In a way, I won't be too upset if this era comes to a quick close. A wake up call may really be essential, for her to reevaluate the status of her career, and what music she really needs to be making next time around. Whatever happens, happens. Obviously I want Warrior to have really great longevity and spawn more hits, but it's okay if that doesn't happen, I suppose.

Well, since she isn't selling albums, and if she isn't selling singles, and she isn't really established within RCA like Christina Aguilera or Avril Lavigne, she has a chance of getting dropped, but when artist make contracts, they do it based on records and not years, typically 3-4 albums a contract. Basically just ensuring that under the label you are to make the number of CD's that is stated in the contract. If Ke$ha signed to make three, then she is required to make three before having the option of leaving, or renewing the contract if they ask her to.
So, lets say C'Mon flops like it peaks at 39 flop, I doubt RCA would spend money on releasing and promoting a third single, and I doubt they are going to pay for her to tour. So the era would basically be cut there.
My guess, is if that happens, they'll make her do another CD that would be released in 2013. If that flops then she won't get another contract from them, and be dropped.
I mean she can sue to be taken out of her contract, but that cost a ton of money, and even though she's mainly under Kemosabe, Dr. Luke's company, RCA heavily provides the finances for marketing and distribution. As well as her touring budget.
SO really all her coins rest in the shoulders of how well C'Mon does.

Although Luke and Ke$ha work together really well it would be cool if she could branch out and find out producers who she can make fun/catchy/different songs with. Calvin Harris, Matt Squire, Max Martin, Jeff Bhasker, Greg Kurstin, Shellback, Paul Epworth, Diplo, Toby Gab, Zedd. If she made an album with just these names it would still ****, she doesn't NEED luke

I was just guessing on three since that's usually what you sign for, but I don't think EP's really count

The producers she was working with pre-Warrior actually sounded interesting, and I'm eager for the songs she made with them to leak.
I'd love to see what kind of different direction she wanted to go, because I'm 100% positive RCA was the reason for Dr. Luke being on like 99.9% of the album

Actually, if she ever happened to be dropped, she has a lot of indie industry friends, so she can get signed to an indie label with ease. That won't make her money but she might make more of selling records and she'll make the music she always had the ambition of making.

I would probably stop being a fan if she dropped the electro/pop music altogether

I'd definitely stop stanning for Ke$ha if she stopped making electropop music.

I would give it a chance.. but I would be so disappointed unless the music was somehow really amazing. Her electro songs **** all over the others. I wouldn't mind electro/indie like Last Goodbye though. But I doubt she would ever ditch pop anyways.

Ahhhhhh! I would love her to join an indie label. She would have so much more freedom and the music would be stellar.

Your collection's awesome. And it reminds me that I still need to add the Die Young single to my own! Also, I still sometimes find myself wishing that Take It Off had gotten a physical release.  |
Not yet, I'm kind of scared to since I heard it was awful.
And yes, Take It Off is one of my favorite single covers of hers.

Same. The only song I can tolerate being a single is 'Crazy Kids'.

I wouldn't mind a short era. That most likely means new music much sooner. We should get 4 though. Even if C'mon magically flops, I still think they'll release a 3rd which better be the obvious choice

Death at you all saying you'd stop using her if she dropped electro pop music. And you call yourselves Animals
