Well this is interesting.

Heard of Ke$ha? No? Neither have we. Until now.

This is a very peculiar addition to the pop-o-sphere. On the one hand it's complete and utter trash, not in a delightfully Euro-trash way, but in a Gaga trash way. This song "Tik Tok" is the stupider younger sister of "Just Dance", done by someone resembling Taylor Swift's sluttier, electronic alter-ego.

What's even more peculiar is how she's aping an image and sound that bears more than just a few similarities to Uffie or Yelle. Like this is America's tween answer to some hip, indie-ish electro bee-yotch. Except there's nothing hip or indie-ish about this.

All the same, we've certainly heard something worse. It's sort of like Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" the first ten times you hear it- you know it's rotting your brain cells but you can't help that guilty liking you have towards it. A million times later, however, the effect has completely worn off and you're just left with a massive headache and musical nausea.

We have a feeling this Ke$ha character will follow a similar route.
