She shouldn't allow herself to become a product of her label, it's good that she said this and everything and the song actually sounds okay, don't know why they didn't use it as a bonus track or something.. But they're screwing up her career at this point. She needs a new label or something, don't know how I feel about this..
I'm not a huge Ke$ha fan but I feel like she doesn't change herself to suit the general public, which I think is a good thing.. But hearing how controlled she is by her label, kinda makes me sad.

Bonnie hates Luke. Ke$ha tries to like Luke but he treats her like ****. He's really rude (that's not even a strong enough word) to "his" girls and threatens them if they perform badly.
I don't know the tea on Katy.

Can you explain the Bonnie situation further?  Dr. Luke didn't even produce American Girl though I guess he might have influenced the sound.

Any reciepts? Because I find it hard to believe, considering they are (mostly) on the same hits

I think Kemosabe is a publishing company. I don't know if I'm wrong

No sorry  I know what I've heard is true, but take it with a grain of salt if you want.
It really doesn't make sense right? But apparently he's not so nice behind closed doors and gets angry when new projects fail. And he treats them like crap and Bonnie doesn't like him much. I'm sure the truth will come out eventually. The person who told me told me to not to give exact details because it was a private convo, but yeah. Luke isn't the nice guy here.

I hope Kesha flops so hard that she bankrupts RCA. What an awful label... it seems like everybody on that label has issues like this.
Dr Luke is a cancer to the music industry. ZERO artistic freedom.

She needs to stand up to RCA and just leave the label. I think she is the type of person that would prefer to have little-moderate success doing what she loves then having moderate-high success doing something she doesnt.
I feel like with Warrior Ke$ha had taken what she had done with Animal and altered it to show more maturity and growth. It seemed as though Kemosabe didnt really want to invest as much time and money into Warrior because she was so unhappy with the sound. From here it will probably only get worse. She cant just keep making Animal 2.0's for the rest of her career.

It's more like Kelly is responsible for where Dr. Luke is today. He never had mainstream success before SUBG and BTHE, and that put him on the map. He only started working with P!nk and all of the other pop girls after that. He might still be playing bass guitar on SNL if it wasn't for Kelly. And he's only responsible for 3 of her hits, unlike K$. Kelly still has hits like Because of You, Breakaway, Stronger, Mr. Know It All, and Already Gone without the help of Luke. Whereas Ke$ha's entire success and breakthrough to the mainstream can only be attributed to Dr. Luke.
Ke$ha is responsible for this mess that she's in, she has no one to blame but herself. Did anyone force her to sign her soul over to Dr. Luke? Nope. She wanted hits, and she got hits. She now has to deal with the consequences. And seriously, it's not like Luke has absolutely authority over her entire career, that's absurd. And like Patrick stated above, she's still under the Sony label, so I guarantee that Doug Morris has a bigger say in which singles are to be released, than Luke does.
And another point, if K$ didn't want to do Warrior as she did, no one forced her to. Luke and RCA wanted him to executive produce Kelly's 3rd album, but she said no, worked with David Kahne, and made the album that she wanted. They still released it, even if Clive Davis sabotaged it. So, again, to insinuate that K$ had no control or say in the making of Warrior, is absurd. She could have done what she wanted, she just didn't have to stones to stare Luke and her label down, like Kelly did. So now she's upset that Warrior's reception isn't what they intended, and she's being petty and ungrateful. She made her choices.

Youtube sound so biased and ignorant. Like are u serious right now? When you're an aspiring singer all you want is to get signed. You want to have hits and be known. When you first signed you do not know what's gonna happen after 3 years. Maybe you do, are you a psychic?? Kesha is clearly not. Excuse for not being able to see the future like you.
One thing is being grateful for your career which I'm sure she is and another thing is let your boss/label decide everything regarding your career. Did you not read about dr. Luke and what he did femme fatale? If he did that to a Britney record you don't think he would do whatever he wants to k$ who's under her label? 
Is obvious you're not a k$ fan by any means but if u were you'd understand that her fans want more than just dr luke songs. Or at least a little variety and Luke/label won't allow that.

I love this bitch so much 
He seems like an asshole and ruined the whole project. It was supposed to be a new sound I originally thought, looks like he did what he did to FF again and made it generic and basic. If I were her I'd be furious.

You can only ever protest against your label when you're still selling millions of records. It was easy for Kelly and Avril at the time coming off of multi-platinum albums... but at what cost? Look at both their album sales now? Their protest caused label to **** up their eras, with no support, and both ladies now sell under 2 million albums each era.... yeah it's not flop but nothing compared to their eras before.
Now Ke$ha has sold like 200k album on her new era.. you think a label will give a **** what she has to say when she has probably cost them more money than brought in? Nope. They'd rather drop her than put up with her ****. She will have no future income for them anyway, unlike Avril or Kelly who are still selling quite well. Advice for Ke$ha. Just do what label says, hope for another big era and get out of that shithole once your deal is up!

RCA used to treat her so well, but she needs to leave now. She just had a top 3 single so she will have no problem finding a better label. Imagine her with Capital, or Interscope. They would give her so much more success.

And you think people can just get up and walk out of a label? How naive. She probably signed a 4-6 album deal. She's their bitch until those albums are released.

And her MTV show was a success + got a second season so there is still public interest for her. It's not her fault the public didn't use Crazy Kids or CMon, I doubt she used them either.

No, she isn't. Look what Kelly Clarkson did with My December. The album flopped but it was exactly what she wanted on it. She can get out of a contract if she wants to.

This is better than like 70% of the tracks on her album.
Should have been included

But Kelly does still sell well. "Stronger" sold over 1 million in the US as of early 2013. Can't speak for Avril though.
