Source: falchukWell ok Kesha, maybe it’s because you’re an auto tuned peice of shit who shouldn’t be famous, you have no Buisness being in the music industry, it’s not even your music you fuck, someone else wrote it for you to record and them to auto tune yourself. And it’s not at all good . It’s not positive either. So complain some more.
I don’t know if you know this, tumblr user koolkidseatgreens, but Ke$ha is a certified genius. She has an IQ over 140 and an SAT score of 1500. When she was younger she would go to the library and do research for fun. Ke$ha is a both feminist and an advocate for equal marriage/rights for people of any sexuality, being a queer woman herself.
Ke$ha is a smart, professional woman, and just because she sings songs about wanting to let loose and have fun every once in a while doesn’t make her a piece of shit.
Ke$ha’s songs are meant to point out the sexism in our media. She treats men the same way many men in the music industry treat women, and she is hated on for it. Relentlessly. She sings on multiple occasions about taking charge in a sexual relationship, of how she only uses men for their body parts. She sexualizes men to make them uncomfortable. She sexualizes men for a reaction, so that people can both see why women are so uncomfortable with their sexualization and also to point out the inequality between the sexes both in the media and in the world at large.
She is judged so harshly for singing about things that make many men famous.
If you listen to Ke$ha’s deconstructed album you will see that she actually has some talent, which may be hard to hear because she does in fact use a fair amount of autotune. This is because of her genre and because of the kind of music she chooses to create as an artist. Ke$ha may not write her songs, but this doesn’t meant she isn’t a good artist or a good person. This doesn’t mean she deserves your harsh words. Some singers are good at writing, but that’s hardly a requirement. Last time I checked whether or not you can sing has nothing to do with whether or not you’re a poet.
You should not be calling anyone a piece of shit, my friend, especially someone you’ve never sat down and had a conversation (or even taken the time to wonder about her feelings!), but if anyone deserves that kind of language it’s not Ke$ha.
You may think that by shaming women for expressing their sexuality and having fun every once in a while, that you are somehow abolishing sexism. That in weeding out the less ‘deserving’ women you are gaining our sex more respect. This is not the case, and the fact that you and many others feel such a strong need to shame this woman who has done nothing wrong, especially not to you, shows that we still have a very far away to go.
Just to add to this, she does write songs, and has made a side profession of it. (She wrote the Britney Spears song Till the World Ends)
*Ahem* Gillian.
This new Kanye album is incredible. I’ve listened to New Slaves innumerable times in the past three days. I absolutely love the direction he’s taken. I will defend Kanye West forever. He’s a picturesque example of the personification of an Ayn Rand philosophy based life. It’s a philosophy I could never practice but he’s found himself in a position to do so. He is the best and what he does and is not afraid to give himself due praise for being so. I feel like he’s reached a level of success where he can make exactly the album he wants to make and completely ignore any outside influence regarding it’s direction. The album will be a commercial success because of who he is but I can’t imagine the general public giving it it’s due praise musically. But it’s absolute gold. Black Skinhead, New Slaves, and Blood on the Leaves will be in my regular rotation for a very long time to come. Well done sir. Well done.
Why Kanye West’s racially charged new single shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Here’s the discofied version of the Star Trek theme as played by a chubby Japanese guy on a trumpet that you were looking for.
This brings me joy.
