Now this is not out of jealousy. I'm trying to figure out what makes her so good. I cannot figure it out. Why does everyone like her? Everyone I know that's into the club scene, Hip-Hop, or Pop really likes her. I tried to listen to one of her songs and I am not seeing it. She sounds drunk all the time. 
 
Damn, this is giving me a headache.

Because she kicks guys to the curb unless they're 80 like Mick Jagger.

Well, if it helps, I have no idea who 'Ke$sha' is, so I guess they haven't beaten the Beatles in popularity yet.
 
Though Beatles aren't much for hip-hop.

Well, your avatar is from Wayne's World. And as a bonus it's the scene with Alice Cooper. Did you know he loves to golf? I'm sorry, what were we talking about? Untalented "artists"? Yeah, fuck that bitch.

That's so funny you said she sounds drunk, because a mate of mine said exactly the same thing.
 
She's disposable bubble gum pop that's okay to listen to while it's around, which probably won't be very long. That first song of hers was annoyingly catchy no matter which way you cut it. That second single though? Nuh-uh. I'm out.
 
Oh, and this.

Thank God. I thought I was alone in this world. What's getting to me too is that on Jeff Gerstmann's twitter he's going on about a Ke$ha Rock Band. But I'm pretty sure that's a joke. Right? RIGHT!?

Her music, as far as horrible popular music goes, is average (not that I like it). Her lyrics, frankly, are just gross.

Edit: I've only heard a mix of Tik Tok (I think with Lil' Wayne or something) and a parody ("Glitter Puke") of it. Never heard the "original" (unless the Lil Wayne one was the original).

If you get someone to write catchy, disposable, soulless pop songs targeted exclusively at children for you, then yes. 
 
On-topic, I caught this Ke$ha person's video on TV a few weeks back. I had to literally switch off the TV in shock because it was so totally, utterly awful.

I'm just glad music as a concept died for me around 2007. As a result, I'm no longer regularly exposed to eye-stabbingly bad music.

Was there controversy with the two songs? From what I can tell, it was originally supposed to be done by Ke$ha before being handed over to Girls' Generation for an official release. Was there more to it than that?
 
Oh, and I just got those two videos you posted to synch up perfectly, too. Very amusing to listen to.

Well I wouldn't necessary call her a good singer. It just that her music is great at the clubs, bars, dances, etc.

My best guess why she is so popular?
a lot of people don't know any better
Britney Spears is soooooooooooooooooo old
 
for the same reason I like The Final Countdown
so bad it's good.
