That Grape Juice Interviews Ke$ha

Published: Friday 11th Jun 2010 by Sam

Friday 11th June

*Pinned: Normal Posts Resume Below*

That Grape Juice caught up with Pop rebel Ke$ha earlier this week here in London town. Ever upfront and to-the-point, the 23 year old talked about her rapid rise to fame, her thoughts on suggestion that she is “just a gimmick”, autotune, 2010 Britney Spears, Rihanna being an “icon”, her new album, and much more. The ‘Tik Tok’ singer also agrees to perform an impromptu acapella.

As ever we ask the questions you really want answers to! Enjoy…

* Be sure to crank your speakers up, as the sound is a tad tempramental on this one.

  8. 12R June 10, 2010

    Rihanna over Beyoncé? *side eye*

  9. SHOTSFIRED June 10, 2010

    Good interview.

  10. Hanna June 10, 2010

    Love how she avoids the Britney question and tries to say something positive. Otherwise She will get roasted by the media again. That should teach you to never talk crap about the princess of pop.

  11. Last Boy on Earth June 10, 2010

    everyone has their own opinions..

  12. Topman June 10, 2010

    LOL @ Tiff

  13. Randy June 10, 2010

    I think she came across as really genuine and likeable in this interview. She looked nice, not like in some videos, don’t wanna sound bad but you know what i mean, and I’m starting to like her. I think i first started liking her on that channel four show at 5 when peter andre interviewed her. And i sorta like the new song, compared to the others. Congrats on the success Kesha and hope she keeps it up. Also congrats on the interview, you can lay off the Rihanna now no one is going to agree with you and the questions just waste time. She isn’t even bad anyways.

  14. annon June 10, 2010

    LOL she sounds like a bimbo and i think its the recording which makes she sound like she’s on auto tune.
    Haha…LOVE HER!

  15. Stoney-Brie June 10, 2010

    WDF the chick is so drunk…such a junkie…i mean what’na worrrl??

  16. Waddie G. June 10, 2010

    Kesha is still a joke. She’s just a one album girl…in five years, she’ll be a part of VH-1’s “Where Are They Now” show. This heifer had the nerve to state that sings live all the time. I’ve seen a few of her TV performances, and they were filled with Auto-Tune. Therefore, she is a gimmick.

  17. Joseph McCoy June 10, 2010

    Ke$ha’s music is very fun.

    She’s just a smidge boring, I fast forwarded the interview.

    I think she needs to work on her confidence.

    Other than that, pretty good interview.

    WAY BETTER THAN TREY SONGZ.

  18. Tyler* June 10, 2010

    I really like the interview! she has her own personality and it’s not fake…..I hope she stays like that, and doesn’t let the industry try to make her a good girl…..she made me want to buy her album

  19. jonstrax June 10, 2010

    IM STARTING TO LIKE KE$HA WTS HAPPENING TO ME NOOOOOOOO LOL I CNT HELP BUT LISTEN TO HER MUSIC

  20. malyeh June 10, 2010

    Rihanna, an icon + choosing Rihanna over Beyoncé = KESHA MAJOR FAIL !

  21. antertain June 10, 2010

    She’s a quirky character and she came across well.
    Edgy and wild but her personality shows.

    She kept real talk about live performances and some other stuff so i was glad she was so natural about it.

    I dont know why but it kind of shocked me that she swore. I don’t know why but i guess i’ve not heard it via a TGJ interview be4.

    Cool and well done Sam

  22. TheFashionator June 10, 2010

    I love Kesha

  23. TheFashionator June 10, 2010

    Rihanna is so untalented Kesha is gonna take the crown

  24. Bbop June 10, 2010

    Rihanna an icon. I guess Milli Vanilli are icons also. This girl is on the strongest drugs ever.

  25. gaga d*** June 10, 2010

    “Britney, who?” kesha sings.

  26. loves1embrace June 10, 2010

    This is the result of snorting gone wrong. It is very clear that she is wasted and knows not what she is saying. Rihanna over Beyonce? lol!

    i guess her and kesha can be best friends, CAUSE BOTH OF THEM SUCK ASS

  31. X,Y,”and Z” June 10, 2010

    @Sam — Did you smell alcohol on this b**** breath? … For real: Rihanna, an icon?! Sam, YOU KNEW you wanted to chuckle, if not have a good-guttural laugh, didn’t you?

    You should have asked her if: “she’s getting-paid-up-front, and in what currency denomination?”
    You should have asked her: “if she considers Nicki Minaj, ‘iconic material’?”
    You should have asked her, “what does SHE think ’bout Rihanna stealing-$30K’s-worth-of -services, from HER personal trainer?”
    You should have asked her: “does-SHE-consider-it, “iconic behavior” to menstruate into a public pool; THEN-try: “to-play-it-off, like nothing happened?”

