Ben Folds cover Ke$ha's "Sleazy"

The former Ben Folds Five frontman has released a brilliant, shall we say "alternative" version of Ke$ha's2010 club track Sleazy in aid of the victims of the Japan tsunami. Hipsters will scoff and no doubt take pot shots at Ke$ha's version, while simultaneously declaring their love for Ben's, but they need to get over themselves and get into Ke$ha coz the gurl is fly!

OMG Britney Spears slicker than the remix "Till the world ends" featuring Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha. (Preview)

I can not believe the remix that is heading our way on Monday!! Everyone's favourite multimillionairess tramp Ke$ha- who is also the co-writer of the song- and rapper du jour Nicki Minaj have teamed up with Ms Britney Spears on a Dub-step inspired remix of the already stellar Till the world ends! OMG! Hopefully this is the shot in the arm the song needs to send it rightfully to the top of the charts!

The goosebumps that appeared hearing Ke$ha singing the chorus was totally unexpected and insane! This is a middle-finger and a "we don't give a f$uk" from Team Britney to at all those people that complained  the song sounded too much like a Ke$ha tune!

Full song leaked: listen below!

Ke$ha can't sing: Listen to Ke$ha singing without autotune!

Popular dirt-bag Ke$ha is often lauded for her inability to sing. Cited as evidence of this fact is her choice to "rap" on her material and, on those rare occasions when a melody is called for, rely on copious amounts of auto-tune to hide and tune her real voice.

Logic would dictate that surely if Ke$ha had half a voice we would have heard it demonstrated at some point on her début album Animal, or even more likely- because these criticism started after that release- on its reissue Cannibal right?

Ok, truth time.. The title and the introduction were a red herring- or an out and out lie depending on how you look at it- to entice Ke$ha haters in. Why? Because they need to hear Ke$ha without the rapping and the autotune (see the song Goodbye below) and then decide whether she actually has any talent or not.

After listening to that it should be clear for all to hear, unless they're just a hater, that Ke$ha not only has the ability to hold a tune but, shock horror, can actually sing quite well!

However in this day and age of razzmatazz and rhinestones, where a good voice isn't enough to succeed- see "the Voice" Mariah Carey's recent sales for example- you can't blame Ke$ha for adapting her style and sound to best accommodate the current musical market.

Besides, Ke$ha's still young and has plenty of time to scrub up and show off her singing abilities when music returns back to being focused more on vocal ability and less about putting on a show. A time that may be fast approaching if Adele's recent sales are anything to go by.

Note: To anyone who doesn't know, I AM A KE$HA FAN.

Ke$ha "Tick Tock" vs Katy Perry "Calafornia Girls"

Katy and Ke$ha Mash-up

If the photo on the left is anything to go on then super tramp Ke$ha's and kooky Katy Perry are firm friends in real life. So while we wait for the pair to duet in real life we have Dj Dizhe to thank for a virtual collaboration.

Listen below as Ke$ha's Tick Tock vocals are mixed with the audio, and chorus, of Katy Perry's California Girls in this summery Diva Mash-up!

Lady Gaga Ke$ha and Linkin Park

Let me confess to the world my love for the music site Soundcloud. Hosted there is so much awesome music that has been created and uploaded by the general public for the world to listen to for free! On my searches there I found some brilliant Lady Gaga mash-ups (FYI a mash-up is when two or more songs are mixed together to form a new song). So sit back, listen and enjoy!

Ke$ha Vs Lady Gaga: Ever wondered what Lady Gaga's vocal track from her first hit Just Dance would sound like played over the music of Ke$ha's 2010 mega hit Tick tock? Well wonder no more!

Madonna Vs Lady Gaga: Perhaps my favourite Lady Gaga mash-up is this one. It features the vocal from, perhaps my favourite Gaga song, Monster played over the euphoric production of Get together from Madonna's Confessions of a Dance floor album.

Linkin Park Vs Lady Gaga:  Alternate rockers Linkin Park and their hit Numb is paired below with Lady Gagas's 2010 duet Telephone. The resulting track is one that sounds, strangely, more mature, darker and serious than the Darkchild produced original.

Ke$ha- Vocal Profile/ Range

Ke$ha

Vocal Type: Contralto
Vocal Range: 3 octaves and 2 notes. C#3- Eb#6
Vocal Pluses: Unique vocal style; Can be full of attitude and agression one moment and softer and more serene the next. (See Animal to hear these two styles on one track)
Vocal Negatives: Many find her use of autotune does not allow an accurate picture of her voice to be established.

Ke$ha: Shepherds Bush Empire 2010 photos

Ke$ha at the Shepherds Bush empire.

My favourite celebrity tramp, Ke$ha, was in London yesterday performing at the  Shepherds Bush Empire. Ke$ha certainly looked like she was having a good, but did the audience?

Ke$ha " We R Who We R" : Review and Video.

Kesha's new video, for her #1 US hit, "We R who we R" has just premièred on the internet. It's a fun, if nothing special, video with people dancing, pyrotechnics, and Kesha jumping off a building.

Most notable in the video visuals is how Kesha has incorporated the current trend for outlandish clothes (favoured by the likes of Gaga and Rihanna) into her own, uniquely skanky ,style. With studded eyebrows, bullet chains, a fragmented mirrored dress and her trademark scuffed up boy boots, Kesha is in a league of her own.

The song is basically about going out to a club and and just going wild; and it carries her usual auto-tuned rap/singing, tough girl postulating.  It won't convert any one who didn't like her earlier stuff but it will give all the little Ke$hites something to dance to at the  fast approaching new years festivities and I love it and her.

Kesha is like Marmite, you either Hate her or Love her. Me, I love the trashy look and the carefree attitude. It's a nice contrast to a lot of artists who take themselves too seriously at the moment.

Below Kesha performs "Tick tock" and "We R Who We R" On Jimmy Kimmel Live. The vocals aren't really worth commenting on, and the performance was uninspired and tired... but I still love her though!

Do you love or Hate K$sha? Let the world know!
