Ke$ha Performs On ECHO Awards

Rihanna wasn’t the only US celebrity at the ECHO Awards last evening. Ke$ha also took the stage on the German  show to perform her smash hit ‘Tik Tok’. The song hit #1 on the official German singles chart. Typical Ke$ha.

Ke$ha Slams Britney Spears: “If you are going to be a singer, you should sing”

Pop music’s current ‘it’ girl, Ke$ha, has issued some stinging comments for Britney Spears. The ‘Tik Tok’ singer slammed Spears for lip-syncing all of the performances during her recent ‘Circus’ tour. Here is what Ke$ha had to say:

New Song: Taio Cruz – ‘Dirty Picture (ft. Ke$ha)’

taio New Song: Taio Cruz   Dirty Picture (ft. Ke$ha)

UK singer/songwriter and producer Taio Cruz has taken the US by storm with his new single ‘Break Your Heart’, which for its Stateside release features rapper Ludacris. So much so have the US warmed to the Londoner that the song is currently #1 on the iTunes. Cruz will, therefore no doubt, be hoping confirmed follow-up ‘Dirty Picture’ enjoys similar success.

Featuring ‘It’ chick of the moment, Ke$ha, the song sees the pair trade suggestive lyrics, with a thumping Electro-Pop beat serving as its backdrop. Though lyrically rather empty, it’s hard to deny its overall catchiness. Decent.

Hit or Miss?

New Video: Ke$ha – ‘Blah Blah Blah’

The video for Ke$ha’s latest single ‘Blah Blah Blah’ premièred a few moments ago. Check it out above…

Yawn. Pretty standard-fare for the Pop chart-stormer. Oh well, I guess I’ve heard worse.

Update: Our interview with Ke$ha has been delayed until mid-late April (confirmed). Granted it sucks when ish like this happens, it’s one of those things that come with the territory. Annoying, but what one do…

What do you think of the song / video?

Ke$ha Performs On GMTV

Ke$ha hit the stage on the UK’s GMTV yesterday. The Pop sensation performed ‘Blah Blah Blah’, the 2nd single from her #1 debut album, ‘Animal’. Thus far, the song has peaked at #7 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #11 on the UK Singles Chart. Ke$ha’s 1st single, ‘Tik Tok’, remains at #1 for a 9th week on the Hot 100 and if it maintains that position for 1 more week, it would tie Debbie Boone’s record for the longest running #1 debut single by a female artist.

Ke$ha put on a basic show by her standards. However, I’m sure that I’m not the only one who hears strong similarities between this track and ‘Tik Tok’. Isn’t it interesting that the latter is already more successful on the Billboard Hot 100 than Mariah Carey’s ‘Vision of Love’ or even Alicia Keys’ ‘Fallin”? O how the times have changed…

Ke$ha Sets New Chart Record

Ke$ha has just made history on the Billboard Hot 100. The Pop sensation’s first single, ‘Tik Tok’, has spent 8 weeks at the top of the chart, the longest stay at the top for a female artist’s debut single since 1977. Debbie Boone’s ‘You Light Up My Life’ set the record 33 years ago by holding the #1 position for 10 weeks. {Source}

Seriously? I take it that people in the US just want to party and have a good time given the gloomy weather. Still, the only thing I can say is: seriously?

Ke$ha Vandalizes The Hollywood Sign?

Seemingly not content with the media attention her worldwide #1 ‘Tik Tik’ is receiving, newcomer Ke$ha has today posted a video of what appears to be her vandalizing the iconic Hollywood sign, spray-painting ‘Ke$haWood’ over it. Check it out above…

Yawn. Though a relatively daring deed conceptually, it’s doubtful this is anything more than a publicity stunt – a cheap one at that. One need not look further than the fact the clip is well / professionally edited, as well as, of course, the fact her behind would have been arrested had thus been true! Still, I guess when an ‘artist’ is talent-starved, resorting to such actions to validate her ‘rebel’ status  is the next logical step. Boo!

Ke$ha Performs In Toronto

Ke$ha hit the stage at an album release party in Toronto, Canada recently. The singer performed ‘Your Love Is My Drug’ from her debut album ‘Animal’. The LP hit #1 on the Canadian charts after being released in that country on January 5th.

Ke$ha certainly had a lot of fun during that performance. However, I am yet to see any variation in her stage shows that makes me understand the hype. Nonetheless, she is still ‘new’ and may have a few tricks up her sleeve.

Ke$ha Performs On ‘Wendy Williams’

‘It’ girl Ke$ha hit the stage on ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ during yet another promotional appearance. The singer performed her smash hit ‘Tik Tok’ which remains perched at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ke$ha’s debut album ‘Animal’ is in stores now.

Ke$ha sure is working for that paper isn’t she? I must admit that I admire her work ethic and the fact that she is pushing this album as though it wasn’t already a #1 hit. On the other hand, it’s time for her to switch up that ‘Tik Tok’ routine because it looks the same everywhere she goes.

Ke$ha On ‘Jimmy Fallon’

Ke$ha hit the stage on ‘Jimmy Fallon Live’ last evening and performed her #1 single ‘Tik Tok’. The singer shocked everyone (including me) by not only snagging the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 from chart mainstay Susan Boyle but also holding strong at #1 on the Hot 100  for a 2nd week with ‘Tik Tok’. Ke$ha also proved that she is not a one hit wonder when her second single ‘Blah Blah Blah’ debuted at #7 on the Hot 100 this week. Her debut album, ‘Animal’, is in stores now.

Whilst the performance was exactly the same as her last few showings (minus the monster wig), I am sure that Ke$ha has found new meaning in that song. I am yet to get the hype surrounding her but there is no denying her tremendous success on the charts. It looks like that Susan Boyle reign finally let up. Congrats to Ke$ha!

Rihanna Working On New Album?

26950 rihanna rated r promos 122 43lo Rihanna Working On New Album?

It seems that Rihanna is working on a new album, or at least a repackaged version of her ‘Rated R‘ LP. The news come forth from Ke$ha who recently revealed that she has written a song for the imitation singer’s next project. Check out an excerpt from her interview below:

The 22-year-old singer, who released her debut album Animal last week, has penned a song for Rihanna. “I just wrote a song for Rihanna,” Ke$ha told BRAVO WebTV. While she didn’t divulge details, she did say that she “hopes” it will appear on RiRi’s next project. {Source}

Although conclusive details weren’t provided, it seems that the wheels have begun turning on Rihanna’s next release (as predicted by Sam last week). ‘Rated R’ has become the model’s fastest selling album to date, having already passed the 1 million mark on the worldwide tally. However, as her label proved with ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’, her team is keen to try their best to milk this project for everything it’s worth. That is a wise move because the attempted singer is not getting any younger, thus they better beat the iron while it’s hot before her looks begin to resemble her voice.

Ke$ha Performs On ‘Conan O’Brien’

The ‘it’ girl of the moment, Ke$ha, made an appearance on ‘Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien’. The singer performed her #1 smash hit ‘Tik Tok’ from her new album, ‘Animal‘. The ‘Animal’ is projected to give #1 mainstay Susan Boyle a run for her money by possibly opening at the top spot with sales of 105-115k.

Although this song is quite catchy and definitely radio friendly, I can’t shake the image of Ke$ha as being nothing more than a rapping ‘Valley girl’, which, coincidentally, she is indeed. However, there is no doubting that she has some Pop sensibility and knows how to craft a hit. Whether or not she will b able to follow up the monster success of ‘Tik Tok’, however, will be quite interesting.