    You should have asked her: “Why is it that TGJ is giving eminem ‘soooo-much shine’, when they’re other young black men, WHO-ARE-FAR-MORE-DESERVING ….??”

    …”This, was no … “interview”… “THIS” was Kei$ha’s “TGJ-feel-good moment!”

    ….. I swear: Kei$ha must have ‘given Sam some head’, after-the-cameras-stopped-rolling….!!

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!

  32. DrizzyBey June 10, 2010

    Obviously Ke$ha would choose Rihanna over Beyonce, and call her an icon. Ke$ha got some MAJOR ASS TO KISS!!!! Soo Bey stans or Rihanna haters don’t take that into much concern.

  33. smartee June 10, 2010

    Rihanna is not an icon whatsoever! She’s just been lucky in the music industry for quite some time! Jennifer Lopez was once a huge music star and actress but she’s not iconic whatsoever. She’s somewhat of a legend, but definitely not an icon… and she’s sold over 40 million albums in her lifetime. Rihanna will soon fade away. She’ll be known as someone with trendy style and a “hot” bod.

    Sam, I could not even hear what the hell you were asking! You’re video equipment is cheap as hell! I even turned up my volume and still had a hard time understanding you! If you cannot afford better video equipment, could you please speak loudly when asking the interviewee questions? I don’t like Kesha’s personality. She seems like she could be a b**ch. She’s very trashy, is definitely not intelligent, and just a normal white girl who got lucky in the industry. I don’t hate her though, because she isn’t fake.

    It’s funny because I want her to continue to get famous and be successful… why? Because I want her to prove to idiotic people who support manufactured wh*res like Rihanna and Lady Gaga, that you can not even try to sing or dance and still sell millions around the world! I hope many more females like her get discovered and last as long as Rihanna so that people can see music is really effed up!

  34. Sarah1 June 10, 2010

    It is sad how the terms like “icon” and “legend,” are grossly thrown around these days.

    Most of you morons don’t even have a clue what an icon is, and what it takes to become one. It takes more than selling albums and #1 hits to become an icon. The same can be said with being a legend

    Rihanna an icon???? Really???? She’s not even a fashion icon let alone musically.

    Some you idiots need to take your asses to school, get your education and stop spending so much time staning and acting a fool.

    TGJ really need to get their blog and readers in order because this blog is very short of becoming another Perez Hilton, instead of a quality blog. Just take a look at all of the highly immature, stupid and ignorant people posting here. A great deal of these people have to be at least 10-12 years old.

    Where are these people’s parents at?

  35. exposed June 10, 2010

    @SARAH1

    YEA, AND IMMA SURE YOU’RE RIPE OLD AGE OF *13*!! PUBERTY HIT YA IN THE VEE-JAY-JAY YET?? JUST SAYIN.

  36. Bryant June 10, 2010

    i kind of like kesha after this interview and she actually could sing without the autotune sure she doesnt sound like heyday mariah carey but she was on key and thats all that matters and thanks for finding someone to put Rihanna in another post

  37. exposed June 10, 2010

    @SAM

    WTF!!!! GET OFF UR ASS AND ACTUALLY GET A HD VIDCAM WITH HD SOUND. STOP USING YOUR 20YR OLD TAPE RECORDER. THIS IS TOTALLY SUCK ASS AND AMATUERISH. EVEN PEREZ SNITCHES HAVE BETTER EQUIPMENT. SMFH.

  38. Beyonce reign just won’t let up June 10, 2010

    Rihanna the icon of untalented b****** who have paved the way for other untalented b**** like Kesha.

    Rihanna starts getting praises from the likes of Prince, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, and other legends than we’ll see. Lets see if she ever performs with any of these ppl or win 16 grammys without Jay Z.

  39. ImHighPrice June 10, 2010

    I love this interview…& she sounded really good on her acapella.

    Rihanna…an icon???…GIRL BYE!!!!

  40. Ghetto Fab June 10, 2010

    You h*** are such idiots! She was given questions and answered them. She is entitled to her own opinion!!!! So STAY MAD AND PRESSED!!!

    P.S. I didn’t even finish watching the interview because the sound was so damn terrible. get it together TGJ!

