I think one thing we should learn from Kesha's, Britney's, and Gaga's "underperforming" singles/albums, is that success isnt necessarily based on sales. Before Work Bitch dropped on itunes, I was upset that Warrior flopped and I pretty much blamed Dr Luke. U4EA is right in that for some of us Animals, we like to put all the blame on Dr. Luke which is unfair because he's actually a good producer and has produced some brilliant tracks with kesha (and other artists). After Work Bitch free falled on itunes, I realised that the most important thing is the MUSIC. If the music is of high quality, the fans like it, and the artist is proud of it, then for the most part, it was a success. Music is meant to make you feel a certain way, whether it's meant to make you dance, sing, laugh or cry. Warrior is an excellent body of work, not one song is bad or filler, and we get a real sense of Kesha as a person. All in all, I'll look at Warrior in ten years time with love
Would anyone care about Ke$ha's creative control, or the lack thereof, if Warrior had been a commercial success? This petition is so callow and adolescent. Not to mention presumptuous considering we don't actually know what the woman herself really thinks of the situation. Yes, I do in fact have a sneaking suspicion that Ke$ha is less affected by this than some of the Animals are. I doubt she was naïve enough to expect full creative control after just one studio album. Besides, if Warrior is disingenuous, then mustn't Animal be as well? Why did no one whine about that? 
I firmly believe that some just want a scapegoat; someone to put the blame on for this era's underperformance. Yeah, mistakes were definitely made, and Ke$ha really was wronged a few times, but all of this doom and gloom is so futile, melodramatic, and unnecessary. Nothing will come of it.
