she threw up in Paris Hilton’s closet and palled around with Flo Rida without being paid for it (and I don’t know if this was sexual at all). Judging her fictional or real persona in these terms could be potentially interesting, but it would probably get tired real fast. It takes a lot of time and money to look that bad in precisely that way her mom is one of her songwriters she’s not Amy Winehouse. ![]() This is, of course, the point she’s not doing this by accident. Heavy drinking, sleeping around, looking like a slob, etc. Talk to a bunch of folks above the age of 16 about Ke$ha, and if they know who she is at all, they tend to volunteer information along a few themes:ĭon’t hate the player, hate the game. Tonight, I’mma fight ’till you see the sunlight! What rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?Īnd when it wakes up in the morning, why does it feel like P. What sort of song evolves in this environment? ![]() Popular music faces a very hostile environment these days – sales are way down, noise is way up, and getting a single anything to last in the popular conscious for more than an afternoon is a herculean feat. It’s about adapting to hostile environments. ![]() There is nothing inherently better about a rabbit that is white in the winter versus a rabbit that is brown in the winter.Įvolution is the product of things that survive and breed. Evolution doesn’t mean that at all it isn’t normative. People often erroneously assume evolution is like progress. Let’s court controversy.īut remember what evolution actually means. ’m not going to say that Ke$ha is the next evolution of pop…Įh, why not, I’ll say it, whether it’s really true or not – “Ke$ha is the next evolution of pop.” I sorta did anyway already.