  41. DANBOFFICIALL (AALIYAH/RIHANNA/XTINA) STAN) June 10, 2010

    @ Beyonce reign just won’t let up

  43. BEYONCE VS. WORLD June 10, 2010

    I STILL DON’T LIVE KESHA MUSIC BUT SHE SEEM LIKE A COOL GILR I’LL GIVE HER THAT STOP WORRYING ABOUT RIHANNA AND FIX THIS AUDIO

  44. S*** June 10, 2010

    I can Not Stand KESHA’S MUSIC Whatsoever, Its S***!! Shes the definition of WHITE TRASH. Tic Toc has to be THEA WORSE song to ever see #1 &that other song is even worse, I cant even isten to It for more than 5 seconds, LITERALLY. I bet her Fans are so dumb & stupid. I bet If we did a study her Fans would be even dumber than Weezy’s, now thats Dumb…

    Im not even gonna watch this Interview, I already know shes a Gimmick just like Lady Gags. I like Beyonce & Rihanna’s music Though.

  45. VANITY June 10, 2010

    @der

    AMAZING VIDEO 😀

    THE ONLY REASON KESHA CALLED RIHANNA AN ICON IS BECAUSE SHE’S ON TOUR WITH HER. NO WAY IS SHE AN ICON.

  46. kessha is UGLY June 11, 2010

    Wow Kesha is freaking UGLY and she cant sing LOL

  47. DANBOFFICIALL (AALIYAH/RIHANNA/XTINA) STAN) June 11, 2010

    LOL

    Two words for you: Britney Spears. I think she is the ultimate success story when it comes to untalented singers having not only mass success, but longevity too. You really don’t need another example to prove that marketing trumps talent.

    @ Bbop:

    LMAO at your comment, seriously, this girl must be smoking some special kind of crack or something to call Rihanna an icon.

  49. Dan June 11, 2010

    This was a REALLY awkward interview

  50. lew-do June 11, 2010

    this is for smartee that doesnt have a clue about kesha…………….if u read up on kesha she was avery poor when she was young she struggled to geta record deal…she has a dollar sign in her name coz she grew up with money…she didnt get lucky with a deal she writes her damn songs sings and raps…….she even went to princes house so she coudl give him a demo….shes persistant,fun and isnt afraid to sing live…thats roginal right there…shes much than britney who is a miming joke lol

  51. Beyonce reign just won’t let up June 11, 2010

    The Beyonce and Rihanna comparisons are just like the Micheal Jackson and Prince comparisons. Prince never wins. Just like Rihanna will never WIN! But unlike Rihanna Prince was talented.

    Beyonce is Micheal JAckson.

    And

    Rihanna is a talentless/emotionless/rhythmless version of Prince

  52. Beyonce reign just won’t let up June 11, 2010

    Ke$sha is a FLOP. Her album hasn’t even went Gold in here in the U.S. Hell it hasn’t even gone Gold in the UK.

    She will be just like her icon. She will get #1 singles but will have flop albums.

    And Umbrella is the only song that will be remembered by Rihanna.

    Single Ladies, Irreplacable, & Crazy in Love have already gone down in history.

  53. KBJr. June 11, 2010

    I’ll just say this: she is not an attractive woman…at all.

  54. Geronimo Deuces June 11, 2010

    LMAO I LOVE THE FACT A BEYONCE STAN USES A RIHANNA LYRIC……..LOL LOL LOL LOL

    EPIC F****** FAIL @ BEYONCE REIGN JUST WONT LE UP !!!
    Rihannas songs wont go down in history LOL LOL LOL
    thats why your using her lyrics in YOUR NAME LOL LOL F****** DUMBASS LOL LOL…

    aaaaaaaah *done crying, from laughing” LOL

  56. roadsareendless June 11, 2010

    um…just because she couldnt pick between lady gaga and britney…she automatically loses all credibility in my book. i mean come on!!!!

  57. roadsareendless June 11, 2010

    @Beyonce reign wont let up

    Don’t even say Prince and Rihanna in the same sentence!!!

  58. DION-ISH June 11, 2010

    @ROADSAREENDLESS

    UM LADY GAGA IS JUST STARTING, RIHANNA HAS PAID HER DUES IN THIS INDUSTRY FOR HALF A DECADE …EVEN BEING ONE OF THE TOP ARTIST OF THE LAST DECADE.

    AND TRENT DIDNT ASK ABOUT THEM, HE ASKED FOR HER THOUGHTS ON RIHANNA…DID U NOT WATCH THE INTERVIEW?

    GET A LIFE, “YOUR” NAME AND RIHANNA DONT BELONG IN THE SAME SENTENCE THATS WHAT! ……FUKIN LOSER.

