Ke$ha is interviewed in the new issue of Rolling Stone, and I’m beginning to revise my opinion of her after reading it. Sure, I still think she’s a Drunk Child, and sure, I still think she needs to go back to school or whatever and stop trying to pretend like she’s the most innovative artist ever. But… she does have a story, and an interesting point of view. Eh. I’m not saying I like her, just that I don’t hate her near as much.
The biggest story coming out of this interview is probably about Ke$ha’s parentage. According to her, she has no idea who her dad is, and she never had a clue: “’My mom was involved in astrology and wanted me to be a Pisces, and she went through the necessary ways of having a child. And she didn’t want a man telling her what and what not to do. I always kind of wondered – my mom talked about guys named Pat the Rat, or this guy Bob, or John. She just wanted a baby. It’s an interesting topic of conversation to other people more so than it is to myself. I don’t obsess about it. Maybe I’m in denial. Maybe I need a therapist. But I had a very complete childhood. I don’t feel like I missed out on anything.” Well… that’s an interesting story, it really is. It makes me… like her a little. Damn it!
Here’s more from the interview. I’m just going to do her quotes, so this is like the Jefferson Bible of Kesha:
“I’ve kissed girls before. But my preference is a wiener.”
“I’ve had a few drinks in my life – I think the cat’s out of the bag on that one.”
“I need to go on a walk every day, like a dog.”
“I’m pretty sure in my past life I was a dude, because I talk like a dude and act like a dude… my mom always taught me to be tough.”
“I like to go to the jungle at least once a year, get away from human beings and not use my people voice, just my animal voice. I know it sounds crazy, but I like connecting with the Earth on a real level.”
“[My mom] is the original badass.”
“I met [Ringo] at the Grammys, and he congratulated me on my album! I threw up in my mouth a little bit. I said, ‘Congratulations on being a f-ckin’ Beatle!’”
“I got a call from this guy saying, ‘Hey I think I’m your birth father.’ I said, ‘Mom is this legit?’ and she said, ‘Maybe.’ You know how I knew [he and I] weren’t related? You know those video game chairs like the guy has in 40 Year Old Virgin? He so had one of those. I was like, ‘There is no way that half my DNA is made up of a guy who has a video-game chair and plays in it all the time. [I didn’t get the DNA test], I operate on instinct.”
“My last boyfriend smashed my heart into a million billion pieces. I’ve had no father figure and I had finally trusted a man. If I were to get involved with another guy, he’d have to be pretty much be the Second Coming.”
[From Rolling Stone, print edition]
She’s kind of interesting, isn’t she? Not in the way she thinks she is, of course. She thinks she’s a genius, and the most hardcore thing around. She’s neither, but I do applaud her for not being the little pretty princess-gumdrop-accessible pop star. She’s not Britney, she’s not Avril, she’s not Gaga, but she might not be a flash in the pain either.
Finally, I know everyone has been trying to erase her horrible, laser-filled, fake Native American Saturday Night Live performance out of their heads, but Kesha did address us, the haters in the cheap seats: “I was happy with the way it turned out. F-ck cynicism. F-ck the cynics. They can say whatever they want, because I’ll be the one in the corner with my laser gloves having a dance party.” Well, that’s actually a pretty healthy attitude to have, Kesha. Bless your lasers.

Meh. She is just annoying.

I was going to say something deep and insightful but decided instead to say she ought to look into the possibility that her dad is a camel, judging by the permanent “toe” she’s sporting.

She is the poor man’s Lady GaGa, but what I don’t like about her is the fact that she plays up the patriotism/nationalistic issue with American flags.

Argh…..where is her mother, so I can beat her ass? It urkes the shit out of me when people don’t legitimately understand astrology, and think they can manipulate it in order to micromanage the universe. All most people know are crap columns they read in the back of Cosmo. It does the discipline of astrology a great disservice as well as shows a profound misconception about how the laws of nature work.
Reminds me of a story I once read about a couple who were into astrology and tried to ascertain astrological factors so that they could manipulate the universe into having a perfect child. Needless to say, the child came out severely retarded and they converted to Christianity.

I thought her SNL performance was wretched but “I’ll be the one in the corner with my laser gloves having a dance party” is a pretty awesome quote.

