why is she popular?

[Estocavio]

she presents a powerful new additional the U.S. psychological warfare arsenal

That has to be it! She was installed by the USBBA (United States Brain Breaking Associaition) as a Secret Agent to make our brains explode!

Quite a fun thought.

 

[historybuff]

Who is Kesha? I've never heard of her.

 

[blankedboy]

Kings of Leon.

How the fuck did that fucker get signed

Yes the BAND is good but the singer sounds like he has throat cancer mixed with shit.

Yet every **** loves them.

I really cant stand them

Another thing I hate is those people who want to be "Unique"

They do realize hundreds of people are THE FUCKING EXACT SAME.

What he said. Although I don't really like the BAND in KoL either.

 

[Lyri]

Electro, Auto-tune and phat bass lines are in right now.

Mind you, not like I'm complaining I like the above but I do find her somewhat obnoxious.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

I hate to be hated but I actually like this album lol. It's pretty catchy.

So is herpes.

So i'm not hating on kesha's music but what executive thought she was a talent worth signing. I was just watching television and one of her videos came on and it made me go WTF. She has no vocal talent and is not exceptionally attractive. Usually you would expect a music artist to have one of those qualities, so it leaves me to wonder why someone thought she was worth signing.
This may be an unnecessary rant but i hear her music all the time(at parties, on television, and at friends houses) and the frustration just built to a point where i felt like vocalizing my thoughts.

So anyone either refute my thoughts or maybe have some insight as to why she's popular?

Also any WTF music moments of your own?

Why are the Jonas Brothers popular? Why is Justin Bieber popular?

These are questions that the world may never know.

Rich daddy! rich daddy! RICH! ... CUMMON DON'T BE SHY! RICH DADDY! RICH DADDY!

I personally thought Kings of Leon sounded like a Coldplay ripoff.

You...what? Have you just never heard either of those bands play? Kings Of Leon make hillbilly-ish rock, Coldplay make somewhat mopey, artsy indie. They sound absolutely different!

And as for how the guy got signed, I'm pretty sure they're brothers, so you're not going to get the band without the singer. I actually quite like his voice, on some songs, but I've heard 'Sex On Fire' so many times now that it makes me want to punch my stereo.

"Artists" like Kesha are just record companies proving a point. They can drag any no talent hack off the street, feed em through autotune with a backbeat they paid some DJ 2 dollars for the rights to, and people will download that garbage for 99 cents a track. Then they use that money to sue the people sad enough to steal the garbage. It's like a 1 2 cockslap teabag when you turn on the radio. Luckily todays technology allows you to carry around hundreds of songs you actually like and never listen to this nonsense. Every generation has it's shitty music and unless 2020 has people Kesha Rolling on youtube, no one will remember who she is.

I still think she is better than Cheryl Cole. :/

Seconded. Why do people like her so much? She isn't even all that attractive. Hot, sure, but not as hot as people make out. I found that 'Fight For This Love' song hilarious though, since it was played a lot while the rumours of her divorce were spread around :-D

I don't think males are really the target audience for a lot of music in the top 40 music. It's why 90% of the escapist will hate on the top 40 because we're males

The other 10% are either women or males who like it (not exact figures). Mainly because teenagers and (in my history) girls are much easier to predict and satisfy with music

Accurate, generally speaking. 8-10 and adolescent girls are the main support of the blockbuster pop star business model the music industry is gradually moving away from. Stores like iTunes provide a long tail business model for older demographics who (naturally) specialize their taste into specific music. The state of the music industry is still confused and lurching to steady itself after the business pyramid got turned on it's head in 99 by Shawn Fanning.

So i'm not hating on kesha's music but what executive thought she was a talent worth signing.

He was thinking this "hmm, there is possible money in this. Her debut song is really catchy and there is nothing wrong with her appearance. However, we really need to ask what this guy aceverhart from the escapist messaging boards thinks before we sign her. As you all know he is the person that serves as our representative sample for American and possibly world-wide youth"

Only two-thirds of that statement was sarcasm!

seriously though, if a record company thinks someone will make them money they will sign a contract with them. It doesn't matter what your personal opinion of them is.

Hahaha! Awesome. Set myself up for that really.

Indeed you did. I was torn on whether to use herpes or genital warts...

 

[Plank of Wood]

Who the fuck is Kesha?

Seriously, I have never heard of her anywhere other than from people who live in America. Even then it's just "Some Music Hack". Fuckload of help, there. If she's as wildly popular as you all say, then why isn't she popular internationally?
