I really dislike your take on pop artists in comparison with less mainstream artists. Just because an artist is played on Top 40 radio doesn't mean that they should have any less artistic integrity than independent acts.
Also, different people care about different things. Some people find product placement tacky no matter who the artist is.
You really don't know anything about my take on pop artists in comparison to the less mainstream. All you know is that I don't think product placement in a pop video is a matter of concern because the pop artist is a form of a product themselves. They're a brand. They have things to promote. Its understandable. Product placement doesn't have ANYTHING to do with integrity for them and I understand that and I think you should too. Stop being naive.
Cause you've been blowing me up on the cellyphone.

If "Blah Blah Blah" wasn't the second single, "Backstabber" was going to be... both are amazing tracks but really should have been later singles or stayed as album tracks. Overall I'm pretty happy with how the Animal era went, so I probably wouldn't change it given the chance, but I feel that if perhaps "Your Love Is My Drug" was maybe the second single it would have smashed harder than it did as a third single and gotten that #1 it was snubbed... then "Take It Off" as third single, it would have gone Top 5 definitely, perhaps #1 with the right promo. "Kiss N Tell" could then have been the fourth single and it would have also gone Top 10, higher depending on how well Take It Off did I guess. "Animal" could have closed out the era for a fifth Top 10 hit, but it maybe wouldn't have been necessary or good for Ke$ha at that time in her career... she could have saved a more meaningful single for "The Harold Song" after "Blow" which was definitely snubbed.
In my opinion Take It Off was a mistake as a single. The fans (particularly gay guys) seem to like the song for some reason but coming from someone that was a casual fan at the time the song is kind of a turn off. I don't think it ever stood a chance of doing well. Backstabber had more commercial appeal. I don't think Blah Blah Blah was a bad single choice either, I mean imo it didn't do that well because it came out directly after Tik Tok which was enormous therefore it was in its shadow and it contained 3OH!3 who were kind of wack. Idk. Blah Blah Blah was a better single than Take It Off imo. I think the only reason fans think of it as a mistake was because they had their own idea of what would've been the perfect second single and then when she released it they were like really? lol
Lmao. Not hating on it, but Pretty Lady was so mediocre and tacky imo. But whatever.
AGREE. It baffles me how positively the fans react to it. Every single time. I don't even think its mediocre I think its straight up bad music. I mean she sounds awful in it and the music itself is like a cheap cliche idea of what "rock" sounds like.
