Kesha has no true talent in terms of singing

" We have singing greats out there like Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Carrie Underwood, Prince, Kelly Clarkson, etc. and then we have the people that teenagers listen to and end up on the top 40 stations. Which category does Ke$ha fall under? The second one." Have you ever seen them live? Hardly anyone sings well live and if they do most of the time it is prerecorded. They have to sing loud to be heard over the band and a lot of times they are also dancing. Ever tried to sing while dancing? " We have people with true talent in whatever they do like the contestants on SYTYCD and American Idol, albeit some of them weren't all that great. Then we have people with an image and a terrible singing voice. What category does Ke$ha fall under? The second one." American Idol is a much better environment for singing because they don't have to dance, it is much cleaner than most concerts, they have classical trainers, and they only have to sing one song. How can you know if Kesha has a good singing voice or not? Most pop and rock singers are fairly bad in concert. True, she doesn't sing much in her songs but I still think you can't know if she is good until she sings for you personally after warming up. "We, as Americans, allow these image-promoting people to be played on our radio waves while the people with these amazing voices and no real true image sit on the stations with music from our past. Why? Why do we allow this to happen? My theory is that the majority of people who listen to the "popular" stations are teenagers. The majority of teenagers really don't care about lyrics, song meanings, or true artistry. I do." I think you have a problem with the meaningless songs on the radio and the image that it portrays, not Kesha. i can't believe you are attacking teenagers. Do you know any teenagers? I am a teenager and I don't listen to the radio most of the time. I think pop music has its place which is for dancing. It is fun to dance to. But if I want music that means something to me, inspires me, that I'll listen to a lot, I look for artists that maybe have on or two songs that were played on pop radio stations or are never played on the radio. I know lots of teenagers that don't listen to the radio. Mostly it is young middle schoolers, ages 10-13, that seem to like pop crap. " It was almost so bad and so strange that I wanted to turn my television off. It was terrible singing. She is honestly, in my opinion and the majority of the people I know, tone deaf. Then why is Ke$ha famous? Her drunken, party girl image." Ok, I saw that performance. It really wasn't that bad and I'm a professional singer. That was quite a good live performance. She was in tune the whole time. I don't know if you've seen live performances but they can't sound like the recording because the recording is changes electronically. Plus, if you were a fan before, you knew she had that image so why do you have a problem now and not then? As to the rest of your argument, you have to realize that almost all of the music on the radio is not written by the "artists". Kesha actually writes her songs. Most of pop music is totally meaningless and I don't necessarily think it is great, but we need to meaningless beats sometimes when we just want to let loose.
