I don\u2019t watch the television show Saturday Night Live, hereby to be referred to as SNL. It\u2019s on past my bed time, and there is not a lot of open real estate in my DVR, so SNL just doesn\u2019t make the cut (Don\u2019t worry \u201cHuman Target\u201d, mama will always have room in her DVR for you.). It is fairly well documented that I love me some celebrity gossip websites, so generally if something big and\/or kooky happens, I read about it.<\/p>\n
For days now I keep hearing or reading references to Ke$ha\u2019s recent SNL performance. Finally, and I\u2019ll admit I\u2019m tardy to the party, I saw the performance in question thanks to one of my favorite sites, Ask the Answer B!tch <\/a>(she\u2019s here to help!). One of her readers posed the question, \u201cKe$ha was really bad on Saturday Night Live. Has any SNL musical guest been this disastrous?\u201d<\/a><\/p>\nThe Answer B!tch opened with, \u201cYes, for the record Ke$ha’s SNL appearance does generally fall under the category of There Are No Words. Some things you just can’t unsee once you’ve watched them.\u201d However, after that she goes on to chronicle some SNL musical performance highlights (or I guess in this case they would be lowlights), including the infamous 2004 performance by Ashlee Simpson.<\/p>\nAfter days of seeing people allude to this terrible Ke$ha performance culminating with a blog post flat out titled \u201cWas Ke$ha’s SNL Performance the Worst Ever?\u201d <\/a>I could resist no longer. I watched it.<\/p>\n<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\nMy biggest concern in watching this is did Ke$ha lip synch? This matters to me because once you have acts like Lady GaGa and Pink doing all kinds of awesome stuff and still singing live, I have trouble accepting lip synching for a single song, on a live television show no less. I\u2019ve watched the video several times, squinting with my nose plastered to my monitor looking for a small microphone being worn at the times she\u2019s not holding the cordless microphone. I\u2019m having trouble deciding. Is there perhaps a flesh toned chin microphone, or does Ke$ha have a mole, or a big pimple? Regardless to it being live or not, the opening features a fantastic voice, one vastly superior to what comes after it. If that was a recording of Ke$ha\u2019s actual singing voice I am impressed. Also, why don\u2019t I hear that voice more?<\/p>\nOf course most of the \u201cKe$ha performance sucked\u201d commentary stems more from the costuming than concerns about artistic integrity. Oddly, I have no trouble with what I saw. Ke$ha is an intergalactic super hero that has come to fight for your right to party. What\u2019s so hard about that? Let\u2019s get real folks, although catchy, it\u2019s not like the song \u201cTik Tok\u201d is attempting a cultural revolution or changing the musical landscape. It\u2019s an annoyingly infectious little tune about partying hard. Honestly, her performance may have given the song more depth than it deserved.<\/p>\nI\u2019m curious. My readers are a pretty diverse bunch, what are your thoughts on her performance?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Worst performance ever?
