What would happen if G.R.L. sung Ke$ha's parts on "Timber?" Would it have gave Pitbull his first HDD #1, would it have gave Pitbull his first iTunes #1? Would it have reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100? Since Pitbull is so major, how's "Wild Wild Love" doing? Didn't his last album debut at number #14? Oh, but yeah, Pitbull is SO MUCH bigger than Kesha. Kesha should be THANKFUL for being on a song with Pitbull. These statements all make perfect sense. Have a good night, ATRL.
...Vin
lol... by that logic why did none of the songs in the warrior era go #1 on HDD. He has several major hits, she has like 3
Every person from my school thinks Timber is by Ke$ha. Most of them don't even know who the rapper is
That was rude of him, she wrote and song and provided the best vocals on the whole track, while he only did 2 mediocre verses. Besides, animals were the ones voting for the award so K$ should have at least gotten mentioned. I'm pissed.
you guys don't realize, the song didn't smash based on anyones name. it's a catchy song that incorporates many popular trends. It would've smashed with anyone. Pitbull has an ear for hits and it doesn't matter whos singing the hook, his name is enough to get pop radio to play it and if it smashes it smashes. Its the same with flo rida

Sis....Tik Tok, Your Love is My Drug, We R Who We R and Die Young were huge hits. Blah Blah Blah, Take It Off and Blow were big too. Don't pretend like Ke$ha is a nobody
The award was for COLLABORATION. He should have thanked her.
But Pitbull is a very nice guy, Im sure he honestly forgot because he did mention he was nervous.
But you stupid ass people acting like Kesha is insignificant here, the song was a SMASH because of her part,the ANIMALS were the ones voting their asses off for that award Pitbull just won. Kesha may not be as successful as before...but do not try to take credit away from her.
This.
I'm sure that wasn't intentional but it looks ungrateful since Kesha co-wrote the song and her part is the reason why the song was successful.
He did thank her on Twitter but not doing it on stage was rude.
Why do threads like these always become Pitbull vs. Kesha?
Pitbull is a WW force, don't get me wrong. Both artists contributed to the song, that's why I always find arguments like "Kesha gave Pitbull his biggest hit!" or "Pitbull saved Kesha's flop career" redundant, because neither did anything of the sort, they both collaborated and they both scored a hit. It's really that simple. What this thread is about is Pitbull's lack of acknowledgement of Kesha's contribution to the track, which is frankly more than Pitbull's himself, taking the track length into consideration, but also the fact that Kesha's fanbase is the main reason why Pitbull won the award.
What's strange is that Pitbull has given credit to Kesha for Timber in the past and seems very genuine in his thankfulness towards her, so it was almost out of character for him not to thank her. I'm still not totally convinced that things are okay behind the scenes. She wasn't even there to accept the award.
Why are people comparing their careers and their success? It won best collab. Regardless of whoever he collabed with, he should have given a simple thank you for being on the track
The award was for best collaboration, collaboration means 2 or more people! Pitbull should of thanked Kesha and it was us animals who won that award for Pitbull, the least he could do is thank her on tv

Exactly. The song smashed because it was cool. Had it been any other female singer singing the chorus, it would have smashed anyway.
Absolutely absurd that you all want to brush off Ke$ha's contribution like nothing.. she MADE the song..
Pitbull is a disgrace for not thinking her... I can't hate him more than I do now
