What Ke$ha sounds like without her precious autotune

I had to look that up

Maybe it is that, I dunno. I get tired of all the hatin' on various forms of pop music. In part because I like pop music (and many other forms of music too) so take it as a personal assault on my taste But also because I don't care for slaggin' other peoples creative efforts. So I call it defending Ke$sha, not other posters.

On the upside, I larn'd a new term!

Given that someone has mixed the music down so low it is almost just her voice, she has been denied her back up singers, denied basic sound processing that makes a voice more full (that even very good vocalists use) and seems to be dancing up a storm, and given that the whole style is not vocal perfection oriented (and don't give me that 'these days' crap, it is hardly new, try Dylan), I think she does very well. This is mixed/extracted to make her sound as bare as absolutely possible under far less then optimal conditions.

I always hear these english lit grads tell me how awful someone like Grisham is. How he can't "write". The question is then, maybe what they think 'writing' involves is wrong. Same goes for making music. Maybe you think you can 'sing better' then Ke$ha does, but if so I think you might misunderstand what makes a song great. I listen to her and I am amused, I smile, I tap/bop along and I remember the song. I'll bet I won't say the same after listening to you. And don't give me that old saw about the producers, etc; sure they are a critical part of it, but you still need the talent to go with it. Their many many failures that happen all the time are testament to that.

I don't mind paying to see a movie, but

a) I sure as hell am not driving to the video store *twice* to get/return it, plus wait in line, go through the endless "no they don't have it", plus zero help in picking a movie

b) I sure as hell am not buying it for $20 bucks. Fuck off. I'm gonna watch once, twice tops.

So, you can rent it to me on iTunes (not likely , bastards hate making the available for rent), rent it to me on Netflix (here in Canada, difficult, limited titles and the publishers don't want to play ball) or you can forgo the revenue and leave me my own devices. I seem to get left to my own devices a *lot*.
