She sure looks like a winner
By Nicki Escudero

Does anyone have a towel? I just threw up all over my computer.

That's because I just listened to another gem from Ke$ha, you know, the girl who brought the number one hit single "TiK ToK" to the masses. She's debuted another pop masterpiece (ahem), "Blah Blah Blah," where she sing-song raps about how having a conversation isn't as important as showing her where your dick's at.

The 22-year-old also says she doesn't care where the guy "lives at," she just wants to hit that. So, good news if you live in a crackhouse, you can still have sex with Ke$ha.

The boring, generic track, which will probably go to number one just like the other trite single she's released, showcases no vocal talent, just immature lyrics.

I totally understand the feeling you get sometimes of pure lust, and that is totally acceptable, but there's got to be a classier way to express it. It's gross that Ke$ha is so easy that all it requires her to get down to business is some alcohol and some music in the back of an alley.

And, just for good measure, Ke$ha recruits that other sing-songy duo we love, 3OH3!. Their verse consists of telling Ke$ha they don't care about her, either, and they're the most important peeps at the party. Sounds like Ke$ha and 3OH3! are perfect for each other, since it seems like they're just in it for a no-strings-attached bang.

It'll mos def be interesting to see if this song climbs up as far as "TiK ToK," and here's hoping it doesn't.

Nicki...it's funny you say this about Ke$sha... that's what everyone said about GaGa when she first came out....I think you should give it some time to grow on you. I'm not a huge fan of her but I know it's pretty "circuit" over here (I'll explain what that means later). I think that she'll at least have a year or 2 of staying power (in the gay community at least) lol!

Gaga's got more talent for writing soulless dance pop than this woman, and she writes cryptic lyrics occasionally.

Wait, but 3OH3 is clearly mocking the shit they sing about. Is Ke$ha also doing that? I'm not saying like, that's a for sure thing, but it's worth considering. Satire?

People were also throwing around the idea that "stephen" was a satire, making fun of girls who would be like that. but nope, she told us in an interview that she wrote it about a guy she was actually obsessed with who wouldn't call her. She's not deep enough for satire, do not try and glam up her lyrics.

kesha is nothing like lady gaga... because lady gaga can actually sing, and isn't some fake act lying her ass off in every interview. she actually writes her own music too, instead of claiming she wrote every word of a "cowritten" album like kesha continues to do. see, in the beginning people didn't see that gaga was actually talented because it was just dance music, but the more we see of her live performances the more we are convinced. kesha's live performances make people lose respect for her, if they even had it in the first place

I wouldn't get too wound up over this girl. I can't possibly see her lasting after her first album. I don't hate her, there is just nothing special about her. She reminds me of other short-lived singers like Dream, Sugar Jones, Willa Ford, etc.

Lady Gaga will probably still be around years from now. Gaga can sing and write her own songs, and she is kooky enough to stay in the news.
