Opening My Mind to Ke$ha

Posted: June 17th, 2010 at 11:40 am | By: Alison Bonaguro

I'm still not quite sure how you pronounce a stylized name with a dollar sign in it. And, I'm still not totally sold on Ke$ha's big electro-pop-dance hits like "Tik Tok" (although I do kind of dig the line about "before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack"). But you know what? I've realized she's a good ol' Nashville girl, and so last night (June 16) she put on a massive flood relief show at Nashville's Limelight club. All the profits -- literally 100 percent -- are going to help flood victims. She told The Tennessean newspaper, "I'm really in the position finally to help in a big way, which is to me one of the biggest upsides of the whole fame thing. Really, the only part of celebrity culture I take seriously is the fact that I am going to get to reach a lot of people about something this serious, that a lot of people need to be aware of." That sounds like something a country star might say.

I don’t have a clue who this person is but glad she’s trying to help Nashville.

Good for her. My kids like her music. She is a pop star.

It’s nice of her to help, but her music is bottom of the barrel drivel that reflects everything wrong with today’s music industry.

Yeah my dad would complain about what I listened too. Calling it junk. This was in the 80’s. Its a sign of age.
Kids will hear it somewhere else. Probably know who she is if they go to school.
Glad my sons prek bus played country. :)
I dont know her either think its awesome she helped!

being the daughter of a country songwriter, i think time will come when she’ll abandon her auto-tunes voice (i saw it somewhere that she can really sing even without the aid of auto-tune) and sing something country. doesn’t matter if it’s carrie underwood country or miss leslie country…