  59. yesyes June 11, 2010

    1) she refered to britney like she is some random person and not an ICON that paved the way for kesha??? RUDE

    2) she called rihanna an icon??! LAUGHABLE

    After that i just couldnt watch anymore. just like Katy Perry, Kesha is a flash in the pan with a few hot songs. I doubt she has the talent (dance/looks/voice) to sustain anything more than her 15 minutes but im not hating…

  60. 0beloved June 11, 2010

    POOR KESHA LOL NOBODY IS EVEN CARING THAT YOU WERE INTERVIEWED. EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT RIHANNA. NOW THIS AIN’T THE FIRST TIME KESHA HAS PRAISED RIRI. AND OF COURSE SHE’S TOURING WITH HER AND SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SHE WANTED TO F*CK RI. SOO YEAH SHE’S CORRECT RIHANNA WILL BE AN ICON AND I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THE DAY SAM AND TRENT HATING ASS WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT IT.

  61. 0beloved June 11, 2010

    @BEYONCE REIGN JUST WON’T LET UP

    BEYONCE STANS ARE SO DAMN INSECURE. LMAOO MAD BECAUSE KESHA CHOSE RIHANNA OVER BEYONCE. MAYBE KESHA DON’T LIKE HER ASS AND NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO LIKE HER OR HER MUSIC OR HER SINGING SO TAKE IT LIKE IT IS.

  62. 0beloved June 11, 2010

    AND FOR THE RECORD, I WOULD’VE NEVER WASTED MY TIME BEING INTERVIEWED BY THIS TRASHY BLOG. THEY JUST WANT TO START SOMETHING. CONCRETELOOP SHOULD HAVE INTERVIEWED HER BUT I DON’T THINK THEY FEATURE HER ON THEIR SITE. I THINK JUST GAGA AND CHRISTINA AGUILERA.

  63. Angie June 11, 2010

    There is something about her (probably her potty mouth) that comes off very trashy. “Don’t give a f***” is how she describes herself in three words? Really? I like some of her songs, but she is not an artist that I see embarking on a long career.

  64. Angie June 11, 2010

    Oh yeah, and the sounds sucks on all these interviews. And I would appreciate it if you didn’t cut to extra long clips in reference to a question (like the Flo RIda clip in this interview). It’s really pointless.

  65. MV June 12, 2010

    I don’t care if they play her songs on the radio every 10 mins. I refuse to bump to her songs in my car. She is the Sarah Palin of the music industry and has gained more fame from people mocking her than people who have enjoyed her music. If there are any Kesha stans out there you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

  66. Anne June 12, 2010

    Not suprised she felt the need to give us an excuse/warning before her very brief attempt to sing acapella. This girl is a joke. Guess you don’t have to lip synch when everyone expects you to sound horrible and doesn’t seem to care for the moment. However, I think her fifteen minutes of fame are TICK-TOCKing away. Of course she likes Rihanna, the lower the vocal bar is set, the better chance she’ll have at reaching it. Rihanna keeps pushing the bar down for so-called singers like Ke$ha, meanwhile real singers like Beyonce and Christina will set the bar far beyond her reach.

  67. Thaye June 13, 2010

    Guys, it’s saddening how much hate is being spread here again. Why do you have to be so f****** competitive about your facourite stars? If Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Kesha and whoever else comes to your mind would meet in one place all together, they would definitely not be hating on each other like you are doing, but behave mature and respectful and probably very friendly towards each other. I believe there’s room for all of them in music business, because they are all different from each other and have something unique that made them become famous in the first place. So why all that bitching?

    Don’t waste your time and energy hating on the stars you DON’T like, don’t be sad little Perez copies. (I can’t stand him.) Everybody has different tastes and opinions and likes different stars. What’s the big deal about it? Let them follow their favourite in peace while you follow your own favourites and just let go of the hate.

  68. Linda June 13, 2010

    It finally dawned on me today that Rhianna is an icon or legend in the making.
    she is that huge that her name comes up everyday on this blog. As if that is not enough Sam always asks every artist he interviews about Rhianna even older and more accomplished artists like Toni Braxton. Damn”””””””””””””””””””””””””’

    I am a journalist and i know that you only bring up peoples names in interviews if they are extremely important or are huge news makers.

  69. Kevin June 14, 2010

    rihanna and jlo are cut from the same cloth.

    no talents who look good, wear funky/”stylish clothes,” and let the producers make their voices sound good.

    yup.

  70. Deanna M August 14, 2010

    I really really REALLY do not like Rihanna anymore…I’m not sure why. It’s just something about her now that just makes me think FAKE. TRYING TO HARD. EWW. lol. I also can no longer stand her voice. She’s just a typical, typical, pop singer. Just…typical. Also, sorry guys, but Lady GaGa does have talent. She just…does. She is a true performer, she isn’t typical. I am NOT saying that one must dress like her in order to not be typical either.
    Oh, and as for Kesha, trashy untalented mess that does not deserve ANY of the success she’s gotten. She cannot sing, dance, ugh.