I’m more disturbed by how they pronounce her name than her other issues. Keh-sha? That sounds retarded.
I thought it was Kee-sha for a little while. Then Ryan Philippe announced her on SNL and I felt the same way he did when he had to vocalize her name-ickk.
She can’t sing, she can’t dance, and she can’t speak… Sounds like another blonde american hollywood dream!

I really like her – she seems authentic, not one of the manufactured popstrels that usually passes for “music” – plus she’s hilarious, I’ve seen her in interviews and she is seriously funny. Knows her muscial history too. She gave a bad SNL performance, whatever. Go Kesha!

It annoys me to no end when celebrities (mostly women) who’ve had meaningless, drunken hook-ups with members of the same sex claim to be “bisexual” in an effort to make themselves seem alternative, or (in most cases) to titillate men and create a stir in the media.

@VictoryGin:”Reminds me of a story I once read about a couple who were into astrology and tried to ascertain astrological factors so that they could manipulate the universe into having a perfect child. Needless to say, the child came out severely retarded and they converted to Christianity.”
Best thing that ever happened to them.
I greatly admire your posts VictoryGin, but we’ll just have to agree to disagree on the veracity of astrology.

Is a video game chair really that different than laser gloves? I wonder how it is that she has a complex against men when it was her mother who made sure she had no father? A man who could be her father came to her and she completely rejected him so now she’s the one feeding her own insecurities. Sounds like her mother is one selfish bitch. You know, the kind of woman who thinks we all admire her for being strong when in actuality she’s just an ass.

So it is “keh-sha” and not “kee-sha”. And to think, my mom was pronouncing it right all along. She’s american?

I don’t believe her. It sounds like BS. And “my mom wanted a Pisces” and “my mom always taught me to be tough” seem to be contradictory statements. NOT that Pisces can’t be STRONG, but “acting tough” seems more the province of a fire sign like Aries, IF you buy into astrology.

Now, that’s a camel toe! Compared to the singer outside the Ivy in a black unitard, it’s no contest.
I didn’t read it because she’s a non-person to me. Yeah, I’m like a kid – I just look at the pictures (when she’s involved).
Stephen Colbert pronounces her name “keh-dollar-sign-ha”. That’s how I say it too!

AGAIN the inconsistencies. Just like the naomi campbell post. THIS is why I dislike these types of people; their little contrived soundbites to make us think they’re likable are proven to be forced by the end of the interview.
“It’s no big deal. I don’t obsess over it. I had a complete, happy childhood.”
“I didn’t have a dad. If I were to trust a man again, it would have to be the 2nd coming.”
So which? You’re playing the neurotic card and you know you’re effed up and you need a therapist, or your life is just so crazy and abnormal you aren’t even phased by these things us regular folks might be?

Sorry, Sallyjay, she’s contrived and inauthentic as most of them are. Check out her middle school rendition of Radiohead which is all over youtube for a start. Her mother I believe has Nashville connections (no surprise) and she’s an insult to all real musicians. Why didn’t she discuss her horrible SNL peformance which was commendably ripped by posters a while back on this site. WHy is she getting a pass; she’s contrived trash and needs to disappear for good in her gin bottle.

I appreciate how she is a proud American sporting the flag. Other celebs like Madonna & Gaga born and raised in US, throw on fake English accents – plleeaassee

Besides copying her style to some degree, she does have a facial resemblance to Lady Gage. Maybe they’re secret siblings. : )

Kim, putting a flag on a microphone and wearing is a cape while prancing around in all her talentless glory is patriotic? I guess some people will always have a Pavlovian response with the see the starts and stripes.

Her “sexy look” is not sexy at all.

The only thing really interesting about her story is her mother… I mean a lot of kids grew up without fathers, the party with the laser glove quote was actually really good. I still think John T is her father. It’s uncanny that she looks like the female version of him… freaks me out a little.
Also I like some of her songs but she makes me itch when I see her.

I don’t listen to the girl, but I think the pic second from the bottom kinda looks like Jon Gosselin’s ex, the wonderful Hailey girl.
Also, what’s the story about John Travolta?

BLAH BLAH BLAH is the only fucking thing that can come out of her mouth! She even posted on MYSPACE that MICK JAGGER (Rolling stones) was her dad!
Like seriously!
Ok!!!! People like John Travolta ? OMG you guys. Ok she might have his jaw but doesn’t look like him what so ever. And no offence to anyone but I think this young girl is only looking to make herself even more famous by saying what ever comes in her mind.
Ohh and to end this.. I don’t like her music.
