'I plan on making a lot more records, and hopefully one of them will be Grammy-worthy,' singer tells Vanity Fair.
Last year was full of breakout music stars, including Ke$ha, who ruled the scene with a string of dance-pop hits (and a massive overflow of glitter). But not everyone is a Ke$ha fan: The singer was snubbed when the 2011 Grammy nominees were announced in December.
The starlet recently spoke to Vanity Fair about the Grammy snub and said she's determined to score a nod sometime later in her career. And after calling the Recording Academy's award "not that big a deal," Ke$ha admitted that she was saddened by her lack of nominations.
"Of course I do," the singer said when asked if she wanted a Grammy. "I was disappointed that I didn't get nominated. But I've only been around for a year. I'm friends with the Black Keys, and they were nominated for the first time this year. And they've been around for a decade. That's like half my life, so I really can't be a brat about it."
Ke$ha isn't bitter about the situation either, telling the magazine, "I plan on making a lot more records, and hopefully one of them will be Grammy-worthy."
While she may not be gearing up for the big show on Sunday night, Ke$ha is prepping for the launch of her first North American headlining tour, the Get $leazy Tour. The country-wide trek is scheduled to kick off on Tuesday in Portland, Oregon, and continue through May.
Her music really isn't Grammy-worthy, tbh. But they have rewarded a bunch of crap over the years (i.e Milli Vanilli - revoking the Grammy won't change the fact that you still rewarded a garbage pop act even if the vocals were theirs!). But her label submitted her so wrongly. "Tik Tok" in Best Female Pop Vocal Performance? Animal in Best Pop Vocal Album? The competition was too stiff for Best New Artist and the other big categories.
I think Dance Recording would've been better, I agree. But she's fairly new, but she'll be around to get her chance to snag a few. ^^ And I'm happy she responded the way she did, with a "Yeah, I'm bummed, but I can only look forward and work on it" attitude.
