CK was a risky choice RT @christinesuxx: @bwerde do u think ke$ha should have gone with last goodbye as a single instead of crazy kids?
Queen of Risks? her label wont let her release anything that isnt a Tik Tok sounding mess..
This isnt meant as shade. Crazy Kids was risky for all the wrong reasons, the Chrous and verse combination is just not the sound that is in right now however Last Goodbye is.
I also think that it was risky but I also didn't ever see it smashing. Last Goodbye on the other hand, I could see doing moderately well...all the way up to completel destructive slayage. Who really knows.
This. Y'all must be out of your minds if your first thought is, "omg Bill Werde thinks Crazy Kids is an envelope pushing, risky pop offering, no wonder it's doing so poorly! The public isn't ready for a forward-thinking, progressive track like Crazy Kids."
kesha is the queen of risks, this information is something we already know.
Meanwhile she went with tik tok with guitars and tik tok 8.0 as her first two singles.
Its a shame really as there are quite a few really good commercial tracks on her album that wouldve done well but her label just chose pretty poor songs all around.
