Ke$ha performed on Saturday Night Live last night. Apparently she had the #1 single in America for a while, called "Tik Tok." The song is about living in Los Angeles and having a party lifestyle, so I think teens + tweens were into it, cuz she says that she brushes her teeth with a 'bottle of Jack' in the song. I think she really 'tanked' on stage. Like she should have just 'pooped' on stage, then rolled around in it for a while, and it would have been an identical consumer experience.

A lot of people call Ke$ha some sort of product that was meant to appeal to people as an after-market Lady Gaga product. Sort of like a touch pad phone that isn't an iPhone. I feel bad for her, like she has no identity. Must be hard to be a female musicians, since you can only be like 2-3 types of performers.
Not sure how I am supposed to feel about her vocals when she performs live. She seems to be a studio musician who relies on auto-tune rapping, so she probably ruins her brand whenever she performs live.

In her performance of "Your Love is My Drug", she painted her body with glow-in-the-dark paint, and made her entire backing band + dancers do the same. Probably looked 'hella tacky' on HD TV.
I wonder what it is like to be in the 'backing band' of an artist like Ke$ha. Even when her ideas suck, do u just have to 'run with them' or else you get fired? I feel like it might be the same as having an out-of-touch, tyrannical boss.

Is this the greatest performance in the history of SNL?
Should SNL stick with mainstream indie bands?
Is Ke$ha authentic?
Is Ke$ha 'better than Uffie'?
Is Ke$ha just a poor man's Lady Gaga?
Is Ke$ha sexy, or does she look exactly like John Travolta?
