I don’t watch the television show Saturday Night Live, hereby to be referred to as SNL. It’s on past my bed time, and there is not a lot of open real estate in my DVR, so SNL just doesn’t make the cut (Don’t worry Human Target, 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$ha’s recent SNL performance. Finally, and I’ll admit I’m tardy to the party, I saw the performance in question thanks to one of my favorite sites, Ask the Answer B!tch <\/a>(she’s here to help!). One of her readers posed the question, Ke$ha was really bad on Saturday Night Live. Has any SNL musical guest been this disastrous?<\/a><\/p>\nThe Answer B!tch opened with, Yes, for the record Ke$ha’s SNL appearance does generally fall under the category of There Are No Words. Some things you just can’t unsee once you’ve watched them. However, after that she goes on to chronicle some SNL musical performance highlights (or I guess in this case they would be lowlights), including the infamous 2004 performance by Ashlee Simpson.<\/p>\nAfter days of seeing people allude to this terrible Ke$ha performance culminating with a blog post flat out titled Was Ke$ha’s SNL Performance the Worst Ever?<\/a>I could resist no longer. I watched it.<\/p>\n<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\nMy biggest concern in watching this is did Ke$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’ve watched the video several times, squinting with my nose plastered to my monitor looking for a small microphone being worn at the times she’s not holding the cordless microphone. I’m 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’s actual singing voice I am impressed. Also, why don’t I hear that voice more?<\/p>\nOf course most of the Ke$ha performance suckedcommentary stems more from the costuming than concerns about artistic integrity. Oddly, I have no trouble with what I saw. Ke$ha is an intergalactic super hero that has come to fight for your right to party. What’s so hard about that? Let’s get real folks, although catchy, it’s not like the song Tik Tokis attempting a cultural revolution or changing the musical landscape. It’s an annoyingly infectious little tune about partying hard. Honestly, her performance may have given the song more depth than it deserved.<\/p>\nI’m curious. My readers are a pretty diverse bunch, what are your thoughts on her performance?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Worst performance ever?
