So Ke$ha -- that chick with the song about brushing your teeth with a bottle of Jack Daniel's -- is making the gossip rounds for slamming Britney Spears' tendency to lip-sync on tour.
"I think that's bullsh**," she said. "I don't think that's fair at all for people who are going to see the show. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance. No offense to her specifically."
Well, two things come to mind, Ke$ha:
1. You can't really sing.
2. You sure as hell can't dance.
And after the jump, I give you proof of both in the form of a live performance on the "Ellen" show.
See what I mean? Bouncing up and down is not dancing. "Tik-tok"-ing your arms around your head and doing a bad "robot" isn't dancing. Nor is fist-pumping, hopping across the stage and jumping up and down like a 19-year-old who showed extra cleave to get into a club. And the ability to not sing horribly live does not mean you sing well.
So maybe, Ke$ha, you should take a cue from Brit-Brit and focus on one or the other. No one likes Britney Spears for her amazing singing voice. We like her as an entertainer -- for that sexy, steamy, hip-gyrating and prancing around she does onstage to a catchy pop song.
And that's all that "Tik-Tok" is: catchy crap. Do I love it? Heck yes. Ke$ha ("Kesh," by the way, rhymes with "mesh," so say it right), but the girl is a train wreck. She looks like the trailer-park version of Serena van der Woodsen after a night with Dee Snyder. Lily Q. at The Frisky said it best: "Doesn't she realize that such an effed-up aesthetic must be earned?"
And have you seen the music video? It's frightening. She wakes up in a bathtub (just prior to the aforementioned Jack Daniel's teeth-brushing), disrespects a mother who's serving her family breakfast (whether Ke$ha is in her own house or that of a random family's remains unknown -- please vote below), then hops on her low-rider bicycle (we can only assume she's lost her license due to DUIs) to joy ride with Uncle Rico (because he looks like Mick Jagger). Then she gets arrested.
I'm all for music videos with a narrative (hello, Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me"), but this is ridiculous. The only thing Ke$ha has going for her is the catchiness of her music. She should be FLATTERED that people say she's the next Britney Spears. Say what you want about present-day Brit-Brit, old-school Britney (before she earned her right to be a nutjob) could dance.
And I'm going to sound old here, but Ke$ha is just a horrible role model. I know it's not a pop star's job, but when "Hit Me Baby One More Time" came out, critics were up in arms, saying the song encouraged domestic violence. Granted, Britney was 16 then, and at 22, Ke$ha is of legal age, but the girls who are listening to her music -- and I mean actually buying it (she sold more singles in one week on iTunes than any other female artist ever -- and I use "artist" in the purely technical sense) are much younger.
So Ke$-HA (ha, ha, ha), I'm going to suggest you STFU and get into the dance studio.
I wish the label updated the sales figure. I'm sure she's already at 130 million from singles, albums and videos combined.
Her label surely doesn't want to get the other labels (who sign the other bitches) mad, cause:
84 million records sold until 2004 + 19 million digital downloads in USA + 4 million albums in USA since 2004 = 107 million (and that's not counting worldwide album sales after 2004, cd singles after 2004 and digital downloads outside the USA), Britney owns the others' faves
I wish the first single sounds totally different from what she or anyone has done before. I think she can achieve this with Bloodshy And Avant. I really like what they did for Piece of Me.
I really want her to work with fresh and underground producers. I dont want this next album to sound anything like Blackout and Circus.
Does anyone know the list of producers she is working with?
I am reading some comments, I see Britney was really avant her time.... "Britney" came out too sexual for 2001, "In The Zone" sounds like it could be released this year and it would still eye-pop, "Blackout" was too electronic for 2007 and now everyone who's doing electronic is enjoying major success....
Anyway, I'm tired of people hating Baby One More Time (album) and Oops (album), C'mon You CAN'T BE BRITNEY FANS hating BOMT and OIDIA...
Baby One More Time is the most successful debut album EVER, magazines like Rolling Stone consider it to be one of the most influential, revolutionary and amazing albums ever.
Baby One More Time and Oops!...I Did It Again are iconic legendary albums and the two most successful pieces of work coming from Britney, Oops! was acclaimed by many critics... and BOMT/OIDIA are not even that similar...
If you listen to, Oops! has a lot of rock influences, and includes clear rock instrumentals also Britney's voice sounds better than it did in any other album of her career and a lot more mature and so did Britney's voice in BOMT album, sounding not better than Oops, but some of the best vocals in her career, no wonder both albums got nominations for best vocals at the Grammys they were eligible for.
Cut this crap and love this legendary pieces from the Queen!

You're so wrong. People CAN hate those albums. But that doesn't mean they don't recognize what those albums mean to Britney's career. Doesn't mean they HAVE to love the actual music on the albums. People appreciate the singles, and what those albums mean to her career, but the actual albums...just because some don't like them doesn't mean they aren't true Britney fans.
Also add to the fact that there are some people who didn't become major Brit fans until Britney, which seems weird since that's when her sales dropped, but it is true. And just recently Britney has gained fans because of Blackout.
I am one of those people who don't necessarily enjoy the first two albums, but I know that they are legendary/iconic and what their purpose are/were. Don't generalize or act like you know people, when you don't.
And frankly, I'm getting tired of this thread getting bumped with no news. Close it, if nothing is coming out right now.
Miley Cyrus' See You Again didn't have a video and it did REALLY well
what are you talking about? it DID have a video (a live one, but still a music video), it was all over music channels (UK at least) and i wouldnt say it did REALLY well
no. outrageous doesn't count. yeh it had radio ect. but it wasnt a real single release no promo or anything. im not sure about other countries but no one in the UK has heard of it unless from album or tour ect.

Fool? You shut the hell up. There is no news and there is not even a discussion. I have the right to be pissed the thread gets bumped for NOTHING to do with what it's meant.

I only said it because each time it's bumped I'm thinking we got more info. But no, it's just some stans discussing how fed up they are with Britney, or other useless things. Shut up, k?

Because it was only released as an official single in the US and Japan!!! Damn.
Just be quiet.
I wouldn't dare joke about Britney. 
When it gets closer, I will post what I know.
