Is Ke$ha The Mainstream Nicki Minaj? – Tik Tok
Posted in Entertainment, Music on 23. Oct, 2009
New artist, Ke$ha who you might remember from Flo Rida’s song Right Round. Here is her first single and now I am officially a fan of hers. Her new song Tik Tok has Diddy on it, and she sounds like a Pop Nicki Minaj. Tell me what you think.
To pop the hood for this wonderful woman named Ke$ha who said: “There are a bunch of hippies who come in and out, and there are all these people sleeping on the couches. I don’t really care, I don’t mind it. But I woke up one day after we went to a party, and I was surrounded by ten of the most beautiful women you’ve ever seen. And I was like, I’m like P. Diddy — there’s no man like this in the entire world.”
ESQ: Is it hard to concentrate living with beautiful women crawling around your bed at night?
KE$HA: No, it’s inspiring. Bring ‘em on!
ESQ: Okay, but it must be difficult to be such a beautiful, single woman in such a big, bustling L.A. music scene.
KE$HA: I like to admire. I’m a fan of beauty, so it’s not hard for me. But I think a lot of people can get wrapped up in comparing themselves. And that’s when the tragic downfall comes, because there will always be someone more beautiful.
ESQ: So how do you avoid tragedy? Like I said, you’re kind of pigeonholed almost, clearly by the MTVs of the world, whatever people are making you out to be. Does the music speak for itself? You certainly do.
KE$HA: I hope so. I just filmed a viral video for my song “Backstabber” with a bunch of trannies…
ESQ: You seem to have a tranny thing.
KE$HA: I have this… It’s like my new pick. I’m really fascinated by them. Because I feel like my music stands for the ultimate statement of irreverence. “We don’t give a fuck/we don’t give a fuck” is one of the lines in the song, and it’s true: Me and my friends, no matter how beautiful or not, it’s just whatever. So I see these transvestites who are in my video, and I went to one of the drag shows, and I was like, That’s taking it to a whole new level.
ESQ: Speaking of new levels, there seems to have been this mass acceptance of the electro scene, which was kind of thrown under the bus for a while as some crazy Euro shit. But it’s almost got a pop sensibility now. Will that work for you as much as everything else has?
KE$HA: I like that I reached a lot of people I wouldn’t have reached had I not been on this [Flo Rida] song. But it’s also exactly the kind of music I do. But I’m a bit of a chameleon anyway.

Naw xilla…come on. This is absolute garbage. She's singing- pardon me- rapping with auto tune, using hip-hop slang, talking bout swagger of which it seems she has none…
People need to have a discerning ear when it comes to music. I'm all for appreciating good pop music (like Gaga and such), but they're pumping out a lot of garbage to fill the minds of the ppl, especially children.
she's biting off Uffie, ain't got shit to do with Nicki. and i know Nicki WANTS to be pop, but she's NOT.
I wouldn't bump but it's def a cool party song. Love the chorus. She don't sound like someone new though. I see what you mean by sounding like Nicki Minaj but really not too much.
um no! and fyi…she aint got nothing on miley cyrus either.
Kesha is wayyy better than Nicki. Nicki is a whore and cant rap!
