I wish but I'm not that talented, I'd have made it more juicy too. The truth shall set you free, and it's right in front of us as you can see from this vid.

Not very politically correct yet true, in a way.

I do not think that Ke$ha really influenced anyone. The electro-pop sound was made huge with Just Dance and Poker Face, later with Boom Boom Pow and I Gotta Feeling, Tik Tok, Sexy Bitch, etc
No one can deny that It was Lady GaGa the one who shaped the road for the following moves on almost every pop star(I would like to point out that Beyonce did not borrow this electro-pop sound and managed to slay everyone's fave, not that I'm a beyonce stan anyway)
Let's look it this way
2005 Kelly Clarkson(rock/pop) and Mariah Carey(RnB) Gwen Stefani(pop) were the most successful female artists
2006 Nelly Furtado (mixture of genres) was the most successful female artist
2007 Rihanna (RnB mostly and mixture of genres) Fergie (RnB Pop mostly) P!nk (pop/rock) Avril Lavigne (pop/rock) Beyonce(RnB) were the most successful female artists
2008 Rihanna (Still RnB) Katy Perry (pop/rock) were the most successful female artists
2009 Lady GaGa (electro-pop) Beyonce (still RnB) Taylor Swif (country/pop) were the most successful female artists
2010 Lady Gaga continued her reign, Ke$ha followed the electro-pop sound and smashed, Rihanna sold her soul to this electro-pop wave after a master piece like Rated R with the release of Loud and got her fastest-selling album in a span of 7 weeks. Katy Perry threw away her pop/rock sound and embraced a electro-pop sound to horrible reviews, but obtaining 3 #1 singles, and an album of the year nomination.

I would like to point out that many of you have the right to mention both 'Blackout' and 'Circus' as a forerunner of this electro-pop movement, but let's not forget that both era were not as successful as Nelly Furtado, Rihanna, Fergie, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and even Ke$ha's eras, and both album were clearly influenced by Timbaland's work with Justin Timberlake, who I might consider the truly forerunner of the electro-pop movement (of course with the help of timbo) Madonna also tried to include this in her music, but it also failed to impress the world (of course her tours are the highest grossing tours, but that is mainly for her 'Queen Of Pop' status.
Finally, I would like to say that Hold It Against Me is the first comeback single of Britney that I did not find interesting at all. I followed Britney from the beginning and 'Oops I Did It Again', 'I'm a Slave 4 U', 'Me Against The Music' ,'Gimme More' and 'Womanizer' were genious in their respective time. Hell even '3' was interesting at some point, but 'Hold It Against Me' is weak and might even appeared as a left-over of Ke$ha's Cannibal.

TOO LONG! Sorry.

What about Don't Stop the Music and Disturbia? Rihanna was one of the first to go with that dance sound in radio

Was this thread supposed to be serious? Cause to me it just seems like Free Laughs Land.

Dance music was dead back in 2006, so Cascada did have some effect whether it be minor or major, none of us know on who influenced who...

And this is obviously the latter!

Yes but even some serious media outlet called Bionic a GaGa ripoff in spite of the fact it is not.

I don't think HIAM is a bad song, but it's definitely signified the end of Britney Spears as the most relevant force in pop. GaGa, Ke$ha, Katy and Rihanna have all released better music recently. She's following them.

I disagree. There's still no artist that has been that groundbreaking since Britney's debut. The other girls do not and will not have the hype around them that Britney has had with this one single. It's hard to make a statement like that when we've only heard one song with a poor choice of producers, no music video, and no performances. Wait until the Grammy performance. Wait until the video drops. Wait until the album leaks. Then I will view this statement as a valid opinion, but right now it's still way too soon to tell. HIAM may fall flat (which isn't looking likely) or may be the next best thing. Her staying power is obvious, she's already #1 on iTunes.

Not sure about Katy though...

Exactly. That's the only acknowledgment I'm trying to put out there. K$ being tossed to the side as if she's had no impact whatsoever is unjust, especially when the entirety of "Teenage Dream" sounds like "Animal," despite being produced by Dr. Luke.

A 2008 artist influencing a 1998 artist, now that's power. Cheers, drink to that.

Haha, Nicole! Why you trippin'? Now you KNOW what I meant! Haha. As in Ke$ha's distinct sound leading the way for the way females sound in 2010/2011.

Lady Gaga is not electro-pop. I never understood the comparisons between Lady Gaga and Ke$ha. Their looks and sounds are completely different to me. Ke$ha is in the electro and borderline rave genre. Lady Gaga is purely in the dance genre. It's softer than electro. That being said, I disagree that Lady Gaga has "paved the way for the new girls" as you and others are constantly suggesting. In terms of music, the only thing Gaga has done was bring theatricality back to the industry, otherwise, her videos and "fashion" outshine her music. I believe Gaga has had a bigger influence in the way female pop stars dress -- going for more attention-grabbing wigs and costume wear. But her music and RedOne productions are far from ground-breaking, in my opinion. Electro is more popular in the US than dance, thus, a better argument would be to suggest "The E.N.D." as being the main catalyst for a musical rebirth, rather than Lady Gaga. And from "The E.N.D.," Ke$ha was born, the hard-hitting female electro front-runner, and from her success, other females went for a hard-hitting pop sound and "Only Girl (In The World)," the album "Teenage Dream," and perhaps even "Hold It Against Me," came to fruition -- this is the point I'm trying to make with this thread... not "Britney and Katy were inspired by Ke$ha."

...Vin

Яeo.

It's not Ke$ha, it's TiK ToK. Once Dr. Luke found out that every songs that he produces in that style becomes a hit, he'll never stop creating duplicites of it.

Did B.o.B lead the way for Eminem, T.I.?
Did BEP lead the way to Flo-Rida?

THIS.
Most new female artist these days (or some before Lady Gaga) has been influenced by this one amazing woman: LADY GAGA.

Great point

The Ri-son!

i'll say it again "sexy back" officially started the current dance movement..."dont stop the music" followed later and then blackout hit...and that is all...like the poster said above ke$ha has more to do with the current sound of today more than gaga...gaga is pure pop to me i wouldnt call any of her songs dance or electro pop imo

I love how Christina gets burned for copying Lady Gaga on Bionic, when nothing on Bionic sounds like Gaga. Meanwhile Britney absolutely cannot be accused of following trends. Oh no...not Britney. If anything she made HIAM waay before Kesha was born. Giiirls. I don't care if your career started in 1801, it is very possible to be inspired by particular new movements in 2010.

I'll use Madonna as an example again. Hard Candy was clearly inspired by Timbaland's production on Nelly Furtado's Loose. She wanted that trendy sound. The same goes for a lot of pop acts today. From Dr. Luke to RedOne, these producers are handy out hits that may sound similiar to produce similar success. I really don't think it is one particular artist, just this particular era that inspires producers to make these type of songs.

The OP worded the title wrong. It should have asked: "Is HIAM inspired by Ke$ha's sound?"
