I bought the new Kesha album

Keeping the "high note" an octave or two lower when covering the song or singing it live is smart, and it still sounds pretty good:



My favorite Ke$ha performance is probably this one, where the audience didn't react as expected to the American flag cape and she keeps going with the performance and actually kind of recovers some energy from the room.  As much as you can recover during a song about being out all night partying with astronauts as your back-up dancers.  A lot of people hypothesize that this is evidence of a record company making an artist be weird on purpose, trying to imitate Lady Gaga.  But I think the weirdness may actually be Kesha's thing, and it's the partying in the club persona that was put on for fame.  *Deep thoughts.*



Either way, I like her new album's weirdness with songs like this one:
