Kesha Smashes Lady Gaga’s Airplay Record With Her Debut Single

From her dollar-signed moniker onwards, 22-year-old Kesha Sebert follows Lady Gaga as the newest paragon of shameful pop exhibitionism. A ribald electro-trash diva pitched somewhere between Gaga, Katy Perry and Peaches, on this debut she dispenses rap-sung stories of drunkenness, debauchery and dudes over thumping beats from crack hitmakers Dr Luke and Max Martin. There isn’t any doubting the hooky attract of tunes like “TiK ToK” and “Take It Off”, but over sixteen tracks, sameyness intrudes, while earnest ballads “Hungover” and “Dancing With Tears In My Eyes” betray the typical soul lurking underneath the controversy-baiting accoutrements. At 1 time, in a Taylor Swift / Kesha cuddle, the spangly dressed vocalists literally became hooked on one another when their dresses meshed so well that they were literally attached for 1 or 2 seconds. Another sure-to-be-remembered taking place at the Beverly Hilton yesterday evening came from not one of the artists, but one of the newshounds. MTV newsman Sway Calloway took the mic to sing a bit of Tik Tok to Kesha, who seemed delighted by the turnabout. Kesha Sebert, who was featured lately in The Tennessean is a local who attended Brentwood highschool and is making it hot on the pop charts with a song called “TiK ToK.” the 1st line goes something similar to : “Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy, Grab my glasses, I am out the door, I am going to hit this town. Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack ‘Cause when I leave for the night, I ain’t coming back.”.
