Has an artist these days ever been so astonishing? In her first year, this electropop goddess named Ke$ha went from unknown LA sonwriter to the world’s biggest pop star this side of Britney Spears. Ke$ha’s brand of pop is shamelessly brash singing about money, celebrity, sex, clubbing, or a sticky combination of all four. It’s insipid subject matter, unless you consider Ke$ha as less of a silly, manufactured blonde than an ingenious artist playing the part of a glitzy pop star. Witness Ke$ha’s impeccably sleek opening songs, from the carelessly rambling chorus of Tik Tok to the snappy, futuristic beat of Blah Blah Blah: Ke$ha’s got the creativity and utter pop sensability in ways that most other Top 40 tunes do not. Often compared to the brilliance of Uffie’s lyrical genius, Ke$ha’s vocals are in fact more meaningful and honest, allowing her a certain stylistic versatility, and her personae alternate from wild party kid to vulnerable lover. For instance, when she sings, “Everybody getting crunk (crunk), boys try to touch my junk (junk), Gonna smack em if they gettin’ too drunk (drunk),” she’s saying that she’s not going to take a man’s chauvinistic disrespect toward women. She’s saying she’s a strong woman and than she’s willing to squash those party girl stereotypes. Her risks always pay off, making her a strong force in the world of pop music. She is intense and superb enough to ensure that she’ll be basking in our attention for a very long time. Thank God.

This week he have the distinct honor of having Ke$ha answer a special edition Kuesitonnaire. Oh and go buy here album Animal .

8. What is the album you listen to on a cold rainy day?
I don’t know if you’ve been to LA or not but it never rains here. Maybe like, once a year or something. But it rained here a lot recently, so I guess I listened to the radio and Crash Test Dummies was on. So can I say Crash Test Dummies?

12. Is image a factor in music or is it a waste of time?
Style is definitely not unique and can not be used when judging someone. Basically my entire life I have seen the same exact woman walking the streets of my town, day and night, summer or winter in the same exact clothes. If we can’t see past appearance then judging can be a tremendous error. My music transcends that. I’m just doing what I love and loving what I do. My style is my own and I strut my shit the same as anyone else. Did I answer that right? Can I have Grey Goose now?

No really, I’m lonely.

Cool. I’m cool. Or maybe I’m just ready for the next day, ya know? Ready for what happens next in my life. I love what I do and do what I love and what love I do and Do love what I and I do love what……oh man did I fail?
