Time: 2015
Place: Yankee Stadium
Event: The Debut of a new Pop Diva: Nekkid Nicki

The lights dim, the crowd is silent with anticipation. In the next moment, fireworks go off, laser lights begin to flash and the drum machine begins to thump..
THUM-THUMP-THUMPITY-THUMP-THUM-THUMP-THUMPITY-THUMP-THUM-THUMP-THUMPITY-THUMP..

Then it happens! Nekkid Nicki is flown onto the stage amidst all the noise and flashing lights by a guy wearing a jetpack. True to her name, Nicki has no clothes, wearing only a bird's nest in her bouffant hairdo populated by two small doves. She walks to the center of the stage and begins her "performance". Nicki's act begins with her screaming like a dog being murdered: "AAAAAIIIEEEEEEEEAUGH!!! AAAAAIIIEEEEEAUGH!!" - for more than 2 minutes. Then she starts running around, barking like a dog and swinging her artificially enhanced breasts at the screming audience. "We love you Nicki!!", the lemming-like fans cry out. Other, less enamored audience members begin to feel dizzy and start to bleed from their ears...

YOU CAN PREVENT THIS POSSIBLE FUTURE. DO NOT BUY THIS HORRIBLE CD. DO NOT SUPPORT NON-TALENTED POSERS LIKE KESHA. SAVE THE FUTURE. SAVE MANKIND..

It amazed me that TIK TOK managed to somehow find its way to #1, but I will be honestly surprised if BLAH fails to ring the bell in short order as well: a MUCH stronger single, BLAH clocks in at 2:52, making it the current go-to record at radio for the "12 songs an hour" nonsense currently being run at clear-channel affiliates -- shorter songs do equal more commercials within the context of such radio promos, and we all know how CC feels about that concept.

BLAH feels, musically, like a L'Trimm/Lady Gaga mash-up; lyrically it's Salt-n-Pepa with a side of Lil' Kim. The hooks are plenty: a chirping keyboard (which is, itself, essentially the entire chord structure) feels like a lighter version of what pushed Buffalo Stance; the chorus itself is hooky in a way that I can't quite put my finger on (I suspect it's an interplay between various recording levels). It's really, REALLY well done, and is a profoundly likable record.

As a result of TIK TOK and BLAH, Ke$ha is now, essentially, the queen of white Female rap: it's a position achieved by default, however, and her sophomore album will have to be MUCH stronger than her first effort here -- if Ke$ha expects to make a career out of this. Even if BLAH does hit #1 -- a feat which will give her two #1's in a row -- I strongly suspect that Ke$ha will end-up being another forgotten name in the annals of pop. The brightest flames DO burn the quickest.

For now, though, BLAH is the perfect record for Ke$ha: an exceptionally strong follow-up to TIK TOK, radio-friendly in both length and sound, risque enough lyrically to generate buzz, with MASSIVE ringtone & remix potential.

Ke$ha, seriously: save some money.

It's a quick ride.

This is a fun, light-hearted funny tune that is intended for adults only. She is a 22 year old singer-songwriter that speaks her mind. The whole CD is phenomenal along with her more than 2 dozen demo songs that never made the CD. Just to let know I'm just a fan since the beginning of the month. I don't know her personally nor do I endorse her in any way. I just am so happy an artist has come along that is speaking her mind for fun. With some titles like (F*** Him)He's a DJ, Former Over-Exposed Blonde, Dinosaur (referring to an old man hitting on her), Paris Hilton's Closet, and Friday Night Bit** Fight, she is just for fun and fluff. She's a mesh of Gwen Stefani, Fergie, Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, & Kelly Clarkson. Give her a chance. She manipulates her voice perfectly for the needed tone of each song. She writes her own material. She is honest & young. This song in particular is my favorite. Lyrically, musically, vocally, and subject wise it's so fun. It's my current favorite song out of all 56 songs I've heard by her.

I wasn't a big fan of Tik Tok, but I really like this song. It's very catchy and most people hate it because it uses auto-tone, but I don't really mind it. Definitely her best song

"Blah Blah Blah" is one of those rare songs in which the title fits the song perfectly. It's a collaboration between Lady GaGa wannabe/Ashley Tisdale lookalike Ke$ha and 3OH!3,the latter who bestowed the immortal phrase "Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips" during the summer of '09. There are guilty pleasure songs,but this isn't one of them. "Blah Blah Blah" isn't so much a duet as the tale of Ke$ha's codependence with auto-tune/vocoder. Like the title of this song,the music of Ke$ha is meaningless,without form and substance.

There are sometimes newer artists that can be strong, but others that cna make music that feels like it is mediocre, and that is honestly the case with newcomer Ke$ha. While she does have might feel like she have a domiant vibe with younger audiences, she unfortunately doesn't have a strong appeal. Her second single from her debut album Animat, Blah Blah, Blah feels like a waste on the ears. While the beat isn't very strong, the feeling of her voice and the lyrics to the sound is absolutely horrible. I wasn't very amused with the single, and I felt it was not a good song. If she really is going to deliver, she should try harder with a better song that is all her own.

Song: D 1/2-
